a total stranger, and they become so important
to you. And while you're only known them such a short time,
you feel you're loved them for a lifetime."

Madylin squinted against the harsh sunlight that burned her eyes a little more than usual. She could feel the heat of her skin and sweat starting to form faster than before. Her body felt achy and her movement felt sluggish as she shuffled through what was left of the Glade. The poison was spreading through her system, and it felt strange. It was a mistake leaving her hut, and now she felt the consequences. Only Gally knew about her exposure to the Griever sting, and she wanted to keep it that way by pretending everything was fine.
In the distance, Madylin could hear voices but couldn't make out what they were saying as she continued walking.
Her eyes scanned the field noticing how empty it looked. The usual sounds of boys chatting, shovels digging and wood being chopped, had been replaced with an uncomfortable silence. Everyone seemed to be gathered in groups or pairs; she was the only one alone.
Madylin was used to feeling alone in the Glade, but this was different. The tension in the air was palpable. She scanned the faces, searching for a familiar one. She needed to find Newt.
She turned her gaze toward where the makeshift jail was, remembering that Thomas had been locked up, and wondered if Newt would be there with him.
As she approached, she heard snippets of conversation that made her heart sink.
"Gally said we had a choice, we either join him or get banished at sundown with you," explained Newt.
"Hopefully you stinging yourself made it all worth it," Minho remarked.
A knot formed in Madylin's stomach. Why hadn't Gally told her about this? Thomas had also been stung? Had they already used the serum on him? If so, then she was as good as dead.
"Hey," she mustered the courage to speak up, making herself known. Chuck, Newt, Thomas, and Minho turned at the sound of the now-conscious girl's voice. Newt's face showed a flicker of surprise before softening into a relieved smile.
Minho immediately got up from his knees and hugged her tightly. Madylin stiffened for a moment, unable to fully enjoy the warmth of his embrace when she knew she may not have much time left. Though she still closed her eyes in an attempt, before pulling away with a half smile.
