The Girl Glader (Updated, edited and revised version)

Chapter 4-Timber!

Adam steps up as cheers, whoops and a few "Yeah Adam!" are heard. The fight commences with Gally throwing Adam to the ground. As I laugh, able to support myself a bit more (but still quite wobbly) I feel a cup get placed gently into my hand.

"Drink it. I promise it will help." I hear Minho whisper in my ear. Carefully, I take a sip, the taste of water filling my mouth. It tastes amazing. I smile at Minho, feeling a little less queasy already. I earn a smile back from him. "You're welcome." He chuckles.

We turn our attention back to the fight. It's still seems to be going on strong, although Adam seems to be strugling a bit. After a few hits, Gally throws Adam out of the ring, causing him to stumble and land in my arms. I help him regain his balance with a laugh.

"Thanks." He murmurs.

"Who's next?" Gally bellows. Still laughing, I step forward. "Greenie?"

"Y/n, no you don't." Newt interjects. I laugh.

"Come on, it can't be that bad." I take another step forward, stumbling slightly. Minho gently grabs my arm, keeping a firm hold on it.

"You really don't want to," he whispers. "Not in your state." I roll my eyes and take another step forward, now in the middle of the circle.

"What's a bit of fun?" I call. Cheers erupt around me and I flash one last quick smile at Newt and Minho. "Live a little!" Facing Gally, he explains the rules. I have to try and get him out of the circle before he gets me out.

In our fighting stances, Gally comes at me and lightly punches my arm.

"Come on Gally! Give me your all!" I punch him in the shoulder, knocking him off balance. I stumble slightly, my head a little cloudy again.

I laugh heartily, regaining my balance. Turning around, I see Gally charging at me. His fist painfully connects with my face, sending me sprawling to the ground. Black spots swarm my vision and my eyes water. I slowly stand up and dab at the blood spilling from my nose as the black spots disappear. A grin forms on my lips.

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" I exclaim as Gally charges again. I dodge his attack, pushing him to the ground. He gets up and I dodge again. I stand at the edge of the circle, enough that I am still in it. This time when Gally goes to punch, I grab his wrist. Using my strength and his momentum, I swing him past me, throwing him out of the circle. After a few seconds of silence, cheers erupt from the crowd.

Smiling and laughing as the other Gladers come up to congratulate me, I stumble through the crowd with a yawn. Eventually, the cheers and congratulations stop and I find myself alone, everything going fuzzy. As the world around me blurs, it starts to tilt.

"Timber!" I laugh. Next thing I know, I feel something cool against my face. A strong pair of hands pull me to my feet and helps to stabilize myself.

"I think she may have had too much of Gally's drink." A voice laughs.

"Come on, let's get her to bed." Another voice says softly.

Opening my eyes, I am met with Minho's smirking face and Newt's motherly face.

"Nooo," I slur. "No. 'M 'kay." Minho rolls his eyes and gently places my arm around his shoulder. Newt does the same with my other arm.

"No, you aren't," Minho chuckles. We make our way towards the Homestead, most of my weight being supported by the two boys.
