With Newtmas 2

Grievers Choice part 4

THOMAS POV:

I felt different, stiff, and soar. Probably from last night. My back hurt the most. The sun shined in my eyes. I heard sounds. I want to sleep. I ignored the sounds and heard voices. I sensed everyone. Newt ran up to me and brushed my hair out of my face. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. 

"Newt" I weakly asked. 

Newt smiled and put his hand on my cheek. 

"Hey Tommy. You feel okay" asked Newt. 

"No" I said. 

Newt looked at my hand. 

"What bloody happened to your hands" asked Newt. 

"I tried punching the doors last night" I said weakly. 

Newt signed and picked me up. 

"Come on Thomas, you can rest at the hospital now that you are a true glader" said Newt. 

I hugged Newt and he carried me to the hospital. I closed my eyes and every one congratulated me on how I survived and I'm now a true glader. I'm just glad I don't have anymore test or anything. Newt laid me down on a bed. I opened my eyes. 

"I'll be right back Tommy" said Newt. 

"Where are you going" I asked. 

"To get the blanket from the dryer. Clint and Jeff can you patch up Thomas' hands" asked Newt. 

"Sure" said Jeff. 

Newt left and the medjacks started to patch up my hands. 

"How is your back feeling" asked Clint. 

"It hurts a little. I think it's just that I fell on it" I said. 

"That could be but let us check quick" said Jeff. 

I weakly rolled onto my stomach and the medjacks lifted my shirt. 

"Looks like his griever arms are growing in" said Jeff. 

"My what" I asked. 

"Everything okay" asked Newt as he entered with a big fluffy blanket. 

"Ya, Thomas' griever arms are just growing in. We have to cut a hole over them but it will hurt" said Clint. 

Newt set the blanket down and walked up to me. Newt held my hand. 

"Okay Thomas you ready" asked Jeff. 

"I guess" I said. 

The medjacks cut holes in my back. Six holes and they all hurt. I groaned in pain and squeezed Newt's hand. The medjacks finished and I relaxed. 

"Now he just needs to rest" said Jeff. 

Newt covered me up with the blanket. Clint and Jeff went back to work. I looked at Newt. 

"Why did you shove me out of the glade last night" I asked. 

Newt signed and sat down on the bed. 

"We have a rule here Tommy. Every month the box sends up a human. We give them fresh comfy clothes, a warm shower, and a final meal before they become half griever or die. When you are sent to the maze it is the grievers choice. They have killed people before. The shank before you was killed. We just sent those who died back down in the box" said Newt. 

"Who was the guy before me" I asked tiredly. 

"Matthew. He was a shank to everyone so it's not surprising the grievers killed him" said Newt. 

"I guess it all makes sense now" I said. 

"Ya, now just bloody rest" said Newt. 

"Can you lay with me" I asked. 

"Ya, I just have to tell Alby and the others quick" said Newt. 

He left and came back not long after. Newt laid down and I laid on his chest. Newt held me in his arms. I smiled and closed my eyes. I don't fully like what all happened but I'm glad it's over. Hopefully now it will all be okay. Newt and I snuggled till breakfast.
