dream's or nightmare's

Chapter 3

"Alright greenbean. Time to see how well you can stitch."

Clint, the med-jack who I was working with, was currently trying to get me to focus on stitching up Winston's wound . He cut open his hand on a butcher's knife. But I just couldn't. I was too busy thinking about Alex. I just couldn't get her out of my head. She was so kind and wa-

"GALLY! Are you listening?!"

My thoughts were interrupted by this meat-head, Clint, screaming in my ear.

"Huh- oh, yeah i'm listening."
I replied.

I started to stitch up Winston's hand and I was pretty good at it, but Clint kept yelling in my ear, and I couldn't focus.

After what seemed to be an eternity the lunch bell rang. Clint dropped the bandage he was holding on a table and left with me loosely following behind.

I was waiting in line when I saw Jamie talking to Zart, who had just recovered, when it looked like things were getting heated. Before I could step in, Zart was on the floor holding his face.

I watched as Alex and Alby ran up to the two. Alby helped Zart stand up, and Alex tried to calm Jamie down. It seems that only pissed him off more. He lunged at her, but before he could even come close to hitting her he was pinned to the ground with his arm so far back it looked like it could break any second.

"ALBY GET CLINT! I'LL GET HIM TO THE PIT!"

Alex commanded. Alby did as told and brought Zart back to the med-hut. Clint set his plate down and left the food line to help Zart.

She almost dragged Jamie all the way to the pit when he took a cheap shot and punched her when she wasn't looking. That's when I lost it. I dropped my plate, ran over and tackled him. I got in two good punches before I was tackled off of him. I looked up and saw Alex.

"Newt put Gally in the pit too."

She told Newt without breaking any eye contact with me, stone cold face.

"The hell? Why am I getting thrown in the pit?! I saved your ass!"
I was so confused. Why am I getting thrown in the pit? I didn't do anything.

" 'saved my ass'? You attacked another glader when I had it completely under control."

"Really? Under control? Then how come he caught you of gaurd?"

I could see her jaw clench.

"Yes. under control. It wouldn't be the first time I've been hit. And it won't be the last. That's why we have rules. You broke the rules, AFTER knowing them. So yes you're going in the pit."
She was seething.

"whatever..."

Newt came to help but I shoved him off. I walked to the pit myself.

"It's just one night. With food. You'll be fine mate. Alex is hard on everyone. She's actually really kind. Once you get to know her better. Just don't get on her bad side"

Newt tried to reassure me. I just shrugged it off and walked to the other side of the pit. After hours of sitting, being bored, hearing Alex yell at some more people, and eating, I passed out after finishing my dinner.

I woke up to Alex standing over me.

"Alright greenie. Your time in the pit is up."
She gave me a hand which I begrudgingly took. Once I was out of the pit I saw that Jamie was still in the pit.

"Why is he still in the pit and I'm not?"

"Because he attacked two gladers."
She explained.

"Now let's get you some food you're gonna need. You have a big day."

"But Jamie's still in the pit?"

"You're not going to be a bagger. You are too hot headed. So we're going to see how well you do with me today. I'll be helping you chop wood, nail them together, and make something. Let's go."

We went to get some breakfast and I noticed everyone staring at us. At Alex. They were staring at Alex. I didn't know why but after we sat down she glared at them and they all stopped staring.

After we ate she led me to the woods. She handed me an axe and we began cutting down some small trees. After an hour of doing that we picked up the wood and carried it out to the far east wall, just right of the maze opening.

"Alright let's see if you can make a small table without putting a nail or two in your hand. Or breaking anything at least."

As we started I surprisingly only hit my thumb twice with a hammer. To which Alex laughed at. Both times.

We worked through the day. Only stopping for lunch. I had made about three tables and four benches, while Alex made 5 tables and 5 benches. When I looked at her in surprise, she had the smuggest look on her face.

The dinner bell rang and we headed off to eat. Frypan made mashed potatoes, chicken, and green beans.

"Hey look greenbean's eating green beans"
Minho snarked. I glared at him but it only made him laugh harder. But when Alex glared he shut up immediately. After we ate we all headed off to bed.

"Come on gally we need to leave!"

"Ok. ok. Yeah, let's go."

We started running when all of a sudden me and Alex dropped to the ground shaking. Everything hurts. It felt like I was on fire.

I saw Alex getting dragged away and I screamed for her.

"NO DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER! LEAVE HER ALONE! PLEASE!"

Then it all went blank.

"HEY WAKE UP! GALLY WAKE UP!"

Alex shook me awake. When I opened my eyes it was still dark. I looked at Alex. She looked panicked.

"What happened, you ok?"
She asked me

"Yeah, yeah I'm ok."

"Gally, don't lie to me. Are you ok?"

"No. I had a nightmare."

"Ok. tell me what happened."

"We were running."

"We?"
Alex asked.

"Yeah. me and you. I don't know who but we were running. Then we dropped. Everything was hurting. I saw you get dragged away and I screamed for you. I don't know why but when I saw you getting dragged away I panicked. I was more worried than angry. I think I was worried about never seeing you again."

She stayed silent. She looked deep in thought. Then she asked me something strange.

"Gally what were we wearing?"

I was confused but answered.

"A white shirt and gray pants. Why?"

"I had the same dream."

"What when?"

"Just now. I woke up when I heard you yelling.."

I was so confused. Why did we have the same dream? And at the same time. Everything about this is weird. I don't know what's happening. I have no control over anything in my life right now. I just want answers. But I don't think I'll be getting any soon.
