"Guys guys!" Chuck called out, toeing the edge of the maze's labyrinth. His greetings muted as we made it inside. He hugged me tight as soon as he was able.
"What's wrong Chuck?" I asked, holding him by his shoulders. His head stayed bowed down, even his ringlets had fell flat.
"Gally found out you guys left." Oh shit. "He called a meeting of the keepers. Everyone's at the homestead." I already felt the heavy weight dropped on my back. I would have to face Gally. He was really acting bitchy lately. I wonder if it was his time of the month or something.
"Is he mad at me?" My eyes fell wide, staring into space. I really didn't wanna see the look on his face.
"Don't worry about it y/n okay. It's gonna be okay." Thomas's hand rubbed my shoulder, the group could all sense my nervous energy, soaking in it.
"Okay." We'll see.
______________________
We burst through the homestead's door, shuffling in one by one. Newt stayed on the couch. Gally in the other hand stood up, rearing for a fight. With who, he didn't seem to care. Jaw locked matching crossed arms.
"Nice of you to join us." Peeking around, I could see his eyes searching for me. Unfortunately for him I was covered up by Frypan my savior. "You guys enjoy your little field trip?"
"What the hell Gally." Minho seethed, little metal thing in hand. "You think you can just call a keeper meeting without us?"
"Where's my girlfriend?" Gally was staring daggers into the entire search party.
"What?" Minho really didn't know how to play dumb. Note to self, never have Minho lie for you.
"Where's my girlfriend?" Gally repeated. "You stupid or something? Y/n? I know they left with you dumb shanks. I looked through the whole glade for them." Fuck. I'm gonna have to do it eventually. Screwing my eyes shut, I stepped aside Frypan and revealed myself.
"Hi...Gal?"
"Y/n." He marched on over, tugging me towards him."Where have you been?!" His face was seeping to a murky red. His hold on my shoulders tightened.
"Gally..."
"No, where were you?!"
You're mom's house. No. No. Bad y/n. Don't be a dick. Shut the fuck up internal monologue!
"Hey, leave her alone." Thomas the hero, pulled me back by my forearm. Gally reddened an even darker shade at the contact. "She was with us the whole time. Nothing bad happened to her. She's safe-" Gally ripped me back onto him, snaking an arm around my waist. This tug o war thing was getting pretty old.
"Hey you don't get to touch her. Not now, not ever." Gally growled, stabbing a finger at Thomas. "The hell are you doing here anyway, last time I checked the Greenie wasn't a keeper. Mind waiting outside?!"
"I'm not a keeper either." I blurted.
"He stays!" Minho ordered, Gally's brows raised. "They both do." Gally, still stunned, couldn't say a thing. "What's the point of all this?"
"We've got two hours till sundown." Newt sighed, kicking at the carpet slightly. "We gotta figure out what to do with Alby."
Oh. Alby. Right.
Alby had always been so grumpy and unfair and rude but he was Alby. He was our leader. At the end of the day he was one of us. Always. But they had killed Ben. Forced him into the maze while hearing his heart splitting pleas. What's to say they won't do the same to Alby?
