I drift off into a peaceful sleep. The hopes of finally getting out of here still fresh in my mind.
My eyes flutter open to the sound of Alex crying. I yawn, sitting up and walking over to the cot. I scoop Alex into my arms and look over at Minho, who was staring at me. "What?" I croak, blushing.
"Babe, you are literally just in your underwear. Why wouldn't I be looking?" He smirks.
I roll my eyes, "Boys." And walk over to the wardrobe, opening it with my spare hand. I pull out a green crop top (not too cropped) and some black high- waisted shorts. "Turn around." I laugh, laying Alex on the bed - his head resting on my pillow.
Minho does as he is told, and turns around. I change my underwear and put on the clothes I got out. In the corner of the room lies the runners pack, should I wear it? Nah. I lace up my trainers and pick up Alex.
"Okay, I'm done." Minho turns around, getting up and selecting some clothes. Not caring that I'm in the room. I blush and look away as he takes off his boxers. I feed Alex whilst he gets changed.
"Why are you blushing?" Minho smirks, lifting up my chin to face him. Luckily he is dressed.
"I'm not." I blush an even brighter red.
Minho laughs, "Lets go."
I nod, standing up and going through the door, Minho right behind me.
We eat breakfast, and I say goodbye to Minho - who runs into the maze. I give Thomas some bread and water to eat, soon leaving.
Me and Newt continue to analyse the map sections, whilst Alex giggles and scribbles on a notebook, oops? Nothing else comes up apart from the 6 words.
Minutes turned into hours, and soon Minho was back. "Hey babe." He smirks, "Have you found any new words?"
"Nope." I smile, pecking him on the cheek, "Anything new in the Maze?"
"The Grievers, they go through a hole in the cliff." He explains, "I followed the slime marks and it took me to the cliff, where the marks ended at the edge. So, I threw a few rocks and they disappeared into a hole, that is barely noticeable. It might be our way out."
"That's... great? But how will we take everyone? Gally is convincing them that this is our permanent home."
"I've got an idea." Minho says, "lets go tell Newt."
I take him back to Newt and Alex, to find them both laying on the maps, Alex sat on Newt's stomach. "Who's a clever baby! Yes it's you!" Newt coos, Alex mumbles some gibberish in reply. Minho laughs, catching Newts attention. Newt clears his throat, placing Alex down and sitting up, pretending to analyse maps.
"We saw you, cuddlebug. It's fine, he likes you!" I smile.
Newt grins, a faint blush on his cheeks, "Anything new?"
Minho tells him about the griever hole, whilst I breastfeed Alex in another room. When he is finished, I adjust my t-shirt and sit down on the floor, next to Newt and Minho.
"So, what's the plan?" I ask.
Minho clears his throat, Newt rolls his eyes,"So, we will pretend Thomas is still unconscious and that we are on Gally's side, we will get Frypan and Chuck to gather weapons and food and stand back in the distance, away from sight. Then, Thomas can jump up and hit the guys that are dragging him, for his banishment, and we will all run forwards, throw a weapon to Thomas and convince everyone to join us." Minho explains.
Alex snores loudly, making me stare down at him and laugh. "Uh... Minho."
"Yeah." He winks.
I blush, "Say everything again because I wasn't listening." Newt laughs.
Minho rolls his eyes, "Seriously!" He sighs, "So, we will preten-"
"Okay! Okay, I was listening." I grin.
Newt smirks, shaking his head, "Thomas is being banished in an hour, we might want to go and tell Chuck, Thomas and Frypan."
"Okay, c'mon then." Minho smirks, jerking Newt into his feet.
"I'll go and get some things ready then." I say, walking out and to the homestead. I see Newt and Minho approach Chuck, I laugh, walking up the stairs and to the room.
I pack a few things into the runners pack: toiletries, Alex's blanket, Alex's rattle, a couple of nappies, a dummy (a pacifier) for Alex, Minho's hair gel. I laugh as I put this in, he can't live without that.
I pick up the flower crowns, carefully looping mine around my wrist, and Alex's onto his wrist. I frown, aren't they supposed to have died by now? Never mind, I dismiss the thought, tugging on a hoodie and the runners pack. I pull my hair into a high ponytail and put some spare hair ties on my wrist. I change Alex's nappy and wrap him in a baby blue blanket. I secure a machete and some knives into my belt loops and my runners pack. I nod, feeling satisfied with my packing and leave the room, carefully shutting the door.
My hand lingers on the doorhandle, feeling sad to leave this room that was full of memories, as wrong as that sounds. I head out of the homestead, bumping into Gally. "What the hell! Mind out, shank."
I raise my hand and slap him across the face, "Dont ever talk to me like that again, you bitch." I spit.
"What the fuck? You slut, how dare you talk to me like that! I will make you my slave," I move my hand down to my knife, I could need this. "and you will regret the day you wer-" Gally is cut short, as I punch him in the nose. He staggers backwards, growling.
He starts to storm towards me, I squeak out in terror as he pulls back his fist. I duck as he swings at me, tightening my grip around Alex. He misses, falling forwards lamely. I laugh, kicking his ass, as he face plants into the floor. He starts to get up, so I kick him in the ribs, "Never mess with a mother, shuckface."
I turn around, running over to Newt and Minho, watching me in amusement. "Hey!" I smile.
"You kicked Gally's ass so bad!" Newt chuckles.
"That's my girl." Minho smirks, wrapping his arms around me. I see Newt roll his eyes.
I laugh, "Does Thomas, Chuck and Frypan know about the plan?"
