Chapter 20

~ MINHO'S POV ~

"I think it's time we find out what we're really up against."
Thomas said.

I was still skeptical of what happened between Alex and him. Alex was having another memory. But I don't know if Thomas was. I don't think he even has any memories or even knows that Alex gets them. But ignoring the thought, I agree.

"Alright. But you're not going back there alone. Meet us in the woods in half an hour."

And with that me and Alex walked away to gather some gladers for the trip.

"So.... did you have another memory?'
I asked Alex.

"Yeah. It was weird."

"How? Who was in it?"

"It was an older man and woman, I think they were married. And then there was me and.... Thomas. But we were younger at the time."

I looked at her in pure shock.

"So does this mean you and Thomas are siblings?"

"I guess but I don't know. Can we not talk about it right now, my head is spinning."
She said a little irritated.

So I dropped it...... For now.

As we walked to the runners hut I saw Thomas. I looked at him then to Alex. That's when I realized how similar they look.

As we walked towards him he turned around but stopped when he saw Fry, Zart, and Winston.

"Will this be enough?"
Alex asked.

"Okay. Let's go."
He nodded.

We walked toward the outskirts of the forest and looked around. When we saw no one was really looking we ran into the maze. When we got there we were all tense. Well except for Alex and Thomas. Which I can kind of understand.

"Come on."
I directed when I noticed them slow down to look around.

As we ran I turned towards Alex and whispered "you know Gally's not going to like this right?"

She didn't respond. Just gave me a 'im aware but dont care' look.

As we turned the corner we saw it. The dead griever squished between the walls. It had a leg sticking out. The sight sent shivers down all of our backs.

"That's disgusting."
Zart said. It echoed against the concrete maze.

"There's something in there."
Alex said.

"You mean besides a griever pancake?'
Fry jokes.

As we all pried in to get a closer look, sure enough a blinking light was seen. Alex stepped closer which made me nervous.

"Whoa hey what are you doin?'
Thomas asked her. She looked at him like he was stupid. As she went to reach her hand the griever started moving. I grabbed her and pulled her away knowing that if Gally found out she got hurt he would have my head.

"I thought you said it was dead!"
Fry panicked.

"You think it was a reflex?'
Zart questioned.

"You hope."
Winston replied.

"Okay, come on, let's try and pull it out."
Thomas said.

He and Alex both walked up to its leg that stuck out and we followed. As we pulled and pulled finally the leg finally gave way and we stumbled to the ground.

"You ok Fry, Minho?"
Alex asked.

"Yeah I'm good."
Fry said.

I gave a nod and walked up to the peace that was blinking. It was covered in muscle, flesh, and some kind of goo. As I pulled the stuff off we groaned and gagged. It was disgusting.
