Chap 24: Minho's Hair

Minho's pov.

Float
Catch
Bleed
Death
Stiff
Push

Could that really be the code? Could the Griever hole, as we call it, really be our escape? "Every week makes one of the words. Then the next and then the next. When it finally makes the word 'push' it doesn't make anything for a week. Then it starts over." Haley tries to explain to me for the 50th time as we sit outside the Homestead. "I don't understand." I whinned as Kylie and Newt come outside.

"The Sass Master doesn't understand anything besides sass." Kylie sasses me. "Don't sass me little lady." I sass back as I stand up to show our height difference. She just looks at me not caring about the height. "I will out sass the 'sassy' Sass Master." She snaps her fingers and puts quotes our the word sassy. "But that's my job to out sass my boyfriend." Haley pouts as she leans aganist my musclar arms.

"Well I have taken over." Kylie said. "You all are so childish." Newt saids as he wraps his arms around Kylie. "But you still love us." I said in a girlyish way. We laughed. "Yes Min, yes I do." Newt said nodding his head. We laugh harder. After our laugh fest Clint comes running up to us. "The other girl! She woke up and now she is throwing stuff at us from the watch tower." He gasped as ran back to the now forming crowd.

We ran over there but were quickly yanked under some wooden slabs. I screamed when a knife came down almost cutting through my foot. "OH MY SHUCKING GOD!! IM GONNA DIE!!! MY FOOT ALMOST GOT CUT OFF!! WHATS NEXT MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!?!?!" I screamed holding my precious hair. I hear roars of laughter and I quickly spin around to see Haley, Kylie, and Newt rolling on the ground laughing.

"Get up you shuck-faces before you get stabbed too." I blushed, embarrassed. "No! I physically can not get up!" Kylie yelled as tears came to their eyes. It took five whole minutes but they turned back into normal humans again. "Thank god your human again." I mumbled. They laughed again. This time it was thankfully short. "Kylie and Haley, you guys should go up there to the girl and try to calm her down." Alby comes up to us.

"But what if they get stabbed like Minho almost did?" Newt asked smirking but with concern in his voice. I glared daggers at him. "We won't. Promise." Kylie told him. "Pinkie promise?" I butted in holding my pinkie out. Newt wrapped his around mine. The girls followed and said "Promise" together. With that they went up the ladder.

Haley's pov.

I went up the ladder first. When I got to the opening I hesitated before pushing it upwards. I slowly climbed higher so my whole body was above the floor. I stood up and helped Kylie up. But she looked over to her right and she jumped. She scrambled up and stood next to me. I turned and gasped as I saw the knife only a foot or two away from us. The girl held a huge butcher knife in our direction.

"Why can't I remember anything?" She demmanded not moving from where she sat. I leaned foward and grabbed the knife out of her grip. I explained everything. "Your name will come back to you unless you already know it." I looked at her and she looked between Kylie and I. "Teresa." She told us looking down at the Gladers work. I don't like her. She keeps on looking at Minho and Newt with lust. She needs to go or she is going to cause some trouble.
