Me and Newt had fell asleep together and the next morning I woke up by the sunlight. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times, adjusting my eyes to the light.

'Morning.' Newt said with his morning voice.

'Hey.' I got up and got dressed, so did Newt. Together we walked to the kitchen and Frypan gave us some food. It were scrambled eggs with a small piece of breath. We thanked him and walked towards Minho and Thomas.

'Hey, guys.' Minho said. 'Hey Raven, long no see.' He looked at me.

'Hey.' I sat down.

'Ready for running today?' Thomas asked.

'Yeah.' I quickly ate my food and got ready to go run. Before I left Newt handed me a plastic bag with some sandwiches in it.

'Thanks.' I smiled and kissed him. 'Bye.' I walked away.

I was getting tired of the fact that section seven was still closed, but it would open in one day.
I ran in section three and saw that nothing was different. The day went by kind of fast and soon I was back in the Glade again.

'Raven!' Minho came running towards me. 'There's something with Alby.' He said trough his breaths.

I quickly followed Minho who rushed over to the hospital room.

Alby was sitting on one of the beds, staring at the ground.

'Alby, are you alright?' Newt sat down next to him, but Alby didn't react.

'Hey, Alby.' Thomas bend down in front of Alby.
'We are really close to finding a way out of the maze. You hear me? We're getting out of here.'

Everyone stayed silent.

'We can't.' Alby suddenly said. 'We can't leave. They won't let us.' He said quietly.

'What are you taking about?' Thomas looked at us confused.

'I remember.'

I saw Frypan and Gally give each other a glance.

'What do you remember?' Thomas asked.

'You.' Alby paused and looked at Thomas. 'You were always there favorite, Thomas.' I saw a tear falling down his cheek. 'Always.'

Suddenly I heard a few boys shouting things from outside. I looked at Newt and we rushed outside.

'What's happening?' Newt asked some of the boys that were running around.

'The Doors. They aren't closing.' One of the boys said panicked, and then they continued running.

'Chuck, go to the Homestead before the Griev-.' Thomas got interrupted by a loud scream coming from the Doors. A Griever had entered the Glade.

Suddenly I heard a loud sound. I turned my head and saw another big door opening in the maze.

'What-.' I got interrupted by another door opening, and then another one. Four doors were opened now, and Grievers were coming out of all four.

'Raven!' Newt handed me a pole and I got closer to him. 'We have to get to the Homestead.' He said.

I nodded and we started running. Chuck, Thomas, Teresa and Minho were following us. When we were almost there a Griever suddenly blocked the door.

'Quick!' Minho shouted and he ran towards the gardens, all of us followed.

We ran trough the corn fields, and stopped running after a while. We stayed as close to the ground as possible and we were all quiet.

Suddenly I heard a loud sound and someone was pulled up by the Griever it's arm.

'Zart!' Someone screamed, but he was too late and Zart was pulled away by the Griever.

'Run!' We got up and started running to the Homestead again. We managed to get to the door and Minho quickly opened it.

He let Chuck, Thomas and Teresa go in. I turned around and saw what was happening behind me.

Grievers were chasing boys, fire was burning the whole Glade, the whole Glade was being ruined.

'Raven!' I turned around again and Newt motioned for me to get in the Homestead.

'I'm sorry.' I grabbed my dagger from my pocket and took my pole in the other hand, then I turned around.

'Raven, stop!' Newt screamed, but I didn't listen. I wasn't gonna let all these boys die, I was going to try my best and safe them. I needed to draw the Grievers their attention so the others could hide.

I started running to a corner of the Glade and grabbed my pole tighter. I was afraid, but that's wasn't gonna stop me.

'HEY!' I screamed as loud as I could. I tried to get the attention of all the Grievers and it seemed to work. They all came running towards me and I realized that I didn't even had a plan, but I had to do it.

Dumb idea. I realized when the Grievers came closer.

I started running away from the Grievers.
'Hide!' I screamed at a few boys that were frozen in their place.

I stopped running and turned around. I threw my dagger at a Griever and it landed right in it's eye. It made a horrible sound and the Griever ran away, back in the maze.

There were two more Grievers in front of me. I held on to my pole tighter and stabbed one of the Grievers with it. It made the same horrific sound, but it didn't go away. Instead it sliced my cheek with one of it's spikes. I pulled my pole out and stabbed the Griever again.

The Griever continued make sounds and I gave him one last stab. The Griever stumbled away towards the maze.

I sighed in relieve but then I noticed the other Griever that was standing right next to me. It slowly walked towards me and I took a few steps back. I held my pole in front of me trying to get the Griever away, but the Griever only got closer.

Suddenly the Griever moved it's metal tail and hit me in my side. I let out a cry because of the pain, but then I threw my pole at the Griever. I ran away to the Homestead without looking back.

When I got there Thomas, Minho, Chuck, Frypan and Newt came out of the Homestead.

Before any of us could say anything a very angry Gally marched towards us. No one said anything until Gally punched Thomas right in the face.

'Hey!' Minho, Frypan and Newt ran to Gally and stopped him before he could throw out another punch.

'Thomas, no!' My eyes catched Thomas, Chuck and Teresa who were standing next to me. Thomas had stabbed himself with the Griever's stinger.

The other boys turned around and ran to Thomas, but he was already laying on the ground unconscious.

Minho sighed and looked around. All the Grievers were gone, but the Glade was still on fire.

Suddenly I felt something wet drip down my leg. I looked down and saw red blood dripping from my side. The blood had covered my whole leg and I already lost a lot of blood.
I put my hands on my side and tried to put pressure on it, but my legs started to feel heavier.

I had a hard time trying to keep my eyes open and I slowly felt myself fall to the ground.

'Raven!' I heard some blurred voices but then my vision turned black.

Newt's POV

We got out of the Homestead safely, but not happy. When a Griever grabbed Chuck, Alby had hit the Griever so it would let go of Chuck and it did, but then it grabbed Alby and we weren't able so safe him. Our leader was dead.

I saw Gally marching towards us with a mad look on his face, and before any of us could say something he punched Thomas right in the face. Me and Minho immediately ran to Gally and pulled him away from Thomas.

Gally was shouting a few more things with the same mad look on his face, when I suddenly heard Chuck scream.

'Thomas, no!' I turned around and saw Thomas injecting himself with the Griever it's stinger. I let go of Gally and rushed over to Thomas, who was laying on the ground. His eyes slowly closed.

I sighed and got up from the ground.

Great night. First Raven goes distract the Grie- wait, Raven.

I turned around and looked for Raven after I realized I didn't talk to her yet. I saw her standing close to Teresa. When I started walking to her I noticed that something was wrong. Both of her hands were on her side and she looked pale.

Suddenly I saw the red liquid dripping down her leg.

'Raven!' I saw her drop onto the floor.

~

It's been a day since the Doors didn't close and everything was going wrong. Gally has taken it upon himself and decided that he was the leader now. He said we could choose if we wanted to stay with him or Thomas. Most of the boys had choose for Gally, except for me, Minho, Frypan, Teresa and Chuck.

Gally had also thrown Thomas and Raven in the pit. Thomas had woke up by now, and told us about the memories he had seen. He knew that the way out is trough section seven and we didn't have much time left.

Raven in fact didn't wake up yet and I don't know why. None of the med-jacks were there to help us and I didn't know what to do. We had tried our best to clean the wound on her side up.

When she was attacking the Griever it stabbed her with his tail, leaving a deep wound in her side. Raven fainted probably because of all the bood loss and it was taking her way too long to wake up, and I was getting worried.

Her skin was pale, but she still looked peaceful laying there with her eyes closed. Suddenly I heard a muffled noise coming from her mouth. I immediately sat up straight and grabbed her hand.

'Raven?' I said quietly.

After a few seconds I saw that her chest started to go up and down faster then before. She slightly opened her eyes and then closed them again.

I squeezed her hand lightly and she opened her eyes completely.

'Raven!' That drew the others their attention and they all looked at her.

She quickly got up. 'Woah, woah, calm down there.' I tried to push her back down but she stayed like this.

'Took you long enough.' Minho said and Raven smiled.

'What's happening?' She asked when she noticed she was in the pit.

'Gally has taken lead.' Thomas said.

'Where's Alby then?' She asked confused.

I gave Minho a glance and sighed. 'He didn't make it.' I said.

'Oh.' Raven looked down.

After a few seconds Thomas broke the silence. 'We have a plan.'

'Okay, tell me.'

~

Raven's POV

'Can you get up?' Newt asked me once they told me their plan.

'I hope so.'

I tried to get up and it hurt like hell, but I managed to do it.

Suddenly a few boys came walking to the Pit.

'Thomas, do it.' Minho whispered. Thomas quickly laid down on the ground and pretended to be unconscious.

The boys opened the Pit and started pulling us out of there. When they got to me they grabbed me by my waist what made me whimper.

I saw that Newt's jaw was clenched and he wanted to do something to do boy, but Minho stopped him.

We all got pulled out of the pit and the boys grabbed Teresa and Thomas. They let the rest of us go.

We walked towards the maze Doors were Gally was standing. A boy held Teresa and they let Thomas fall on the ground, who was still pretending to be unconscious.

'This doesn't feel right, man.' Winston said to Gally.

'Yeah, what if Thomas is right.' Jeff added. 'Maybe he can lead us home.'

'We are home.' Gally looked at them. 'I don't want to cross any more names of that wall.' He pointed at the wall with all our names on it.

'You really think banishing us is gonna solve anything.' Teresa said.

'No.' Gally turned around. 'This isn't a banishing, it's an offering.'

The boy who was holding Teresa started tying her to a pole.

'Wait, Gally! What are you doing?!' She said while being tied up.

'Do you really think I'm gonna let Thomas go back in the maze after what he's done?' Gally shouted madly. 'Look around you.' He turned around again. 'Look at our Glade! This is the only way.'

I saw Minho and Newt give each other a glance.

'And when the Grievers get what they came here for, everything goes back the way it was.' Gally said.

'Are you listening to this? Why are you all just standing there, he's crazy!' Teresa shouted at the boys.

'Shut up.' Gally said.

'If you stay here the Grievers are gonna come back. They're gonna come back and they're gonna keep coming back until you're all dead.' Teresa said.

'Shut up! Tie him up!' Gally pointed at Thomas. 'Do you hear me?' Gally said when the boys didn't react. 'I said tie him up!'

The two boys bend down to grab Thomas but suddenly he punched them with his elbows. Newt ran forwards and hit one of them with his knife. Teresa kicked the boy in front of her in his balls.

Gally wanted to do something, but Minho rushed forwards and held a knife in front of his face. I grabbed my dagger and stood next to Newt. Frypan cutted the ties around Teresa her hands and Chuck came running towards us.

'You're full of surprises, aren't you?' Gally said to Thomas. once we all stood in front of the Doors.

We love surprise parties.

'You don't have to come with us, but we are leaving.' Thomas held his pole towards Gally. 'Anyone else who wants to come that's your last chance.'

'Don't listen to him, he's trying to scare you.' Gally said to the boys.

'No, I'm not trying to scare you, you're already scared.' Thomas said. 'Alright, I'm scared. I'd rather risk my life out there, then spending the rest of it here. We don't belong here. This place isn't our home. We were put here, we were trapped here. Out there we have a choice. We can make it out of here.'

The boys stayed silent for a while until Winston started walking towards us. Jeff followed him and soon more did.

'Gally, it's over.' Thomas said. 'Just come with us.' Thomas tried again.

'Good luck against the Grievers.' Gally turned around.

'Come on.' Newt whispered to me and we all ran into the maze.
