Game of the Labyrinth: Rebellion

Chapter 1: Michael

We've spent a week at the glader camp so far, we've learned about their passed, about the maze and about Teresa who was missing ever since they got to the scorch.
A guy named Newt runs the place with Thomas and Minho, there's the gladers then there's the ones who live here, like Brenda, Jeorge and some of their friends. They put Steph and I in a tent together with Oriel and Bryson. There's a lot of space for all of us so they use some of it's extra space for storage. Steph doesn't talk much with Oriel they seem to be mad at each other. When the time comes around the'll be friends again.
"Hey Michael!" Newt limps over to me while I munch on some dried meat at a picnic table.

"Hi Newt," I say with a smile in his direction.

"We've started training for the attack, it's gotta happen eventually so we've got our best fighters training and getting weapons ready for us," he said looking over at Thomas who just entered the weapons shed, "we make our way in two weeks then attack the day after arrival" Newt explains further.

"Do we have any inside eyes in the Capitol?" I question

"Not yet but Aris and Brenda are working a the radio see if we can communicate with someone in the districts," he sighs.

"Well wish them good luck for me," I smile and walk towards Steph who is duelling with a guy from the scorch named Corsan. They both have spears and the battle is intriguing. Corsan attacks her side but Steph blocks it and swings her leg under her opponent while he's in deep concentration and he collapses. He lets out a laugh as Steph helps him up.

"Same time tomorrow?" Steph asks as he dusts of his pants

"Why not but tomorrow I'll beat your sorry butt" he laughs and leaves the spear on it's rack by the shed.

"Can we duel?" I ask Steph with an eyebrow raised.

"Are you okay with failure?" She replies.

"Lets do this," I pick up a spear and stand ready to start. She goes first she comes from above but I block it instantly. Sending her on her knee. Soon she kicks her foot up knocking the spear right out of my hand. It lands six feet away from where Steph stands, so she does a cartwheel and lands right beside it. Picking it up putting it back on the rack along with hers .

"I totally won that," she said

"I wouldn't say otherwise," I take her hand, "do you know what?" I ask her smiling.

"What?" she asks grabbing my other hand and smiling.

"It's only four months 'til Christmas" I said smiling.

"Gee I hope we have A white Christmas here, I'm not sure with all the sand," she says sarcastically.

"I love you, Steph" I say then kiss her forehead. She smiles and wraps her arms around my neck.
