Everything is going to change. Everything is going to change. A voice like a ghost saying that everything is going to change, what the shuck are we supposed to do with that?
After she had said that, she fell back but I noticed that she was holding something in her hand. Newt apparently had also noticed it and got the paper from her hand. He opened it so he could read it out loud.
"She's the last one ... ever"
And suddenly it was quiet, like the world was put on pause. Was she really the last one? Maybe it was almost over? Or they were tired of us? The quietness lasted, there wasn't a single sound. This was the quietest it ever was since I arrived here, maybe even since the first ones arrived. Most of us looked confused and the ones who weren't were just staring at her like she would just wake up at any given second.
"Med-jacks!" Newt shouted even if he shouldn't have shouted because it was still dead quiet. Clint, Jeff and Jack immediately came to the box. "What's the matter? Why won't she wake up?"
"I got my job the same way you did" Jeff said while Jack was actually doing something useful. While he was checking her, the first comments began.
"I'd definitely tap that, I'm next!" Let me guess, that was James. I really wanted to hit him, but Chuck held my back.
"If one of you touches the girl, you'll sleep with the grievers tonight" Alby said way to cheery for this, but then he got serious. "You'll get banished, I'm serious. Nobody lays a finger on her! No-one!"
Long live Alby. He should get a medal for dealing with those boys every day.
"I think she's in a coma, she's completely fine, except you know for the obvious fact that she's in a coma. We'll take her to homestead" Clint said, the last part directed to Jack and Jeff.
"Be careful, there has to be something special about her or otherwise she wouldn't be here. Oh and Clint, tone down the sarcasm?" Newt said
"Put her in the room next to Ben and I want constant supervision, if anything happens you notify me, EVERYTHING!" Alby said while looking at the girl another time before the med-jacks carried her to homestead.
The other gladers began talking again and left to do their jobs after a bit of gossiping, boys will be boys. I stayed behind with Alby, Newt, Chuck and the newbie.
"Are you sure you've never seen her before?" Alby asked while turning to Thomas.
"Yes" he nodded, Alby looked at Newt and gave him a meaningful look.
"Call a gathering, something weird is going on" he said to Newt. I immediately knew what he meant. Alby walked away and Newt looked for the other keepers.
"What's a gathering?" Thomas asked interrupting my plan to ask Chuck something?
"Some kind of meeting" I said seemingly uninterested. "Chuck, can you get the pictures we put on the walls?"
"Off the walls? But we just p-"
"I know, but we need them now, I'd help but I have to go. Maybe the newbie here wants to help a bit" I said giving Thomas a pat on the shoulder and walking away.
