Maze B

Part 6 - Die without a fight or die fighting

A couple days after Aris came, nothing had really changed. Aris is definitely a quiet kid, but me and him have a very good connection. We're closer to each other then anyone else, and we always have each others backs.

I got my job, nurse. I liked helping people, but I was told I'm also quite good as being a builder. They said my strength is fantastic, I was slightly shocked to hear that but oh my word that really stayed in my head and made me believe I was the strongest one there.

It was pretty late in the afternoon, meaning the door are due to close soon. Only a couple people came in today with injuries, but not a lot; mostly also being scratches or bruises from the vines. So I decided I would go and wait by the door. I was walking over to see everyone crowded by the door. I only came to investigate the maze from what I could see. I decided to squeeze through everyone to the front to see what the fuss was. I met with Shelly at the front, her face looked quite panicked. I asked her what was wrong, she looked up into my eyes. Panic written all over.

"They haven't come back yet".

"Who hasn't?"

"B-bella and Anna, they're meant to be back here by now. The doors are going to close any second"

As she just said the deafening boom overtook all the noise, a gush of wind with leaves burst out the door.

"The doors are closing..." I heard Shelly say

We looked into the maze praying, then one of the girls shouted out "THEY'RE OVER THERE LOOK", everyone snapped their heads back towards the maze and we all started shouting and cheering to Bella and Anna, but noticed soon enough Anna was carrying Bella, dragging her as fast as she could to the Glade. She wasn't going to get here in time.

"COME ON YOU CAN MAKE IT"

"ALMOST THERE"

"LEAVE HER AND COME HERE"

As the strong and determined girl Anna was, she kept going as fast as she could despite her injuries. I looked around and met with Aris eyes, we looked at each other. Then I turned back to the maze. As the doors were a couple feet apart, maybe able to fit 1 average shoulder length. The urge came back, except I needed to go in.

Without thinking I ran in, squeezing through the last bit of space I could fit through. Barely making it. I got to the other side to be met with a disapproving face, Anna's. Even through Anna was a chef sometimes she would come out into the maze to help Bella. After the incident that happened with Amelia, Anna is now the second in command. She was a pretty good runner, but she preferred to be a chef, culinary just seemed to stir her pot. (sorry bad joke)

Anna rolled down onto the concrete wall, whilst I was looking around about the huge walls in front of me. "Great then there was 3 to be buried." I snapped my head round to Anna and asked her what she meant by that. "Nobody survives a night in the maze". I looked around, bringing Bella with me.

"Then let's be first" I said with a smirk.

I took one of Bella's arms and starting walking, I looked back to see Anna looking at me confused. "Are you going to sit there and die, or try?". She looked at me then stood up taking Bella's other arm.

"Let's do this"
