The Maze Runner but without death (Survive #24)

Chapter 12

THOMAS POV:

I bolted up after another nightmare. "Go back to sleep Tommy. Your daddy just needs to run the maze quick" said Newt. "I thought only Thomas could call me daddy" said Minho. He was getting ready and adjusting his harness. "Well Newt did call you my daddy but I can still say good bye for now" I said sitting up. I stood up and Alby entered. I was scared at first but then remembered he has already seen me naked. Alby also had a running harness. "Ready to go" he asked. "Ya, let's hurry" said Minho. He hugged and kissed Newt and I. Alby and Minho left. "Come on Tommy. They will be back before lunch. Let's clean these bloody sheets" said Newt. Newt and I took the sheets and blanket to the washers. They have a washer and dryer I guess. That's nice but no showers I think. It's kinda gross. But Minho's hair was still soft. We washed the stuff and then had breakfast. Not much happened. Bark whined. I looked down at him. "Don't you have food" I asked. Bark whined louder. "He wants the bacon" said Chuck.

I gave Bark a small piece of the bacon. He ate it and ran off. After breakfast I was with the farmers again. I still don't know why Alby went into the maze. Him, Minho, and Daron left the smorning. Newt and Zart started to cut down a stump. "I mean why would Alby go into the maze? He's not a runner" I said. Newt stopped and looked at me. "Things are different now. Alby went to go retrace Ben's footsteps before sundown. Look are you gonna help" asked Newt. "Okay so he's going to go back to where Ben was just stung" I asked. "Alby knows what he's doing alright. He knows better then any of us" said Newt. He went back to cutting the stump. "What does that mean" I asked. Newt stopped again and looked at me. "Alright it's like you heard earlier. Ever month the box sends up a new arrival. Some one had to be first right? Someone had to of spent a entire month in the glade alone. And that was Alby" said Newt. He went back to working. "I mean it couldn't of been easy. But once those other boys started coming up he saw the truth" said Newt.

He stopped working and looked at me. "And he learned that the most important thing is that we all have each other. Because we're all in this together" said Newt. He went back to working. I looked at Chuck and then decided to work. I walked up to the stump and started cutting. "Yay, there you go greenie" said Newt. "BARK COME BACK HERE. YOU AREN'T SUPPOSE TO HAVE MINHO'S HAIR GEL" Ben yelled as he chased Bark who had a can of Minho's hair gel. Ben saw me and shot me a quick death glare before chasing after Bark again. "You guys stay here, I'll help Ben quick" said Newt. He put his sword down and ran after them. I continued to work. At lunch Minho, Daron, and Alby still weren't back. I got my bowl and got in line. Frypan made some stew or something. Chuck smelled his bowl. "It smells burnt" said Chuck. "And you think you can do any better? Next" said Frypan. Chuck sat down at a table and I walked up. "What about Minho, Daron, and Alby" I asked. "More for us" said Frypan. He gave me some food and I sat by Newt and Chuck. I am worried for Alby, Daron, and Minho.
