The First Glader |Canceled|

Ben's Banishing

I watched Gally leave along with the other Keepers, "So what are we going to do about the girly?" Winston asked.

"Nothing, she's only here because I told her not to go back into the maze." Minho said.

"You're making me stay here for one night, if I want to stay that's up to me. I've lived in the maze for five years then this shuck head took me out of it."

"For one night! It's safer here!"

"For now, but Minho everything is going to change, that's all because of that girl."

"That's what she said, 'Everything is going to change,' how did you bloody know that?" Newt said his eyes showed his distrust, not that I blame him.

"I didn't, but it is a fact. Where's the greenie boy?"

"Why? Got a crush Ro?" Minho teased.

"Oh very funny, but seriously where is he? I got to talk to him."

"Why?" Zart asked.

"The girl, something about this all clicks."

"You're sounding like Gally now," Newt stated.

"Don't compare me to him! He's utterly annoying."

"Takes one to know one eh?"

"Newt?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up," I smiled. "Look if ypu aren't going to tell me I'll look for myself."

"Check the woods," Zart called at my retreating form. I turned and gave a thumbs up. I walked around a bit and it didn't take long to find Thomas. He was at the tree side with a young boy, I walked over to the soundlessly.

"Already had a Gathering of the Keepers this morning—made a unanimous decision by the sounds of it. Looks like Ben'll be wishing that arrow had found a home inside his shuck brain after all." The boy said.

"What are you talking about?" Thomas asked.

"He's saying this Ben, is being banished." I stated. The two boys jumped out of their socks. "Jumpy? Anyway, hi there I'm Ro."

"Chuck," the other greeted while Thomas just looked at me.

"Banished? What does that mean?" Chuck and I shared a dark look but stayed silent.

That night, Newt and Alby gathered every last Glader at the East Door about a half hour before it closed. I stayed with Thomas and Chuck the whole time. The Runners had just returned and entered the mysterious Map Room, clanging the iron door shut; Minho had already gone in earlier.

An older looking boy came over, "You don't want to see this girly."

I shook my head, "I saw this from the other side, if you think this is bad, it's worse in there." He didn't say anything but stared at the doors.

"How bad is it out there?"

"Different. Not what you think, it's good and bad. I don't know how to explain it. It's like trying to explain how the universe was made, it doesn't work."
