Keep Your Watch (the maze runner/Thomas Fanfiction) *DISCONTINUED*

2. No Escape

"So this place, it's called the glade. All the people in here are called gladers. As you must've already noticed most of them are guys, you're the first ever girl that came up that box."
Alby explained as I glanced around the whole ground, they call the glade.
"Okay, so every month another boy comes up that box alongside food stock and other things, right?"
I asked to just clarify it.
"Yes, you're right." He smiled down.
"But Why can't I remember anything?"
"That problem is faced by everyone that comes up that thing. You're gonna remember your name."
"Hey alby! A little help here?!" Gally, the guy that pulled me up the box shouted.
He was working with wood and a thick wooden stick with a grey thing on its front.
"I have to go now, newt will show you off the jobs that you can choose from here."
I nodded.
Newt, who stood in front of me, signaled me to come along and I did.
He first took me to the place where Gally was.
"These are the builders, they build things like ladders, chairs' you name it."
I nodded not really finding the job that amusing,
"That's where all the animals are raised."
He pointed to the sheeps, goats and other animals in a barricade.
He showed me other jobs like cooking, farming, and many others.
At last, it was time for me to decide.
We stood inside a shed and he looked at me with a determined face, which made me a little uncomfortable.
I opened my mouth to decide on one of them.
My eyes averted and landed on a few guys standing in front of the path leading to the maze.
One of them went inside.
Strange.
I walked towards them, ignoring newt, who was continuously calling out for me.
"Who are they?" I asked leaning beside a tree close to the path. Newt jogged to keep up with me.
"They're the runners."
My eyes were fixed upon the guy who was instructing all of the other runners.
"And who's that?" I pointed at the guy.
He sighed. "That's Minho. The leader of the runners."
"What do the runners do?"
"Runners are the only ones to go out into the Maze. They are the strongest and fastest Gladers. Runners map the maze, and the maps they make are saved in the Map Room. They leave when the doors open, and return right before they close."
Newt explained.
All the runners went inside the maze.
My eyes were still fixed on Minho, who for a second, met my eyes, but soon averted them and ran into the maze.
You have to become a runner! You need to get inside that maze!
The same voice from earlier today repeated in my brain. I tried not to show any sign of discomfort and did as it said.
"I wanna be a runner!" I exclaimed.
"It isn't that easy. You need to be physically fit and fast too."
"I am. I can prove it." I just babbled anything that came in my mind without knowing the consequences that I could face from that one single sentence.
"Very well. I'll talk to alby"

ONE MONTH LATER
***********************
"Everybody ready?" Minho shouted.
I stood in front of the path that led into the maze.
Yes!
I finally became a runner. There was a short competition type of thing in which we and run around the glade and the first to come back to the finish line was going to be a runner.
I won that challenge. Although Minho wasn't very happy with that, I don't know why.
He's the only guy in the glade that doesn't really find my jokes amusing.
He doesn't even talk to me, to be more specific.
I was pulled out of my thought by the alarm near the place from where the box comes up, started to ring.
A new greenie.
Everybody went over to circle around the place.
But I decided to stick around the apple tree near the entrance of the maze.
Gally opened the roof and jumped into the box to grab in the new greenie.
A minute passed, and no one came out.
But then suddenly the new guy climbed out of the box and glanced around the surroundings.
I understood how he must've been feeling.
I steadied myself for anything could happen. The greenie started running towards me, or should I say the entrance of the maze.
I sprinted towards him in order to stop him from freaking out.
He fell to his knees.
The others started chuckling and muttering things.
"Hey! stop that!" I yelled at them.
How could they be so emotionless. I mean, they all have passed this stage. They must feel how he feels.
I bent down over to the guy and looked directly into his eyes.
"Hey it's okay! Calm down" I whispered but stopped once I found his face identical to the one I saw in the dream or memory thing.
The guy I was working with, until I was dragged of by those men.
Not soon after that he fainted.
Oh great.
"A little help here newt? Or anyone to be more specific!" I yelled over to them.
