❛❛he belongs in the maze now ❜❜
————————————————
After what happened with Ben and Thomas, the Keepers called for the Gathering immediately. Everyone else knew where this was going.
The Keepers have decided to have Ben banished, it was no surprise at all for Poe because everyone already saw this coming before the Keepers announced it. They had gathered together by the Doors just moments before closing time.
It's been only a month since the last banishment, Newt mentioned once that they only had few banishments the last three years, Gladers get Stung rarely and all of them were Runners. Neither of them survived through the Changing and only one Glader that got Stung was left in the Slammer then eventually died.
Poe was standing with Anton and Teo as they glanced ahead towards the Keepers. There were sounds of struggle from Ben, there was Minho dragging Ben to the doors. Same way how Minho dragged Nick. "Please, just listen to me!" Ben begged, his voice was raw and dry, "listen to me, please! Please, Minho!"
Minho kept pushing Ben to the doors and passed the Keepers. In the middle of the Keepers, that's where Ben was on his knees, Minho untied him, and Ben began to sob out and retching out at the same time. Minho threw a bag into the maze for Ben to take while he's in the maze.
"Please!" Ben cried and sobbed at the same time.
The metal groaned and howled loudly, signalling for the doors closing to begin. Minho moved away and went between the Gladers. Once the winds came through the doors, into the maze that's when Alby yelled out "Poles!" The Keepers drew the poles at Ben and start marching towards Ben to push him into the maze.
For some odd reason, Poe found this less difficult to watch, he never tore his eyes away from the scene this time, maybe it was because he couldn't watch his best friend being forced into the maze while Ben who he barely even knows was less harder to watch. He spotted Thomas walking in closer behind the Gladers and watched in horror as the Gladers draw Ben into the maze.
"I'll get better!" Ben continually cried, "I promise I'll get better! Please!" He was in between the doors as they were five feet from closing in each other making Ben to hurry down into the maze.
With the last inches from the doors closing, Ben let out a crying scream before being cut off by the doors closing shut.
Then it was all silent.
It was a moment of silent, no one spoke, Alby glanced at everyone before he breaking the silence, "He belongs in the maze now" with that, he left.
Poe heard Anton sniffling while Bark softly whimpered. Poe turned to Anton, put his arm around the kid's shoulders then guided him out of the area and lead him back to the picnic area.
