Chapter 7

"Adaaaaaa." some one sang into my ear. I mumbled something incoherent and snuggled closer into my warm pillow moaning.

"Ada you have to get up." My favourite British boy said into my ear.

"No I don't wanna." I said pushing my hand over my ear. and sighed into the pillow.

"Love I need my arm and you need to get up you're being a slicer today." he whispered into my ear. I sat up then realising I was using newt as my pillow.

"Sorry. I'm so so sorry newt. please forgive me " I said remembering last night his t shirt was probably soaked from my tears.

"For what? not waking up?" he asked with a small chuckle.

"No for last night I probably woke up the whole glade." I said feeling ashamed they had to work really hard and I stopped them from sleeping.

"Hey that's okay your okay now though aren't you?" he smiled at me and I smiled nodding at him.

"Good that, come on frypan is making breakfast so we better get there quick before it all goes."

I found out that frypan was more of an ape than a human. that kid had hair every where but he was kind an nailed at us as newt asked for some sandwiches. I guess not every one is bad here.

"Here you go." frypan says as he hands us out plates with a cheese sandwich on and we leave and he's over to the picnic table we all sat at last nigh.

After a while chuck sat down with Minho who looked tired as if he was about I fall asleep right there.

"What kept you up?" newt asked looking at Minho whilst he sighed.

"You two need to keep quiet I heard you screaming his name and the. Couldn't get back to sleep because of the shucking walls moving I was worried 'bout Ben to." he made a weird sound then put his head in his arms as if he was hopping he was going to sleep then newt tapped him and he looked up angrily.

"Doors open in a couple of minutes you should get going." Minho sighed and got up leaving and heading to the Mao room were I saw the other runners go in earlier.

"Shoot did I wake up everyone?" I said feeling sorry all over again.

"Only a few people actually woke up the rest didn't even hear." chuck said from next to newt. the small kid sat eating a sandwich hi dark curls falling in front if his eyes.

"Hey do you have any scissors?" I asked turning my attention to newt. he looked surprised at my sudden out burst an nodded.

"Clint and jeff the med jacks have some for the bandages why?" he answered nodding over to joke stead where alby says they work.

"Chuck needs a hair cut and I want to give him one." I said smiling.

"Um okay you can do that later though. you need to go to winston first' newt said standing up and coming around and grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the pens where the animals were kept.

Winston came out of the big red rusty barn with a big smile on his face. He liked his job WAY to much. I had heard about the blood house , yeah it sounds as bad as its name. this is where you look after animal and then slaughter them. which is why I worried when winston came out smiling with blood all over his overalls.

"Good luck ill see you later love," newt said before slipping away going who knows where. I realised then that I didn't even know what newts job was.
Alby was the leader.
Minho was keeper of the runners.
But newt? I had no idea.

"So greenie you ready to get started?" winston said smiling as he wiped his hands on his apron.

For the first half of today I swept the places. then fed the animals, a dog called bark followed me everywhere. winston said Thayer had been there since the gladers had and no one knew where he came from.

"Okay greenie well done you can go to lunch now." winston said as he left probably to go get his own lunch.

As soon as he as said it I ran towards frypans. when I walked in a couple gladers glanced towards me but most just kept to themselves.

I grabbed a cheese sandwich and headed towards the dead heads for some quiet. I grabbed a low branch and pulling myself up an sitting on the branch. I sat and ate my sandwich trying to prepare myself for what was to come when I return to the blood house.

Slowly I walked to the blood house dreading what we have to do next.

"Ada! I was just about to come get you!" winston called from the blood house. I smiled and waved even though it probably looked like a grimace it worked and he smiled back and led me to the foul smelling barn.

"So now as you ah e probably guessed we are going to prepare the animals. today we will be working with a pig but its the same for most of the animals." Winston said and showed me to the pig pen. he selected te biggest one by the ear and twisted it so it would buckle down he then knocked it unconscious and dragged it begin him. I grimaced at the poor treatment of the animal but I guess it's good it's unconscious.

He dragged the almost life less pig begin him he entered the barn an yanked it up on to the already filthy side. he then tied the arms an legs down to the side of the table. I what he'd on in horror as he showed my where to make the cut and how you slice through the skin then he made the cut through the windpipe and told me that the pig was now officially dead. I watched unable to tear my eyes away from the horror. He showed me how to pull out its insides and I could feel bile rising in my throat. After a long time winston looked at me and smirked.

"Quite the stomach for a girl." he smiled and pointed to the door " you can go that's this job over good luck on the rest." he smiled and I headed over to the door before turning around.

"Hey winston?"I called to him.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Can you recommend I don't do this job, please." I ask pulling a puppy fig face and frowning.

He laughed then shook his head.

"I was going to do that anyway, you don't really have the stomach for it but you were better than some." he smiled at me and I waved as I headed out the door.

One job done, what's next?
