Chapter 18:

Avery woke up feeling slightly light headed. She didn't have a clue about what had happened earlier. The boys must have moved her to her room, because that's were she woke up too. No one was in the room with her. She slowly got up and walked out. She stopped near the door of the Homestead when she heard a lot of yelling and shouting coming from outside. She paused listening to what was being said.

"Why is this the last one ever?

"I this some kind of sick joke?" Avery had no idea of what was going on. She opened the door and noticed all the Gladers were surrounding the box. Why is it back up? It isn't suppose to come for another month. She thought to herself. She made her way over and pushed past the boys. Once she was to the edge of the group she stopped in her tracks. A girl was in the box.

Help me! It was that voice again. Francesca help me, why are all those boys there? Avery then looked down into the box. Then all of a sudden the girl shot up and looked around. Her eyes landing on Thomas.

"Everything is going to change." Avery knew that voice. It was the voice in her head. Then she looked over a Thomas. For some reason she despised him. She had never had that feeling before. Right now she just wanted to kill him. She felt weird. Like something was making her feel this way, making her want to kill him.

Wait for the right time. She didn't know who owned that voice. She got confused. But she kept it to herself. All the Galders looked up a Thomas, some with worried expressions, some with confusion and some with hatred.

About two hours later Avery would have nomally been found in the maze running with Minho, but lately she hasn't gotten out quite as often. She decided she was going to talk to Minho about it. She looked around for him and saw him sitting on a log talking with another Glader. She walked over he smiled once he saw her, and he shoed off the other Glader.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey, um, Minho I need to talk to you." she said. Minho looked confused but nodded to her telling her to talk away. "Well I want to know if I am still a runner?" She asked him. She was starting to get mad. What is wrong with me?

"Of course you are. Why would you ask me that?" he replied. Avery shrugged.

"Oh, I don't know because maybe I haven't been out there in three days. Day one who were training another Glader, day two you went out there with Alby, that night you were out in the maze all night long with Alby and Thomas, and day three you were out there with Thomas." Avery said her voice rising slightly. Minho looked a little hurt.

"What's your probably? Did you suddenly get hit with Gally fever?" He said. His tone slightly higher than what her's was. "You need to chill Avery, tomorrow you can come out with me and Thomas." He said. "Will that make you happy? If so meet me there," he pointed to the south door. "hopefully by then you will be a little bit nicer." he snapped. He got up and walked off.

Minho's P.O.V:

What the shuck is her problem? She never got this worked up before. I'll wait until we both cool down to ask her about it. Now to find Thomas. Minho looked everywhere for Thomas. He finally found him in Deadheads talking with Chuck.

"Hey, shuckface" Minho called out. Causing both boys to jump up. "Sorry to break up your little chat but I need to speak with you Thomas." Chuck nodded and walked off. Minho waited until Chuck was out of hearing distance.

"Alright, tomorrow when we go out in the Maze, Avery is going to be coming with us. And don't do anything to upset her. She is a little bit angry and looks about ready to murder someone, so stay out of her way." He explained. Thomas looked a little worried, but nodded.

"How come she is so mad?" He asked Minho. Minho just shook his head.

"I don't know. Was talking to her just a few minutes ago and she was snappy."

"Alright. So regular time then?' Thomas asked.

"Yup I'll come get you tomorrow morning then we'll meet up with Avery and we will go out." Minho said. Thomas nodded.

"Okay. See ya then." Minho then left and walked out of the woods. He nodded for Chuck to go back to Thomas and finish their conversation. He didn't know how the rest of the day was going to go.

CREATORS:

"Perfect. She is ready. We just need everyone to turn on her. Then she will be banished and then we can have our fun." someone said.

"I thought we were already working on getting her banished?" another asked watching the screens.

"Not just yet. We need to wait for the right moment." the person said, looking back to the screen filled wall watching everyone. Their eye specifically on her.
