(Alby POV)
Newt is like my best friend,and a brother. Once he came,the broken pieces of me seemed to Glue themselves back together again. We built a few things,hammocks,shelters,even we started the construction of a council hall. It's like our own mini world. We ran the Maze together,mapping and writing down what we could find,Newt suggested somewhere to store all our findings,so I took that into deep concentration.
"Alby. Alby!" Newt's voice hisses as I snap open my eyes,realising I've just been asleep.
"What's up?" I ask.
"The box."
With the end of the sentence I snap fully awake,throwing myself off the hammock and running towards the box. Before we open it we look at each other for a moment and then open the doors at the same time to reveal another boy. Quite tall with skin a little darker than Newt's,brown scruffy hair with a petrified look,just like the both of us.
He starts screaming horribly when he sees us. We have to wait a while until he finally shuts up.
"Please don't hurt me!" He whines.
"Don't worry." I say,holding out my hand to him which he takes,not looking at the directly in the eye.
I haul him and he flops onto the ground.
"We've got a ton more of supplies Alby!" Newt gasps,admiring the box.
"We'll set them out later," I say then turn back to the new Greenie "Are you okay?"
"Of course not!"
"We're not going to hurt you. This is your home. I'm Alby and this is Newt. And believe me,if you want to survive,trust us,help us with the work and don't go anywhere in this place unless you get our permission. You understand?"
"Yes,Alby."
"Good. You look hungry,how about some supper?"
"Yes please."
We gulp down some soup sent up in the box and some fresh warm bread,I make sure lots is rationed.
"Thanks for the food." The Greenie says.
"Don't mention it," Newt comments "You're one of us now. This is your home. You stick here. With us."
A little while later after supper Newt drags me away,so it's just the two of us.
"What's up Newt?"
"What are we supposed to do? Take him in the Maze with us?"
"I guess so. But it'll be okay,only for a while until a new one comes up. To keep him company. Then when even more emerge,we'll give them jobs, daily ones. Some can run in the Maze,the fast ones. See what else it out there.."
"Okay. Alby there's something else I needed to say,"
"Yeah, what?"
"I.. I... I.. Um. It doesn't matter."
He walks away after that,leaving me confused.
