THOMAS POV: 

Janson and I sat back down at the table. I crossed my arms. Janson grabbed two pictures from his pocket. Newt and Gally. Newt sure grew up hot. Janson laid the photo's on the table. "Do you know these two" asked Janson. "Ya, they're my friends from elementary" I said. "Interesting" said Janson. He put the two photos back in his pocket. Janson handed me a sheet of paper that I guess is suppose to be a maze. "Fill this out" said Janson and handed me the pen. I signed and took it. What does this have to do with anything? I filled out the maze and there was no exit. I signed annoyed and slammed the pen against the table. "There is no exit" I said. Janson grabbed white out and put it over one of the lines to create a exit. "Now try" said Janson. "WHAT DOES THIS PROVE" I yelled. Janson said nothing. I signed annoyed and took the stupid pen. I completed the maze. "There happy" I asked putting the pen down. "You see Thomas, you could be the key" said Janson. I was confused. "What" I asked. 

"If you come with us Thomas then you will have to one day become half griever. Believe it or not you are not the first one like you to become one" said Janson. I felt light headed and fainted. I later woke up and agreed to their deal but first I must enter the maze. Teresa and Brenda might come up if they agree. I opened my eyes. Newt was peacefully sleeping with me in his arms. A few boys started waking up. I hugged Newt and snuggled closer. I closed my eyes. Newt smiled and kissed my head. "Good morning Tommy" said Newt. 

NEWT POV: 

Thomas looked up at me. "Sorry did I wake you" he asked. "No, I was already awake" I said. I leaned in closer to whisper. "I can't sleep. I'm half griever" I whispered. "Right, guess I forgot" said Thomas. "Come on" I said. I got up and Thomas got up two. I held his hand as we walked around the glade waiting for breakfast. "Did you get your memories back" I asked. "Ya, I remember everything" said Thomas. He seemed sad. I wrapped my arm around him and pulled Thomas to my chest. 

"It will be okay Tommy" I said. "I know, I'm just still adjusting to everything" said Thomas. Alby walked over to us. "Hey, Thomas you up" asked Alby. "Ya" said Thomas. He rolled over to face Alby. "Come with me" said Alby. Thomas got up and followed Alby. He carved his name on the wall and then we had breakfast. I sat next to Tommy. "Has anyone seen Ben" asked Minho. "No, maybe he is still sleeping" I said. Thomas tried to hide in his chair. "No we already checked" said a runner. "Well maybe the shank got a head start" said Minho. "And skipped breakfast" asked Frypan. "Unless he snuck in when no one noticed" said Minho. "Well, we were running behind I guess" said a cook nervously. "Well let's just assume Ben got a head start" said Alby. Everyone went back to breakfast and I looked at Thomas. "Tommy, are you okay" I asked. "Ya, I uh it's nothing I'm fine" said Thomas nervously. "No you're not Tommy. Tell me the bloody truth" I said. Thomas signed and leaned closer to whisper. "Ben was there last night. He was taken by a griever" Thomas whispered. "Then he is dead" I said. Alby walked up to us. "Change in plans Newt. Gally asked if Thomas could try being a builder today" said Alby.
