Thomas
I had been sat with Teresa for a good while now. Just talking calmly with her and trying to explain all that had been explained to me a few days earlier.
I didn't know who this girl was. And she didn't entirely know who I was either. All the other boys thought she was dangerous. But after sitting with her and talking I knew that she wasn't a danger at all. She just panicked like the rest of us did.
Sh told me that apparently she said my name in her sleep. It's all she could remember. I told her of the dreams, or flashbacks, I had and told her of how she was in it.
"Why are we here?" Teresa asked as we sat on top of the tree tower. I studied her face and I shrugged.
"I don't know." I said honestly and she nodded.
"Why are we different?" She asked and again I shrugged and shook my head at her question. "These were in my pocket when I came up. I don't know what they're for" she held out two blue syringes and I held them in my hand. What are you for? I said in my head.
"Wait. Faith, she's been stung. Maybe..."
"We should go and see" Teresa said and we climbed back down and ran over to the medjack hut.

We explained the syringes to Newt and he looked into my eyes suspiciously. "We don't know what these things are or why you have them. This could kill her!" He said raising his voice and it was evident that he cared greatly for her safety, and her life. But so did I. And we had to take this chance.
"Newt she's already dying" I said getting in Newts face. I could see he had to restrain himself from lashing out at me. But he had to understand. This could save her.
I turned and looked back at Faith. The room had become silent. The little noises no longer leaving her mouth. The veins in her body stood out and as I leaned over her eyes flung open.
"Hey..." I whispered but she started to lash out crying and screaming her body convulsing as I tried to hold her arms down.
It turned into chaos.
Teresa, before Newt could protest, jammed the syringe into Faiths lower stomach. The convulsing stopped, her eyes shut again. It was quiet.
"Someone stays here and watches her at all hours day and night!" Newt yelled and we all agreed. We made up shifts and it all calmed down a bit. I was just worried that we had just killed her. And it would be my fault.
We had to find a way out.
"I'm going back into the maze" I said to Minho as we walked out of the hut.
"You just got out why the hell are you so desperate to get back in?" He asked and I turned to him.
"The griever. No one has ever seen one and lived to tell about it. But now we have one. I say we go and check it out" I explained and Minho sighed. "I'll go in myself if I have to"
"Stop being dramatic. Meet me in the woods in ten minutes" Minho said running away.

I walked to the woods and saw Minho stood with Jeff, Winston and Frypan.
"Let's go" Minho said and we all ran through the north doors and retraced our footsteps to where the griever was squished.
"Damn Thomas." Fry said and I shrugged.
"There's something flashing in there" I stated and Minho nodded before reaching in and trying to pull the flashing object out.
"Let's try and pull it all out" I suggested and we each grabbed a hold of part of the creatures leg.
As we pulled it out the flashing object flew out along with the leg.
Minho picked it up and we saw it had letters along it. And a number. "Whatever that thing is, can we take it back to the glade. I don't want to meet any live ones" Jeff said and we nodded running back into the glade.
When we got back Newt and a few other keepers stood round the doors. This can't be good.
"Council house. Now" Newt said and we all nodded before walking glumly to the house. Newt looked mad. And I doubt that a mad Newt was never nice to witness.

"Thomas has gone into the maze again. He's clearly violating our rules" Gally said and a lot of the keepers agreed.
"Newt we found something out there. It could help us out" I said trying to defend myself. Minho nodded at Newt holding out the griever piece.
Newt examined it and ran his fingers along the lettering. "These are the same letters that are on our supplies." He said handing the device back to Minho.
"Whoever put us in here must of made the grievers" Minho said and I thought things were going well. Until Gally opened his mouth.
"Newt! He has to be punished. He's not a runner"
"And we can't have non runners going into the maze whenever they feel like it" Newt finished. I hung my head knowing I had done wrong. But I could of found a way out and that was something.
"So one night in the pits and no food" Newt said and I smiled inside. I looked up and discretely smiled at Newt.
"Oh come on. You think that's going to stop him from going in there?" Gally argued. If Gally wasn't here, then I'd be off the hook with Newt.
"No. So let's make it official. Starting from tomorrow Thomas you're a runner" Newt said keeping a straight expression. I saw Minho nod at Newt and Gally storm off at the verdict.
Newt and I were left in the house on our own. "Thank you" I said to him and he nodded still keeping a straight face.
"If there's even a sign of getting out then I know Faith would of done the same." He told me. And I knew I would have him to thank if I did find a way out. He went against most people and made me a runner. I knew he wanted to get out just as much as we all did.

Newt
I had to follow what I knew Faith would do and what my heart was telling me to do. I knew within myself that it was the right decision. I wanted to get out of here and I was certain that Thomas would be the one to get us out of here. I would never admit it, but him and Faith, I would follow them anywhere. Even if it meant dying, I would still follow them.
I walked slowly to the medjack hut as night began to fall.
"Go. I'll stay with her tonight" I said and the two medjacks left the hut. I paced around for a while before I heard a slight cough coming from her. My girl.
I sat down by her bed and watched for her eyes to open. And they did. Slowly.
"Newt" she whispered her eyes flittering around the room.
"Hey. How you feeling?"
"Like shit" she whispered.
"I needed you today. Thomas went into the maze and rescued you. And again after that. I made him a runner, I hope you're ok with that" I told her quickly and I got a brief nod back. "I need you"
"I would of done the same. I trust you Newt" Faith whispered and her eyes closed again.
"I'm staying by you tonight. I'm here" I said holding her hand but she didn't hold it back as she fell back into unconsciousness.

"Sundown greenie. Let's go" Gally said walking in and quickly I turned around. Thomas stood in the other doorway.
"Jesus. I didn't even know you were here" I said and Thomas smiled sadly before walking away with Gally.
I felt bad for Thomas and how Gally was so tough on him. Especially if he thinks he's found a way out. I guess we'll tell tomorrow if his way out is really a way out or just another dead end. All I hoped is that Faith was back on her feet by tomorrow morning and ready to break out of this place.
