"What the bloody hell, (Y/N)!?" Newt yelled as he stopped next to you.

"Yell at me after we save him. Okay?" You say pointing to a boy running from something. His leg was bleeding and he was screaming.

"Oh, bloody hell! CHUCK!"

"Newt! Help!" Chuck said as he ran up to Newt.

"What's going on?" You ask.

"That! I think its a Griever!"

"How did you get away?" Newt asked.

"I didn't." Chuck said as a giant bug like creature turned the corner. But something was off about it.

"Oh, shuck. RUN!" Newt yelled.

Then all three of you bolted. You turned two corners and ran into someone. Thomas and Minho.

"What the hell?" Thomas said.

"Just run." You say.

There was a shriek. Then there it was, the Griever, again.

"Their still here?"

You push Thomas in the opposite direction.

"And that is why we are leaving."

"Right." Minho said staring at it.

You run as fast as you can with the boys right behind you. You turn right. Then left. This goes on for another 10 minutes. Then you are out. You rush through the doors. The Griever is still behind you, but the door started to close.

Alby appears out of one of the buildings with someone else.

New arrival maybe? You thought to yourself.

But you didn't have time to ponder on that. You ran and turned around to see what was going on.

The Griever was still following you but the doors were too close together for it to fit through.

"What the shuck was that?" Minho asked between breaths.

"Whatever it was, it is not our friend." Newt said sitting on the ground.

"That was not a Griever." Thomas said, his hands on his knees.

"Then what was it?" The new kid asked crossing his arms looking irritated.

"Nice to see you, too, Gally."

"What's going on?" Alby said, annoyed.

"This Griever thing was chasing Chuck. We got away. No one got hurt-"

"Yes, someone did." You say. You were leaning over a heavily breathing Chuck. A look of pain was plastered on his face. You were examining his leg. Everyone rushed over.

"What happened?!" Thomas said looking at Chuck's heavily bleeding leg.

"I don't know. Maybe he was-" You were cut off by a Griever shriek. But you didn't even look up. You felt everybody's eyes fall on you as they looked back.

"Maybe he fell and hit his leg on something or maybe he was just like that when he got here. It doesn't look broken. It could be sprained." You say frantically rolling Chuck's shorts up over his shin to get a better look. Chuck cried out in pain as you did. "Sorry."

"Then how was he running on it?" Gally asked.

"I don't know! How am I supposed-" You were cut off when you saw something reflecting light from the side of Chuck's shin. It was in his skin so you didn't know how it did.

"Hey, is she okay?" You heard Gally ask as you just stared at it for a minute.

You carefully climbed over Chuck to see what it was.

"Oh my God." You said realizing what it was. "I need tweezers, bandages, and a bag. Now!"

Thomas ran to a small building, and came back minutes later with what you needed.

Chuck cried out in pain. Worry was written all over the guys faces. You could tell they were close with Chuck, and they didn't want to loose him. You had a feeling that everyone that was here has been here before and was sent back for a reason. And that everyone here needed to be here.

You lifted Chuck's leg to see where whatever it was went in. He cried out again making you feel horrible. "I'm sorry, Chuck." You say as you were about to pull the thing out.

"Woah, woah!" Thomas said pushing your hand away. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Look, I have to do this or he might die, okay?" Just as you said it, the veins around the punctured area on Chuck's leg started to turn black and Chuck screamed. "See!"

Thomas hesitantly moved his hand way and you went back to what you were doing.

"Hold him down." You said. Newt, Thomas, and Minho obliged.

You grabbed the end of whatever it was and muttered a 'Sorry.' to Chuck before you pulled on it. Just as you expected, Chuck lurched forward while screaming. The object didn't come out. It was stuck.

You waved Gally over to help you. At first he shook his head but you sent him a glare that said 'Get over here you ungrateful little shucking shank or you will be seriously injured after this.' so he walked over and grabbed on. You held on with all you had and leaned backwards pulling as hard as you could. Chuck still screamed and lunched forward. With a 'Pop!' whatever it was came out.

"What the shuck is that?" Alby asked.

You picked it up. You recognized it almost immediately. "A Griever tooth."

Everyone looked at you like you were crazy.

"A what?" Minho asked.

"A Griever tooth. Do I need to spell it out for you?" You asked.

"Oh, Minho, you just got sassed by a girl." Thomas joked.

"Shut up." Minho said playfully pushing Thomas.

"But how did it get there?" Newt asked turning the subject back to the tooth.

"I don't know. It could have been put there by the Creators, it could be a hologram thing, or he could have seriously been bit." You said trying to wrap your head around what was going on.

Then you noticed, Chuck wasn't breathing.

"Oh my God!" You said pushing Gally out of your way. "Chuck? Chuck?! Chuck!"

The boys just stared at you like you were crazy. Then realization slowly hit them.

"Chuck!" Thomas said before anyone else knew what was going on.

"What's going on?" Minho asked, clueless.

"He's not BREATHING!" You shouted.

"What?!" You heard Newt say, a bit supersized and confused at the same time.

"HE'S NOT BREATHING!" You were freaking out. You didn't know what to do. It's like you had no control over what was happening.

Minho pushed you out of the way and started pushing on Chuck's chest. He did it repetitively.

Finally, Chuck gasped for air.

"Oh God." Thomas said with a sigh of relief, resting his head on Chuck's leg. Alby put his hands on his hips and smiled, Gally took a deep breath and went back to his usual annoyed expression, Minho smiled resting his hands on his running pack, and Newt let his head drop with a light smile, you sat there with a still concerned and worried face. You sat down and took a deep breath.

What is going on? You asked yourself. Why are they sending us here? Was that a Griever? Who put us here? Why?

Tons of questions kept circling in your brain. But you knew you wouldn't get your answers for awhile. And that's what scared you. You had no idea what was going to happen.

Unless something bad is about to happen. You thought. Then the headaches start. Wait, could that migraine have been for Chuck? Or did something happen before that? Or maybe it meant something in the future. I guess I will have to find out.

You studied the tooth in your hand.

"We should get him to the Med-Jack hut." Alby said. Gally, Minho, and Thomas picked up Chuck, who scrunched his face up in pain, and carried him over to the small building Thomas came from earlier.

Newt and Alby where discussing something. You didn't know what but it involved quick glances over at the Med-Jack hut.

You caught a couple things.

"What are we going to do?" Newt had said one time.

"Should we trust her?" You couldn't figure out who said that but it hurt a little bit. You just saved their friend, practically their little brother and they were still wondering if they could trust you.

They eventually walked off to a the only 2 story building in the Glade.

You were studying the tooth. You noticed tinier teeth out lining it. It was stained red from Chuck's blood but you still noticed a blueish tint when light hit it. A black liquid was dried to one side of it. then you saw a crack in the opposite side. You had the urge to pull it open and see what it was until you felt a hand on your shoulder. You turned to see Newt.

"Hey." You said looking back at the tooth.

"(Y/N), you know you have been staring at that for three hours, right?" Newt said as he sat next to you.

"No I haven't."

"Yes you bloody have! It's dark already."

You let out a low aggravated growl.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Newt asked hearing it.

"I don't know. It's just-I just-" You let out an irritated and exaggerated sigh. "I don't know. Just so much has happened in the last two days and... I don't know how to react to it. It's a lot to process." Your mind drifted to the dream you had last night. "This place is bad for us. They aren't testing us any more. I don't think they are. I can just feel they aren't. They put us back in here as a game. They knew that the Maze broke us all. They want to see us do it again. It broke us more then the others, though. I heard of your story. They were talking about it the other day, in this dream I had. It was hard to hear what they were talking about but I managed to get 'Broke... Maze... Again... Newt.' I don't mean to bring up bad memories or anything but, how exactly do you think the Maze broke you?"

Newt was silent for some time. What seemed like forever to you.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. I am a horrible person." You said pressing the heel of your hand to your forehead and getting up.

"No, no! It's fine!" Newt said but you were too far away to hear him.

You ran through the woods and found the giant tree you slept in before you knew there were buildings here. You climbed it as fast as you could to get away and out of sight to people. You stayed on one of the most covered lower branches and got comfortable because you knew you were not coming out of this tree for a while. Even if one of the guys came up there or even if they tried to throw you off.

You were just a little worried about being out here without anyway of protecting yourself from whatever could be out there.

Slowly your eyes got heavy and sleep overtook you.
