"We think that the Creators might be cutting us off," Minho said right away, who was as always blunt.
"What? What do you mean they're cutting you off? You were never really connected in the first place slinthead. Or have you been getting messages that I never of?" Leah demanded.
"I wish. I wouldn't mind being cut off from the Creators, never having to deal with the shuckfaces. This is something worse, they've cut off our food supply. At least, we think they are. Either that, or they've forgotten," Everyone in the room exchanged wry glances, knowing that it was the least likely option.
"I don't know why they might not have sent supplies down, or what they're doing up there. What exactly do you want me to do?" Leah questioned, folding her arms across her chest.
"We just wanted to know what you thought. You're the only one who has any idea what the Creators are like," Newt said gently.
"Well, they're huge jerks for one thing. They're geniuses and they've put you in this place because of an experiment-"
"Wait, what? We're an experiment?!" Minho interrupted. Leah blinked in confusion.
"You mean you didn't know?" she asked.
"Not until now, but we aren't that surprised. We thought it might have been something like that," Newt said. He then shook his head. "We're going to need Alby here. You might know something else," He straightened up and was about to walk out when Thomas spoke up.
"I don't think that she'll know anything else," Minho whirled around and stared at the newbie.
"Yeah? Why's that shuckface?" Thomas looked up from his previous staring contest with the floor.
"You said that she's been coming and going for years right? Do you think that she didn't know until this time? She's probably known all this time. She just couldn't directly answer. Maybe she knows a lot but can't remember when she directly focuses on it."
Newt spoke up at this point. "That makes sense, since Leah sometimes lets things slip when she's not paying attention,"
Leah piped up again, "Do you guys realize what this means?" she asked, in a low tone. Minho and Newt looked at each other worriedly. They knew that tone; it was the tone that she used when she volunteered to do something stupidly dangerous.
"What exactly are you suggesting?" Minho continued cautiously.
"YOU CAN'T," Thomas shouted suddenly, standing up and staring at the girl in shock "It kills boys that are twice your height and weight, with your body you wouldn't last five minutes-"
Suddenly, the others realized what she was suggesting. Minho and Newt both cornered Leah in a few seconds, towering over her with angry looks that would have scared another Glader away. Even Thomas flinched a little bit.
"You said it yourself guys, this is important. You could die and rather die with you than have to go back to that lab knowing that I'd never see or remember you again!" she huffed out.
"Yeah, well, how do you think we'd feel if we knew that we'd never see you again? At least in that lab you can forget us, the pain will only last a few minutes for you, and we'd have to deal with the pain of losing you until we died. Have you thought of that Leah?" Minho angrily told her.
"Well if I don't do this your death could be in a few days, so not that much harm, eh?" She spit back.
"Both of you just shut up." an angry Newt hissed. "Nobody is dying anytime soon because we will find a way to do this without getting anyone killed. Am I understood?'
"Fine, but I hope you realize that eventually I'll have to do this and nobody can stop me. Not Alby, not Minho, not even you." Leah hissed out and left, slamming the door as she left, probably to go talk to Gally.
A/N: I am so sorry for not updating! *ducks behind Newt when the readers start angrily screaming* I just wanted to say that since I'm on winter break, I'll be able to update more so you have that to look forward to.
I just want to thank you guys for staying with me. After my trip, I opened this up and realized that I had no idea what to do and I just wanted to delete this and end my fanfic writing days. I then remembered what it was like to be a reader having a story they like deleted and decided against it. I just want to say that I love you guys and your comments+support is what kept me from deleting this.
