Chapter 5: Want to hear the good News or Bad News?

"Hey! Wake up!" A British boys voice says was I'm sleeping.

"Go away" I mumble into my pillow.

He takes my pillow from under me. "You have to wake up Love!"

"I don't want too.."

"Today we will answer your questions!" He says.

My head whips up so fast I nearly hit him in the head. "Really?"

He chuckles. "That got you awake."

"Well ya! I want some answers!" 

"Then get up and out of bed. I'll give you 20 minutes." He walks out.

"Only ten?!" I yelp but hes already gone. I get out of bed and change into a black dress put my hair up in a messy bun and head out to find Newt.

"Who you looking for?" Elias asks.

"Newt. Have you seen him?"

"Ya, He's at the box" Elias says pointing to Newt standing over at the box. I walk over.

"You lived!" he jokes.

"Yup! Now answers!" I say.

"Well this is the box. Every month a Glader usually a boy will come up" He says pointing.

"So I'm the first girl?" I ask.

"Yes. Now come on" He takes my hand and leads me over to the maze walls.

"This is the maze. Everyday we have some special Gladers go into the Maze. They're called Runners."

"They run the Maze? And they've found nothing?" I ask.

"Yes.. They run the Maze everyday and They have found nothing.." He sighs.

"They will find something. I know they will" I give him a small smile.

"I guess. Now Vivian this is important" He looks me in my eyes. "There are three rules of the Glade. Never ever ever go into the Maze unless your a Runner, which in your state probably won't happen. Rule two Never hurt another Glader. We need trust for this to work"

"Ok. What's the third?"

"Everyone must do their parts. No slackers. We don't have time for slackers." 

"Sound's simple enough" I note.

"Yep. Now let's go to the Homestead" We walk over to the building where I sleep.

"This is the Homestead?" I ask.

"Yup. It's where all the Keepers sleep." He says.

"It looks like the big bad wolf could blow it down" I say attempting a straight face.

Newt looks at it then me. He roles his eyes but his lips twitch. "We also have the Med hut on the top."

"Ok."

"We have the kitchen where the cooks make the food." 

"Ok. But what about all the jobs

 Builders, Sloppers, Baggers, Cooks, Med-jacks, Map makers, Track-Hoes, Blood Housers, Runners, First and Second in Command" 

"And what do they do?.."

"Builders build, Baggers deal with the dead bodies, Cooks, cook, med-jacks are doctors, Map makers make maps Track-hoes work in gardens, Blood Housers deal with killing animals, Runners run the Maze, Sloppers are the people who don't fit in anywhere else then First and Second in Command are the Leaders. Any questions?"

"What do you think I'll be?" I ask.

"Well.. You can't be a Track-Hoe, Builder, Bagger, Runner or Blood Houser. Probably a Cook."

"Or Slopper!!!" A voice from the Builders yells. All the Builders laugh. 

"I do like the Cooks" I smile.

"Your going to ignore the boys?" Newt asking pointing to the boys laughing their head off.

"It's not my problem what they think of me. They can talk all they want." I shrug.

"Wise Words with Vivian" He smiles.

"I'll be here for awhile" I smile.

"Well then. We better be getting on with our tour" He gives a small bow taking my hand.

"That's the Forest and Deadheads" He points.

My smile drops. "Deadheads?"

"Our Grave yard" 

"What?!" I yelp. "People die here?" 

"Yes."

"C-can we go" I ask.

"To the Deadheads?" He asks.

I give a small nod.

"Alright." We walk hand in hand to the dead heads. "Welcome"

I look around my eyes stopping on a worn down wooden cross in the corner. I slowly walk over to it looking down at it. It read.


George


I look up at Newt. he has tears in his eyes. "Did you know him?" 

He nods.

"I'm sorry Newt." I say taking his hand again.

"It's not your fault." He says. "Let's go find some happier memories."

"Deal" We walk away. "When do I get my job?"

"Soon Love. You have to try them all out first."

"When do I try the next one out?" I ask.

"Today. Your going to join the Med-Jacks." 


•×•

We finish the tour and I head to the Med-jacks. 

"Knock, knock, knock" I yell to the door.

"Come in!" A voice yells. I open the door.

"Hello Vivian" Jeff smiles.

"Hello Jeff" I return the smile.

"Since we currently have no one to help I'd like to check your baby if that's ok" He syas washing his hands.

"Alright." I lay down on the bed.

Jeff walks over. "Do you have any concerns right now that I should check?" He asks.

"Well.. I haven't felt baby kick in awhile.." I say.

"Ok. I'll check that. But it may also be the stress of moving." He slowly lifts my dress over my abdomen. He feels around for a bit. "Hmm" He gets up and grabs a stethoscope. He puts it on and feels around. His face lights up.

"What? What is it?!" I yell.

"I can hear a heartbeat." He puts the stethoscope in my ears and I hear my baby's heartbeat.  Loud and clear.

"It' loud. Is that good?" I ask.

"Yes. It means baby is healthy" He smiles.

Tears run down my face.

"Hey. Why are you crying its good news!" He says.

"baby's ok!" I give a small smile.

"yes. Yes baby is."

Our moment is cut off by a builder walking in. "Oy! I cut my hand on a nail."

Clint sighs walking over. "I got this."

"Actually if Vivi is up for it I think we should let her."

"Sure" I get out of the bed handing the stethoscope back. "Ok.. Lets see the cut."

He shows me his hand. "It hurts."

I look at it. It was barely a puncture. You barley hurt it! How does this hurt?!" I walk over and grab a band aid then put it on the cut. "There. All better"

The builder walks out mumbling something about oranges.

"How did I do?" I ask turning to look at the boys.

"Good. Then again almost anyone can put a band aid on." Clint says.

"Not everyone though. I'm positive at least one boy  can't put a band aid on" I say.

"Your probably right" Jeff admits with a smile.

"What do I do now?" I ask.

"Dunno. We just sit around and wait until someone needs help." Clint shrugs.

"I could get behind that" I say laying down on one of the beds. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
