Beyond the walls (Newt II Maze Runner)

Chapter 1

"What the Shank is that?" Minho questioned quietly squinting into the maze. There was definetly something moving down there, thought Minho. When no one answered him he said it louder,

"What the Shank is that?!" The runners who'd been preparing to dive into the maze stood still, they stood still, confused.

"Might want to change your 'what' into a 'who', Minho." said Newt who'd walked over to Minho when he heard him yelling. Minho cursed, then looked expectantly at Newt,

"Well? Aren't you gonna tell Alby or what, you klunk?" Newt mumbled some sort of agreement before jogging off slowly, his limp very noticeable. The sight of Newt jogging off towards the homestead was quite a spectacle seeing as Newt normally walked, and it drew many boys from their breakfast. They gathered around in a semi-circle formation around the open door. A voice sounded from the front of the group,

"It's a girl!" Minho had no idea who had shouted the comment, but it had caused an avalanche of whispers that weren't very easy on the ears. He began to push boys back from the door, waiting for Alby, and Newt. It seemed like hours to Minho, but could have only been seconds before he spotted Alby running from the homestead with Newt trailing behind. Alby had only made it halfway to the door when he shouted,

"Get back you shucks!" Immediately, as if by magic, each Glader backed up a solid 10 feet from their previous location. Alby stopped running, but took brisk strides until he was at the front of the semi-circle. Harper was only 15 feet away and she could start to make out a few faces which she recognized from her time with WICKED. She knew who Alby was, but it order to gain the trust of thr Gladers, she would have to wait to tell them that. She sped up her walking pace, so she would meet Alby right in the middle. When she finally reached the grass of the Glade, she stopped, and held out her hand,

"I'm Harper, I believe we have some things to discuss," Alby shook her hand with a stern look on his face, "What's your name?"

"Alby," He began to pull her away towards the homestead. "Gathering. Now. And if you don't wanna be in the slammer for a week, I recommend that you get back to work." After Alby's statement, a few boys followed them towards the homestead. Harper recognized a few like Newt, Gally, and Zart. He pulled roughly on her wrist, not giving Harper enough of a chance to look around. When they all reached the homestead, they had to enter single file, while Alby led them down the hall. They took a right, then continued on down 3 doors, before going in the fourth. Alby lead Harper in first, bringing her to the lone chair, away from the table where all the boys sat. When Alby finally took his seat at the head of the table he said,

"Alright, well it seems we got a girl now, and we gotta decide if we're keeping her or not."
