We are going to get out of here. We are going to be free. Or are we just walking into a bigger trap?
The morning after everything happened, Newt woke up with his arm still wrapped around Raven. She was in the position she fell asleep in. She never moved. He smiled at her then lightly tapped her shoulder to wake her up. "Hey Raven wake up." He whispered.
She moved a bit then opened her eyes. She turned and looked at Newt. She smiled. "I'm up." She said. They both sat up and got out the hammock and walked out onto the glade where most of the gladers we cleaning up the place after last nights events.
They both stood there and heard footsteps coming up to them. It was Gally and he still looked pretty upset. "Just so you guys know, we're banishing Thomas at sundown." He said standing there with his hands on his hips.
"Why? He didn't do anything wrong. That's not fair." Raven said in defense. "You can't just start making decisions Gally." Newt added.
"Well since no one else will, somebody has to. He is being banished for running this place into the ground. End of discussion. You either join me or be banished with him." Gally said walking away.
"Oh I outta." Raven said getting ready to go after Gally but Newt pulled her back. "Its okay. It's okay. Come on let's go check on Thomas."
As they walked over to the pit Raven looked over her shoulder at Gally as he stood by the maze talking to the other Gladers. Once they got there, Minho and Chuck were looking inside at Thomas and Teresa.
They waited for a second and then Thomas pops up from Teresa's lap. "Are you okay?" She asked him. He looked as if he was in a daze or woke up from a dream.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Chuck said alittle angry. "What happened?" Thomas asked rubbing his head.
"Gally has taken control. He said we had a choice..... either join him or get banished with you at sundown." Newt said. "Its kind of ridiculous to me." Raven said rolling her eyes.
"And the others agreed to that?" Thomas said surprised. "Gally has everyone convinced that you're reason all this happened." Teresa said. "So you're not exactly everyone's favorite right now." Raven added.
"Well hes been right so far." Thomas said quietly rubbing his knees. "What are you talking about?"
"This place… it's not what we thought it was. It's not a prison, it's a test." Thomas began. They all started to listen intently. "It all started when we were kids. They would give us these challenges. They were experimenting on us. And then people started disappearing. Every month, one after the other, like clockwork." Thomas finished.
"They were sending them up into the maze." Newt said. "Yeah but not all of us." Thomas continued. "What do you mean?" Newt asked confused.
There was a slight pause. "Guys I'm one of them. The people who put you here, I worked with them. I watched you guys for years. The entire time you have been here...I was on the other side of it. So were you." Thomas said looking at Teresa.
