The next day, after the amazing event, a gathering was called. About Percy.
"Why did you call a bloody gathering Newt? What did Greenie do wrong?" Alby asked.
"It's not what he did wrong" Newt said.
"It's what happened wrong" Winston commented.
"So then what bloody happened wrong?!" Gally said, impatient.
"Winston, you were there, talk." Alby demanded.
"Well, greenie over here decided to shucking cut his finger with a knife on the second day! So, we went over to go to the med-jacks to get a bandage, and when Newbie wasn't looking he face planted in a giant water puddle!" Percy heard some laughs, but Winston continued, "when he landed in the water puddle, of course it turned red from blood. But then, almost as if it reversed, it went back into his cut and skin started forming over his cut, until it was completely healed, like it had never been touched."
"Percy, in your memories," Thomas said, "did you have any dreams about water, about something special in your past?"
"Well, I remember a long, well, trident. This trident was special, and it held great power." Percy remembered from one of his dreams.
"That's it?" Gally asked.
"Yep" Percy replied awkwardly.
"Well, shank, if theirs one thing I remember about life, it's that you don't get hurt, fall in water, and get healed. Your not like the others Percy. Your, different. You've got something. And I want to know what that something is. I say, we do a little experimenting" Gally said. Percy was speechless. He was at a loss for words. His mind was blank.
"Gally, what exactly kind of 'experiment' are you planning exactly?" Newt said.
"Well, first, we hurt Per—"
"How exactly are you going to hurt me?" Percy interrupted.
"Well, as I was saying, we hurt the shank, who can take the pain for a minute, and then, we put the spot that he got hurt in water so we can see this healing for ourselves."
"Sounds Good" Alby said, "everybody in?" Everyone in the room raised there hand. Oh great Percy thought. "Gathering concluded."

     Percy, Minho, Newt, and all the other Keepers traveled to the weapon room to hurt Percy. They entered the room and climbed down the ladder. Minho grabbed a knife and flipped it two Newt, who caught it flawlessly on the grip.
"Alright, come here Greenie, time for you too get cut!" Newt announced.
"Oh great" Percy said. Percy walked over to where Newt was standing.
"Hold out your wrist." Percy did as he was asked, but he was scared. Newt took the knife and slashed it across his wrist, making blood spew everywhere. It hurt Percy, but he knew the plain wouldn't last long. Minho went over to the corner of the room and grabbed a bowl of water and set it on a table close to Percy. Everyone watched as he took his pained wrist and dipped it in the water. The same thing happened, and all the Keepers looked at him in astonishment.
"It's true" Gally said. "Do you guys have  any idea what this could mean for us? As long as this shank has a bottle of water with him, he can heal any of his own cuts. He's close to being immune." All the Gladers looked at him. Not with fear, not with anger, not with madness, not with sadness, but with honor.
