You immediately run to the med-jack hut followed by the others. You enter his room, where Alby is sitting up, looking like he'd just seen a ghost.

"Has he said anything?" Thomas asked. "No." Teresa replied. Newt went to Alby's bedside. "Alby." he asked. "You alright?"
Alby said nothing.
"Hey, Alby." Thomas joined in. "Alby, we might have found a way out of the maze. Do you hear me? We could be getting out of here."

Alby shook his head. "We can't."
You looked down upon him. "Alby-"
"-We can't leave. They won't let us." he said quietly.
"Al, what are you talking about?" you asked. 

"I remember?" Alby said. Everyone in the room exchanged looks. "What do you remember?" you asked. "Thomas." Alby said. Everyone looked at Thomas. "You were always there favorite Thomas. Always. More than Y/N."

You started to hear Gladers yelling in the distance, but you were too focused on Alby.

"-Alby, what's that supposed to mean?" you asked. "You both worked with them. You, Y/N had no choice and hated it. Thomas, I'm not so sure about."

You couldn't believe what you were hearing. It was almost worse than what Justin had told you when he went through the changing. "Why did you do this? Why did you come here?" Alby asked Thomas.

The shouting outside became louder. The others went to see what was going on. You gave Alby a little squeeze on the shoulder as he started to quietly sob. "Don't trust them, Y/N." Alby said. 
"Don't trust who?" you asked. "Don't trust WICKED."

Your mind snapped. You remember Justin saying the same thing to you. "WCKD. Wicked." you said aloud. "Jesus Christ!' you yell as you look out the window. Chaos everywhere. You left Alby on the spot to find out what was going on.

You see the group of boys by Winston. "Winston, what's going on?" Thomas asked. "The doors. They're not closing!" Winston replied. "Shit!" you yell, noticing that the doors haven't moved an inch and it was way past sundown. 

You ran to the doors where the other gladers were. There was a loud CLANG! which caused everyone to cover there ears. Then you look around to see all the doors of the maze start to open. There were four entrances of the maze. And they were all opening, one at a time. You were all in deep shit now.

"Chuck, go to Council Hall and start to barricade the doors!" you said. "Winston, go with him!" said Newt. Chuck and Winston obeyed your commands and ran to Council Hall. 
"Get the others!" Gally said to one of his builders. "Tell them to go to the forest. Go hide, now!"
"-Minho, Y/N!" said Thomas. "Go grab every weapon you can find. I'l meet you at Council Hall. Let's go!"

"Y/N, come on!" yelled Minho. You turned to Newt, who gave a quick kiss. "Be careful." he said. "I will." you say before running to join Minho. 

You go the the armory and grab knives, steaks, poles, etc. Carrying as much as you could. You heard the familiar roaring of the Grievers. "Shucking shit!" you yell as you leave the armory. You hear boys screaming in the distance.

"We gotta go, now!' said Minho. The two of you made it to cross the Glade to Council Hall. You see Gally and his other builders go to hide in the box, when they should be helping out. "Cowards." you say as you pass it. You hear the familiar yell of Zart. You wanted to go and help him, but Minho stopped you and pointed to a bigger group. All your other friends being backed up by a Griever. 

Frypan bumps into you and and takes a spear and throws it at the Griever, getting a direct hit. "Shit, Fry." you say in shock. "Over here, let's go!" Fry yelled to the group. You all ran to the Council Hall where Chuck was waiting outside with Winston, holding a lantern. "Over here, come on!" Chuck yelled at you. You got inside just before Thomas.
"Come on, get Alby inside!' Thomas yelled. Clint and Jeff were holding Alby and got him in. They locked down the doors once they got Alby inside. You immediately rush to Newt's side.

You could hear that a Griever was pounding on the door, trying to find a way in. You could hear as it started to climb to the roof, pounding on it even more. "Stay back, guys." Newt said as he placed an arm behind your back. All of you moved away from the roof, just as the Griever's tail broke through to say hello! and took off the pole that was holding the hut together. You all yelled and screamed as the straw roof came crashing down, the small dust particles from the straw making you cough and sneeze. "You all alright?" Newt asked as everyone coughed. 

You heard someone call for help. Thomas was going to help, but the Griever's caught the poor boy before Thomas could outstretch his arm to him. Everyone backed away further. Newt pointing his sword-like knife at the door. "Watch out!" Thomas yelled. Then another Griever came from the left corner and grabbed Chuck. 

"No Chuck!" you yelled. "Grab him!" Thomas yelled. You grabbed one of Chuck's hands while Thomas grabbed the others. "Don't let go!" Thomas yelled "No shit!" Chuck yelled back. You could see the Griever start to aim his stinger at Chuck's behind.  But, Alby pulled a full on Y/N and hit at the stinger, chopping it off. With your free hand, you had your knife, which you used to chop the tail off, so it would let go of Chuck. 

"Chuck, are you okay?" you asked as Chuck made it safely to the ground. "Yeah." Chuck responded, out of breath. "Thanks, guys."
Then all of a sudden, another Griever's tail pops up. "Guys, watch out!" Thomas yelled. You ducked out of the way and the Griever's tail got Alby. You immediately grab his hand, while Thomas grabbed the other. "Thomas, Y/N. Get them out." Alby said, before he pulled out your grasp and let the Griever take him away. "No!" you scream. "Alby!" yelled Thomas. 

You and Thomas both make a break for the door, while the others protested. You were the first ones out there and what yous saw wasn't pretty.

Most of the buildings were on fire, including your private hut. Gladers were running around like headless chickens, screaming in panic. 

You then see Gally and two of his builders walk over to you guys. His eyes glistening with tears full of anger and hatred. You could tell he was going for Thomas.
"-Gally." Thomas said, calmly. Gally punched Thomas in the face, and you immediately push him away. "What the Hell, Gally!" you yell.
"This is all you, Thomas! Look around!" Gally yelled, ignoring your protests. "Back the hell off Gally, it's not his fault." Minho yelled. "You heard what Alby said, he's one of them!"
"One of who?" Newt asked, just as angrily.
"He's one of them and they sent him here to destroy everything and now he has! Look around, Thomas! Look around!"

The other boys took over holding Gally back, trying to calm him down while you went to Thomas and Teresa.  Thomas had one of the Griever's stingers in his hand. "Maybe, he's right." 
"Thomas." you say in protest. "I need to remember, Y/N." he lifted the stinger up a bit. 
"Thomas." Teresa joined in. Thomas then stabbed himself in the leg.
"-Thomas!' you and Teresa yelled. Thomas fell to the floor, screaming in pain. "Get the other syringe!" Teresa yelled. 

Chuck obeyed and came back with it. Teresa stabbed Thomas with the syringe in his leg and he gasped and fell into unconsciousness. 

After that, Gally took charge and threw both Thomas and Teresa into the pit, blaming both of them for what has happened. The Grievers left and Gally did a head count. Five people were taken including Alby and Zart. Gally went to cross of the names of the people who were taken. 

Gally then gave everyone a choice. To either join him, or get banished with Thomas and Teresa at sunrise.
