Wren woke up early the next day and grabbed breakfast from Frypan's. She then packed herself some lunch and walked over to the Maze entrance to wait for the doors to open. Minho and the other runners arrived at the door as it opened.
Wren nodded to Minho before running into the Maze and taking a left turn. She made a few more turns, drawing an X on some walls so she had landmarks. That's when Wren reached the blades and sat down for lunch.
A small jittering noise came from around a corner so Wren looked around. Wren followed the noise, being careful to not find anything she shouldn't, then turned back to start running towards the Glade.
She paused and looked at a wall. There was a splash of dried blood across it with a spear holding up a bloody shirt. Wren sighed and continued running.
She made a turn and a corner and saw a metal leg drag across the ground. Bit Wren immediately knew what it was: a Griever. They didn't show themselves during the day, but the odd few sometimes passed by, but not this close to the Glade.
"The hell?" Wren mumbled, noting it down in her notebook then continued running.
That small notice took down some time in Wren's schedule so she realised she was gonna get back a bit later than usual.
Newt was waiting at the gate for her, his arms crossed. His eyes widened and he stepped closer to the door, "Wren! Watch out!"
Wren looked behind her and saw a Griever charging at her. It had a limp leg so it was probably the one that Wren had seen previously. The boys began to gather around to see if Wren would make it.
She spun around and threw a dagger at one of the Grievers legs. The dagger got lodged into the leg and the Griever fell to the floor, skidding across the floor closer to Wren. She ended up falling to the dirt when she got to the Glade.
"What were you thinking?" Newt knelt down beside her
"I was thinking of getting back to the Glade!" Wren told him
Newt went to say something but sighed and hugged her. Wren looked over and saw the Griever back off into the Maze.
"What is it?" Wren asked
"What?" He looked at her
"You went to say something." She mumbled
"It's nothing, don't worry." He shook his head, "We're going to discuss this later."
Everyone turned to hear some yelling from the forest. Thomas ran out of the forest with Ben chasing after him.
"Help!" Thomas yelled
Ben knocked Thomas to the floor and grabbed his legs to attack him. He had blood on his forehead so Thomas must have already hit him. Wren got up and ran over, followed by everyone else.
"I'll kill you!" Ben yelled before getting kicked in the head by Wren
She pulled Ben off Thomas and held him against the ground.
"Calm down." Gally told Ben, also holding him down, "Calm down, Ben."
"Yo, what the hell happened?" Frypan asked Thomas
"He just attacked me." Thomas stood up with Chuck's help
"Calm down, Ben." Wren told Ben, now holding his head in place
"No! Not you!" Ben closed his eyes tightly
Alby walked over and Ben began to panic again.
"No. No. No." Ben tried to shake his head
