Chapter Nine: Traitor

Newts POV~~~~

I stood up from where Thomas and I sat, it was nice sitting with him, and just talking. Where had Elena run off to though? "Tommy, i'm gonna go find Elena, care to come?" Thomas looked up at me and nodded the same way he did everytime I said something. "Alright, we'll start in the woods"

I walked over to the woods, as the sky began to blacken. I didn't know what had come over her, maybe it was the mention of banishing someone, I didn't like the idea too much myself. I stumbed over sticks and rocks, with Thomas having the same issue. It was getting dark and harder to see every bloody second.

"There!" Thomas yelled stumbling off to the left. "Elena!" he reached her, and I sped up trying to catch up too him. A limp really didn't do ya too well out here.

"Get away from me Tom" she hissed, I had never heard her so angry before. I stepped closer to Thomas and a twig snapped below my feet. "You too! Get out of here! NOW!" I wasn't phased by her anger, so I did what Thomas didn't. I sat next to her, there was an odd chill in the air tonight.

"Elena, look at me. What's wrong?" I asked as i attempted to lift up her head, but she quickly smacked my hand away.

"I said go away Newt" she was stern this time, and I could see the anger rising in her face.

"Look, I don't know what in the bloody hell your goin through but ya might as well tell us. Ain't a lot we haven't been through" I looked over to Thomas for help, but he looked angry too. He clenched his fists into balls and puched the tree next to him, and with that Elena shot her head up.

"You wanna know why she wants us to go?" he paused for a moment and looked from me to Elena "Because there is no one in the pit Newt" he motioned over to the open door.

My eyes widened, what was happening? "Elena where is Gally?" I could feel my own self getting angry.

"I let him go! Okay? He couldn't be banished! That's not in the plans! Enough has already gone wrong, we can't change anything else!" tear were streaming out of her eyes now, she looked like she was in intense pain, but I found myself not caring.

"What are you talking about?! You knowin all this stuff, we're supposed to fight what happens! We are supposed to go on our OWN terms!" Thomas was shouting at this point, and I had gotten up off the ground and moved next to him.

"Look at you two, standing next to each other as one. Just like brothers. You're pathetic!" She had stood up and was pointing fingers, rage in each step she took. I watched the color wash away, her face turning completely pale, and the pink lips that once looked so full, were dry and discolored.

"Elena calm down, just explain to us why ya did it, we aren't the enemies here" I took a step closer to her, my arm out as a way of protection.

"You wanna know why?" a dark smile made its way onto her face. "WICKED is good" the words struck my chest like a dagger. I looked over to Thomas whos eyes seemed darker, but I could tell the words had hit him hard too.

I turned to face and Elena but she wa on the ground, eyes closed. I ran over to her and checked her pulse. "She's alive, help me carry her back to the Glade" Thomas moved himself to the other side of her, and picked up her legs. We lifted her and began our way back to the Glade. What was that all abou? I thought to myself.

THOMAS POV~~~~~

I looked at the back of Newts head as we carried Elena back, a thousand things racing through my mind. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. We had a psycho running around free, and now our only hope of surviving had gone mad. I cared about her a lot more than I should, and every inch of my body ached to trust her, to believe in her, but I didn't know if I could.

"Alright place her down here" Newt said as her laid her arms out flat next to her body. It looked so lifeless, like someone had gone and sucked it all out of her. "Tommy look at me." Newt said waving his hand in my face. "She's gonna be alright" he knew how unconvincing her sounded, yet he tried so hard to believe it. I rolled my eyes at his effort.

"What do you think happened back there?" I asked following Newt into the medjacks room. He completely ignored my question.

"Jeff, where's Minho?" Newts voice sounded unsteady. I had never heard the boy sound as concerned as he was now. "He's back by the logs gettin' some wood" Newt nodded and walked in the other direction, grabbing my arm and taking him with me.

A flutter of emotion swept through me when he grabbed my arm. It was emotions I forgotten I had. Security, trust, and just a bit of happiness. Newt made everyhing seem okay for a moment. We walked over to where Minho stood by himself, his body elimunated by the moon.

"Minho, we need your help" I hadn't even realized the words escaped my mouth.

"What's goin on?" he made his way over to us "Where's Elena?" he asked

"She's gone bloody mad" Newt said. I wondred why Newt was more annoyed then upset, he did care for Elena after all. I felt a trickle of sweat make it's way down my face.

"What are you shanks talkin' about?" The tone in Minhos voice quickly changed. I listened as Newt explained the insane events that had just taken place, he talked fast, and angre began to creep it's way into his voice.

"Alright Newt! Just calm down!" Minho said, I had been so concetrated on the sound of his voice I missed the part where he had paused and began clenching his fists. "Take me over to her"Newt and I guided Minho over to where Elena lay, still so lifeless and fragile.

As the thoughts consumed my mind I heard a voice inside "What are you talking about Tom?" It was Elena. " What happened back there? Why did you let Gally go?" I didn't want the pain to be obvious in my head, I looked over to Newt who had laid his hand on her forehead. He finally seemed like himself in that moment. "I would NEVER let him go, I can't open my eyes. What happened to me?" It all made perfect sense.

She didn't remember anything. I quickly grabbed Newt and Minho, "what if something happened to her? What this whole thing is one big trick to try and keep us in here longer" my mind was racing, and I have no idea if what I was saying even made sense.

"Slow down shank, where'd you get this idea from?" Minho's words were soft. I looked over to Newt asking for help.

"He might be onto something" Newt said, glancing over back to Elena.

"You have to trust me on this" I wasn't even convincing myself at this point, but instead of arguing Minho nodded.

"Alright we'll see how is she when she wakes up. Thomas take the first turn of watchin over her, Newt you'll take the next" before we could even say anything Minho had already begun walking off.

I looked over to Newt who was staring at Elena, and then back over to me "Alright then, i'll see you in a bit" he said

"Newt wait" I caught myself grabbing onto his bruised arm."Thank you" he looked at me for what felt like hours, and then nodded, walkng off to where he would sleep.

I sat down next to Elena and clapsed my hand around her cold fingers. "I need you to wake up Elena... We all do. Please, we need to know what happened" I waited for a moment but she said nothing, didn't even budge.

I closed my eyes next to where her head lie. Thoughts ate at my brain, I looked over to her and sighed.

Hour had passed and I heard a terrying shreik that could have woken the entire glade. It was Elena, but my eyes wouldn't open. I was consumed with sleep. I heard Newts voice distant, but getting closer.

"Tommy wake up!" his voice echoed in my ears over and over again, my eyes shot open. Nothing. Elena was still blacked out and all the gladers were still asleep.

What was that? Once again I let the darkness consume me.

I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THIS CHATER! COMMENT WHAT YOU THINK!

THANKS FOR READING GLADERS :)
