chapter 2

Kimiwara woke up to a hand pressed against her mouth tightly so she instantly felt panic surge through her till she shot her eyes open and looked up to see the leader, Alby standing beside her laying body and he had a finger pressed against his lips before he pointed at the other sleeping gladers. Including Newt who was still sleeping soundly as his shoulder raised up and down ever so slightly with his breaths.

She glanced back at Alby and nodded a bit to signal she was going to be quiet and Alby understood, slipping his hand off her mouth and his finger off his lips before he motioned with his hand for her to follow him and she felt curious about what Alby would want from her so early in the morning that barely anyone was awake apart from the two of them but decided to follow him anyways. She sat herself up and then tugged on her boots before zipping them up and getting to her feet.

" Cmon.." Alby whispered so quietly she could barely catch it and began to walk away, making sure to make as little to no noise at all while Kimiwara followed at his heels, stepping over the sleeping bodies swiftly as she made her way around and kept following Albys lead.

Soon, they passed the gladers, luckily not stepping on anybodys hand or leg and now she walked normally since she noticed Alby did as well with the abesence of bodies at their feet. She glanced at the appealing sunrise and the Glade looked surprisingly beautiful in the mornings, it somewhat reminded her of living in a countryside at a farm. Just the atmosphere of the preety golden sun, the dampness of the grass as it glistened and the soft wind blowing though them as if whistling everyone a sweet and harmonious morning melody. Kimiwara felt herself sigh and feel the same odd feeling of comfort she had felt the day before which she started to sort of enjoy now and in a way, this place was indeed her home now.

" its peaceful, isnt it? here? "

Albys voice was calm and montone as he spoke, yet his tone sounded worried. Kimiwara then glanced at Alby and saw him looking slightly down at the grass with an expression that looked like he wanted to tell her something but was hesitating or thought it was a bad idea so Kimiwara now turned her full attention to him, focusing on his next words if he was ever to say anything else.

" its hard to believe Kimiwara but it wasnt always like how it is.. it used to be worse. "

Kimiwara slightly shuddered at that statement, curious as to what he ment by ' used to be worse ' however she didnt want to question it in case Alby would get upset or shed ruin her shot at finding out more so she stayed silent with her mind rushing about the meaning of that statement while she stayed looking at Alby, then turned her attention to the front and saw they were headed towards the north wall. That grew her confusion even more but it begame worry when she saw Alby holding a small, sharpened knife in his hand, the blade pointing down so she tensed up a little but kept following him nonetheless, sure whatever he was going to use that for wouldnt be for a harmful purpose.

" look Kimiwara, we lost...we lost alot of boys to fear..and panic and worry.."

She took in this information and for the first time since the hammock, Alby turned to her to look at her and his expression was powerfully serious and focused which surprised Kimiwara alot. She never thought shed see such a serious expression in her life yet there she did. Kimiwara took in what Alby was saying but stayed silent and with that, he looked away from her again and focused ahead. Alby didnt say another word until they reached the north wall and now, she just turned around and looked at the Glade.

" Now thought, we established order..we made peace and we live here safely.." Alby looked at her again and motioned to the Glade, this time back to his usual authorative expression as his lips were held tight together. Kimiwara glanced back at him before nodding slightly, listening to what hes saying.
