Part 5: The changing

—

It finally stopped raining, luckily Minho and Alby would still have time to get back, I just have a bad feeling,

"Back to work everyone!" Newt says,

I follow him along with Thomas because I do a little bit of everything when it comes to jobs,

I'm unsure if they actually gave Thomas a job as a
track-ho,

Newt begins working on one of the vines which I don't really care to ask what they are,

Thomas is toying with a shovel, not really even digging,

I'm picking out weeds,

"Has anyone tried climbing to the top?" Thomas asks suddenly,

"Tried it, the ivy doesn't go all the way to the top, and besides where are you gonna go from there?" Newt responds,

"Well what about the box? You know next time it comes up you ju~"

Newt cuts him off, "no we tried that, the box won't go back down with someone in it."

"Okay well, what if we~"

"We tried it, alright? Twice, alright trust me, anything you think of, we already tried it." He cuts Thomas off again,

"The only way out of here is through the maze, now look, you want to be helpful? Go and dig us up some more fertilizer."

Newt throws a bucket at Thomas,

He barley catches it and nearly trips over himself in the process,

"Here, give me that, I'll do it." I tell thomas,

I take the bucket from his hands,

"Are you sure?" Thomas asks,

"Yeah, I wanted to anyway." I turn to head into the trees,

"Thanks." He calls out,

"No problem."

I make my way further into the wooded area, stepping in puddles,

Walking over rocks and dead leaves,

I come to a strange looking thing on the ground, I've never seen anything like it,

As I make my way closer I see, bones and lots of flies,

There's a name carved into a piece of wood, 'George'

I don't care to touch it or inspect it further,

I hear a bird flutter it's wings and a branch snaps behind me,

I turn around and I'm met with a startle,

"Ben, Hey are you okay?"

He's breathing heavily, he looks sickly,

He starts making an animalistic growling noise,

I take a step back,

He charges me and I fall straight on my back,

I let out a frightened scream,

"Get the hell off me! Ben!" I scream,

"You did this, I saw you!" Ben hollers,

He grips my wrists, his nails digging into them,

I let a painful scream this time,

I do anything I can, trying to push him off in anyway,
