After unloading I look up and see Minho and Ben returning from their laps of the maze. I miss it, running. But I promised myself I would never go in there again, not after what I saw. I know the true horrors of the maze. "Minho, Ben, how was it?"

Minho shook his head while coming to a stop with Ben by his side, "Nothing." He breathes.

"How many years now? How many sections?" Ben goes on.

"You'll find something, one day..." I say, as my attention is drawn over to one of the entrances to the maze. "Is... Is that the Newbie? Is he going in?" I say and as soon as the words leave my lips Gally began running towards him.

I followed straight after, leaving Minho and Ben to do whatever they needed to, my sole focus was on the Newbie not going into the maze, besides the doors were about to close.

"Hey!" Gally yelled with knocking the greenie to the ground, "we've got to stop meeting like this, Greenie."

By the time I got there, Newt had made his way beside me, along with Chuck. "Get off me!" The greenie says while kicking Gallys feet out of the way.

"Calm down..." I say while putting my hands up and in front of me, trying my best to calm him down, by now everyone was crowding around.

As the greenie began to speak, Newt leaned over to me, "What exactly happened?" He whispered.

"He going to go into the maze.... so Gally being Gally, pushed him..." I explain.

"What the hell is wrong with you people!" The Newbie questioned us.

"Just calm down, all right?" Newt tried but got shut down straight away.

"No, okay! Why won't you tell me what's out there?" He questioned again.

I began to get really uncomfortable with where this conversation was going, nobody knew for sure what was out there, nobody except for me. I was the only one to encounter a griever, and I barely got away with my life. I got too lost in my thoughts to even know what was going on in the conversation, but soon it was all cut off by the low grumbling noise of the doors closing. The concrete against concrete scraped against each other; sending a shiver down my spine. Soon the jagged edge of the walls fit together like two puzzle pieces and it was over, we were safe for the night.

The Newbie looked in bewilderment as he saw what had happened, his first thought must have been, 'how did they move or why did they move?' Or something like that. "What the hell?" Was all that left his mouth.

"Next time, I'm gonna let you leave." Gally said before walking away, I rolled my eyes at his statement.

"Welcome to the Glade." Alby says as we all begin to walk away, Newt turns and gently taps me on the waist, guiding me to walk with him; so, I did. However, my judgement got the better of me and I looked back to see the Newbie standing all by himself.

"I'll catch up with you tonight, okay?" I ask, while I stopped walking.

"Bonfire? You're helping light it right?" He asked with a grin.

I return one as I answered, "Always do." Then I turn back and walk over to the Greenie, for a moment we stand in silence; staring at the wall. "So, any questions? Because I'm guessing you have a lot and you're probably not getting the answers you want." I say while turning to look at him.
