"Glad you're okay, Zelia," Chuck said as the girl helped him get weapons from the Armory.
Because Minho told her that they are now entering the Maze. Thomas thinks they have found a way out. Not a good idea if you think about it because this is where the Grievers come in or out. They have nothing to lose if they try.
"Well, yeah. I thought it's my end, but I didn't expect what happened while I was unconscious," Zelia said, and she hid the knives in her pockets. "I'm thanking Alby because you're with us."
The girl smiled at Chuck, holding a six spear in his left hand while in his right hand were arrows and a crossbow. Zelia took a crossbow and some arrows—it had a holder and a long strap so it wouldn't be difficult to carry—and put it on her shoulder.
They didn't take the other weapons because Zelia had a strong feeling that someone would still be left in the Glade. Well, she teaches them how to defend themselves so they're going to survive if they don't intend to leave this place. They can't force the Gladers if they don't want to go.
"What do you think, knowing Thomas is your older brother?" Chuck asked and slung another bag over his shoulder for their friends. Only clothes and other necessities are placed in the bag.
"Happy, really. But this is not the time to celebrate. Even if I want to hug him right now, we still need to get out of this place," Zelia said and took the bags to help Chuck.
She first looked around the Armoury to see if they had forgotten anything. She will admit that she will miss this place, but they have to move on. She invited Chuck to go to the entrance of the Maze, where they will meet everyone.
"I'm happy for you that you reunited with your brother."
"Not unless he's the reason you all here, suffering. He did this just because of me."
"That doesn't mean it's all your fault. WICKED is still the reason we're here."
Zelia was unable to speak what Chuck told her. She really felt guilty for them. They were quiet until they reached their destination.
They saw that everyone was here. Teresa's hand was tied to the wood while Thomas was sprawled on the grass while Gally was telling them something. It's true that Gally took over this place.
"I don't wanna have to cross any more names off that wall," they heard Gally say while pointing to the wall where their name was written.
"You really think Banishing us is going to solve anything?" Teresa asked. Zelia couldn't determine if she was afraid for her and Thomas or if she was just good at hiding her emotions.
