Hey Humans! I am soooooooooo sorry for not updating sooner. I feel like such a bad author, I am really sorry. I have had such a busy week, between figure skating, piano performances, and ballet lessons. I haven't had any time to write, and plus I have school to do and I'm like ugh, so much stuff. Anyway, I am here now! I will be on vacation next week so I will have lots of time to write! Remember I'm still trying to figure out what Lynn's tattoo is going to be for the Scorch Trials, so please leave a suggestion in the comment section.

Guest 1: Your wish is my command!

Guest 2: I won't say if Lynn is immune or not, but I do know her fate. Thank you for your comment! I will be planning to do all three books, it might take a while but I am gonna do it. I am determined to.

.Free.0.o: The Spirit and The Supporter, I would like to know what made you think of those. I like them a lot.

Le me: I didn't write that much Lynho in this chapter, but I will put more in the next chapter. Thank you for your review, it's nice to know that so many people love my writing!

Anonymous: I got your review, don't worry! Every time someone leaves a comment I get e-mailed. Make sure you get enough sleep! Yes, I loved writing that part where the guy shouts 'I would love to marry Lynn!' I wanted to put some protective Newt in the last chapter and I put a tiny bit of protective Lynn in here. You really don't want to mess with her brother otherwise you have to put up with her.

May a Chance: Yay! Lynn can run the Maze again!

I would like to thank TheJaneOfAllTrades, Crytipids, .Free.0.o, and supergirl2580 for following the story!

A heavy silence filled the room, he did it. He nominated Lynn and Thomas to be Runners. At first Lynn thought he was joking, but when he didn't say anything, she was suprised as well as Thomas. Gally had broken the silence, standing up, he shouted, "That's ridiculous!" He pointed a finger at Minho, who had sat back down, "He should be kicked off the Council for that!" Lynn and Thomas narrowed their eyes at Gally, any pity they had for him had been washed away.
Some Keepers agreed with Minho's idea-like Frypan, who was clapping to drown out Gally's stupid voice. Winton on the other hand, was shaking his head, muttering something unintelligble under his breath. She looked next to her to see Thomas with his head in his hands. Lynn gently rubbed his back, she knew how he must have been feeling right now. He was probably confused and irritated, probably wishing he was a thousand miles away from this place. Newt put his notepad down and stepped out from the semi-circle, shouting for everyone to be quiet. Thomas sat up and Lynn rested a hand on his shoulder, finally everyone had settled down and they weren't shouting at each other...for now.

"Shuck it," Newt said, shaking his head. "I've never seen so any shanks acting like shuckin' babies. We may not look it, but around these parts we're adults. Act like it, or we'll disband this bloody Council and start from scratch." He slowly walked back and forth, going from end to end of the half circle. "Are we clear?"

Quietness took over the room once again, suprisingly, everyone nodded their heads in consent.

"Good that." Newt sat back down in his chair, taking his note-pad and dropping it on his lap. He scribbled over a few lines on the paper, then he looked up at Minho. "That's some pretty serious klunk, brother. Sorry but you need to talk it up to move it forward." Lynn's gaze drifted over to Minho, who was slumped in his chair, he looked absolutely exhausted. Eyes bloodshot, hair was slighlty tousled, and clothes covered in dirt and blood. Minho, sighed and crossed his arms, "It's sure easy for you shanks to sit here and talk about something you're stupid on. I'm the only Runner in this group, and the only other one here who's even been out in the Maze is Newt." Minho said. Lynn's eyes widened and her head snapped in her brothers direction, his eyes met hers but quickly looked away. Newt had been out in the Maze before. Why wasn't he a Runner now? That was a question she had to save for a later date. Lynn had to focus on the current situation, Gally was currently shouting for some shucking reason. He said, "Not if you count the time I-"

"I don't!" Minho interjected, "And believe me, you or nobody else has the slightest clue what it's like to be out there. The only reason were stung was because you broke the same rule you're blaming Lynn and Thomas for. That's called hypocrisy, you shuck-faced piece of s-"

"Enough," Newt said sternly. "Defend your proposal and be done with it." Lynn and Thomas could feel the tension in the room. The air grew thin, it seemed as it was glass about to shatter at any moment. Gally and Minho staring at each other intensely with their arms crossed tightly over their chests.

"Anyway, listen to me." Minho said through a clenched jaw and uncrossing his arms. "I've never seen anything like it. They didn't panic, hell even girly over there didn't panic when Ben was stung. They didn't whine and cry, never seemed scared. Dude, they have been here for just a few days. Think about what we were all like in the beginning. Huddling in corners, disoriented, crying every hour, not trusting anybody, refusing to do anything. We were all like that, for weeks or months, till we had no choice but to shuck it and live." Minho sat up in his chair and pointed to Lynn and Thomas, "Just a few days after these two show up, they step out in the Maze to save two shanks they hardly know. All this klunk about them breaking a rule is just beyond stupid. Neither of them get the rules just yet, and they stepped out there just as the Doors were closing, they were only caring about two people they needed to help." His voice was gaining strength as he spoke, Minho stood up and began to speak again, "But that wasn't the beginning. After that, they saw me give up on both them and Alby, leaving them all for dead. And I was the veteran-the one with all the experience. So when Thomas and Lynn saw me give up, they shouldn't have questioned it. But they did. They some how summoned the strength to push Alby up that wall inch by inch. It's freaking crazy. But that wasn't it, Then came the Greivers. I told them we all had to split up and I started the practiced evasive maneuvers, running in patterns. Tommy and Lynn, when they both should've been wettin' their pants, took control, defied all laws of physics and gravity to get Alby up onto that wall, diverted the Greivers away from themselves, beat one off, found a-"

"We get the point," Gally snapped, "Tommy and Lynn are lucky shanks." Minho rounded on him,

"No, you worthless shuck. You don't get it! I've been nere for two years, and I've never seen anything like it. For you to say anything..." Minho paused and rubbed his eyes, groaning in irritation. "Gally," Minho said, his voice calmer than it was before. "you're nothing but a sissy, who has never, not once, asked to be a Runner or tried out for it. You don't have the right to talk about things you don't understand. So shut your mouth."

Gally stood up from his chair, knocking it over. His face red with anger, "Say one more thing like that and I'll break your neck, right here in front of everybody." Minho laughed at his comment, he then raised the palm of his hand and shoved Gally in the chest. Thomas and Lynn half stood as they both watched the Builder fall down on his chair and snap it in two. Minho stepped closer and put the bottom of his foot down on Gally's back, driving his body flat to the ground. Lynn pulled Thomas back into his seat, both of them sitting in shock.

"I swear Gally," Minho sneered, "don't ever threaten me again. Don't ever speak to me again. Ever. If you do, I'll break your shucking neck, right after your arms and legs." Newt and Winston were already on their feet and grabbing Minho before Lynn and Thomas even knew what was going on, for a few seconds in time Lynn was actually scared of Minho, but the feeling vanished as soon as it popped into her head. They pulled him away from Gally, who was now standing with his face redder than before. He backed away from all of them, heading towards the exit. He reached behind him and grabbed the handle, "Things are different now," Gally spat, "You shouldn't have done that, Minho. You should not have done that." He turned towards Newt, "I know you hate me, that you've always hated me. You should be Banished for your embarrassing inability to lead this group. You're shameful and any one of you who stays here is no better." By now Lynn was standing up with Thomas by her side, her jaw was clenched, her eyes were narrowed, and she was glaring to no end at Gally. How dare he say something rude about her brother! Gally opened the door open and stepped outside, "Things are going to change. This, I promise." He vanished outside before anyone could even say anything. He popped his head back in the room, glaring at the Greenies. "these Greenbean's think their friggin' God. Don't forget, I've seen him before. And she came out of the shucking Maze claiming she came from a place just like this." He paused, looking aroud the room. When his stare met Lynn and Thomas' again, he spoke. "Whatever you two came here for-I swear on my life I'm gonna stop it. Kill you both with my bare hands if you have too." He then turned and walked out of the room slamming the door on his way out.

Again, I am really sorry this chapter took so long. Please remember to follow, favorite, and review the story. I'll see you guys on Sunday humans!
