Everyone held a gathering in what was left of Homestead. Some people showed up and some people just kept hiding because they were scared. You walked into Homestead and sat down on a small stool beside Newt. He flashed a small smile and reached for your hand. You didn't want to be touched or comforted right now, but Newt was the only one who could. You held his hand tightly as the meeting began.

"um so we all know what happened..." Newt started. Gally glared at you from across the room and you hid your face in your shirt. "I know everyone's scared but-" Newt was cut off because of Gally. Of course. "I say Thomas, Teresa, and y/n be banished." Gally finished stepping up and looking at the rest of us. "it's not their fault though," Minho said facing us three.

"Really?! Ok so maybe it's not Thomas' fault but did you not see how life turned weird right when TWO GIRLS APPEARED?! In three years there were no girls and now they just COME HERE!!!" Gally yelled as his face turned red. You stuttered, "g-gally...i didn't come here to hurt anyone," "bull crap." Gally muttered turning around and pacing in circles. "He's just being crazy," Newt whispered, trying to comfort you. "OH DONT COMFORT HER! THE ENEMY?!" Gally said with one hand pointed at you and one still on his head. That was the last straw.

"LISTEN! Listen here Gally. I don't give two shits about what happens to you. I used to want to be friends with you because I thought you weren't a shucking asshole!? I have done nothing but try to help you?!?" You screamed as the room got quiet. Even Gally shut up for once. "And don't you shucking dare bring Newt or the rest of my friends into this?! Because they actually do stuff, they work and try to help instead of you, who just tries to accuse people non-stop?! First Thomas, then me, and NOW EVEN SHUCKING TERESA?! we are just as scared as you. we're just teens in a strange place trying to GET OUT?!" You cracked. Everyone froze in fear? Surprise? You stomped out of the Homestead and walked over to the Deadheads. It was a peaceful place, there was a small pond, fresh air, and soft grass. You cooked down by peeping your toes in the pond and relaxed.

You lied down onto the soft grass and breathed. "was it really my fault?" You asked yourself, trying to reason with gally in your mind. Then a face came into view. Two. Three? It was Thomas, Minho, and Newt. "oh hey guys," you said, sitting back up. "ummm...so what bloody happened back there with gally?" Newt asked sitting beside you.

"I couldn't take his kluck anymore," you said, letting out a small laugh. "thanks for standing up for me," Thomas said looking at you and back at the ground. "no problem, I mean i'm not gonna let my friends get pushed around a guy who has eyebrows the size of biscuits?!" You said bursting in laughter. The boys joined you and soon all of you laid down onto the soft grass. Just calming down and thinking.

"We gotta escape." You finally said. Minho and Newt shot up and faced each other and then at you, waiting for you to continue. You sat up, "i mean...we already know where to go and we can't stay here again," you answered playing with the grass. "you are right," Minho agreed. "but how? Gallys never gonna let us go and we'll probably die," Newt said facing the maze entrance. "what's the difference. If we stay here, we'll die either way," Thomas backed up. "but we'll need a plan." Newt asked. "I have one." Thomas said with a smirk.

So then, Thomas told us the plan, you guys would go along with the banishment but turn on Gally at the end and escape...soon almost everyone was in on it, execpt Gally and his shanks...

Gally's buds tied you up onto poles along with Thomas and Teresa on your left and right. They yanked you and tied the ropes tightly. You could see the concerned look on Newts face but Minho was there to assure that the plan would work out as planned. "Gally...i-isn't this kind of mean...this is a harsh banishment..." Chuck said facing you three tied up. "it's not a banishment. it's an offering for the grievers so they'll leave us along." Gally explained finishing Thomas' tied hands. "what-?" You asked. You knew that you shouldn't have but you were shocked at Gallys thinking. "Do you think the grievers are just going to leave after us?!" You shouted, struggling to break free from the pole. "yeah." Gally said strictly. "they're going to come back and pick you off one by one." Teresa stated. This was our plan, we had to make Gally frustrated. Well, more frustrated than he already is. A few of his friends actually looked scared at Teresa's comment. "Slim it." Gally said as he walked forward and looked right into your eyes. It was like a staring contest.

Before he could realize, Minho had his machete right by Gallys neck. You smirked at the plan as Newt untied you and Thomas. You untied Teresa and got your backpack from Chuck. Frypan stepped out of the crowd to the entrance to the maze. "you could come too. Gally, we just want to survive." You pleaded, holding out a hand. "come with us," Teresa said, all of us waiting for his answer. "no, no...this is our home. Don't you get it, you'll die out there!" Gally shouted while pointing to the maze. "YOU GUYS JUST WANT TO DESTROY EVERYTHING!" Gally yelled putting his hands up and down. "gally...we're all scared, i'm scared." Thomas started. "we just want to survive, if we stay here the grievers are going to come back," Thomas said grabbing his bag from Chuck.

"good luck dying out there." Was all Gally said as he turned around and walked away. "anyone else?" You asked looking for any willing team members. Winston, Adam, Hayden, Colin, Frypan, Chuck, Thomas, Minho, Newt, Teresa, Jeff, Clint, Jayden, Peter, and six other kids you didn't know were on your team. That was most of the kids who were left. Only Gally and about ten kids were left in the glade.

Then you ran.

and ran.

and ran.

No one looked back or dared to stop. Everyone was too focused on escaping this hell hole. And making sure whoever trapped you here paid for it.

"ITS OVER HERE!" Yelled Minho as you approached the griever home. You looked behind you at Chuck. He seemed afraid, but you knew you couldn't blame him. I mean kids who were twenty and nineteen were afraid and he was only thirteen. A kid.

You grabbed his hand and smiled slightly. "come on, we got this far," you said and with that you ran into the unknown.
