Thomas was back to normal. Words came out of the boys mouth making me feel relieved to hear his voice. Unfortunately all that left his mouth was questions; questions no one wanted to answer for multiple reasons.

Thomas is a very curious person, sometimes a little too curious. He wants answers which scares me.

How far is Thomas willing to go? What lengths will he travel in order to get these answers? Most importantly what will he do with it?

"Why would Alby go into the maze? I mean- he's not a runner."

I sat in between Thomas and Chuck, sitting down on a giant tree. The tree must've fallen a while ago, I wonder when it fell did the whole glade shake? It is thick so I wouldn't have been surprised.

I sat on the log uninterested in whatever it was Chuck was doing. I sat up and reached for the small knife in Thomas hand. The brunette had been touching the blade with the top of his finger.

Thomas let go of the knife, its disappearance didn't faze the boy what's so ever.

"Things are different." Newt held a machete; a long a curvy knife. In one of his hands. Zart and Newt had been trying to slice through the stump of a tree.
"Alby went to retrace Ben's footsteps before sundown- Look are you gonna help?" Newt explained to Thomas, accidentally saying more than he should've.

"Ok. So he's going to go back to where Ben was just-"

I drew my attention away from the knife and looked up at Newt.

"Alby knows what he is doing." Newt held his machete up and pointed it in our direction. "Alright? He knows better than any of us." The blonde went back to hitting the end of the tree.

I hope so.

The interaction I had with Ben was weird and complicated. I know Alby won't get answers from the maze but a part of me wants to have faith. I want to know who's going to hurt me. I have to know.

If not how well I know who to protect myself from?

"What does that mean?" Thomas titled his.

Newt brought the machete away from the tree and took a couple steps in his place. His hand went to the back of his hand, irritably.

I mentally rolled my eyes at the brunette. "Thomas, you should be helping Chuck right now. Or Newt."
I stabbed the sharp part of the knife in the tree.
