I woke up as early as I could.
Everyone else was already asleep, and the sun was just starting to rise.
With my mind filled with Minho in the maze, I had completely forgotten about Ben.
I immediately got up and walked to the north door, passing the slammer, I saw Bens' corpse.
The sight disgusted me. It would disgust anyone.

I walked to the wall where we wrote our names on.

Bens name was crossed out.

I looked back at him. Lifeless. It felt uncomfortable staring at a person with no soul.

I looked back at the wall.

My name was crossed out as well.
I took out the sharpest knife I had on me, and began to carve my name into the stone wall.

MEL
Bold and big.
Suddenly, I felt a small col hand on my shoulder.

My first reaction was to turn around, and hold the knife in front of me as a an act of self-defense.

"Woah! Take it easy..." Said Newt.

"Sorry..." I quietly said.

"What are you doing with that thing?" He asked

I pointed at my name on the wall with my knife.

"It felt like the right thing to do" I said.

The ground started to tremble, and the doors began to shake open. 

We heard the other gladers starting to wake up.
Separating into groups, we waited at each entrance.
Chuck, Newt and I stood in front of everyone else at the North gate.

3 minutes passed...

17 minutes passed....

33 minutes passed...

  Eventually, only me and Chuck were left.
This can't be, maybe the were still out there, running for their lives.

I turned around. It was hopeless.

"Mel, please don't go. We waited for you for 8 months. You can wait for Minho for a day" said Chuck.

Chuck was a logical thinker, and what he said was true. What was I thinking? Just walking away from all the problems I had.

"I'll wait. I'll wait for years if I have to" I said.

I turned back around.

Suddenly, a loud groan came from the maze.
Everyone ran to the North gate.

Thomas, Minho, and Alby appeared from the corner.

I wanted to run in, but I wasn't allowed, and a couple of other runners came in to help them carry Alby to the med shed.

When Minho and Thomas were closer to the glade, I couldn't wait any longer.

I sprinted to Minho, and gave him the tightest hug I could possibly give him. Though he was tired, he still hugged me back, very weakly.

Then, I came up to Thomas, and hugged him the same way.

"What were you thinking?" I asked him quietly.

Minho over heard.

"He went in there like no big deal" he said.

I let go of Thomas.

Everyone started listening to him.

"Did you see a griever?" Asked Chuck.

"He didn't just see one. He killed one" Minho answered for Thomas.

I couldn't believe it. To kill a griever takes skills. Not even Minho, or me could do it.

Thomas needs to become a runner.

W.I.C.K.E.D

At the evening time, we gathered at the homestead for a meeting.

"Our greenie here, decided to run into the maze, breaking the rules" said Gally, giving a nasty glare at Thomas.

"We need to punish him" he continued

Majority of us were against it.

"He saved Albys life" I yelled over the crowd.

"No one asked for your opinion" said Gally.
"And no one asked for you to tell us what to do. Newt is the leader when Alby is gone. He should decide" I said.

Everyone looked at Newt.

"Gally got punished for hurting a glader, and spent a night in the pit with a corpse. Meanwhile, Thomas spent the first two nights in the glade in there as well, not knowing anything about what was going on. I think he doesn't deserve any punishments. Minho, what do you think?" He said.

"I don't know of hes plain dumb, or a genius, but whatever he has, we need more of it. I say we make him a runner" Answered Minho.

People protested.

"Mel, what do you think?" He asked, and everyone went silent.

I smiled at Minho, and he smirked back. He knew exactly what I was going to say.

"I say we make him a runner"
