The Glade Walker

Chapter 13

Shailene had never been in the Maze before, but it looked exactly like she imagined it to be. Huge stone walls towered above her, ivy draping over the walls. Dark passages sent out a shiver through Shailene, but she continued running. Minho was at the fromt of the pack, and Thomas was at the back. Shailene ran alongside Newt and the boy named Chuck, keeping stride with Newt, while Chuck was a pudgy thing, and was a little bit behind her.
"Ya alright there, Greenie?" Newt piped up.
"Ya. I guess so. I mean, it can't get much worse can it? We're in a bloody maze." Shailene exclaimed. Newt laughed, and said
"Hey, only I can say bloody. Bloody is my thing ya bloody shank." Newt gave her a wink, and turned left. Shailene didn't realize they were turning, and almost ran into the wall. Newt chuckled and took your hand.
"Best not run into any bloody walls. Let me tell you, they aren't fun." Newt said. There was something in his eye that was a mix if humor- and a bit of sadness. Shailene smiled back, and they continued running.

They stopped by a dead end, and a couple Gladers started panicking. Minho pulled out a long device, and it made a beeping noise. The walls began to rise, and there were a few layers of walls. On the inside there was a circle hole, where there was a screen with 8 numbers printed on it.

Out of nowhere, a Griever falls from the top of the Maze. It hisses and groans metallic noises, and the Gladers pull out their weapons. All Shailene had was a knife, and that wasn't going to help at all. The only way she could defend herself was to run.

Gladers started being picked off one by one, including Zart. Poor guy. She didn't know him well, but he was still a fellow Glader. Thomas through his spear at the Griever's eye, and it started cowering back. More Grievers started falling from the ceiling of the Maze. Newt was running towards the circle, and was almost pushed off by the Grievers. He dodged every single one, and managed to get to the circle. Shailene decided to follow him. She twisted and turned through the heavy mass of battle, and eventually made it by Newt.
"Why the bloody are you here?" Newt exclaimed, and hugged her. He began typing numbers in, and began shouting.
"Come on! Im almost done with the sequence!"
Gladers began shifting towards the circle, and eventually Thomas and Minho and Chuck made it in. A few Gladers lay on the ground, lifeless. Shailene shut her eyes at the sight. Once everyone was in, Newt pressed the last digit. Once he did, the screen said "Complete" and the hole went dark.
