Ably took one look at the med hut and shook his head, they all knew the temper of each one of those girls and feared them when angry. Ably knew that he could count on Scar and when he heard Aliea's voice he definitely knew that it was handled. While the girls in the med hut were talking and waiting for the unknown girl to wake up, Ably had joined Minho and Newt who were trying to get one of the newcomers to calm down.
"Where is my sister?!?!"The boy who punched Newt asked as he nearly lunged for them through the bars of their confines.

"Calm down." The other boy stated as he shook his head. "Look I'm..." He started to say but was cut off by Alby.

"Okay like your friend here said, calm down. Your sister is in the med hut with the other girls." Alby stated. "Now we are going to let you out, there will be no hitting, Newt will take you to your sister after I show you both around." He explained as he placed a hand on Newt's shoulder. "Those girls are our family so you can understand why we wanted to keep you away from them." Ably added as he unlocked the cage and helped each one out.

Minho was off to the side watching, for some reason the doors to the maze had yet to open and it had made him feel uneasy, though he was listening to the conversion one would think that the older male was lost in thought. That was how he was, he may have been quiet but he just like his sister saw everything.

"Do either of you remember your names?" Alby asked as he nodded to Newt who started talking to Minho. "Follow me, and I'll explain how things work here in the glade." He offered.

The two males were quiet as they watched the who they presumed to be the leader lead them away from the cage and towards a huge tree that clearly looked like it was used to scout out the area. As Ably showed the new boys around and explained the rules as well as who was in charge other than him, the group of gladers watched from afar. Yes they had three new gladers but they also had their girls back. It wasn't until later that evening when everyone would find out the price they had paid for their loyalty for the girls. Everyone was quiet as they sat around the fire, the girls walked out of the hut with the new female next to them, Aliea caught her brother's eyes and smiled at him but he wasn't the only eye she caught.

"Ably we need to talk." Aliea stated as she glanced at the group of boys. "You sacrificed anything for us?" She asked not only him but the whole group. "Well we know what the sacrifice was." Aliea offered loudly as she nodded to the new girl. "This is Rilie and she had a message in her hands." She told them.

"You sacrificed a month's worth of food for them." Rilie read from the note in her hand, the young woman never looked up as she felt someone move towards them. However she did take a step back. "What came up with them is what you get for that month, Did you make the right choice? Would you choose the same choice again if you knew?" She read as she bumped into whoever was behind her.

"It's okay, they don't bite." A soft giggle came from Sylia who was standing right behind the new girl. "Well they better not!" She added as her eyes landed on her older brother and his busted lip."Excuse me will you?" She added not giving anyone a chance to speak up, as the small blue eyed blonde made her way over to her brother she glared up at him. "Newt what the hell happened to your lip?" Sylia asked.

All the boys glanced away from where Sylia stood with her brother and towards the group of girls that Alby now stood by. He had gently taken the note from Riley and looked over it himself, he had completely forgotten about Newt's busted lip. So when Sylia questioned her twin Alby's head snapped up towards her and Newt then towards Gally who had already started to make his way towards the pair. Gally knew the moment Newt said something or even tired to lie about how it happened Sylia was going to murder the person who had laid a hand on her older brother.

"It's nothing Sy." Newt spoke up as he pulled his sister into a hug and looked at the two new boys. "Run." He mouthed as he pulled away from the hug and smiled down at her.

"Hey sleeping beauty?" Gally stated, stepping into her view. He smiled down into her baby blue eyes and smiled charmingly at her before pulling her into his arms. "We missed you, I missed you." Gally whispered the last part into her hair.

A light chuckle had slipped from her lips as she pulled back and looked up into Gally's eyes, there was a hint of mischievousness in her eyes as she tilted her head before giving him a small kiss on the lips. It was a nice little distraction on her and her boyfriend's part but it wasn't going to work.

"Nice Gally, but Love it's not going to stop me from finding out who punched my brother." Sylia had spoken to him in a soft, nearly innocent tone.

As this little conversation was going on the two new males had made their way towards the group, Minho and Alby both knew that they needed to meet the other girls, after spending the day learning the rules of the glade, and who the leaders were. Minho stood next to his sister as she leaned against him, her eyes half closed as she listened to the conversations that were going on around them.

"This Aliea the other leader I told you both about." Alby stated loud enough for the whole group to hear. "That over there worrying about her brother is Sylia, this is Scar." He offered as he placed a hand on the red haired girl's head and ruffled her hair. "And this little one is Mini Mouse." Alby added as he nudged Lavender.

"Alby stop." Scar swatted at the younger boy's hand as he playfully glared at him.

"It's nice to meet you both, I'm Kairo." Kairo spoke up as he offered Aliea and then Scar his hand, though he did toss a nervous glance back at the blonde girl in Gally's arms. "Question will she really murder the one who punched him?" He asked.

"Nico, it's a pleasure to meet you all." The older of the two boys spoke up as he introduced himself.

As the three girls glanced at the two boys, Riley rushed forward and threw her arms around her older twin, she made sure her face was hidden in his chest so that no one would see her cry. When she had woken in the med hut surrounded by the girls all she could remember was her name and her brother.

"Lavender." Lav stated almost too softly to hear as she watched everyone be reunited with their siblings, she couldn't but feel betrayed by what little she had learned before being put back under. "My name is Lavender, but keep calling me whatever you want." She added with a bright smile before giving the girls around her as well as Alby and Minho a hug. "I'm turning in for the night." Lav retorted as she headed to the hut that the girls shared, she was pretty sure that Sylia would be staying with Gally tonight, even though her brother was often set against it.

Aliea shook her head before she watched Gally toss Sylia over his shoulder and Newt pinch the bridge of his nose.

"Let me just break his nose!" Sylia yelled as she was being carried away. Her small frame wiggling around on Gally's shoulder. "No one lays a hand on my brother and gets away with it. You hear me Kairo. Your dead meat." She yelled as her voice started to fade.

There was a chorus of laughter and a small fit of giggles from the gladers as they watched the scene. When Minho nudged his sister towards the hut, she shook her head and hugged him. Scar told the group goodnight as well before heading that way to join Aliea, but stopped and turned back towards the group.

"Rilie, you'll sleep in our hut with us. The boys sleep out here in the hammocks." Scar offered as she waited for the younger girl to join her. "Aliea will join us soon, I promise." She added on as she waited for Rilie to join her.

The dark haired girl glanced up at her brother who simply gave her a reassuring nod and sent her towards the redhead, though he watched as the other boy Nico watched his younger sister and wondered if he should be overprotective.

"Goodnight Min." Aliea stated as she glanced at Alby and nodded. "Can we talk for a moment?" She asked him softly, not wanting the other gladers to know the situation.

"Of course, shared leadership, remember." Alby teased her, but when he saw how serious she was he dropped the teasing tone and nodded. "Alright I'll meet you by the tree." He added, she gave him a quick nod as she walked that way.

Both Minho, Nico, Kairo and Alby all watched her walk away with only a torch to guide her, Kairo started to step forward to follow her when he was stopped by Minho placing a hand on his chest, the older male shook his head as he looked at Kairo.

"So you're just going to let your girlfriend walk alone in the dark?" Kairo asked, getting a little upset that they were letting a girl walk out into the darkness alone.

Alby laughed especially when he saw the look on Minho's face, then he waved the other boys off.

"Everyone turn in. It's been a long couple days." Alby piped up as he started walking towards the tree. "Minho, show them the way to their beds, please." He added as he walked towards the torch light.

"First of all Gross!" Minho retorted as he tried not to gag at the thought of what Kairo had just said. "Secondly she is my sister, and watch yourself Sy will get you back for Newt. Now follow me." He tacked on while leading the boys to the hammocks.

"So the girls sleep in the hut and we sleep out here?" Nico asked as he glanced back at the retreating figures, then back at Minho. "You don't know me do you?" Nico asked as there was a slight smirk that had started to appear at the corner of his mouth.

They had nearly made it to the hammocks when Minho glanced up at Nico, they younger male stood there looking over Nico's features as if he was trying to remember where he had seen that smirk before it hit him the same way it had when he had first seen Aliea.

"Yes it's safer for them there." Minho had started to say as a smile made his way on to his lips. "Nico so Mini me wasn't dreaming." He chuckled as he pointed out two free hammocks.

"Mini Me?" Both Nico and Kairo spoke at the same time.

"Aliea, I often call her mini me." Minho quipped with a laugh. "She'll be happy to know you're really and not imagined. Now get some rest you will need it for tomorrow." He told them both as he climbed into his own bed and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile at the tree Aliea sat with her feet hanging off the edge as she watched the stars, it was one of the things she loved to do at night in the glade. However the young woman often wondered why they had been chosen and placed her. As Alby sat down next to her he offered her a warm reassuring smile, Alby was like another brother to her hell most of the boys were. As she leaned forward Alby watched the confusion and anger flit across her face.

"Tiny's real name is Lavender. She told us that she had started to come to and there was a boy about our age who was with her." Aliea started to say, the anger in her eyes wasn't for herself but for Lavender.

"What are you saying Squirt?" Alby asked as he looked over the edge of the fencing around the top of the tree, though he glanced at Aliea out of the corner of his eye.

"She said there was a boy that she is pretty sure is her brother was next to her and that the last thing she remembered was him calling her Lav and freaking out." Aliea retorted as she sighed angrily. "Alby if he shows up in that box.." She quipped as she stared in the direction of where the box rose from every once a month. "I'll be his ass myself, did you see the hurt in her eyes? I can only imagine how betrayed she feels." Aliea added as she stood up and started to head over towards the ladder. "Ah Alby Nico is mine and Minho's brother and thank you for getting us home.'' She offered as she climbed down and started to walk away only stopping to yell Alby Goodnight which ended up in a chorus of Good Nights throughout the glade.

It wasn't long before everyone was settled and both leaders started to wonder what the next month without supplies would bring. Both of them knew that they were going to have to talk with the group in the morning and start to set up rations until the month was over. None of the boys told the girls about the female scream they had heard from the maze the night before they had been returned to the glade. As these thoughts filled both Alby's head and Aliea's they knew this next month with three extra mouths was going to be tight with what they had on hand but they could do it.

Several months had passed and the gladers had made it through the month without supplies, it almost seemed like they were being tested again as they fought to get along with the new members of their group. Sylia had kept her promise of breaking Kairo's nose for putting his hands on her brother, however after that the two seemed to get along quite well which had upset Gally. Newt had taken him aside to explain once again that she only carried for him, Gally's attitude would change when a new gladers arrived and he often just wanted to keep his sister and Sylia hidden away from the others but he also knew that the young woman was only being friendly and helping Nico and Kairo get a handle on things. So it was no surprise when Sylia smacked one of the two in the back of the head as if they were a little brother.

As Sylia glanced up from showing the guys how to properly make the food for the day, she felt eyes on her and glanced around, only to see Gally staring at her as her brother walked off laughing and shaking his head. Gally stood there leaned against one of the trees his arms crossed as he nodded his head at her, Sylia gave him one of her sweet smiles that she had reserved just for him.

"Hey Fry?" Sylia called out for one of the other boys. "Can you take over teaching these two? I have something I need to attend to." She replied with a mischievous giggle as Gally walked off.

Frypan knew that giggle, it was one the girls had often shared when they were up to something, somehow the new girl Rilie fit in perfectly with the other four and if often scared the group of boys. It was like they were waiting for the other shoe to drop and when it never did it put them on high alert with the girls. Frypan simply nodded his head as he watched the older girl rush off to find Gally, as he shook his head he turned back to Kairo and Nico and picked up where Sylia had left off. As Sylia snuck through the woods she watched where Gally was going, when she had made it to the last place she had seen him her eyes narrowed and she placed her hands on her hips as she was lost in thought thinking about where he could have gone. Gally stood where he had moved off to just before Sylia had arrived at the same place, he had been close enough to hear her giggle and knew she would come looking for him, to make sure he was okay.

As Gally snuck up behind her he was as quiet as he could be, waiting to see if she had heard him. When Sylia had no response he crept even closer to the blonde haired girl a sly smirk graced his lips as he wrapped his arms around her waist and jumped into the small pond that wasn't too far from the camp. When the pair came back up for air Sylia let out a scream of shock and terror. The sound nearly sent everyone rushing towards the pod until Aliea called them back to work.

"It's just Sylia and Gally." The raven haired girl stated as she moved through the camp checking on everyone.

Minho and one of the other runners had just returned as they heard Aliea speak up to the group, a chuckle came from the pair as they heard what she had said, Minho glanced over with Frypan and nodded to his sister as he told the boy with him to go ahead.

"So how is our brother doing in the kitchen?" Minho teased slightly as Aliea approached him. Though the look in her eyes didn't go unnoticed. "What's up Squirt?" He asked her.

"I want you to see if Nico has what it takes to be a runner, if he doesn't then we will have him try out everything until we know what his place here in the glade is." Aliea stated as she watched the three males preparing the food. The raven haired girl had noticed when Kairo glanced up. "Take Kairo along as well, give them both a chance." She added as her cheeks started to grow warm when she made eye contact with Kairo.

Minho leaned forward as he placed his face into his sister's field of view, a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he couldn't help but laugh at her reaction.

"Awww Does Mini Me have a crush?" Minho teased his younger sister. "Fine I'll see how they fare." He added as he poked Aliea on the cheek thinking it was cute that his sister was blushing.

"I do not have a crush, there is nothing to crush over when you are dating said crush!" Aliea retorted as she stormed off to find something to do.

"Fine I'll see how ... Wait WHAT?!?!."He added as he poked Aliea on the cheek thinking it was cute that his sister was blushing but cut himself off when she admitted that she and Kairo were seeing each other. "NO! you're too young!" Minho called after her as he started to follow her.

Aliea rolled her eyes as she moved to one of the builders to see if they needed help with anything, as Minho caught up to her he stood in her way.

"Did you hear what I said Ally?" He asked as he crossed his arms.

"Yes Min Min and you forget we are the same age, besides everyone including our older brother knows." Aliea stated as she kissed her brother on the cheek. "This is why you were the last to know." She added with a soft laugh.

Minho stood there in complete shock that his twin was with someone, he knew that everyone knew Nico and Rilie had grown closer and soon they had let everyone know they were together. Even her brother was okay with that, but what had shocked Minho the most was that out of everyone here she was with one of the new gladers, she had always said male in the glade was like a brother to her.

Several months had passed Minho had expected that Kairo wasn't going anywhere and he made his sister happy. That was the reason Minho had spoken with Alby and Newt about making Kairo anything but a runner, he didn't want his sister to have to deal with that loss, when she often helped with runners that were stung. Nico had surprised everyone when it was clear he could handle being a runner. Soon the third anniversary of being in the glade arrived Alby and Aliea had decided to have a celebration, it was planned that there would be a bonfire with food and drink. As everyone worked to get things ready the alarm that let everyone know the box was coming up started to sound, everyone rushed forward to see what was coming up. As the group of girls stood mixed in with the boys they all could hear the screams from a boy within the box however what they hadn't heard was the female that was huddled in the corner with her hands over her ears. As the cage was opened the boy glanced up at the crowd that surrounded them, he hadn't even noticed the young woman in the box with him. As the boy was pulled from the box he had taken off running with the boys yelling and laughing at him.

While this took place Aliea and Sylia had dropped down into the box to speak with the young female, they knew how she felt and wanted to comfort her. Scar stood just above the box with her hand stretched to the girl.

"Come on, it's okay, they're bark is worse than their bite." Aliea offered with a reassuring smile.

The female nodded as she glanced up at the two girls that were around the box and the two in the box with her, she decided to take the help that was offered to her. As she stood up and took Scar's hand she felt a pair of muscular hands pull her up which caused her to panic, the last thing she remembered was seeing a small figure standing over the boy who had been in the box with her.

"Well that definitely didn't go as planned." Nico stated as the new girl went limp in his arms. He wasted no time in scooping her up into his arms. As he glanced back over his shoulder he saw the smallest of the girls standing over the new male. "Ally you may want to handle that." He called out to his sister as he headed to the med hut with Rilie and Sylia close behind him.

As Aliea and Scar pulled themselves from the box their eyes widened at what they were seeing, Lav was face to face with the newcomer. As the boy started to stand up Lavender
punched him in the face, busting his lip, blooding his nose and giving him a black eye.

The pair rushed forward to pull Lav from the pair when Gally pulled her away from the boy, everyone stood over the now bloodied and unconscious boy.

"Mouse what the hell?" Newt called out to the angry female, but stopped when he had seen the tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Take him to the cage, let Aliea and the girls handle this." Alby stated as he glanced at the small group. "Everyone get back to work, we have plans for tonight, remember." He ordered.

Gally glanced between the three females and sighed as he looked down at Lav, and kissed her forehead like a brother would.

"Hey I'm sure whatever set you off because of the greenie we can settle it." Gally stated before making sure that Aliea and his sister had a good hold on Lav.

As the pair of girls watched Gally walk off, Aliea turned to Lav with a questioning look, it hadn't taken long before the three girls had started their walk to the med hut to check on the new female arrival. On the walk back Lavender had started to speak up.

"That's my brother." Lav spoke softly as she confided in the two girls.

After the words had left the younger of the three girls lips it caused the older two to stop in their tracks. Scar and Aliea glanced at each other as they realized what had set Lav off. Her older brother was here, and he had sent her back into the maze not even a year ago after they four girls had disappeared.

"Scar, take her back to the hut. I need to go see Alby." Aliea growled. She didn't even give Scar a chance to reply as she disappeared and headed towards the cage.

"Come on Mini, let Aliea handle it. You don't have to see him until you are ready." Scar stated in a gentle tone as they arrived at the med hut.

Aliea had met up with Alby just outside of the cage, her eyes narrowed as she watched the sleeping boy. You could already see the bruises forming on his face. Alby noticed the look in her eyes and could feel the anger rolling off of the other leader.

"Okay now you look like you want to kill the boy. What the hell has he done within the hour of him being here?" Alby questioned as they watched the young boy come to.
