Hey! Above is what Audrey's outfit looks like.
NEWT'S P.O.V.
The new greenie and I sat against a log staring at one of the walls.
"How was your first day greenie?" I asked and all he did was look down.
"Here" I said handing him my jar of Gally's drink "put some hair on your chest."
As soon as the liquid touched his lips he began to cough and spit it out.
"What is that?" he asked
"I don't even know, " I said turning to look at Gally. He was wrestling with some kid behind us. "Its Gally's recipe. A trained secret."
"Yeah well he's still an asshole."
"He saved your life today." I said recalling the incident with him by the maze entrance. "Trust me the maze is a dangerous place."
"We're trapped here. Aren't we?" greenie asked.
"For the moment, but" I turned to look over the log. "You see those guys over there? Those are the runners. Every morning when those doors open, they run the maze. Mapping it. Memorizing it, trying to find a way out."
"How long have they been looking?" he asked
"Two years" I replied
"And they haven't found anything?" he asked
"It's a lot easier said than done." I said "listen." I held up one finger and listened to the grinding of metal against the ground coming from within the maze.
"Hear that? That's the maze. Changing." I told him "changes every night." I informed casually
"Is that even possible?" he asked
"You can ask the people who put us in here if you ever meet the bastards." I joked, "listen the truth is the runners are the only people who really know what's out there. They're the strongest and the fastest of us all and it's a good thing because if they don't make it back before those doors close they are stuck out there for the night. And no one's ever survived a night in the maze." I looked at the drink in my hands and took a long sip of the burning fluid.
"What happens to them?" greenie asked
"Well we call 'em grievers. Of course no one's ever seen one and lived to tell about it. But they're out there." a few seconds went by and I decided to lighten up the mood. "Alright well, that's enough questions for the night, you're supposed to be the guest of honor." he tried protesting but I insisted. "No, no, let me show you around."
We walked past the builders who were all wrestling.
"Those are the builders. They're very good with their hands but they're not so locked down upstairs." I tapped my temple.
We then passed the slicers. "And we got Winston. He's the keeper of the slicers." And that's when Clint and Jeff walked past.
"And we got two medjacks, Clint and Jeff!" they greeted us and walked away. "They spend most of their time bandaging up the slicers."
As I finished my sentence I heard a laugh come from above. I craned my neck to see Audrey. She was sitting on a platform just above us. It looked like her and Minho were trying to dump each other's bottles of water on the other.
"Have you met my sister?" I asked
"Sister?" I took that as a no.
"AUDREY!" I called
The greenie had looked in the direction I was and saw her. Audrey tried one more time to dump her water over Minho's head but missed. She threw her empty bottle at him and began to swing on the ropes that dangled down from the platform. She then jumped down and landed smoothly right in front of us.
"What's up?" she asked
"I wanted to introduce the keeper of the climbers to the new green bean. Greenie meet Audrey, the best climber of them all." I said
"Well aren't you a little biased?" she asked sarcastically shaking the greenies hand.
"I guess so." i laughed
"Hey Audrey I want a rematch!" we heard Minho call from above.
"Hey Aud," he yelled.
She looked up and was met with a splash if water. "I'm going to kill you!" She screamed and began to climb to get her revenge.
"Be careful!" I yelled at her as she ran a little too fast across a plank bridge.
"Always!" she yelled back.
"Sister?" greenie asked
"Yeah the only girl in the whole glade." I said and we continued on our way.
I noticed him staring at something and I stopped. "What are you looking at?"
It took him a moment but he finally answered with a question. "What if I want to be a runner?"
"No one wants to be a runner." I told him, "and besides you have to be chosen."
"Chosen by who?"
