-"Aria why won't you eat your chicken?"

Ben questioned when he walked past her at dinner.

She rolled her eyes.

-"Oh you know shucking well."

Winston's laugh made her remember him.

-"Sure sure."

Ben said and as soon he had walked off she rushed up to Winston.

-"I have to ask you something."

He nodded down to the table.

-"Go ahead, is it about chickens?"

She shook her head.

-"No, and in private please."

He groaned standing up, but followed after her without another word.

-"What is it?"

She sighed, not knowing how to say it.

-"I think we're siblings."

He spat out the rest of the chicken he had in his mouth.

-"We're what?!"

She rolled her eyes at him.

-"Yes I heard you, but why?"

He actually seemed curious, so she continued.

-"Well you can see how similar we look-"

-"I can't see my face but I guess your right."

-"That's not the point."

She said annoyed.

-"And when I came up in the box, I remembered your name."

-"You.. also did?"

Her jaw dropped.

-"You knew my name?"

He nodded.

-"When I were in the box, yes. Then I forgot it randomly. But when I saw you in the box, it came back as natural as if I always had knew you."

She swallowed, completely shocked.

-"But don't tell anyone about this, alright?"

Aria lifted an eyebrow.

-"I like being alone and I don't need any unnecessary meetings about this, got it?"

-"Yeah, true."

He gave her a nod and walked back.

The next day were a day off.

She sat on her bed, drawing in her notebook that she had asked for.

The builders had actually seemed to cool down a bit.

Or were they planning something worse?

She felt shivers at the thought of it, doing it.

-"Aria!"

Her thoughts was cut off by Bens scream.

She rushed out of her hut and found him on the ground next to the maze.

Dark veins covered his body and entire face.

Who's mouth were filled with some dark black liquid that almost made her gag.

-"Jeff! Get the serum!"

Newt had arrived and Jeff ran off to the med hut.

-"Ben what happened?"

She asked getting down on her knees next to him.

-"Grievers."

He groaned and coughed up that weird liquid.

She tipped him to the side and tried her best that he would lay still so he wouldn't block his own airway.

-"Where's Minho?"
-"Where did you get stung?"

Everyone were shouting over each other and Aria turned around.

-"Shut the fuck up and back off a bit! He's not right in his head right now and you all bloody well know he can't do anything!"

She screamed while pinning him down who by now we're trying to punch everyone.

His arms and legs twitched around all the time.

But Aria was stronger.

When Jeff arrived some seconds later he tried to get the syringe in, but Ben never was still.

-"Jeff hurry!"

She shouted not wanting to loose Ben.

-"How about you do it?"

He asked and Gally rushed forwards to pin Ben down.

She swallowed and took the syringe in her hand.

With no seconds thought she poked him.

He groaned one last time before his eyes rolled back making him completely still.

Aria quickly stood up and threw the syringe on the ground, on shah legs making her way to her hut.

She ignored everyone who tried to talk to her.

Because her eyes were ringing and her sight dizzy.

Her breathing getting faster and her legs giving up more for every second.

Two seconds later she dropped down on the ground and put a hand on her chest.

-"Help.."

She whispered weak not expecting anyone to hear.

But someone did, strong arms wrapping around her.

He started counting just as the boy had did. at her last panic attack at the lake.

When her breathing was steadier she turned around to find, Gally.
