Chapter 18

There's a room with Teresa's name on it and only one bed within (I guess when they said 'ladies' they meant 'lady's'), another room was full of bunk beds though, just the right amount for the rest of us.

I wonder why Teresa has a seperate room? It could be because she's a girl, but I am too...what about me...

I shrug it off when I feel someone coming up behind me, I turn and find Newt looking at me with his worried eyes.

I smile, but his face doesn't change. "What's up?" I ask him.

His mouth frowns a bit and steps closer "Are you alright?" He asks, still frowning.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine....why?" I lie, but I don't like it when he worries.

"You looked scared at dinner time..." he proceeds.

"Well, yeah, we've been brought to this nice house and told there's other mazes, of course I'm scared, we have no idea how long this'll last or who these people are." I state.

He just frowns at me and leans in to give me a hug. I let him, he's my best friend after all.

We let go and walk into the room with all the bunks, the boys had left a bed for me that was the most isolated so that I didn't have to be too close to the boys, but one was going to be sleeping above me still.

I reach for spare sheet and tuck it in under the bunk above mine to make a curtain around my bed for privacy and because something made me feel as though it's what I've always done since I was a kid.

Thomas came over and kissed me goodnight, then everyone got comfortable and the lights were turned off.

'Goodnight's where heard from each glader as they settled and soon the room had fallen silent.

I was so exhausted I fell a sleep within minutes.

.........

There was a bang, it hadn't seemed to have woken anyone else up, but it had woken me.

I lean over and check the time, 3am my watch shon.

I slowly slip out from my bed and shine a torch around, nothing, only sleeping graders.

Bang

I spin around, there was a small barred window, I slowly step towards it.

Bang bang bang

I stop, there's a voice, it's so soft...

'Come closer....' it whispered.

This made my skin prick up in small bumps.

'Come closer..' it said slightly louder and I though I saw something move.

"Come closer!" The voice yelled and a face popped up into view, hands wrapped around the bars, dripping with blood and covered in sores.

The face was the same, blue veins etched their way up the face, blisters covered the skin and blood dripped from random spots.

I could tell I wasn't the only one awake now, very other glader had woken at the scream to come closer.

My hand was shaking with the torch, everyone else stood still, unable to move.

Then all of a sudden the face was gone. The gladers started to gain movement and speech. They spoke, but to me it was all muffled, I could tell they were scared though.

Arms grabbed me and shook me gently.

"Sophie! Sophie are you alright?" I look around and see Thomas, I instantly become calmer.

I nod, "Good." He pulls me tight.

I hear a click and push away from Thomas. I walk to the door and slowly turn the nob, it doesn't move. I try again, harder, but still nothing... it was locked.

Other gladers tried, each one getting panicked again as they felt trapped and the room started feeling clostrapheobic.

"Stop!" I heard Minho yell. "Everyone just sit down, they won't keep us locked up for ever, just calm down."

Everyone slowly made their way to their beds and sat in silence.

I sat with Thomas on his bed and Newt and Minho sat in their bed next to us.

They tried to get me to tell them what happened with the thing at the window, but I told them they had seen as much as me and the conversation died.

...

And hour must have passed until we heard the next click, signalling the door was unlocked, no one had fallen asleep, they were all use to sleepless nights so it didn't bother them too much.

Minho was the one to get up and check the door.

It opened, the room was dark, very dark, no light shone inside.

Newt walked out with Minho, Tommy and I close behind.

"I'll find the light switch." Newt says and makes his way around the edge of the room to find the switch.

I flick my torch on, nothing happens, I try again, still nothing. How'd it break?

"Aah" A British accent yells from across the room.

"What is it?!" Minho yells back.

"There, there's something in my way! It's like it-it's hanging from the roof!"

"Can you go around it? We need the lights and the torches don't work." Thomas answered.

"I'll try..." We heard a few more yells and then a click, the lights flickered on.

Gasps filled the room as people's eyes adjusted to the brightness.

"Wh-what is th-that?!" Someone asked.

"It's a person!"

"It's not a person! It's a lot of people!"

"Who are they?"

"Why are they on the roof?"

"I crashed into that!" This was Newt, his face had drained of colour and filled with shock and disgust.

We walked around the room and checked for other strange things, everyone keeping their distance from the bodies hanging from above.

After looking around for a while people started heading back to the room, feeling disgusted and tired.

No one knew what to do with the bodies to we closed the bedroom door to prevent any smells that might come from the carcasses.

Everyone went to their beds and slowly we all fell asleep.
