Her Anchor || Newt - Maze Runner

Part 31 - Filled With Lies

Question of the post: how do we feel about the hellhound/werewolf and their like powers and transformation? 
recently I've been cringed out by them so I want your guys opinion.

The Grievers disappeared into the night, leaving behind a destroyed Glade. Fire was everywhere as Gladers bodies littered the once green grass. Smoke filled the sky as we still heard the occasionally Glader scream. Everything we have grown to love and live in was gone in ashes.

'Where is everybody?' a Glader asked behind me

'Who's that over there?' someone asked as we all turned our heads. The group of boys started marching towards us, stomping. It was the builders, Gally in front. The Keeper kept on marching before swinging at Thomas, landing square in his jaw. 

The Gladers fell into chaos again as half helped Thomas up while half held Gally back.

'This is all you, Thomas. Huh? Look around.' Gally spat

'Back off, Gally. It's not Thomas' fault' Minho defended

'You heard what Alby said. He's one of them.'

'One of who?' asked a random Glader

'He's one of them and they sent him here to destroy everything and now he has.' Gally replied, fists balled up, ready to attack again 'Look around Thomas. Look around. This is your fault.'

'Hey, back off, Gally.' Fry protected. I peered over at Thomas, observing the clogs in his mind racing. The group of boys kept arguing at Gally while Thomas grabbed the stinger from Chucks grasp, holding it tightly in his clutch.

'Maybe he's right.' whispered softly Thomas. realization filling his voice

'Thomas?' I asked quietly

'I need to remember.' he said looking at me

'Thomas, don't!' I screamed. With that Thomas swung the stinger down, puncturing his leg. The boy screamed in pain as Teresa, Chuck and I all rushed to his side. The other Gladers rushed towards Thomas leaving Gally unrestrained and baffled. Thomas fell down, hands still gripping the needle, shaking violently.

'Chuck get the other syringe.' Teresa ordered

'Thomas?' Newt asked, kneeling at his side

'Hey Thomas, wake up. MedJacks!' barked Newt. Jeff came running as I kept checking his vitals. 

'Someone helps me hoist him up!' yelled Jeff, as him and I grabbed one arm and Newt and Ace got a leg each.

'Why are you helping him? They did this to your Glade.' Gally yelled over the commotion, silencing the Glade, pointing at Thomas and Teresa. 'Look around. If they weren't here, none of this would have happened. Even Alby said so.' You could feel the Gladers consciousness shift as Galy brought up the deceased leader's name. You could feel the fear and anger slowly boiling up in the Gladers' body.

'That isn't true.' Newt said

'Back off Gally. This isn't their fault.' Minho added

'Really then how come the Glade was fine before they showed up?' Gally rebutted

'Gally shut the shuck up already.' I yelled

'It wasn't there fault.' Ace pointed out

'Shut up Ace, you have barely been here for three weeks, you can't be saying klunk.' snapped the builder

'Now! you three' Gally said pointing behind to his loyal builders. 'Take the two of them to the Slammer.' The builders went up behind the unconscious Thomas and the resisting Teresa.

'Seriously Gally. What is your problem man, they didn't do anything.' Minho asked, his voice rough with anger

'Maybe he's right.' said a Glader I didn't know 'Everything did go wrong the minute she showed up.' We looked through the sea Gladers, all of them fidgeting nervously as I felt Gally's manipulation fill them with fear. The group of us knew there was no point fighting right now.

'Fine.' And with that we all walked off, deciding that it would be better to fight with Gally once we had a plan and was rested, but I felt a heavy tension weighing in the air. We all walked into the forest, there was no point going to Homestead as it was ow a pile of ashes. I looked desperately around the forest for any sign that my hut was still standing. Finally, we walked to the clearing where my hut was, tears filled my eyes as my hut was left untouched. The seven of us walked in and started setting up camp of the floor

'Fuck this.' said Ace

'I agree, like why the hell does Gally think he is in charge. Newt is still second in command.' I commented

'There is no point fighting, we have to get more people on our side first.' Frypan mentioned

'I agree with Fry.' Newt admitted

'Ok, let's go to sleep, we will discuss in the morning, hopefully by then Thomas will be woken up and remember something.' The group of us all lied now in a line on my bedroom floor, as I slept closest to the window, wanting to be isolated and alone, or how alone I could be right now. Something inside me knew that this would be the last peaceful night of my life.
