Hello again my fellow fans! :) So a quick update for today: here is Chapter 3 to you! :) I'm adding some info to the updates: Probably I cannot do it on Saturday. I'd love to, I am really into this now, but I have to take my pet rats to the vet and also have a running race that day. But instead of running from Grievers I will running from zombies :D Yeah, it is a 5K race and I'll be chased by a bunch of zombies :P How cool is that? :D Is that makes me a Runner? :D So no updates on Saturday, but I hope I'll can do it on Sunday. Until that: enjoy, ch 3 is here :D
And again: thanks for your favs and reviews! :3 You are the very best :)
"What the actually fuck?"
The two groups stared at each other for a very long moment. Nobody dared to move. It was like if they do the other group just disappears.
Slowly Zera bent over to Harriet and whispered "Is it really happening? Those things over there... They are really boys?"
"It seems so." Harriet looked troubled. In fact all of the girls looked little scared. They lived together for a year now, just girls. And now they had to move out, build everything up from the ground and now boys arrived. And it all happened in one day.
The boys' leader was a tall, dark haired Asian guy who turned one of his mates, said something to him and after that the other boy ran back through the door. The others stayed, kept staring. The dark one said something to his group and after that he slowly started to walk toward the girls.
"Here we come." Harriet said than looked to Sonya and Zera "Stay here. I'm going to talk to him and find out what the hell is going on." Then turned and she also walked toward the boy. They met at the middle and first just watched each other. Than the boy started the talking, but the group couldn't hear what was going on between their leader and the unknown boy.
Zera kept watching at them. If something goes wrong she has to take action. But the talking was quite peacefully. After 10 minutes Harriet and the boy turned and walk back to their people.
"So? What did he say to you?" Sonya asked impatiently.
"Just the very basics. His name is Minho and he is the Keeper of the Runners."
"So they have Runners?" Sam interrupted.
"Yes they have. So they experienced the same as we: The gates closed early than a hidden door opened and the corridor led them here."
"Wait that was yesterday night. And they just came here now?" Zera asked. She cannot imagine how could somebody wait a whole night next to an open gate with full of Grievers in the bloody Maze.
"It seems. He said they had to figuring out what to do first and couldn't stop the arguing about it."
"And what now? They are going to move here? With us?"
"Dunno Sonya. But he said their leaders are coming and they'll figure out what to do."
Zera got back to her work. The Runners couldn't run outside so they helped in building. Of course she was very curious about the whole situation, but why she just stand and do nothing when there is work that need to be done.
Harriet reached her when two new boys stepped to the Glade. It had to be them, the boys' leaders arrived. Zera watched Minho as he stud up and walked to greet them, then explained something while he pointed at the girls' direction. For a moment they watched each other and then the three boys started to walking to the girls again.
"Come with me." asked Harriet. Zera followed her leader. Sonya also joined to them. As they walked to each other she could watched them carefully. She already knew Minho, but the other two was brand new to her. In the middle walked the tallest boy. He was black and well muscled. Something told to Zera he is in charge. He looked slightly confused, worried and angry at the same time. Next to him was another boy. This was thinner, white and strawberry blone hair. Also he had a limp. The fact he walked with their leader told that he is an important person, maybe co-leader. They met again at the middle of their way. As soon as they reached each other, the black boy started to talk.
"My name is Alby, I am the leader of the boys. This is Newt my right hand and you already knew Minho."
"The Keeper of the Runners, yeah we have met." Harriet answered "She is Sonya my co-leader and the other gal is Zera. So, as I see we have a little problem here."
"Problem?" Alby frowned "We could start it with that you tell us how the shuck you got here?"
Harriet pointed to the door behind the girls "Right through that. You know: The door. We lived almost peacefully in our Glade when this thing just appeared from nowhere and we thought would be fun to see what we got here."
"Wait... In your Glade? You lived in the Maze too?"
"No we just appeared from nowhere, of course we lived here before!"
Zera couldn't tell if Alby was too annoyed by Harriet to say something or the information was simply too much.
"So the Creators want us to live together." Newt said as he looked around. "But why?"
Nobody could answer to that question. They stood in silence for a moment, than Harriet spoke again.
"The thing is" she talked to Alby again "I agree with your co-leader: The Creators want us together. Who knows why? We have to live with it, that's all."
"I don't like it." Zera was suprised. She didn't think Alby would be that honest.
"Trust me: neither we. But our gates back at the old Glade is closed and I'm sure they will remained closed forever and also think you are in the same situation. Cannot do anything."
The boys looked each other and then Alby spoke to Newt. "We go back to the Glade. Pack our things together then move here."
The blonde boy nodded and went back with Minho. Alby stand there for a minute or two thinking hard about the situation. But soon he turned back without a word and walked after his friends.
"Well, that was awesome." Zera wasn't happy because of the boys. In fact the girls didn't knew what they could expect from them.
As the boys went out the girls returned to their work. They started to use the already done, empty building as a main building and put everything they could inside it until the proper buildings were done. They worked hard to be done. Meanwhile the boys also started to bring across their things.
The two groups kept their distant. The boys and the girls didn't know what to do with the situation. But as the Glade was slowly full of people Zera could feel their watch in her back. She often glanced across to the others and catched some boys who stared at the girls. She couldn't see their eyes, but their never falling looks made her nervous.
"They have to be some kind of purpose." Sonya appeared next to her from nowhere. Zera jumped a little.
"Jesus Sonya, quit doin' that! I almost got a heart attack."
"Sorry." but she was actually smiling. Zera leave it and returned to her work.
"So who has to be some kind of purpose?"
"The Creators. I was thinking and maybe we are worth enough to meet. I mean, you know..."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean... Come on... To breed or something!"
"Wait, what?!" Zera thought she heard that wrong.
"You cannot say you didn't think about that."
"Well hell no! I am not some kind of breeding female Goddammit Sonya!"
That couldn't be their plan... right? No, of course not! But Zera was worried. It seemed the boys were the same age as the girls. This means from 12 years old to 18 as well. Here was a group of teenage boys with a group of teenage girls all alone. After a year without even saw a living girl. Zera could imagine how their hormone system just freaked out. And what if the Creators really want to build some kind of human colony? She looked at her fellow members. Her sisters. Instantly Zera started to saw the boys as a threat to the girls. She had to speak with Harriet about the problem as soon as possible. Until that it was the best if she keep looking over her shoulder.
Yay, the first interaction with the boys! And Newt arrived and met the girls. He even spoke 2 sentences to them, wow, congrats Newt, well done! Girls aren't that scary at all, right? :D And the boys? They seem scary to the girls. Feel the tension! And hang until the next update :) Until that let me know what you think and I'll do anything to make you happy :)
