"Your doing great guys, the doors should be opening soon so let's go get Alby and head back to the glade" I talk to Minho and Thomas while they are out of breath from running around all night. We head towards the vines we put Alby up when the night started so he was safe and we untied him, Minho and Thomas picked him up and I started running, passing corners and corners to get back to the maze. I see the door and quickly run back to Minho and Thomas who are walking so slow.

"Come on you slowpokes!" I jump excitedly and slow down a bit for them.

"Your not the one carrying a fully grown man" Minho says and Thomas laughs a bit.

"Whatever. After all I did save you" I give them a big smile and I hear the door open from a few corners away.

"COME ON!" I run towards the door leaving Minho and Thomas behind to see Newt. After a minute I find my way to the fully open door and stand there still, still in the maze. Just about seen by everyone. They were all walking away from the door and then someone turned around.

"What the-" everyone turned round to look at me. Some people were shocked and some smiling so hard just like Chuck giving me the biggest grin. Then Newt turns around and looks at me. Even from far away I could see his red puffy eyes. He's been crying. I look at him and smile at him, he looks back at me, almost looking dead, I didn't think about what would happen to Newt during the e night, about how he would feel but I had to. I just had to.

"HURRY UP!" I shout at Minho and Thomas again urging them to hurry up and get in the glade. As they turn the corner, carrying Alby, everyone cheers except Newt who was still standing still, staring at me. He looked lifeless. I ran leaving them behind and run past the other graders towards Newt and I jump into a hug and he picks me up off the floor with his head in my neck, one arm carrying me, just about, and another holding my head tightly. I jump down and look at him in his beautiful eyes that now look more lively than before and I kiss him as if it were our first kiss all over again. Passionate and loving.

"I love you so much. I thought I lost you!" Newt looks at me and grabs my hand and squeezes it. I look down at his hands that are red and bloody and pick them up.

"What did you do to your hands?" I look at them worryingly and try not to touch the cut parts on his hands.

"No one survives a night in the maze." He looked at me still shocked.

"I did. We all did. We're back! And I'm alive, you don't need to worry. I love you" he pulls me in, grabbing my waist and hugs me. I put my hands around his neck and we stand like that for a while until I remember Alby and the boys. "Here" I rip a part of my sleeve on my top and wrap it around Newts hand and then rip another part off the other to make my shirt equal and wrap it around his other hand. "All better!" I smile and him and gently take his hand to walk over to the glasses huddled around Alby.

"Did you see a greiver?" Chuck said as I walked up to the group.

"Yeh. I saw a griever" I look around at everyone and they all look at me in shock.

"She didn't just see it" Thomas said, everyone starts looking confused.

"She killed it" Minho then said, finishing off Thomas's sentence. Everyone then looked at me a lot more shocked than before when I said I saw one. I did kill it. I lured it to one of the moving maze walls and it came after me. My plan had worked, I made it through to the other side, just about and the grieved didn't. I got squashed between the walls. I killed it.

Everyone went into the council hall to discuss what just happened. Gally didn't seem too happy that I was back alive.

"We have coexisted with these things for three years and now YOU have gone and killed one of them. Who knows what that means!" Gally talks directly to me. Pointing at me when he shouts 'you'. "Also you broke the rules. Thomas and Ivy went into the maze, not following the rules! They should be punished!" Everyone starts shouting at each other. Half angry with me and Thomas and half supportive.

"We should just make them runners!" Minho said.

"I don't think that's necessary Minho." Newt shouts from behind me, leaning against a tree. He looks cute there. What am I doing? Wait what did he say?

"What?" I shout out at Newt. He doesn't want me to be a runner. Why doesn't he want me to be a runner?

"I'm sorry Ivy but I don't think that you should be a runner. It's too dangerous and I can't loose you again." I could tell that Newt was in a lot of pain when I came back after loosing me for a while night. Not knowing if I will make it but I belong to be a runner.

"Newt! We survived a whole night. Like you said, no ones ever done that before!" I try really hard but he won't listen to me.

"Look...I can't-" as soon as Newt starts to speak Gally jumps in.

"We don't need to hear a whole relationship argue right now! This is an important meeting about what to do now that Thomas and Ivy have disrupted the balance in the glade between people and the maze" everyone stops talking to Gally and as I try to speak Gally carry's on talking, "there's something that I know about the glade and I know-" we all hear a loud noise coming from the box.

"This shouldn't be happening" Gally says as he runs out the room, everyone follows, including Newt and I but he stops me half way towards the box where everyone is rushing to. He grabs my hand and pulls me towards him catching me off guard.

"I'm sorry, you know I would make you a runner, but I can't. I can't bloody loose you again!" I understand what he's saying.

"I know. But I survived a night in the maze, I killed a greiver. I think I'm perfectly capable of being a runner after all that" I talk softly.

"Ok" Newt says looking at me in the eyes and gives me a quick kiss and then we carry on running towards the box. The boys already have the door open and as Newt and I push to the front I gasp.

"TERESA?" I know her. It all came back to me as soon as I saw her face. Teresa is my sister. I remember her. I don't remember anything else but I remember her.
