NEWT POV:
I looked at the greenie.
"But" I said turning to face everyone.
"See those guys" I said pointing to the runners.
The greenie turned around looked.
"There by the fire" I said still pointing.
The greenie shifted to get a better look.
"Those are the runners, and that guy in the middle. That's Minho. He's the keeper of the runners" I said.
Minho finished eating and put his plate down.
"Every morning when those doors open they run the maze" I said pointing at the maze doors.
"Mapping it, memorizing it trying to find a way out" I said.
"How long have they been looking" asked the greenie turning to face the maze.
"3 years" I said.
"And they haven't found anything" asked the greenie.
"It's not easy as said and done" I said turning to face the maze.
"Listen" I said pointing up.
The maze was making sounds.
"That's maze, changing" I said.
"Changes every night" I said putting my hand down.
"How is that even possible" asked the greenie.
"No idea but it's also our job to keep them here" I said.
"What" asked the greenie.
"We are half Griever" I said.
"Half griever" asked the greenie.
"Yep, it's our job to keep them here" I said.
"What about every one else" asked the greenie.
"They're all human, we are the halfings" I said.
I took another sip of my drink and set it down.
"Do they know" asked the greenie.
"No, I kept it a secret. You almost blew it" I said.
"Sorry" said the greenie.
"It's fine, every one acts scared when they first come up" I said.
"Any way the truth is the runners are the strongest and fastest of them all and it's a good thing for them two" I said.
THOMAS POV:
"Cause if they don't make it back before those doors close then they are stuck out there for the night and no human has survived a night in the maze" said Newt pointing at the maze.
He put his hand down. Newt took another sip of his drink.
"What happens to them" I asked.
"Grievers, they won't hurt us since we are half griever but they will kill humans. Of course no human has seen one and live to tell about it" said Newt.
We were silent.
"Well I'll explain more later but that's enough questions for now. Come on you're suppose to be the guest of honor" said Newt looking at me.
"No, no" I said.
"Come on let me show you around" said Newt.
He stood up and helped me up. We started walking around the crowd of people.
"There we got the builders" said Newt pointing to some people.
Newt put his hand down.
"They're pretty good with their hands but not a lot going on up stairs" said Newt pointing at his head.
Newt put his hand down and we kept walking.
"And then we have Winston, he's the keeper of the slices" said Newt pointing at the slices.
"And then we have two medjacks, Clint and Jeff" said Newt point with both his hands.
"Oh hey" said one.
"What's up" said the other as they walked past us.
Newt put his hands down.
"They spend most of their time bandaging up the slices" said Newt.
"What if I wanna be a runner" I asked.
Newt sighed.
"Did you not listen to what I said earlier? You don't want to be a runner believe me. Besides you have to be chosen" said Newt.
"Chosen by who" I asked.
A man was shoved into me and I almost tripped. Newt stepped back a little. I caught myself and stood up.
