"Sometimes, you have to concede a battle to win war."
______________________Since Thomas is now a runner, Minho and Aife decided to show him the map room and why they haven't gotten anywhere without his help. "Hey, Thomas." She waved for him to follow her into the deadheads and they ran over to the hut that was made of sticks.
When she entered, there was a table with a large cloth covering what was underneath, "Yeah, what's up?" He asked them. She nodded her head for Minho to show him and he ripped off the cloth, causing her to clench her jaw at the sight.
"It's the maze." Minho nodded.
It was a mini-representation of the maze. They've been mapping it for years. they made it out of a ton of tiny sticks.
"All of it." Aife added after him with a sigh.
Thomas stopped and furrowed his eyebrows with a confused expression, "What do you mean 'all of it' i thought you were still mapping it?"
"There's nothing left to map." Minho mumbled and she nodded.
"I've run every inch of it myself, every cycle, every pattern, if there was a way out we would have found it by now." The raven headed girl muttered to them who sat in silence as they listened to her words.
"Why haven't you told anyone this?" Thomas stammered as he pointed to the small maze on the table.
"It was Aife's call." Minho sighed as she nodded slowly, Thomas gave the girl a small nod. That's when she spoke up, "People needed to believe we have a chance of getting out. But maybe now, we actually have a real chance."
"Yeah, Take a look at this," Minho decided to point to the maze as he spoke, "About a year ago, we started exploring these outer sections. Alright, we found these numbers, they're printed on the walls. Sections one- through eight. See the way it works, is every night, when the maze changes, it opens up a new section."
Aife began to speak once more, "So today, section six was open. Tomorrow, it'll be four and eight and three- The pattern, always stays the same."
Thomas was fidgeting with the odd device they had found inside the griever, "Whats so special about seven?"
"I don't know. Last night when you killed that griever, Section seven was open. I think it must be where it comes from." Minho explained as Thomas thought to himself.
