Greetings Humans! How have you guys been doin'? I'm am great, I am currently in sunny and beautiful Florida! Which means I have tons of time to write! Now, We are slowly nearing the end of Maze Runner and I still need to come up with Lynn's tattoo, so please leave your suggestions in the comments!
Anonymous: I am glad you liked the chapter! My schedule is a very busy one, I have a lot of extra-curricular activities which are gonna be harder to do once I get into High School. Lynho moments are on the way! I don't know when I will have their first kiss, have any suggestions? Figure Skating isn't that scary, I mean, I have been doing it for 9 years so I am kinda used to it. I do fall when I try to do double jumps but they don't hurt as much as I expected them to.
Guest: I would love to have another story, it's just I don't know what to write. I was thinking about a harry potter/frozen story or a les miserables love story. If you have any recommendations I would really love to hear them. No I do not have a wattpad, it's a really addictive site might I add. My friend was one, if you want to check her out I think her username is IHaveHope25.
Thomas and Lynn stood frozen to the ground, nausea overcoming both of them they fell back into thier chairs. Gally had officially gone crazy, he's completely insane. The council memmbers sat/stood in silence, probably just as shocked Lynn and Thomas were. Minho was released from Newt and Winston's hold and they all sat down in their seats.
"He's finally whacked for good," Minho said, his voice was quiet. As if he didn't want anyone to hear,
"Well, you're not the bloody saint in the room," Newt said. "What were you thinking? That was a little overboard, don't ya think?" Minho scoffed and pulled his head back,
"Don't give me that garbage." he said, "Every one of you loved seeing that slinthead get his dues, and you know it. It's about time someone stood up to his klunk."
"He's on the Council for a reason." Lynn's brother countered.
"Dude," Minho said, "he threatened to break my neck and kill your sister! The guy is mentally whacked, and you better send someone right now to throw him in the Slammer. He's dangerous."
Lynn was truly worried about herself and Thomas, would Gally really kill them? She couldn't have agreed more with Minho, Gally had to be stopped. He kinda of reminded her of Beth back home, they act the same, have the same opinions, they even look similar. It was kind of weird, but he had to be found and put in the Slammer.
"Maybe he had a good point," Winston suggested. Newt and Minho's head snapped towards the acne covered boy.
"What?" Minho spat. Winston looked suprised, his eyes darted around the room before he began to speak again.
"Well," Winston began, "Well... he has been through the Changing-Greiver stung him in the middle of the day just outside the West Door. That means he has memories , he said the Greenie looks familar and doesn't anyone find it weird that Lynn came out of the Maze. Anyway, why would he make stuff like that up?"
"Winston, did you just see what happened?" Frypan asked, his eyebrow furrowed. "Gally's psycho. You can't put too much stock in his rambling nonsense. What, you think Lynn and Thomas are Greivers in disguise?" Lynn was done with staying silent, to be honest she thought Thomas was done with it too.
"Can we say something now?" They both exclaimed in unison.
Lynn said, "We're sick of you guys talking about us like we're not even here." Newt glanced up at his sister and sent her a small smile. "Go ahead. This bloody meeting can't much more screwed up than it is now." Lynn and Thomas gathered their thoughts, trying to find the right words to say.
"We don't know why Gally hates us." Thomas said, "But I don't care and I'm pretty sure Lynn doesn't care either. He seems psychotic to us."
"As for who we really are, you all know just as much as we do. But if I remember correctly, we're here because of what Thomas and I did out in the Maze, not cause some bloody idiot thinks we're evil." Lynn added. Newt looked at both of them and nodded, looking like he was satisfied with what he heard.
"Good that," said he, "Let's get this meeting over with and worry about Gally later."
"We can't vote without all the members here." Winston insisted, "Unless you're really sick, like Alby."
"For the love of God Winston," Newt sighed, "I'd say Gally's a wee bit ill today too, so we can continue without him. Thomas, Lynn, defend yourselves and then we'll take the vote on what we should do with the both of ya."
Lynn nervously fiddled with a loose string on her shirt and glanced over at Thomas, who was wiping his palms on his pants. Thomas looked slightly confuse to the situation that they were handling, so having been through this before she decided to start them off.
"I didn't do anything wrong." She said, "And I am sure Thomas didn't do anything wrong. All I know is I saw two people struggling to get inside these walls and they couldn't make it. To ignore that for some stupid rule seemed selfish, cowardly, and ... well stupid."
"Here's my recommendation," Newt said. "Both of you broke our bloody Number One Rule, so you both get one day in the Slammer. That's your punishments. I also recommend we elect you two to be Runners, effective the second this meetings over. You both have proven more in one night than most trainees do in weeks." he looked at the remaining Keepers in the room, "Okay, we had several recommendations, so lets give it a go-round-"
"Oh come on!" Frypan exclaimed, "Just vote. I vote for yours."
"Me too," Minho chimed in. Everybody else nodded their heads in approval and muttered 'yes' or 'sure'. Except Winston, who said no.
Newt looked at his as if he were some sort of poison, "We don't need your vote, but tell us what's bonkin' around in your brain." Winston looked over Thomas and Lynn, then returned his gaze to Newt.
"It's fine," said he, "but we shouldn't totally ignore what Gally said. Something about it- I don't think he just made it up. And it's true that ever since Thomas and Lynn showed up, everything's been shucked and screwy."
"Fair enough, everyone put some thought into it-maybe when we get right nice and bored we can have another Gathering to talk about it. Good that?" said Newt.
Winston nodded.
Thomas groaned beside Lynn, clearly getting irritated of how invisble he had become. "I love how you are talking about us like we aren't even here."
"Look Tommy," Newt said, "We just elected you and my sister to be Runners. Quit your cryin' and get out of here. Minho has a lot of training to give ya." It took a while for Lynn to grasp on to the idea that she was going to be in the Maze again, and to be able to do what she normally does.
"What about our punishment?" Ah, that was the down part of this whole thing.
"Tomorrow," Newt replied, "The wake-up until sunset." The meeting was then dismissed and everyone had left in a hurry, save Minho and Newt. Lynn looked over at her brother who hadn't moved from his chair, still writing down notes. "Well, that was good times." he muttered. Minho walked over and threw his arms over both Lynn and Thomas shoulders, "It's all these shanks faults." Lynn lightly punched his shoulder and smiled at the Keeper of the Runners. A knock on the door grabbed the fours attention, they all turned to see who it was. Chuck stood before them, looking as if he had just run through the Maze without stopping. Lynn's smile disppeared as soon as she saw the look on the boys face.
"What's wrong?" Newt asked, standing up quickly.
"Med-Jacks sent me." Chuck panted.
"Why?"
"I guess Alby's thrashing around and acting all crazy, telling them he needs to talk to somebody." Newt made a beeline for the door, but Chuck stopped him. "Um... he doesn't want you."
"What do you mean?"
Chuck pointed to Thomas, "He keeps asking for him."

Lynn looked over at Thomas, he was standing completely still.
"Well c'mon," Newt said, grabbing Thomas by the arm. "No way I'm not going without ya." Newt pulled Thomas out of the Council room with Lynn and Chuck following close behind. They went down the hall toward a narrow sprialing staircase. Newt set his foot on the first step and turned around. He gave Chuck a cold glare, "You. Stay." Chuck simply nodded and Newt headed up the stairs. Lynn patted Chuck on the shoulder and went up after her brother. They waited for Thomas and went down a long, dark hallway, Newt opened the second door on the right and knocked on the door frame. A moan sounded in reply, Newt stepped into the room and motioned for Thomas to come in while Lynn leaned up against the wall.
"Is he asleep?" Thomas whispered.
"I don't know," Newt said quietly, he took a seat in a chair next to Alby's bed. Thomas sat in the chair on the other side, "Alby," Newt whispered. "Alby," he spoke a little louder: "Chuck said you wanted to talk to Tommy." The Leaders eyes fluttered open, gazed up at Newt, then Thomas, and then Lynn. Alby shifted in bed and sat up in bed, resting his back on the head board. "Yeah," he muttered, his voice sounded like a frog croaking.
"Chuck said you were thrahin' around, actin' like a loonie." Newt said, leaning forward in his chair. "What's wrong? Still sick?" Lynn couldn't really hear Alby's next words, all she could make out was, "Everything's...gonna change... Thomas... Lynn...I saw them..." Lynn felt her hear sink, Alby saw her in the changing. What did that mean? Alby sank down to his flat position on the bed, "Don't feel so good." He breathed.
"What do you mean, you saw-" Newt began.
"I said I wanted Thomas!" Alby yelled, making Lynn stand a little straighter. "I didn't ask for you Newt! Thomas! I asked for freaking Thomas!"
"Fine ya grouchy shuck, He's right here- talk to him." Newt said, gesturing to Thomas who sat across from him.
"Leave," Alby said through gritted teeth.
"No way, I wanna hear."
"Newt," he paused, trying to gain a little composure. "Leave. Now."
Newt began to protest, "But-"
"Out!" Alby sat up as he yelled, his voice cracking. "Get out!" Lynn walked away from her spot and rested a hand on her brother's shoulder.
"Newt come on," she said, wrapping her arm around his shoulders. Lynn practically pulled her brother out of the room, "Don't expect to me to kiss your butt whe you come sayin' sorry," Newt said as his sister brought him out to the hallway.
"Close the door!" Alby shouted, Newt obeyed and slammed the door shut. When the door had closed Lynn looked over to her brother to see his eyes slightly watering,
"Newt?" she asked quietly, "Are ya okay?" He quickly wiped away a tear that fell down his cheek and nodded his head.
"Yeah," he whispered, "I'm fine, just need to sit down for a minute." Newt leaned up against the wall and slid down til he reached the floor. Lynn sat down next to him and rested a hand on his knee. They sat in silence, listening to the sounds of Thomas and Alby's muffled voices.
"I know how you feel Newt," His head moved towards her, eyes locking with her own. "I had a friend go through the Changing too." Lynn interlocked their fingers. "Practically the same situation. My friend Sonya got stung by a Greiver unexpectedly two months ago, during the day too." Her gaze drifted down to her lap.
"Is she alive?"
"Oh yeah, and well as matter of fact. But, I don't know how she's doing now that I'm gone. Must be freakin' out that she doesn't have her second-in-command with her."
"You'll see them again, once we get out of here of course. But, we'll find them." The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, but that happiness was short lived.
"Newt! Lynn!"
