Fearless (1 of 3)

The plan to escape

Winter...

"You can't possibly think that!" I yelled at Gally, who was standing in the middle of the Glade like he owned the whole place. 

"Thomas is the reason we all almost died yesterday! Thomas is the reason Alby is gone." I huffed at his weak response. It is low of him to bring Alby into this. Summer seemed to notice the look on my face. She stepped forward and jumped on the rumble of wood to stand tall in front of Gally. 

"But as far as I am concerned you are not the leader. Neither are you a second in command. That's Newt." She spat, fire in her words. Minho, Chuck, and Newt went to see Teresa and Thomas in the Slammer. While we were handling this rebellion here ourselves. Or more like we were rebelling here. 

"Newt was given a choice. Just like you two. Either you join in or you can march your way back in the maze." Gally said shoving my sister lightly but it was enough to cause her to fall from the pile of wood. Oh, now he's done it. 

"Yeah, sure. Not like it would make much of a difference. If you haven't noticed the doors aren't closing. They didn't close through the whole night and they won't close tonight either." I reasoned, showing him how ridiculous was the idea of banishing now. 

"Grievers will come here for us one way or another. Our only hope is to find a way out." Summer said a bit more softly. She has pulled herself from the ground and was now standing behind me. 

"And who is gonna get us there? Thomas?" Gally snapped looking mainly at Summer because she was the biggest believer of the Greenie. "All he is gonna do is get himself and you killed." I stayed quiet. I don't need to get put in the pit right now. For all I know, these shanks could let me die there when the Grievers come this evening. 

"Well, I rather die knowing that I at least tried than dying tonight like a coward, hiding from Grievers in some shucking hole." Summer said and glared at Gally. Ugh, why is she so impulsive? 

"So what are you saying?" Gally challenged her to say it, just so he would have a reason to lock her up. 

"Summer, don't," I warned her but this gal never listens. 

"I am with Thomas." Summer said decisively. I facepalmed and already started to walk towards the Slammer to warn others. On my way there I grabbed onto Summer's shoulder. 

"At least be of the love and keep them a bit so I can warn the others," I whispered to her and then simply shoved her just so it would look like I was done with her so the others won't get suspicious where I was going. 

I started picking up my pace when I was far enough. I heard yelling from the center of the Glade and saw two boys grab onto Summer. Shucking girl. I started running faster towards the pits. Why do we keep them so far? 

I finally noticed Minho, Newt and Chuck crouched next to one of the doors and I rushed to them. They didn't seem to notice me yet. 

"Guys!" I yelled causing them to turn around.

"What are you doing here, I thought you and Summer were supposed to keep Gally and the others occupied," Minho asked, a bit panicked. We can't do shit if we are all locked in a pit. 

"Summer took it too far. They are putting her in a Slammer." I announced causing Newt to groan. He must love his girlfriend right about now. 

"I will shucking kill her." I heard him mumble under his breath. I looked over the hill to see the two guys dragging Summer up the hill and towards the Slammer. She was yelling and fighting against them, just to let us know that they were near. 

"Alright, we need to get out before they put all of us in." I reminded them, trying to get them to move their asses. 

"Right, so the plan stands. You guys inform Summer about it and we are escaping. Today at sundown." Minho finished the conversation and we all scrambled away to hide behind some trees so no one would see us.
