I was awoken by an unfamiliar voice. "Look at these two shanks, love birds." I heard a unfamiliar voice gag. I didn't bother opening my eyes, but I sure was awake.
"Shut up." I heard Newt groan. "You're gonna bloody wake her up!" I heard Newt whisper/yell. I pretended to sleep longer until I heard Thomas' voice.
"Well wake her up." He insisted. I immediate yet woke up and looked up at him in disbelief, lifting my head up off of Newt's chest.
"You guys are alive." I gaped at the two standing in front of the bed I laid on.
Hours later—days for all I knew—Chuck was there, shaking me awake.
Why do people keep interrupting my sleep?
It took several seconds for me to get my bearings and see straight. I focused in on Chuck, groaned. "Let me sleep, you shank."
"I thought you'd want to know."
I rubbed my eyes and yawned. "Know what?" I looked at Chuck again, confused by his big smile.
"He's alive," he said. "Alby's okay—the Serum worked." I almost forgot he got stung by a Griever in the maze.
My grogginess instantly washed away, replaced with relief—it surprised me how much joy the information brought. But then Chuck's next words made me reconsider.
"He just started the Changing."
As if brought on by the words, a blood-chilling scream erupted from a room down the hall.
