"He'll wake up soon."

"ISLA, WAKE UP." Someone shook her. She opened her eyes to see the blue eyed girl. "Deedee, what's wrong?" Leanne frowns, but gets up anyway. "We have to go. We're not safe here." The blue eyed girl, Deedee, says. "What do you mean, 'not safe'?" Deedee throws a bag at Leanne, and the blonde catches it. "The cranks, they're here." Leanne gasps, but follows the girl anyway. "We can't just leave her." Deedee turns around to look at her. "Isla," She says harshly. "She's one of them now. She's not gonna get better no matter how hard we try, okay?" Deedee watches her, and waits until Leanne nods. "Good. Let's go."
Leanne gasps awake, finding herself in her dark hut. She sighs, running a hand through her hair. Now, she has the name of the blue eyed girl: Deedee. But who was Isla? Or was that her?
The wait for the morning was long and painful. Sleeping wasn't an option. Not after her dream. Instead, she found herself walking across the Glade, towards the names on the wall. There were so many up on there. The moonlight was enough for Leanne to see what she was looking at, even though she had already memorized every single name carved into the cement. She runs her hands along the names, stopping when her fingers traced over one name. Elliott.
"I'm sorry, Lottie." Leanne whispers softly. "I'm so sorry."
As the sun began to rise, Leanne found herself to be the first one sitting in front of the Maze doors. Slowly, other boys came to sit with her. Chuck was standing in front of the Maze when it began to open. "Guys, get up!" He calls to them. Leanne bounces up on her feet and stands in front of the opening.
No one was in sight. "I told you Chuck," Newt says from beside him. "They're not coming back." The boys begin to disperse. Chuck turns around and watches them go, but Leanne doesn't move.
The entire night, she'd hoped they would come back and although she didn't want to lose hope now, they weren't there. Leanne turns to watch the boys leaving, but doesn't move.
"You think they're dead?" Chuck asks innocently behind her, continuing to watch the Maze.
"I don't know, Chu—"
"Wait! Wait!" Chuck yells. Leanne spins on her feet and turns around to face the Maze. At the end of the long hallway, she can just make out three figures. Everyone turns around and comes back quickly. "Yeah! Yeah!" Chuck cheers.
Leanne watches as Thomas and Minho drag Alby towards them. She smiles, exhaling happily that they're all here, but there's still a weight resting on her shoulders. "Set him down."
"I got him, I got him, I got him." Somebody says.
"Watch out. Easy."
She crouched down beside Thomas, looking over Alby. "You saw a Griever?" Chuck asks.
