Newt x Y/n, Part 1: The Glade

Chapter 22, The Banishment

I was comforting Chuck when Frypan came to us. He looked sad.

"What's wrong Fry?" I asked.

Tears rolled down his face,

"Ben is getting banished. You don't have to come if you don't want to."

"What?!" Chuck yelled.

"What happened to him Fry?" I asked.

"He got stung, by a griever." He said looking down.

"In broad daylight?! There's no way to help him?!" I panted.

"No, there isn't. I have to go prepare." He walked away slowly, head hung low.

"Y/n, I don't wanna see Ben get banished." Chuck said holding back tears, his voice choking with every word he spoke.

I grabbed him and hugged him.

"Chuck, I'm gonna try to stop this. I know there's a way for him to be okay. I just know there is." I reassured him.

I ran to Alby, he was standing at the wall with Fry, Clint, Newt, Gally, and Winston.

"ALBY! DONT DO THIS!" I yelled at him angrily.

I went up to him not caring about the others around.

"Please. Just let me fix him." I pleaded.

"Y/n, there's no way you can fix him. What's your plan huh? How are you gonna fix a sting with no equipment for that?" He said.

"The same way Clint and Jeff fixed me." I said, "with care and determination." I said toughly.

"I get you're point all right? I get where you're going. But I'm sorry, I can't do anything else. He will rot and die a slow painful death." He said coldly.

"I-" he cut me off.

"I'm sorry y/n, there's nothing you or I can do. I appreciate your offer." Alby said.

I looked at him angrily and trampled off. I was angry. Ben was a good friend. I couldn't bear to see him go.

It was time for the banishment. I was curious as to what was gonna happen. Chuck followed close behind. Minho brought Ben out, dragging him to the walls.

"No! Please! Minho! Don't do this, I swear I'll be good! I'll change please!" Ben pleaded.

Tears rolled down my face. I had realized that Chuck walked off. I felt guilt and sadness. Worst feeling combination.

Bens hands were tied behind his neck and with a rope. Minho took a knife and cut it in half.

"Poles down!" Alby yelled.

The boys lowered their poles. Minho threw a bag into the maze.

The walls sounded signaling they would start closing.

"Forward!" Alby yelled.

The boys slowly inched closer. The walls started to close. Ben kept pleading to let him stay. I was full on crying now. Soon the walls were very close to closing and Ben ran into the maze.

The walls closed completely and that's the last time we ever saw Ben.
