As night crept up upon the Glade, Newt and I made our way back to get some dinner. Everyone smiled warmly at me, some even stopped to say hi.

"Wait here." Newt instructed. "I'll get you something."

I waved Alby, Minho and Ben over and they happily sat beside me.

"How goes lover boy?" Minho chuckles.

"Good." I blushed.

"I haven't seen Newt this happy ever." Alby replied.

"No one has." Ben nods.

"So you are saying I make him happy?" I question.

"Exactly what we are saying." Alby says.

"Good that." Ben says right before Newt comes back.

"Sorry shanks, didn't notice you guys sit down." He hands me Frypan's food.

"We ate earlier, just wanted to see our mates." Ben laughs.

"Really shucking nice of you." Newt laughs.

"Attention." Gally stands on a table.

"Bloody hell." Newt mumbles. "This can't be good."

"Sit down Gally." Alby orders.

"We've all welcomed Audrey into the arms of the Glade even though she is claiming she knows Newt but that won't stop us from treating her equally."

I'm taken back.

"We've all had our ups and downs with the only girl here but from now on she is one of us, she isn't a greenie, she's Audrey."

People cheer.

"What the shuck?" Newt questions.

"Gally has step up." Alby nods.

People roar and party as Ben starts chanting things. I take off to find Gally and thank him. I find him behind Frypan's shack.

"Gally?" I question.

"Did you like it?" He asks.

"I did." I smile.

"Good, that means people fell for it." He turns to me. "Audrey I made it clear that if you keep telling Newt lies is bloody hurt you, this time I'll kill you. I have eyes and ears everywhere, Gladers who don't like you. I'll bloody murder you myself if you keep screwing our second in charges mind."

I want to scream but I don't. If I know what's good for me, I'll walk away slowly.

"And I'll let you be a Runner." Gally says. "So the grievers have a chance at you before I do."

I nod.

"Oh and Audrey. I'll shuck that Newt too. He's any easy kill." Something glitches in his eyes, like a mechanical spark, like he's being controlled.

But, I sprint.
