To anyone who reads my other stories, I will update all of them as soon as possible, I just moved and I am trying to get settled in but at the same time I just finished the M-Step in school. Sorry the wording is different from the books, one of my friends is borrowing it so I don't know what the correct wording was. Although I am basing this off the book, their will be some parts changed so that it would be scenes in the movie. Hope you all enjoy!
Thomas pov:
I was finishing up the tour with Alby, when suddenly an alarm went off throughout the Glade. I recognized the alarm. It sounded different in the box, it had more of an echo to it, but I'm sure its the same.
I looked at Alby for answers, but he looked like he didn't know what was going on either. He didn't look scared which was reassuring, but he looked confused. I looked at the other Gladers and most of them looked the same.
Alby ran off before I could ask him something and when I asked Newt he only told me that it was the greenie alarm and that it wasn't supposed to be going off. When I asked Chuck he gave me some answers but that quickly turned into me asking him about ways they could get out and him predicting what I was going to say just so he can reject it.
After what seemed to be a long time but was only thirty minutes there was a loud clang signaling that the box had arrived.
It opened up to reveal four people. Although only three of their faces visible I could tell that two of them were girls and the other two were boys.
"Its four greenies." Newt said from inside the box. I hadn't even noticed he jumped down there until he spoke. How was he so quiet? I wondered.
Murmurs and shouting's broke the tense silence. Luckily after just a few seconds Alby got them all to be quiet and listen to what Newt had to say.
"If that's it, it doesn't sound that bad Newt." Someone from the back shouted.
"Its not even bloody half of it, two of them are girls and I think one of them's dead." He said. After he said it I noticed how one of the girls didn't seem to be breathing.
"What's in her hand?" Someone from closer up asked.
Newt grabbed a note out of the dead girls hands and read it aloud. "They're the last ones, ever." He said.
He then reached to the other girls pocket and pulled out another note. "Use her power to your advantage." He read.
After that he reached over to one of the boys and pulled a note out of his hand. "Use his loyalty to keep you going." He said.
He reached over to the last boy (who was the person on their stomach) and pulled a note out of his pocket and read it aloud once again. "Use his and his brothers wit to get you out."
He had just finished reading that when all of them jolted awake.
"Everything is going to change." One of the girls said before falling back down. I looked around to see the all of the Gladers's eyes on me. I looked back into the box and saw that the other three were then looking at each other. The person who wasn't facing up before didn't tilt his head enough for me to see which was frustrating me because I wanted to know who his brother was.
"You alright?" Newt asked. Their faces turned to him and I was frozen in shock. Newt looked like he was in the same state as me. The reason why is because the one whose face we couldn't see looked exactly like me.
"Where are we? Where's everyone? Why does it feel like I just woke up from being sedated?" The person who I guessed was my brother asked.
"Great. He asks as much questions as Thomas too." Chuck said.
"Hey! Not my fault I'm curious!" I said.
The person looked at me and paled. The other people in the box looked at me and everyone but Newt paled too. The weird part is that I could've sworn that I saw the other boys' eyes flash blood red for a second.
I noticed how the other girl in the box clenched her fists. Not in an aggressive way, but instead like she was preparing for something, or like she was going to scream. I saw how her green eyes widened then clamped shut.
"Lydia. Don't." The boy whose eyes seemed to glow red for a second said.
"I can't. I cant control it." She said. Less than a millisecond later she screamed. It wasn't like Bens screams, it was much more powerful and loud. It seemed to echo across the Glade yet not at the same time. Eight seconds later the scream stopped and she looked around before her eyes landed back on me. It was kind of creepy.
"What is it Lydia? What do you hear? What are they saying?" The person who I assume is my brother said. What was he talking about? Who are they?
She didn't speak for a second, she didn't even look like she heard him. The people who came up with her that were conscious didn't even looked the slightest bit phased, as if it were a normal occurrence.
"Its not him. This person is safe for us to trust." She finally said.
"Lets get you guys out so you can tell us what just bloody happened?!" Newt said.
The boy who didn't look like me nodded and pushed himself out of the box with what looked like zero effort before he reached down and pulled the other boy and the conscious girl out with once again looked to be zero effort.
"Med-Jacks!" Newt yelled before picking up the unconscious girl and grabbing the outstretched hand of the boy who pulled the other two out. within seconds of Newt getting up the two med-jacks were there checking the girls' pulse and doing their thing. As they were doing this I took a closer look at the girl. She had long, curly, silky, black hair and pale flawless skin. I remembered how her eyes were a bright blue when she woke up, they were brighter than any he had ever seen before unless you count when the boys' eyes seemed to glow blood red, but it had to have been a trick of the light.
"Do you recognize her?" Newt asked.
"No." I said although I knew it was a lie.
"Do you recognize any of them?" He asked.
"Other than the one who looks exactly like me? No. Do you know what that scream was?" I asked hoping to change the subject.
"We're gonna find out." He said before walking over to the group of arguing teenagers.
"We need to tell them the truth. Not only for their safety but for ours. Plus they will get suspicious." The boy who didn't look like me said.
"Listen Scott, alright. I would agree with you but remember Matt? Gerard? Jennifer? I said that they were all bad people and guess what? It turns out that they were all psychopathic killers! I have the same feeling with some of these people as I did them. Not all but some. And so that I'm not being a hypocrite, I was the first person to guess that I was being possessed when the Nogitsune and Oni came! We cant trust every person here." The person who looked like me rambled. What is he talking about?
"Hey, can you guys join me and Tommy here for a moment?" Newt asked.
They looked surprised for a second before nodding and joining us.
After walking to the tree I was at through most of yesterday, Newt sat down and motioned for us to follow.
"Okay. What do you remember?" Newt asked.
They looked confused for a second but then the girl spoke up.
"What do you mean? I remember everything, I'm sure Stiles remembers everything, and I know Scott remembers everything." She said, pointing to both boys as she said their names. So Scott is the one who's eyes flashed red, Stiles is the one who looks like me, and Lydia must be the girl who just spoke.
"What I mean is, no one here has ever remembered anything but their names and the basic stuff that isn't about their past." He said.
"Do you guys know that other girl who was in the box?" I asked.
"Nope. Never seen her before in my life." Stiles says.
"Why did you scream? How was it so powerful? Has it happened before? Wh-" I asked with my directions pointed at Lydia. I would have kept going since I was getting answers to at least some of my questions but a glare from Gally, who was watching us from the outside of the box, shut me up.
Everyone looked to where I was looking and even Newt, who has been with Gally for who years, shuttered.
"Geez, he looks even angrier than sourwolf when someone annoys him on his bad days. And sourwolf is terrifying when he's not mad!" Stiles said.
"To answer your questions Thomas, I screamed because I was scared. I will let Scott choose if and when I can tell you why it was so powerful. And yes, it has happened before." Lydia said.
The second answer seemed to catch more of Newt's interest than the others, and I think I had a clue why. Not only because the whole Glade revolves around trust, but why would she need Scott to tell her whether she can say the answer to why her scream was so powerful.
"You will need to tell us everything you remember at the gathering I'm going to be calling in just a few minutes. Once Alby gets done talking to Clint and Jeff I'll tell him to call a gathering and you will need to tell us. Since I hate doing the lecture I'm going to give you, I'll let Tommy give it to you since he just got it this morning." Newt said.
"Hey! Why do I need to give the lecture about trust if I just got here yesterday?!" I exclaimed.
"Because, I want you to. Just testing your leadership ability's." He said.
"Fine. Everything here revolves around trust. We eat, sleep, live, and thrive around it. If no one here trusts someone and all of them have a good reason, your most likely getting banished. I think the rules are there so we can not only keep order, but also trust. The rules are to do your part, never harm another Glader, and to never go outside these walls. We need to have trust, so we can get out of here, so we can live until then, and so when we do get out we can have something that for most people would break easily but mend slow but for us wouldn't break and instead bend." I said. I didn't want to do the lecture I got since it was too harsh with no meaning behind it, so I made it softer with more meaning.
After Alby got over to us Newt called a gathering and said that he wanted me to come too in case it triggers a memory.
After we all got into the room where the gatherings were held and Ably got everyone to be quiet he spoke.
"We are all gathered here for a gathering to discuss our new greenies. Apparently all three of them remember everything about their lives is that correct?" Alby asked. The three nodded their heads in unison before Stiles spoke.
"Well, other than when our friends decide its a good idea to knock me unconscious." He said sarcastically.
"Not the time or subject for sarcasm Stiles." Lydia said.
"You guys are going to tell us everything you remember in order. After you're done we will ask you questions and you will answer truthfully. Good that?" Alby said.
They nodded and began telling their stories.
