The Glader: Newt x OC

Things Are Changing:

"Put him here," Jeff said and spread a clean towel over one of he bed. The four gladers gently put Alby's body on it.

I cut away Alby's shirt and gagged. The puncture wound on his chest looked very similar to the one Ben had. Alby was stung. I cleaned the gash on his head with some warm water and alcohol that had come up in the box. Jeff cleaned around the stab wound, "He's been stung."

"What do we do?" I asked. "We can't."

Everyone in the room knew what I meant.

Gally had called a Glade meeting so we tied Alby down just in case and complied with his demand.

Gally yelled, "Listen if you want to throw the newbie a parade that's fine!"

I rolled my eyes. Gally had been going back and forth for almost half an hour. Molly and Minho sat next to me, both obviously not enjoying this more than I was.

"But if there is one thing I knew about the maze it is that you do not-"

              Gally was interrupted by a rumbling followed by an alarm. The alarm.

"What the heck?" I asked as I ran to the door of the meeting hut.

"The box. It's coming back up!" Chuck said.

"It shouldn't be!" Minho said and ran after Molly.

The box doors were sliding open. Voices chattered with confused shouts of "What the shuck?", "It's only been three days!", "Why is it coming back already?" Gally and Newt made it first and opened the lift.

Newt hopped inside.

"Newt what do you see?" My brother asked.

Newt looked up at us, "it's a girl."

He was right. A girl with brown hair lay on the floor of the box. A piece of paper was in her hand.

"I think she's dead," Newt stepped towards her.

"What's in her hand?" Gally asked. Newt gently took the slip of paper, unfolded it, and read, "She's the last one ever. What the heck does that mean?" At that moment the girl gasped. Everyone around the box, including me, jumped back a bit.

"Thomas," She gasped and then passed out again.

I looked over at Thomas. He looked at me and then back at her. Two boys hopped down into the lift and hoisted her body out. 

                I led them to the med-hut where they put her in the other room.

Thomas, Newt, and Minho walked in.

"Jeff? What's going on?" Newt asked.

Jeff shrugged, "Hey man. I got my job the same way you did."

"I think she's been drugged," I blurted after checking the girls eyes. They were dilated slightly.

"Drugged?" Minho asked.

"Yes. All of us came up in that box. Everyone came to in the box. Why is she out cold for longer?" I asked. "Her pupils are a bit dilated. Could be the lighting but if not, then she's been doped up."

We all looked at the girl lying on the bed.

"Do you recognize her?" Newt asked Thomas.

Thomas shook his head, "No."

"Really? Because she seemed to recognize you."

"What about the note?"

I took the note out of my pocket and handed it to Newt.
