I only trust him and no body else. I may be your friend but he'll be the first person I talk to.
The next day the keepers and leaders all met in a large room in homestead while Raven took a shower. Alby had called the Gathering to talk about her because he didn't know what to do about what she had said last night I wanna know if I'm gonna be here without killing myself. Once everyone arrived they took their seats. "Ok so what's the problem?" Gally said looking at Alby and Newt. "Raven is already talking about killing herself and I dont know if it's that we aren't welcoming her well or if it something else." They all whispered and looked at each other. Someone spoke up. "How do you know it's not just nerves or something?" "No one has ever talked about that on their second day that's what's worrying me."
A boy, who was Asian, very muscular and had short black hair stood up. "I haven't even met the girl." Everyone looked at him. "Well Minho you can meet her today but still..." Newt said. "Maybe you can need to give her time to cope with this situation. She lost her memory shes in a place with only boys I think you shanks are just rushing her." Minho crossed him arms as Alby nodded. Before they could get another word out the door swung open. There stood a girl with hair down to her mid back and big blueish green eyes. "I tried to stop her Alby." Alby ushered the boy that it was fine. "How'd you know we were in here?" "Its hard to ask that question when there's a bunch of guys who can talk." She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.
"So why is this secret meeting about me?" "Its not a secret." Raven moved her hair to one side and looked down. Newt watched as she did this. The way she stood, her body language, and how her eyes wandered. "You think the way I'm acted is y'alls fault?" She looked up, her eyes big and seemed as if she was staring into the souls of the boys. They looked down disappointingly. "Well it's not so don't think that. Yall doin' great welcoming the first girl here." She smiled then walked out of the room. Minho smirked as well as Gally and some of the other boys. "See told you shes a good one." Minho got up and walked to the door after saying that. "What do you mean by that?" Alby asked. "Shes cute and I know these shanks think so too." He smirked then walked out.
"Well that's settled. Yall can go on back to work." Alby said dismissing the boys. Everyone left out. Raven was up working on the Slicers that came in for cuts. She always smiled once she was done with her patient and told them to be careful next time especially if it was a pretty deep cut. The good thing about this job was that she had the chance to leave whenever she wanted to explore the Glade because she didn't have a line of people who needed help. It was time for everyone to take a break so Raven decided to go to the Deadheads. She climbed a tree. Even though there wasn't much to see except for maybe a small graveyard and other trees, she had a pretty good view of the sky from here.
She sat there peacefully eating her sandwich. After awhile she felt droplets on her head. Looking up it began to rain. Hard to the point her hair got soaked in seconds she didn't mind it though. She just said there as if nothing was happening. Looked at the sky as if it was still sunny. Outside the deadheads everyone was inside homestead, standing inside the kitchen, or still working. "Wheres Raven?" Alby asked walking up to Newt. "I don't know she was in homestead." Alby looked at him confused. "Well she ain't there. What if she went into the maze." "She didn't go into the maze she wouldnt."
"How you know that?" Newt looked at him. "I seen her face when we told her about it she ain't gonna go in there." "Tell Gally to go find her." Newt nodded then headed to go tell Gally to go look for her. "What if she doesn't come back or in the maze?"
"Well I dont bloody know how bout you go look in the Deadheads then we'll find out." Gally got up and ran the the Deadheads. He called her name but there was no answer. Raven could here him but she didn't bother answering. He finally found her sitting as if nothing was happening. Her feet dangling over the edge."Hey Raven why are you up there." She looked down at him. "Cause I can be." "Its raining pretty hard I think you need shelter." She looked back up and rolled her eyes. "I'm fine ok just leave me alone." Gally shook his head. "Come on just talk to me."
"The only person I'll talk to is Newt and he's probably the only person that will get me down." She folded her arms and leaned her back against the tree. "Fine I'll go get him then." And with that Gally went and got Newt. After awhile a boy with an English accent started calling out her name.The tree began to shake and before she knew the boy was sitting next to her. "Why are you up here?" Newt asked looking at her. "Just came to think." She looked up into the distance where only rain fell. "Whatcha thinking about?"
"Not really much to think about when you can't remember nothin' but the future I guess." He looked down at their dangling feet. "What's so special about the future?" "You dont know what it holds. Like will we always be here or will we find a way out this place ya know." She looked at him. "I'm just scared. Maybe. I know I'll get used to being here but what about our lives. Will they always be living inside walls? I probably sound crazy knowing it's my 3rd day here." She looked down and chuckled. He placed his hand on hers and looked at her. "You dont sound crazy. We all think about that stuff here. We've been here for 2 years and people still bloody crying about it. And dont be afraid You Got Me." He smiled which made Raven smile. "Come on let's go back." He started climbing down the tree. Once he hit the ground Raven came down after. Newt helped her down by picking her up bridal style off the tree then places her safely on the ground.The rain had stopped when they got back. Alby had gave each of them a towel. "Please dont run off like that." Raven looked down "I'm sorry."
"Its fine we just thought you ran into the maze. How bout you go get some sleep." Alby said walking away from Newt and Raven. "Dont worry about him he is just paranoid at times." Raven pulled her hair into a loose bun "yea i can see that." She said chuckling.Out of everyone in the glade Newt was her favorite. He made her happy in a way. Welcome. He understood her feelings. He made her feel as if this life would be normal. Love. But in her gut she knew something was gonna change. Something was going to tear this world down. She knew she would be apart of it in the end.
