Wendy stepped outside, everyone following her as the sky darkened drastically. She grabbed a torch from a stand and held it up, her eyes darting around as multiple Gladers ran across the clearing.

"The doors aren't closing!" Winston called as he bustled around, and Wendy looked behind her to see worry strike everyone's faces. They watched shockingly as many boys ran towards all of the walls, trying to figure out was going on as well. Soon, Wendy took off too, and she felt many fall into line with her until they all reached the still open doors.

Wendy looked around until a loud bang rumbled throughout the entire Glade. They all ducked, covering their ears as they snapped their heads towards the noise and saw that one of the already closed doors was now reopening.

"Oh my god." she breathed out as another door opened, and then the third one, and now, all four weren't closed.

"Chuck," Thomas began, and everyone turned towards them, "go to the council hall, okay, start barricading the doors."

"Winston, you go with him." Newt ordered as well.

"Got it!" he replied and slapped his shoulder before taking off with the boy.

"Dan, tell everyone to go to the forest and hide!" Gally said next, and Wendy jumped in.

"Make sure to climb the trees, as high as possible." she included, and he nodded and then took off.

Thomas soon moved over to Minho, "Gather all the weapons you can, meet you at council hall."

Minho nodded and looked over at Wendy, and the girl didn't care if he despised her; she launched into him and wrapped her arms around his chest and hugged him. "Stay safe, alright?" she told him before pulling away, and she saw him take in a deep breath.

"You too." he confirmed. Wendy nodded and soon moved onto Newt, grabbing his shirt and pulling him to her in one swift motion and kissing him roughly.

She pulled away a second after. "Don't get hurt alright, I'll see you soon." she whispered, feeling Minho's eyes burn into her as she bid him goodbye. He sent her a small smile before taking off, Frypan following him along with Minho and two others.

"Teresa, we're gonna go get, Alby—" Thomas continued.

Their conversation was soon interrupted as many screams echoed across the glade, and the people still around them turned their heads and saw people by the west door running away from the open gap.

"Go back!" they screamed, "Go back!"

And that's when they heard the Grievers.

"Bloody hell!" Wendy screamed as one came into view right by the door they were at, "Everybody hide!"

Wendy took off along with everyone else, her machete now pulled out and in her right hand as she ran away towards their field of corn.
