"Gally, pull him out," Newt said once the box was open. The boy looked up at us confused.
Gally jumped into the box before saying, "rise and shine, greenie." We pulled him out and he stood there looking around. I looked towards Newt before silently counting down until the greenie took off. Just as I predicted, he sprinted to the Maze doors, but he didn't last long since he tripped.
"Alright, greenie. I'm (Y/N). I'm the co-leader. This is the second in command." I grabbed his arm while lifting him out of the dirt.
"The name's Newt, greenie."
"Why do you keep calling me 'Greenie'? Where am I? Why can't I remember anything?"
"All newbies are greenies. We call this the Glade. That's because of the creators. They put us here. Anything else?" I said as we led him towards the hammocks.
"When will I know my name?"
"It'll come back in a day or two. Shuck, Alby told me you couldn't remember your name for a week, (Y/N/N)!" Newt laughed, pointing at me.
"I will kill him."
"No harming another glader," Chuck said from his hammock.
"Chuck, you should be working," Newt said. "Here. You two get acquainted. Your bunk is next to Chuck's."
"Tonight there's gonna be a bonfire. It's just some fun where we fight around the fire and drink Gally's mix. We'll see you there. Chuck, you wanna tell him the jobs?" I said to which Chuck nodded spastically. I tilted my head before bidding my leave to the two newbies and walking to the map room with Newt.

After dinner and after the doors closed, we started a large fire in the center, and Gally already challenged Ben to a flight. I was sitting on a log off to the side of the main events, and I had an easy view of the fights. Newt sat next to me while handing me a jar of Gally's concoction.
"Thanks, Newt."
"Don't mention it, love. Who's gonna win?"
"Gally. Is that even a question? Gally always wins. I'd pay to see greenie go against him."
"What about me?"
"Gally! Take on the green bean!" This led to Gally and the greenie dancing around the fire before Gally pushed him down. "I said take him on not kill the kid."
The greenie was mumbling something before he jumped up, looking around. "My name is Thomas!"

Right now, I was hiding in my treehouse having a slight panic attack. Alby died, the doors won't close, and the boys and new girl are causing chaos in the field. Newt is trying to get everyone into the Slammer with the help of the other keepers minus Gally. He ran into the maze I think.
In the distance, I hear Newt yelling for me. I got a random surge of confidence as I jumped down and ran towards his voice while wielding one of the spears we made. "What's the plan, Newt?"
"Do you have a better one than hiding in the Slammer?"
"As a matter of fact, yes. Help spread the word to get everyone up to my treehouse. Tell them once it fills, start climbing trees as high as possible. Whoever wants to join can come with me; I'm going after the grievers."
With the Gladers up in the trees minus the Keepers, Thomas and myself the grievers came rolling into the Glade. Winston, who was near the East door, shouted that he hears their wiring from around the corner. Newt and I were in the middle of the field in front of the North door along with Thomas and Minho.
"Are we sure this is the best option?" Minho practically yelled. Some of the Gladers in the trees began to scream, so we knew there were grievers already in the Glade.
"It's the only option until we get enough time to get out of this shucking place without being stung by the grievers." We all took off towards the mechanical animals. Each of us split off to take on different grievers. After I killed one of the monsters, I could see Chuck struggle as one of the grievers spotted him.
I ran over to help just as Thomas and Newt also saw him struggling against it. Thomas and Newt immediately attacked the griever while I climbed the tree to help Chuck get back on the branch. I pulled him to me as I leaned against the trunk. I pulled my legs up along with Chuck's when I noticed the griever become less interested in the boys and more so with us.
"Newt! Thomas! Do something!" I yelled as I moved my body to protect Chuck more. I hear the boys running, but I also hear the wiring of the mechanical beast behind me. I look at Chuck before noting his widened eyes staring at the griever behind me. I leaned in to whisper "Chuck, I want you to climb up to that branch as slowly as possible. Got that?" He nodded prior to grabbing at the branch and lifting himself to it.
I reached to grab a branch opposite of Chuck before quickly swinging my body around the griever and stabbing it with a stray branch. I looked back at Newt and Thomas who stood with their jaws open. "Close your mouths or you'll catch flies."
"We didn't see any more of those shanks. Ready to make a run for it?" Newt grabs the stick I was holding, and he replaces it with a stake with both ends sharpened. Thomas went around to rally the guys. Newt looks into my eyes and notes that they are still bloodshot and puffy from witnessing Alby's death. He slowly grabs my hand. "We've got this; you and me'll lead them out of this maze. Good that?"
"That's not what I'm worried about now." He tilts his head in question. "What if there is nothing outside the Glade? What if everything else is ruined or non-existent anymore?"
"Whatever is out there, we'll face it together."
"Together."
