the doors
I walked off to the med-jack hut with Thomas, Minho, Gally, Fry, Newt and Teresa following me. Alby was sat up on his bed with his arms crossed.
"Has he said anything?" I asked Jeff and his head shook. "Alby?" I sat on one side of him and Newt sat on the other.
"Alby, you alright?" Newt leaned in front of him.
Silence. But tears swelled up in his eyes.
"Hey, Alby." Thomas knelt down. "Alby, we might have found a way out of the maze. You hear me? We could be getting out of here."
Alby's lip trembled, "We can't. We can't leave. They won't let us."
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"I remember."
"What do you remember?" I raised an eyebrow.
"You and Thomas. Thomas was always their favourite. Always. But you, y/n, they just used you. They treated you horribly even though you were her daughter." Alby said and my eyes widened. There were shouts and yells from outside.
Alby turned to Thomas. "Why did you do this? Why did you come here?" A single tear fell.
I stood up, finally getting annoyed by the shouting. We all walked outside and the gladers were running about frantically.
"Hey, Winston, what's going on?" I asked.
"The doors, they aren't closing." He replied before running off with a torch.
We followed him to the doors to see what he was talking about. Indeed, he was right. They should have closed by now. Suddenly there was a loud clank and we all flinched back. Then the other three doors began opening. The doors that hadn't opened ever before.
"It's not just me seeing this right now..?" I asked.
"Definitely not just you, babe." Gally whispered down to me.
"Okay, Chuck, I want you to go to the council hall, okay? Start barricading the doors." Thomas instructed.
"Okay." Chuck nodded.
"Winston, you go with him." Newt demanded.
"Got it." Winston said as they both ran off.
"Get the others. Tell them to go to the forest, go hide. Now." Gally shouted.
"Minho, grab every weapon you can find. I'll meet you at the council hall." Thomas said, "Okay, Teresa, y/n, we are gonna go get Alby. Alright? Come on."
We both nodded and then more shouts rang out.
"GRIEVERS!"
"RUN!"
Gladers with torches ran from the forest screaming for their lives. We heard a griever screech from close by and everyone whizzed round to see a griever walking round the corner of the maze.
One griever soon became several.
"ALRIGHT! EVERYBODY HIDE! GO,GO! RUN!" I screamed before running off with Thomas.
Of course, just like Thomas did in the maze, Teresa stayed to look at the creature.
"Teresa, come on. Run! Run!" Thomas grabbed her.
Some of us leaped into the corn fields. I had no idea where Gally was and my heart was pumping out of my chest.
I pulled Thomas and Teresa down into a kneel and few of the other boys followed our lead. I held a finger to my lips telling them to stay silent. We heard close by screams and griever grunts.
Suddenly a grabber came down and wrapped itself around Zart's torso.
"Zart!" I exclaimed and scurried forward to help him but it was no use. The griever had already whipped him away. "Oh god.." I tried my best not to break down into a sob.
"Go, go!" Thomas shoved us up into a run.
Once we ran back out into the open I saw Gally clambering into the box.
"Y/N!" He yelled.
"HIDE! I'LL BE FINE!" I nodded and he hastily got inside the box as we ran away.
Clint and Jeff had Alby on their shoulders.
"Alby!. Are you okay?" I questioned but he obviously was to weak to answer.
"What's going on?" Clint asked.
"They're here." Thomas replied and my stomach churned again.
"Grievers?" Jeff raised an eyebrow.
I went to answer but was cut off when a griever ran out in front of us and took down another boy. I grabbed a machete from a table and so did Thomas. All around us gladers were being killed and taken away. My heart broke for them all.
Alby limped as we helped him along. A griever stopped us and everybody fell back wards. Teresa grabbed a jar of Fry's mixture and threw it at the creature causing it to go up in flames.
"Good thinking." I nodded and she smiled slightly before we both realised what was happening.
The council room. Thats where we were all going.
I ran in front of everyone with Thomas at the very back. Teresa stayed by my side while Jeff and Clint helped Alby. But he tumbled down and we all came to a stop when a griever reached us.
"Get behind me." I said heroically with the machete stuck out. Thomas did the same beside me.
"Come on!" He threatened and I smacked his arm.
"Why would you even say that!" I hissed. I turned back to the griever just to see it had two spears in its side.
I searched to see where they had come from. It was Newt, Minho and Fry with weapons.
"Oh, how relieved I am to see you, Goldie." I laughed as Newt ran beside me.
He just chuckled in response and we sprinted to the council room where Chuck and Winston were waiting outside. The boys carefully led Alby in and I slammed the door shut and locked it with a beam of wood.
Everyone stayed silent as the grievers attempted to break down the door. Next thing we knew, one of them was on the roof. The people with weapons held them up in defence while the others stayed behind. A griever claw stuck through the roof and ripped a beam out of its place causing the whole thing to fall down on top of us.
"Shucks sake!" I groaned as we stood up again coughing.
"Is everyone all right?" Newt asked and we all mumbled different variations of 'yes'.
Another griever claw shot through the wall and most of the boys jumped out the way. Except one.
"CHUCK!" I screamed jumping forward and grabbing his hand.
"HELP!" He yelled.
"Grab him! HELP ME!" I shouted back at them all and Teresa, Minho and Thomas took a hold of his arm as well.
"Chuck, don't let go!" Thomas said.
"No shuck!" Chuck said back sarcastically.
Then there was a sudden scream and Alby ran forward smashing the stinger off the grievers leg that held Chuck. Alby continued to break the leg until it finally let go of the young boy. Chuck fell at my feet and I helped him up.
"You okay?" Thomas asked.
"I'm-" he coughed, "I'm fine. Thanks Alby."
I picked up the stinger off the floor to examine it until something else caught my eye near Alby. I quickly shoved the stinger into Chucks hand.
"ALBY! Watch out!" I yelled and Alby was pulled upwards.
Thomas and I ran forward and grabbed his shoulders in an attempt to get him out.
"Thomas, y/n, get them out." Alby whispered. "Bye. Thank you."
Then he was gone. My heart shattered and a very loud scream left my lungs. I fought every urge to fall to my knees, instead I ran outside with Thomas right behind. Both of us were angry.
"Thomas? Y/n? No, don't go out there!" Teresa pleaded.
"Y/n? No! Thomas?" Newt scurried after us making everyone else follow.
We stumbled outside and I searched and searched for the griever. They had left. All of them. Gone. There was just fire everywhere. Now, I fell to my knees. No tears left my eyes.
"Where is everybody? Who's that over there?" Chuck asked.
I didn't bother to look.
"Gally-"
Ah, of course.
There was a punch and a body hit the floor next to me. I lifted my head and Thomas groaned.
"Gally? Whoa, whoa, whoa." I quickly scurried up and pushed my boyfriend back with some other boys help.
"This is all you, Thomas. Huh? Look around!" He shouted, not even bothering to look at me.
"Back off, Gally. It's not Thomas' fault." Minho said.
"You heard what Alby said. He's one of them. He's one of them, and they sent him here to destroy everything, and now he has! Look around, Thomas! Look around!"
"Gally. Whoa, babe. Baby!! Calm down, please." I rested my hands on his chest and he stopped fighting slightly.
"He's- he's destroying everything we've ever built!!" He continued to fight.
"Hold him back!" Minho said.
Newt sighed, "What are you talking about? What's he talking about?"
"I have no clue." I hissed.
"Thomas!!" There was a shout.
We all stopped and turned to see Thomas with the stinger in his leg. He fell to his side and everyone hurried over but I stayed near Gally.
"Chuck, get the other syringe!" I ordered and he nodded.
"You guys have a choice! I'm taking control! Either join me! Or get banished at sundown with Thomas! You're decision." Gally shouted and walked off.
