It was around night time and Percy was ready to get some answers from someone finally. There was information thrown into his face but also there was some information Percy wanted to know about with the holes missing. 

Looking around, Percy saw all the gladers cheering and laughing as they clink their glasses together which made him a little. 

As Percy was watching, he heard someone say. "Enjoying the night, greenie?" Percy turned to see who it was and it was Newt. 

"Yeah, at least so far." Percy nodded a little bit as he then took a bite of the stew that was prepared for the night. 

"Glad to hear," Newt says while he pats Percy's back. "You should join the others, get to know them better."

"Yeah, well, maybe I will but can you at least tell me this whole maze thing first?"Percy asks as he was ready.

With a sigh, Newt looks at Percy and nods a little. "Alright, might as well. But you got to promise me you will meet the others."

A small smile appeared on Percy's face. "Okay, promise." he nods.

"Good that." Newt says and sits next to Percy on the bench. "what do you wanna know about the maze?"

"All I wanna know about the maze is, what is out there and why are only certain people able to go into the maze," Percy asks him.

"Well, for one thing, I can tell you what is in the maze is that there are things that we call grievers. Every night, they wander around the maze. There have been times in the past when a glader would be stuck in the maze and wouldn't make it out alive." Newt explains to Percy.

"What do they look like? Has anyone seen a griever?" Percy asks.

"We don't know what they look like because no one has survived in the maze at night to live and tell about it,"Newt tells him.

"Now what about the people that go into the maze during the day, what do they do?" Percy asks.

"Well, they are runners. They run around in the maze to help find a way out of this place." Newt tells him then points to a guy sitting by himself eating a bowl of the stew. "That guy over there is Minho, one of the best runners we got, he knows the maze better than anyone else."

"Is he getting close to finding a way out of here? This place?" Percy asks.

"Nope, nowhere. But we got to hold onto hope that we will find a way out of here."Newt sighs then look at Percy. "Well, I think that is enough information for the night, now why don't we have some fun."

Percy nodded a little bit with a smile. "Alright."

"C'mon," Newt says getting up as he starts to drag Percy along with him as he brings Percy to the other guys.

"Well, there is our greenie." Someone greets with a smile on their face. "Nice for you to join us. I am Frypan." the guy introduces himself.

"Hello, Frypan." Percy smiles and waves a little. "You may just call me Percy."

"Enjoyed the stew?" Frypan asks with a smile.

"Oh yes, very much enjoyed it." Percy nods.

"Frypan is our cook in the glade, he is responsible for the food," Newt tells Percy.

"Nice." Percy nods and smiles before a big growl erupted from the maze which made every stopped what they were doing. "What was that?" Percy asked.

"What do you think it is?" Newt asked him as he crossed his arms.

Percy furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to think what it could've possibly been. "A griever?"

"Yes, that was a griever. Just be lucky that we are here and not in the maze." Newt nods and then hands him a jar that was filled with some kind of liquid. "Here, drink this."

"What is it?" Percy looked at it curiously as he was holding the jar.

"It is a special drink, just try it," Newt tells him.

Percy shrugs a little before he then put the lips to the jar as he started to drink whatever was in the jar. As soon as he drank a little bit of it, he spits it out. "Oh gross, what is it?" he asked feeling repulsed.

"That is Gally's secret recipe," Newt tells him.

"Ugh, well it doesn't taste very good," Percy says as he tries to get the taste out of his tongue as Newt began to laugh.

"Alright gladers! Let's call it a night and get some sleep." Alby tells everyone as he was getting everyone's attention. Everyone then nodded and one by one went where they were sleeping for the night as well as Percy. Now all that Percy had to think was what he would do at the glade. Guess he would have to figure that out tomorrow morning.
