In The Maze ➸Newt x Reader

Y/N POV

"Guys you ready to head out?" I said ajusting my backpack.

"Yep. Whenever you are." Newt nodded. This time Minho and Thomas led the way, Newt and I trailing behind.

We ran for about 5 minutes until Minho stopped.

"Whats's that noise?" I asked.

A crackling sound echoed through the maze. A mechanical click that sounded like static electricity.

Everyone looked around until Thomas' eyes were glued to Minho's backpack.

He lunged towards the bag, pulling out the metal contraption we found in the greiver.

"Its coming from here." Thomas said and he turned slightly. The beeps got faster in the change of direction.

"Its leading the way?" Neat suggested. Thomas ran the direction the fast beeps sounded.

"What the heck is this place?" I asked.

Minho shook his head.

"How am I supposed to know? Never seen this place before."

We walked down the long corridor, the beeps still sounding. Eventually, we walked into a room like place. A long path way leading to a wall. Surrounding the pathway were cliffs that looked as if they went on forever.

"Whoa." Newt whispered.

We stopped at the wall.

"Great, a dead end." Thomas rolled his head taking a deep breath, throwing his arms up in defeat.

The beeping stopped.

"Wha-" I started but a loud rumbling noise interrupted me. The device made a high pitched squealing sound, and then the wall started opening.

The rock wall pulling itself up as if attatched to a string. Rows of it opened.

The rumbling stopped, and at the end of the passage was a black hole.

"Is this the way out?" Newt asked.

"Well, lets go see." Minho started walking towards the hole.

We walked skittishly towards it.

As we approached it, a horrid smell reached my nose.

"Oh my what is that." my eyes watered and I plugged my nose.

Newt leaned into the hole and wiped his fingers over the top. Slime covered his fingers.

"Grievers.." He said and looked at us. He wiped his fingers on his pants and stepped back.

"Do you think this is where the greivers stay!?" I asked dumbfounded.

"Nooo0000ooo cute bunny rabbits probably stay here." Minho rolled his eyes.

I flicked his head and took a step into the dark space. Thomas grabbed my arm.

"What are you doing!?" He gave me a "You frickin serious?" look.

"Oh lighten up shuck face." I rolled my eyes and took another step in. As I took a few more steps, a bright red light whipped past me. A huge grumling sound sounded.

"Y/N! GET OUT OF THERE!" Newt screamed and grabbed for my hand. A heard a click, and then somthing opened from the other side. I turned around, still in the hole; to come face to face with a greiver.

I froze. I felt as if I couldnt breath. It was so close. I stared at it, and It stared back. Even with no eyes, I felt those deep black holes in its face bore into mine.

Thomas, Minho and Newt screamed my name, trying to call me. Before I knew it, pitch black surrounded me and the hole closed. I screamed.
