Laying in Teresa's arms I opened my eyes so slightly, my breathing was a little more steady now. I stood up feeling myself being able to suddenly walk again on my two feet.

I stood behind Thomas watching as the Griever outside of the council swarmed around, everyone screamed when the griever nearly pounced at the roof, I shushed everyone quickly. Knowing that the Griever 100% now knows we are inside.

I looked up as the Griever had started crawling across the roof, " shh " I whispered before moving to the other side with everyone else. Thomas still stood in front of everyone, the loud yells echoed when the grievers claw slammed down onto the roof.

It grabbed a hold of the only thing keeping the roof from falling off, that's when it had completely ripped it out and the roof began to fall. " go! " I yelled before getting hit by the roof that flew into me, " is everyone alright? " Newt struggled to crawl up.

I coughed as I had gotten a whole bunch of dust inhaled into my lungs, I quickly crawled away when I saw the grievers claw near me.  " help! " someone screamed, " hey, grab him! " Thomas called quickly crawling to the boy. I hurried to join him about to grab the boys hand but he had gotten pulled under and away.

" hey, get away from there! " I yelled as a few guys were not really paying attention and were standing where the Griever had gone to, " Chuck! " I screamed when he was standing in the open right next to where the claw had bursted into.

" get him, get him! " Thomas called to me, Chuck screamed and began running until I saw the claw grab around the boy. " NO! " I quickly grabbed a hold of his arms pushing my feet against the ground refusing to let go of the young boy.

He screamed in fear as people began running over to help me, " help me! " I yelled to the others that were standing around still. " please, don't you dare take him! " I yelled to the Griever even tho that would obviously not work but still.

" pull him back! " Teresa called out pulling on the boys arms with the leftover arm strength she still had, " help! " Chuck cried out. " look at me Chuck, don't let go! " I said to him. " no shit! " he called out as I kind of giggled a bit before pulling even harder then I was before.

My heart skipped a beat the moment I saw the stinger come out of the claw, " ITS GONNA STING HIM! " I screamed. I couldn't watch him get stung let alone die in general.

I looked over raising my right eyebrow when I noticed Alby had started screaming, he ran over to the Griever and had begun slamming against its arm, knocking the stinger right off of the Griever, " pull! " I continued screaming.

Alby continued swinging and swinging against the arm of the Griever, until it finally had ripped off Chuck fell down onto the ground on his face almost. " Chuck are you okay?! " I sat down next to he boy as he put a little thumbs up.

I smiled happily that he was okay, and wasn't injured at all or even killed. I glanced back over to Alby when he started screaming at the Griever still, " Alby! It's gone! " I got up placing my hands on his shoulders and hugging the guy.

He deserved a hug after putting all his anger into getting rid of the Griever that just tried to kill Chuck, " thanks Alby " Chuck softly spoke after coughing for a few moments. I backed away as Alby nodded at him.

I turned around quickly when I heard the sound I didn't wanna hear again, a grievers claw was heading straight for Alby. " Alby! Watch out! " I yelled. Alby was fully grabbed and nearly thrown out the window but he grabbed onto the sides of the council building, " guys, grab him! " I ran over reaching up to the boy who's struggling.

Thomas ran up next to me grabbing onto Alby as well, " Thomas, get them out! " Alby yelled to him when I knew what was about to happen. He suddenly let go of Thomas and I and was thrown out of the council hall, " Alby! No! " I felt my heart sink into my chest.

Water filled my eyes when I heard nothing left of Alby's screams, I ran outside of the council hall with Thomas just to see the whole place up in flames and filled with the screams of the grievers that still roamed around.

I looked over when I heard someone whisper, " who is that? ". I turned my head to see some people walking over towards us. Gally, I thought when I noticed the main guy. I wiped my tears as he came closer throwing his fist into Thomas's face. " Gally! " I yelled shoving him away.

As everyone grabbed onto Gally holding him back, " this is all you! All you Thomas! " he screamed as he noticed me standing near Teresa, " -..and you! Ben said you did something to Mavis this is your fault to! " He pointed straight at me.

" it's not their fault! " Frypan yelled holding back the angry boy that just kept trying to attack Thomas, "-..you heard what Alby said! Their one of them! " he kept throwing his arms around. " they sent them here! To destroy everything, and they have! " he kept screaming louder each time.

" Gally stop! " I yelled at him feeling a little bit of guilt in my stomach, even tho I knew it wasn't my fault at all that this place was destroyed. He kept screaming and screaming, 'look around!' 'Look around!' 'This is all your fault!' .

I looked around the place, seeing it all destroyed and messed up. Everything up in flames or broken, maybe it was my fault. Maybe it was Thomas's. I looked at the stinger that Chuck held in his right hand, I grabbed it from him as I pointed it towards my leg.

I need to be able to remember, I have to be able to know what's truly happening. " Mavis? " Thomas glanced at me. " I need to remember Thomas " I spoke softly before raising the stinger up, " Mavis don't! " Chuck yelled. As the stinger stabbed into my right thigh.

" Mavis! " Newt ran over quickly hovering over me as Teresa ran and got the syringe, " don't worry I'm here Mavis " she softly spoke. Before everything went black. Suddenly all these pictures appeared in my brain.

Some kind of testing place, a whole bunch of computers that were animated to only have them in the air. A whole bunch of people around me, I noticed a women walking with a white outfit on.

" Teresa " I spoke when I saw the girl at one of the things alone with Thomas who was across from her, " Thomas.. ". " why are we doing this.. " more pictures appeared in the visions I had.

" excellent Thomas, come with me " I heard the girl whisper into Thomas's ear right next to me, " Thomas, WICKED is good " she said. " WICKED isn't good " I said to myself.

" how could this be our faults? " I said to myself, " I can't just keep watching them all die in front of me as if their just a waste to this earth! " I suddenly woke up. " hey, are you okay? " I glanced up seeing Teresa sitting above me.

" what the hell were you thinking Mavis!? " Chuck sat at the door of one of the pits, " what happened? " I pushed my hair back out of my face seeing Newt and Minho were there to.

" Gally's taking control " Newt said as I clenched my jaw a little annoyed, " he gave us a choice, either join him. Or get banished at sundown with you and Thomas " Newt explained, I slowly began getting up a little sore still in my leg.

" and the others agreed to that? " I squinted my eyes from the brightness shining into them, " Gally has everyone convinced, that you guys are the reason this all happened " Teresa tilted her head slightly, I stared at my shoes before telling them the truth, " he's been right so far ".

" what are you talking about? " Minho sat in front of the door still, " " this place, isn't what we thought it was.. alright it's not what we thought was a prison. It's a kind of test, this all started when we we're kids! Basically they'd give us these challenges, pretty much experimenting on us. Then next thing you know, people started disappearing from existence. " I breathed steadily before continuing the story.

" every month, one after another like a clockwork! That's why you guys kept getting someone new each month. " I fiddled with the bracelet on my wrist, " send them up into the Maze? " Newt questioned very curiously, " yeah, but not all of us " I nibbled my bottom lip.

" what do you mean? ", I looked up thinking of a way to explain to them about the truth more, " I'm one of them, and so is Thomas.. " I played around with the bracelet more hoping to not get yelled at, " the people who put you here... I worked with them okay! I did! " I looked over at Teresa and gulped, " I've watched you guys for years, we have " the entire time you've been here, we've been on the other side of it! "

I felt a lump in my throat feeling guilty, " and so were you Teresa.. " I gulped holding back the tears I could feel. " what? " she asked. " Teresa, we did this to them, me.. you.. and Thomas! " i felt a tear drop from my eye. " No" she shook her head having tears dropping. " that can't be true " she stared at the ground.

——

After the conversation we made a plan on how to get through Gally, I faked being fainted again. As two of the gladers came and began bringing me to the maze entrance. It hurt a little when I was thrown down onto the sand, but I sucked it up like I knew I had to.

" this is such a waste " I heard someone say, " Gally! " I could tell whoever said his name was Winston, " it doesn't feel right man " he spoke. " yeah, what if Thomas is right? " another glader joined in, I could tell my Gally's footsteps he wasn't so impressed by them at all.

" maybe he can lead us home " he said, 'home' I thought to myself. I never really knew what to refer to as home, everywhere I've been I haven't been able to call my 'home'.

" we are home " Gally continued walking, part of me wanted to get up and say something but the other half knew I couldn't mess up the plan. " Okay? ", " I don't wanna have to cross any more of those names off that wall! " Gally yelled.

" you really think banishing us, is going to solve anything? " Teresa defended, " No " he simply said. " this isn't a banishing " I was slightly confused when he said it wasn't a banishing.

" it's an offering " , " what wait- Gally, what are you doing? " Teresa was getting tied up as Gally began pacing around me, " you really think I'm gonna let them both back into the maze, after what they've done? " - " look around you" he had anger in his tone. " look at our glade ".

" this is the only way! " Gally continued on, "-..and when the Grievers get what they came here for.. " "-..everything goes back to the way it was " Gally finished, before Teresa began arguing with him. " are you listening to this? Why are you all just standing there? He's crazy " she glared.

" you shut up " Gally said, I was really getting to my last straw but I stayed where I was in the middle of the ground doing nothing. " if you stay here, the grievers are going to come back " "-..and they're gonna keep coming back until you're all dead " she had a point, " shut up! Tie them up " he yelled.

" did you hear me, I said tie them up! " I felt my arms being grabbed when I suddenly punched the one glader right in the gut before grabbing ahold of his weapon, I hit the other glader in the face as I blew my hair out of my face. Newt knocked another glader out, as Teresa kicked one

Minho placed a knife against Gally, threatening him to not move anymore. As Thomas and Frypan got Teresa untied, Chuck came running with all his stuff quickly.
