Y/n's POV
The maps where hard to analyse and I couldn't see much change in the walls that Minho didn't already know about. The drawings where just the same thing in the same cycle and without the maps of my maze it was hard to recognise a connection if there was even one.

I let out a loud sigh. I was frustrated with this going no where. I needed to clear my head.

"I'm going to go to the med-hut" I said standing up from where I was.

"What why?, are you ok?" Minho asked.

"Yea I just need time to think I was going to work at the med-hut a bit to change my thinking pace and I'm kinda cold" I said noticing I was shivering in my wet clothes.

"Yea I'm kinda cold too" Minho agreed.

We walked back to the Homestead. I went to my room only to realise I don't have a change of dry clothes. So I just stayed in my wet ones, I figured they would dry eventually.

When I got to the med-hut Jeff was having a nap on one of the front cots, I saw Clint walking around in the back room, both boys completely oblivious to my presence.

I stood beside Jeff and got ready to scare him.

"Raahhhhh!" I screamed at him and pushed him lightly with my hands.

"Ahhhhh!" Jeff jumped back from shock and fell off the cot.

Clint came running in to find me laughing my head off and Jeff sitting on the floor sulking that I ruined his nap.

"Oh gosh Y/n" Clint said holding a hand to his chest. "I thought something was really wrong".

"Something is really wrong" Jeff said getting up. "She woke me up".

"Haha so worth it" I continued "Plus can't have you sleeping on the job can we Jeff".

"You see this place, it's so quiet, no ones been in all day" Jeff said reasoning his nap.

And Jeff was right we sat about doing nothing for at least another hour. It was boring but I guess it's good no one is getting hurt.

We went and had lunch and when we got back we sat down not expecting anyone but in through the door came a boy with red hair. He was limping.

"Seriously Sam again" Jeff said getting a bag of ice while Clint helped him over to a cot.

We sat him down and elevated his leg and put ice on it. A rolled ankle was a very common injury and apparently Sam would very frequently limp in here with another rolled ankle.

"How do you do it so often?" I ask.

"I don't know" Sam said. "Sometimes I trip, sometimes it's because I'm running around the glade, sometimes my ankle just gives out", "I'm just clumsy I guess".

"And what was it this time?" Jeff asked handing him a glass of water.

"I missed a step on the stairs and it just started hurting" Sam said.

My mind started thinking. Not about Sam and his silly injury but about what he said. He sometimes rolls his ankles from running. Running, the maps, the maze, a runner. I need to be a runner. To find the connection I need to be there, in the maze.

"I've got to go" I said to the boys.

"This is your job Y/n, you can't just leave" Clint said.

"I know, I'm sorry but I really have to go, you guys have got it sorted" I said backing towards the door.
"I'll make it up to you" I said quickly leaving and looking for Alby.

I went to the gardens to ask Newt. He was tending to the soil around the tomatoes.
"Newt have you seen Alby?" I asked. I think I startled him because he looked up sharply at the sound of my hurried voice.

"Alby's at the blood house" he said pointing me in the right direction.

'"Thanks Newt" I said.

"No problem" he said and went back to his gardening.

'Great the blood house' I thought but went there anyway. I stood outside not wanting to go in.

"Alby!" I called out to him. Nothing
"Alby!" I said knocking on the rickety wooden door. Nothing.
"ALB-" I stopped when the door swung open with an irritated Alby behind it. "Hey, hi so I need to talk to you" I said.

"Later Y/n, everyone needs to talk but at the moment I'm working something out in the blood house" He said about to close the door to dismiss me.

I put my foot in the way so the door couldn't close.

Alby gave me a death glare "You better watch it or I might tell everyone about what I saw at the lake this morning, not sure everyone would be happy for you two".

His threat didn't worry me so I continued "It's about the maze, about the connection" I said.

Alby looked at me seriously and stepped out of the door. "Tell me" he said.
