Chapter Ten
A/N: I'm so sorry! I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever! I had writers block and I just couldn't bring myself to write! I'm so sorry!!!
I don't know how to take Minho's act of kindness that he did yesterday.
After I finished my dinner I just out the plate to the side and laid down, thinking about the days events and what happened to me, to Thomas, and then to Gally. I ended up falling asleep soon after I satrted to think about Gally though.
I don't sit up or anything for a good half hour before someone comes to check if I'm awake yet or not. Clint, the Med Jack that's mostly been taking care if me, comes in and checks my arm once more.
"Your arm is don't well, you can soon take your arm out of the cast." He says and I nod.
"You can go out now, Minho is still in the pit for now. Newt is working and Thomas is in the homestead." He explains and I smile a little.
"Thank you." I say softly as I hug him. He looses his balance for a second but quickly hugs back. "It's my job." He says but I can tell he's smiling.
He pulls away and stands up before he walks out. I stand up and strech for a second before I walk out and back into the chaos of the glade.
I walk over to the homestead and sit in my hammock. "Amelia!" I hear Thomas's voice say and I turn around. He hugs me, almost making me fall out of the hammock. "I just heard about last night. Are you okay?" He asks and I nod, smiling. He smiled and let go of me.
"So um, can we talk?" He asks and I look at him unsure. "Uh yeah, what about?" I ask and he sighs. "Me being a jerk." He says and I nod a little, looking over at Newt, and Alby.
"I'm really sorry. I really didn't now why I was so rude to you. I guess I thought of Gally and I didn't want you to get hurt." He says and I nod a little, unsure if he's going to continue or not.
Before he says anything Newt runs up to us. "Alby wants to talk to you Amelia." He says and I nod standing up.
I look back at Thomas and see a sad expression on his face. "Don't worry, we'll continue this talk when I get back okay?" I ask and he nods. I bite my lip and follow Newt to where Alby is.
Newt leads me to where Alby is waiting with his arms crossed and I don't get a very good feeling about this meeting.
"We're calling a keeper meeting, and we're going to discuss what we're going to do with you." Alby says once I get in front of him.
"Yes, Gally will be there and so will Minho. They will be on the opposite side of the room so they don't attack each other and you will be sitting in the corner. You will not speak unless spoken to or I nod at you to speak." He explains and I nod. That's going to be a little difficult. "I know that's going to be hard but don't say anything okay?" He asks and I nod with out saying a word.
"Already practicing?" He asked and I roll my eyes. "Just trying not to get yelled at by you before the meeting even starts." I say and he laughs a little. "Okay then." He says and walks away into one of the little buildings.
I sigh and look at Newt. "Okay, the meeting will start in a couple of minutes. Just wait by the door okay?" He asked and I nod. "Thank you." I say and walk over to the doors of the building.
It takes about an hour for the meeting to even start. I'm sitting on this little box in the corner of the room and while the keepers are all standing around in a half circle in front of me.
"So right now we're here to talk about Amelia and how we should proceed with her." Alby says and glances in my direction. "Obvisouly we should banish her." Gally says and I bite my tounge instead of saying, stop acting like a teenage girl and I won't have any reason to be 'annoying'. "Obviously, we're not going to do that shuck face." Minho says from across the room.
"Gally, Minho calm down. No, we're not going to banish her unless she hurts a glader directly and she hasn't done that." Newt says from next to Alby. "She hurt Ben." Gally says simply. Yeah, to keep myself from dying. "For her own defense! He was going to strangle her! He was chocking her! Her face was turning blue Gally!" Minho yelled and Alby walks over to him.
"Calm down or you're not apart if this meeting." He says and walks back to where he was standing. I can tell Minho is still fuming and he really wants to punch Gally again. "Now, let's explain some reasonable things." Alby says and everyone's silent for a couple of seconds.
"There was a griever in the middle of the day, in the spot she woke up. Don't you think that that's weird? Obviously there's something wrong, and she needs to come with me once again. We need to figure out what's special about that spot." Minho says and everyone looks at him. "So you're suggesting that she would go back in the maze?" Newt asks to clarify.
"Yes, I am. I'm down a runner so it just makes sense." Minho adds on. "No! The one that caused all of this shit going back into the maze?! No!" Gally yells and Alby groans. "Gally! Calm down or you will be kicked out of this meeting!" He yells and Gally leans against the wall behind him. "A day in the pit?" Frypan suggests and everyone nods. "Okay, one day in the pit is set." Alby says and I sigh softly.
"What shank? Got a problem with that?" Gally asks as everyone looks at me. I look at Alby and cross my arms. "Oh, wow silent for once." He scoffs and looks at Alby. I hate this, this is so bad and all I want to do it go up to Gally, scream in his face and slap him.
"And then she becomes a runner." Newt adds on and everyone looks at him bursting into conversation
