THOMAS POV:

After breakfast Newt put me in the wagon again. To be honest I wonder what the gladers do all day. Aside from hunting anyone who enters these woods. I mean what do they do when there is no human in the woods? Newt picked me up and laid me on a hammock. I noticed it was by the farm. Also they have animals. Which I did not expect but I guess it makes sense. Newt put a sling on my dislocated arm and kissed my forehead before running off to the farm. I laid in the hammock. It was tied to two trees and the branches and leaves caused shade. It was better then having the sun in my eyes. I saw Minho tape a page to a tree. They must be putting new pages up. Where do the pages come from? Does some shank draw them or do they just appear? I signed and closed my eyes. All I can really do is nap. I have three weeks till my ankle is healed. It twisted pretty bad. Seven weeks for my broken arm to heal and 14 weeks for my dislocated arm to heal.

I can stop wearing the sling in a few days but it will be a while till I'm healed. My leg will be the first thing to heal. Then I can walk but I won't be able to do much. I'm sure I will be able to heal myself but no heavy lifting. I opened my eyes and watched the gladers. The farmers were growing crops and taking care of the animals. The cooks were cleaning up the picnic area and there was slaughters. They were just slicing the animals up. Kinda gross. I noticed Minho was doing well with the gladers. Especially that one boy. Minho helped put up the eight pages and then ran around the edge of the woods. I saw eyebrows and a few other boys trimming branches and cutting the grass. They had a lawn mower which makes me wonder, is there no limit to what they can do? Wouldn't you have to change a lawn mower. I signed. I'll just forget about it. I want to roll over. I tried to roll over. Kinda hard when you only have one good leg. I fall off the hammock. I don't feel like trying to get up.

I started screaming and saw Newt start running up to me. I stopped screaming and laid there. Newt made it and gently picked me up. "I want to lay on my stomach" I said. Newt laid me on my hammock and put me on my stomach. He vanished and came back with a pillow and blanket. Newt put the pillow under my head and covered me up. I smiled a little. This makes me love Newt more. He kissed my forehead and ran back to the farm. I closed my eyes and tried to get some sleep. I slept for a few minutes I think. I opened my eyes and saw that the farmers were busy. I was gagged and taken away. What is happening? I was blindfolded and tried to scream. I can't fight these people. Who ever they are. I was hit in the stomach which made me cough. I don't think it is any of the gladers. I stopped screaming and let the people carry me. Hopefully Newt will notice I'm gone and come looking for me. I was sat in a chair and had the blind fold and gag removed. I tried to get the terrible taste out of my mouth and looked at my kidnappers. I was surprised. Girls?
