Nikola POV:
It was a pretty easy gig being the Keeper of the Slammers!
Anyone that screwed with me got locked up and it was kind of fun being the police. We were the only ones that were allowed to carry weapons, which were basically just clubs, but better than nothing.
Though Adolf, Benny, and Hideki are all buddy-buddy and they are always meeting in secret and plus I have not seen Charlie since we had that fight granted he was a Runner but even when they came back I didn't see him.
The Pit was finally finished and almost overnight fighting in the Glade was reduced to petty arguments that never got more than a slap.
Alby, Newt, and Gally were the only ones who didn't hate me next to the other Keepers (Though I think Minho hates me because I locked up Ben a few days back but come on he punched Frypan and nearly broke his nose) but I was fine with being hated because to be honest these Gladers kind of piss me off with their constant arguments with me.
Me and Newt were hanging around the Slammers Hut (It wasn't much just a hut off to the side of the Council Hut) "So you smacked Jack with your club so hard he has amnesia?!" Newt asked laughing.
I nodded as I drank some water that I swiped from the kitchen when Joey ran in looking worried "You have got to see this sir!" he said in his thick Russian accent.
I ran out with Newt right behind me and I got my club ready as we followed Joey through the Glade.
We started hearing shouting until we saw a couple Gladers running away from a larger group that seemed to form a circle.
Then I saw him.
A Glader about fourteen was running around like crazy with weird looking veins, they were completely black as were his eyes.
He was running around and clawing at people and trying to bite them. I had enough and ran through the group "HEY!?" I yelled at the Glader and as he turned I smacked him across the head, not hard enough to kill him but enough to knock his ass out.
The kid dropped out cold and we all came closer Newt and Alby came up and knelt down next to me "What the hell is going on with this guy?" I asked them.
Alby shook his head "It's called the Changing, it happens when you get stung by a Griever." Alby explained to me as Joey and Newt picked the Glader up and took him away.
I looked over at him "I'm sorry did you say Griever? As in those giant...whatever the hell they are monsters that live in the maze?!" I asked and Alby nodded "Well, that's just perfect!" I said pissed off.
Adolf, Hideki, and Benny all walked up to us now laughing and smiling "What did we miss?" Adolf asked.
I looked up at my so called workers and glared at them "Where the hell have you guys been?!" I yelled at them.
Adolf grinned a little "Easy their Nikola. We were checking on something."
Alby and I got up and Joey was right next to me "What exactly were you checking on?" Alby asked.
Benny stepped up "Nothing that would interest you sir."
Alby sighed in annoyance but walked away and Joey was right behind him, he had kind of become Alby's bodyguard.
I stood my ground however and glared at all three of them "It interests me now show me what you guys were doing!" I ordered.
They sighed and led me through the forest.
As we walked deeper and deeper I started getting suspicious I gripped my club that was strapped to my belt and tensed before we stopped at the Maze wall.
Hideki knelt down and showed me a massive crack in the wall and it led all the way to the top and halfway up was a large hole.
Adolf smirked "See, we were investigating this." he said as I just stared at the wall in amazement "Well, what is it?" I asked.
Hideki stood up "As near as we can figure we think this may be how that Glader got stung."
I nodded "Well, sorry then for getting angry at you guys. Keep up the good work!" I said and started back when something got in my head.
As I walked out I saw Gally locking up the Pit on the infected Glader "What's wrong Nikola?" he asked.
I just shook my head and then I started hearing a pounding sound "You have to let me out!"
I looked over and saw Charlie in the Pit. How the hell did he get in there?!
The infected Glader was starting to get up "Get it open! GET IT OPEN!" I yelled and me and Gally started trying to open the the Pit but the knots were stuck.
Charlie started backing up and the Glader got up and started towards him "Come on!" I yelled and then Gally took out his knife as I took out my club and we both started breaking through the door.
I smashed the lock as Gally hacked at the ropes "HELP!" Charlie yelled as the Glader lunged on him Charlie started screaming in pain as he bit into him.
Gally finally broke through just as I finally broke the lock and we ran in and Gally pinned the Glader to the wall with his knife to his throat.
I ran over to Charlie to check on him but blood was pouring from his throat and his mouth "Shit! Someone get a Med-jack!" I yelled to a few passing Gladers and they ran to find Clint and Jeff.
Gally punched the Glader and knocked him out, then he tied him up as I put pressure on Jacks wounds "Come on! Gally keep pressure on his throat I'll be right back!" I ordered and ran out to find Newt and Alby until finally I saw them talking to Frypan.
They turned and I quickly explained the situation "Frypan grab some water!" I yelled and he grabbed a bucket of water.
We ran back and saw Clint, Jeff, Gally, and the other Slammers all gathered around Charlie.
We made it to the group and I saw that Charlie was now dead and I looked over at Adolf who didn't look sad or horrified or even fazed at the fact that a Glader was dead.
I looked over at the dead Glader and felt the guilt wash over me "I didn't check the Pit I should have investigated it to make sure it was clear!" I said to Alby as I lifted my club and gave it to him.
Alby looked at me confused "What are you doing?" he asked and I could feel some tears threatening to break "I quit! As of now Adolf is the Keeper of the Slammers!" I said and walked away back to the Slammers hut.
I sat down and let the tears break free for hours.
I've failed.
I don't know how long this will be but I hope you like it.
