chapter twenty-one❛❛ good luck against the grievers ❜❜
————————————————
Many Gladers went on Gally's side and believed what happened last night was entirely Thomas's and Teresa's fault. Poe can't really blame them but he is aware that ever since those two arrived, things have change and the Glade fell apart.
Gally swore if they join Thomas, they get banished with him.
After Poe learned Alby was one of those who were taken by Grievers, Poe couldn't mourn for the guy even though he wanted to. The remaining Gladers have taken the last remaining food, rationing them, even from the crops, they gathered all the supplies and the weapons. They were preparing for the next night, it is likely that the Grievers will come back, the next night and the next until the very last Glader.
Thomas and Teresa were in the Slammer together, the guy was going through the Changing and will likely wake up within a day. As what they've guessed, after they gave Alby the serum, he woke up the next day.
In the early morning, Poe couldn't find Newt anywhere, the Second in Command who was supposedly taken the leader role after Alby but unfortunately, Gally had taken over and had overpowered him. When Poe found Newt, he found him sleeping in the Deadheads near the graveyard, curled in a ball, using his arm as a pillow, it was a long night for Newt. Poe left then came back with a blanket and tucked him. Poe left him but told Bark to stay with Newt despite Poe had an urge of wanting to stay with Newt until he wakes up. Poe couldn't imagine how Newt was feeling, it hit him that Newt have known Alby from the start, and that's a long time for them to known each other.
Around noon, Poe was by the Homestead with Teo and Anton, sitting as they waited for Thomas to wake up while Chuck and Minho were at the Slammer. Newt had finally woke up and went straight to the Slammer to see if Thomas have woken up yet while Bark went back to Poe.
Anton was sleeping on the grass behind Poe and Teo, the kid has been sleeping the past hour until there was Newt waving from outside of the Slammer, signalling that Thomas was waking up. "Come on guys" Teo tapped Anton's knee. Winston and Teo went ahead to the Slammer while Poe waited for Anton to get up.
"Come on, Anton" Poe helped the boy to get on his feel as he got up groggily.
Newt was already explaining what happened since Thomas passed out after he stung himself on purpose. "—he said we had a choice. Either join him... or get banished at sundown with you"
Thomas pulled himself up to sit up, "And others have agreed to that?"
Teresa answered this question, "Gally has everyone convinced that you're the reason all this has happened"
