AUDREY'S P.O.V.
We found Newt by the slammer. Him and Chuck were all kneeling outside of one of the cells. I peered through the door to see Teresa. I quickly ran over and kneeled down in between Chuck and Newt.
"Teresa!" I called as I ran. "What happened? Why are you in there?"
"Gally is in charge. He said Thomas and me are the cause of all of this and he is banishing is at Sun down." she explained and pointed to an unconscious Thomas who was laying on the ground.
"He can't do that!" Minho said. He was standing behind me looking down into the door.
"We had no choice but to put him in charge. He said join him or get punished at sundown and I don't want to go against those shuck face builders at this point." Chuck said bitterly.
"So you just agreed to this?" I asked looking at Newt. He nodded.
"There is nothing we can do. He managed to get the rest of the glade on board. He can make us do whatever he bloody wants because he has so much support." Newt said
I couldn't say anything else on the subject. I turned back to Teresa and Thomas.
"What happened to him?" I asked
"He got stung... Kinda." Chuck said
"What do you mean kinda?" I asked him.
"He took the needle Alby broke off the Griever and injected himself." Newt told me.
"He was being stupid." Chuck stated quietly.
"There had to be a reason for it. Wasn't there?" I asked looking around
"He told me He needed to remember before he did it. Hopefully when he wakes up he will." Teresa said
"If he doesn't then he is wasting our bloody time." Newt stated
"Then what do we do about Gally? We can't just let him take control and we can't have him banish them." Minho said pointing inside the cell.
"We just have to wait and see what Thomas remembers when he wakes up." Newt said.
"Isn't that What you said when Teresa was in her coma thing?" Minho asked
"Yeah. That was all we could do then and it's all we can do now." Newt replied
"But when she woke up she didn't know anything. Why are we taking our chances and wasting time?" Minho asked
"Hey!" Teresa said. He made it sound like it was her fault she couldn't remember anything.
"No offense" he muttered shrugging.
"Its all we can do Minho." Newt said.
We all sat on the ground and waited for Thomas to wake up.
