The First Glader |Canceled|

My Gathering

Ben was gone, I barely knew the boy but I was shocked. I always saw the worst part, their death, but never once did I see the emotional impact on a few of the boys. The builders were bitter right from the start and Thomas was pale. I left him be while the Keepers wanted a Gathering about me, I didn't want to go but Minho said I had too.

As I followed Minho I couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy, "Sit." Alby ordered. There were 13 chairs, one for each of us. "We need to decide if this girl is a threat."

"She the new greenie? I didn't here the alarm go off and the chick's note..." The boy named Frypan trailed.

"Well why don't we have the girl tell us that?" Newt said and all twelve pairs of eyes looked my way.

"I'm not going to bother telling you my bloody name so let's get to the matter at hand. I'm not new to the Glade, I'm the first Glader. I came five years ago when I was seven, and on about my third week here I went into the maze and got trapped inside. I ended up fighting off a Griever and finding a hideout. That hideout has been my home since."

"You saw us come up, didn't you? So why didn't you help us?" Zart asked.

I shook my head, "After two years of being alone you'd think I'd be happy, more people! But I wasn't, I thought you were going to kill me. The creators got me paranoid for a while, the maze didn't just have Grievers but other things that are ten times more dangerous. They're all gone now but still."

"You have any idea on a way out?" Alby asked but his frown deepened as I shook my head. It was a lie, Minho knew that.

"Well what are we going to bloody do with her?" Newt said.

"Well she could help us find a way out, if she knew a way out would she be here? If she did then she would be bringing us too. She could help find a way out." Zart said.

"So what? She could be working for the creators!" Gally hissed.

"Gally, listen! You weren't in the maze earlier! She may have saved my life. Alby I don't think she should come." Minho stated.

"Why did you save the shank?" Alby asked, completely ignoring Minho which made him annoyed.

"I already told you! I don't think it's dead, maybe it is maybe it isn't but I'm not going to bloody wait for it to spring back to life and sting me!" I hissed. "Also he seemed to clueless to realize it. Besides I heard it fall, I think it's a trap."

"How do we know you're not tricking us?" Gally hissed. My face was heating up in rage and I had to take a deep breath to keep my composer. "What are you going to do? Kill me?"

"Gally?"

"What?"

"Shut up before I hit you."

"For what?"

"There are many words for this shank right now," I said and looked Newt dead in the eye. "Make him stop talking before I punch him to next year."

"Doubt you could hit me that hard."

"Shank, shut you slithead mouth up. She isn't alive because she doesn't know how to defend herself. She fights off Grievers and lives in the Maze. What do you do, Gally?" Minho snapped.

"If you have so much to say then what do you propose we do?" Newt said before a fight could break out.

"I say we make her a runner and have a spot on the council." Minho replied.

"WHAT?!" Gally yelled.

"I for one agree with Minho, you said you recognized the girl and the fact that you know the Maze could play in our favor." Alby said.

"All who agree say aye," Newt said. "Aye."

"Aye." Minho said immediately.

"Aye," Frypan said. Everyone but Gally and Winston said aye.

"Winston?" Newt seemed to ask.

"We barely know the girl, how do we know she's not going to be trouble? Where's she going to stay?"

"Well, Minho told me he had the biggest room. I could make a hammock and stay there. As for seeing if I'm trouble, we're all trouble and I respect the fact you don't trust me. In all honesty I don't expect you to."

"How are you this mature?" I shrugged, I really didn't know.

"Okay this meeting is at a close. You start your job as a runner in a few days but you help all around the Glade when you're not. You're too have a spot on the council. Dismissed!" I got up and left with Minho to head to his room. I wasn't happy that I had to wait a few days but I would manage.

I'm so sorry that this is slightly over due but I'm sick and just got out from break. I'll try letting you know what's up, I'm almost done being sick.

Also sorry for how short the chapter was it was kind of a fill. Anyway the next chapter should be ups soon, I hope.
