Lightning

Banished

Newt's POV: (A/N bet you didn't expect that.)

(Y/N) was singing a song and at one point looked at me and I got what she meant by the lyrics and I glared at her back, did she have to be this obvious. After it ended I turned to the Greenie and handed him the drink.

"Bit of a first day Greenie. Here, put some hair on ya chest." I said, why did I say that, ugh. He took the drink and sipped it the spat it out making me laugh.

"Ugh what is that?" He asked.

"I don't even know, it's Gally's recipe. It's a trained secret." I said.

"Yeah, well he's still a jerk." Greenie said.

"He saved your life today. Trust me, the maze is a dangerous place." I said thinking of when I was a Runner way back when.

"We're trapped here aren't we?" He asked.

"For the moment. Well, you see those guys." I said pointing over at the Runners. "There by the fire, those are the Runners. And that guy in the middle, talking to (Y/N) is Minho. He's the keeper of the Runners, every morning when those doors open they run the maze. Mapping it, memorizing it, trying to find a way out." I said but then caught eyes with (Y/N) and she wiggled her eyes at me and I glared while sticking my tongue out and turned back to Greenie blushing a bit more.

"How long have they been looking?" He asked and I shrugged.

"Three years."

"And they haven't found anything?" He asked and I shook my head.

"A lot easier said than done, listen. Hear that, it's the maze, changing. It changes every night."

"How's that even possible?"

"You can ask the people who put us here if you ever get out. Now listen, the truth is the Runners are the only ones who really know what's out there. Their the strongest and the fastest of us all and that's a good thing, because if they don't make it back before those doors close then their stuck out there for the night. And no one's ever survived a night in the maze. Well except for (Y/N), but that was a while ago." I said taking a drink.

"What happens to them?" Greenie asked.

"Well we call um Grievers, of course no one's ever seen one and lived to tell besides (Y/N). But they're out there. Alright well that's enough questions for one night. Listen you're supposed to be the guest of honour." I said as I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Well uh-."

"No, no c'mon, let me show you around. C'mon." I said as we stood up and started to walk around.

(Y/N)'s POV:

Gally started up his fight circle and I walked over to see who he was going to beat. Him and one of the guys were wrestling when they ran into the Greenie and the guy walked off.

"Wadaya say Greenie, show us what you're made of." Gally said.

"Greenie, Greenie, Greenie, Greenie, Greenie, Greenie, Greenie, Greenie, Greenie, Greenie." The boys chanted and he stepped forward and everyone crowded around.

"Ok, alright the rules are simple Greenie, I try to push you out of the circle, you try to last more than five seconds." Gally said as they walked around the circle as people laughed. Gally ran forward and shoved the Greenie and then tripped him making him fall. "C'mon Greenie, were not done yet."

"Stop calling me Greenie." He said standing up and the boys oooo'd and I laughed.

"Stop calling you that, what do you want to be called, Shank? What'd you think boys, does he look like a shank." Gally said and I laughed a little. Greenie ran at Gally and they wrestled for a second before he was thrown to the ground. I looked at Newt, who was right next to me and saw him clench his fist a little.
