The Glader Girls

13 // Monroe

Monroe's POV

Me, Minho, Nightingale and Thomas ran towards the Homestead where everyone was gathered apart from a few.

"Alby what's happening?!" I asked worried whilst huddled with the others.

"What's do you think is happening! The doors aren't closing! Minho, Monroe go get as many weapons as you can carry. Everyone else make sure the Homestead is sealed. Newt, go and get the rest. I'm going to get the map's" Alby ran off towards the map room as everyone else got to work on he homestead. Minho grabbed my hand and we ran off to where the weapons where kept.

"Come on take these" Minho lifts weapons of all sorts into my arms. Suddenly Minho grabs onto my shoulders and looks at me right in the eyes.

"You have to promise me that you won't do anything stupid okay?" Minho asks me quietly.

"I promise" Minho nods slightly and runs off slightly ahead of me with all the weapons apart from a machete I was carrying. That was when it hit me. I forgot it. I forgot my necklace the one that my mum gave me. I know I promised Minho I wouldn't do anything stupid but he would understand. I had to. I had to get it. I slowed down slightly as Minho carried in sprinting, and then as quickly as I could I bolted it towards my cabin. I stripped the bed frantically trying to find it.

"Where is it" I mumbled in annoyance as I was opening all my drawers. Until I found it lying on the floor. I picked it up and ran towards the door. I was about to open the door when I heard the quiet squealing of a greiver nearby. I had no other option so I locked the door and hid under the bed. The squealing slowly went quiet as the greiver went away. I sighed in relief and started to pull my self up. BANG!!!!!!! The greiver came back and was using its body weight to knock down the door..... and succeeded. I stayed deadly still hoping that it would go away. Suddenly I was dragged out by my feet and I was faced with a greiver. I was screaming bloody murder and kept slashing the machete in front of my face trying to keep the grevier away from me. Quickly the greiver brought up one of its many sharp legs and it comes into contact with my leg and then slowly pulls out. I can hear someone else screaming off in the distance and a loud squeal. Then for some strange reason the greiver just ran out the cabin. I forced myself to my feet and sat on my bed. Getting one of my shirts and tied it round my wound as much as I could to help stop the bleeding. Then I just sat there and waited for someone to come, and of course I had to pass out. Pass out from the pain.

I woke up to someone shaking me and saw Nightingale hovering over me.

"Monroe! Are you okay?! I will get you medjack wait there!" Nightingale ran towards the door.

"Wait what happened last night?" I asked.

"Um Gally came in shouting how we were all going to die one by one and then jumped into the greivers." Gally was gone. The one who I hated and liked at the same time. He was gone. Of course to top it all off Minho decided to walk in with an angry expression plastered onto his face.

"Night leave. Now" Minho said in a stern voice. Night didn't even bother to argue knowing that shit was about to go down and left as quickly as possible. I pulled the duvet closer to my face trying to hide myself as much as possible, not that it would do much help anyway.

"I told you not to. So why IN HELL WOULD YOU GO OFF LIKE THAT" Minho yelled.

"I c-couldn't leave it behind." I whispered, stuttering out of fear. I had never seen Minho like this before and I was so scared he might do something.

"So it was so important you had to risk your life for it, get hurt and scare me half to death?!" Minho came closer and was so angry I flinched back suddenly.

"It's part of the only memory I have left" I say more confidently now.

"How long have you been able to remember this memory?" Minho asked curious.

"Couple of days"

"And you didn't think to tell me?!" Minho shouted once again.

"STOP BEING SUCH A DRAMA QUEEN AND WANTING TO KNOW MY EVERY MOVE! Just get out.." My temper was short and Minho kept testing me. He got up and left without a single hesitation. Night and Cleopa came running in right after Minho left.

"We heard everything. Are you okay?" Asked Cleopa stroking my head comfortingly.

"You're meant to be the baby of the glade yet you act like the mother" I say chuckling. It was true though if there was ever a problem her and Newt would be there helping out. Cleopa giggled at my statement.

"Well the runners are still going in today I think and everyone else is helping put everything up." As Nightingale says this I stand up wincing in pain trying not to cry out. Cleopa and Night push me straight back down onto the bed telling me that I was to stay there all day. Guess a short rest wouldn't hurt.
