Chapter 17 "Unexpected visit but and horrific discovery"

Thomas stood by the sunk in the big bunk. The only light being the one above the mirror he was looking himself in. He hadn't sleept very well since you all got to this place. Most nights he'd only gotten two hours of sleep. He cupped his hands and splashed some water on his face. Then walking back to the beds. Chuck was deep asleep, lightly snoring. Frypan, Winston and Minho was also asleep. Fourth night at this place and Thomas still wondered why he couldn't get one night's proper sleep.
"At least Minho's not snoring" Thomas said in a low voice to himself. Just as he came up to his bed he glanced up at you and Newt. You were fast asleep, so was Newt. You laid like every night for the past four nights, on your side with your head on Newt's shoulder while your right arm rested on his chest.

Thomas shook his head and laid down on the bed, trying to get comfortable, he thought over a conversation he had witg Teresa. Tye both of them had talked about... before all this, their relationship before Thomas got sent up the maze. He stared at the top bunk, the slight movement from your or Newt moving a littel. But what caught his attention, and made him questioning what he heard was something sounding like screws or bults being twisted and then something in metal being opened. He looked around, a dumbfounded expression on hsi face as he thought he was just imagining
"Hey, psst!" A shallow voice called, almost like a wisper.
Thomas sat up and looked around.
"Down here! Psst!" Thomas frowned and looked under his bed, startled when he saw a boy in the vent. Recognizing the boy as Aris. Finally was one of the things running through his mind, but also what is he doing in the vents?

Aris quickly put a finger over his mouth to signal to Thomas to be quiet, him doing as Aris wanted. Aris then motioned for Thomas to follow him.
"Be quiet, follow me!" Aris wispered quietly, turning and started to crawl back into the vents.
"What the?.." Thomas said in a hushed tone. Even though he was confused he wanted to know what he wanted to show him. He reluctantly climbed down his bed and crawled into the vents, following Aris.
"Hurry!" Aris told Thomas.
Thomas moved as fast as he could in the cramped space, he was happy to not be claustrophobic, Aris keept on telling him to hurry, making him sigh every time out of frustration. Just like in the glade, no questions could be answered.
Once Aris stopped, Thomas just rounded a corner. There was a light coming from the middle of the vents, seeming to be another grid just like the one under Thomas' bed, but this lead down to a hallway.

"Watch" Aris simply told Thomas and looking down thought the grid. Thomas didn't understand and felt as if this was unnecessary but that was until one of the doctors that the first day had been with them. Thomas edged closer and then a bed, but it was covered up and on a screen on one of the ends was a body image. And the light fabric being over what ever was on it that faint outlins of a human body could be seen.
"What the hell was that?" Thomas breathed as it disappeared from his viwe.
"They bring new ones in everyday like clockwork,"
"What do they do with them?"
"I don't know, this is as far as we've ever gotten. If someone goes through that section, once they got through that door they never come out. Except your friend, that girl I guess. They don't come back out"
Thomas looked at Aris.

"I don't think anyone ever leaves this place," Aris said. "Come one we gotta get back before anyone notices we're gone."
"Why did you show me this?" Thomas asked Aris, making him turn back.
"Because maybe the other will listen to you, there's something weird going on here and I know you and your friends, you especially." Aris told him before going off again. Thomas just watched for a second before he got to his senses.
"Hey!" Aris stopped. "What's your name?" Thomas asked, wanting to make sure aris got to introduce himself.
"Aris." He simply told Thomas before setting off.

Just like the last five days you all sat in the canteen. To your luck no one had come to get you yet, making you ecstatic as you were fairly frightened by tye fact you didn't remember. Teresa had also approached you erlier in the day telling you that you could remove the sling as your wound would be pretty healed. The boys sat low, you doing the same to not have any of the boys tug you down, but Chuck... Chuck was just so incredibly confused at times now especially. He just wanted to be like the other guys when he got older and just tried to do as much he could to be like them, making you almost pull an awe face at how confused yet determined he was to be like the other guys.
Newt gazed at you, as you pulled a awe face at Chuck he did that for you, not noticing he was doing it.
