Twenty-Five

"That sound good?" I look at everyone. Leaving a not so happy look at Newt.

"Yeah." They all mumble. "So in the mornin'?" Thomas asks.

I nod, "Good that."

Thomas and I climb back down into the Pit to go to sleep.

I awoke to the blinding light of the sun seeing that Thomas was still passed out. Today was the day Gally finally decided to have our Banishment. It just made me wonder. How do we get Banished if the doors don't close? I guess that's up to Gally.

The door swung open revealing Jeff and some other guy.

"C'mon." Jeff looks at me sadly.

I sigh climbing out myself then they climb in to grab Thomas. I guess Gally was actually ready today. The both of them carried Thomas they got someone else to drag me.

We got to the doors to see everyone gathered around with two large poles in the ground. It got me curious.

"Tie 'er up." Gally orders.

Which they do. They tie me to one of the poles while the others still held Thomas.

"What're you doing? Stop him." I tug from the ropes. "I thought this was a Banishment."

"It's an offering. Soon as the both of you are gone the Grievers will leave us alone."

"That won't be true. The Grievers will keep coming back until you're all dead." I look at the Gladers.

"Tie him up." Gally puts at Thomas.

"Don't just stand there. This is crazy."

"Shut up!" He shouts. "Did you hear me? Tie him up."

They begin to lift him to tie him up when he hits them in legs taking a pole. I kicked one of the boys in their no no square as Spencer cuts my rope. Teresa, Thomas, Spencer, Newt, Minho, Chuck and I all group up by the door.

"We're leaving. They are gonna keep coming back. We mind as well get out now while we can." Thomas says looking at them.

"Don't listen to him, he's just trying to scare you." Gally looks at the Gladers.

"You're already scared. I'm scared. But I'd rather risk my life getting out than spending the rest of it in here. So if you want you can join us. C'mon Gally."

Jeff, Winston, Frypan and many more join us.

"Alright, let's go." We all turn around and begin running out. We run around corners to get to The Blades. Which only remind me of the day Thomas and I first went.

"Do you still have it? The key?" I look at Minho as we run.

He nods, "In my pack." He pats his back.

I smile as we continue running soon approaching the enormous things. Blades. I wonder why they called them The Blades...

We soon enough arrived the the corridor but Thomas decided to lean against the wall before running in. He leans over to look down into the corridor then turns back with a small groan.

"Grievers?" Chuck questions.

"Grievers." Thomas breathes.

"Here. You stay with Teresa. Get the door opened." I give Teresa the key while looking at Chuck.

He nods.

"Chuck do me one thing." I look at him.

"What's that?"

"Please don't be clumsy and fall off the edge or something."

"I won't." He smiles.

"Okay, we're ready." I look back at Thomas.

"Alright! We die tryin'!" He shouts before turning down the corridor and we all scream.

Let the fight begin.
