The loud noises of the Doors opening summoned every Glader to the widening gap. At the front of the semi circle was Minho, Newt, and I. The Gladers were silent, but the Doors made up for that. We all held our breaths as the Doors fully revealed the towering walls of the Maze.
Empty. That's the first thing the Gladers noticed about the corridor. No one. Not Issy or Thomas. Completely empty. Then, a flicker of movement. Tiny, but I noticed it. "There's something there!" I shouted. The movement quickly evolved into one person. Our hearts sank.
Then, we realised it wasn't one human, but one carrying another in his arms. Issy was unconscious or dead, and Thomas was clearly hurt. "Tommy!" I shouted, unable to stay at the doorway. I ran as fast as I could towards them.
"Are you alright? What happened? Is she..." I didn't want to finish my sentence. Thankfully, Thomas shook his head. I breathed out. "Here, let me take her." I took Issy from Thomas's arms, quickly having her taken from me by Minho. He clutched her tight to him. Shouting for the Medjacks, Minho ran back to the Glade. I supported Thomas, who was weak and tired, by putting one of his arms around my shoulders. Newt came and took the other. Together, we limped back to the Glade.
I groaned as I placed Thomas down on a bed in the Medjack hut. "Are you alright?" I asked him, looking him over. "A few scratches, but I'll live." He sighed, and laid back on the pillows. I patted him on the shoulder, standing up from my place kneeling beside the bed when Clint walked in. "I just need to clean your cuts and scrapes. Do you think you have any broken bones?" Clint walked over and put a hand on Thomas's shoulder. He rolled his eyes. "I feel fine, thanks." He said sarcastically. I shook my head. "What has Minho done to you?" We all laughed lightly.
Thomas shook his head. "I really feel fine, I promise!" He said to Clint, but Clint shook his head. "I'm going to fix you up, now. " He looked pointedly at me and I obediently left, wondering how long it would take.
