Hey guys so as of right now no one is reading my book but hey maybe someone will eventually:( I'm still going to keep posting more chapter just in case someone does read so enjoy <3 (also this was kinda rushed so excuse the grammar, spelling, and bad punctuation)


Well shit" I replied

The griever started running at me. I'm not going to lie, it took me a minute to pull myself together and not laugh. I mean it looked hilarious, but anyway. I took off running, I had no idea where I was going or what I was doing. I was in the maze, whatever that was and my chances were not looking very good at the moment. I didn't know what was happening but I realised how close the griever was to me. I was staring at the walls and I realised there were a ton of vines just hanging from the top of each wall. I took a sharp right and just like predicted the griever stumbled.

I continued to take sharp turns, but I quickly realised how hard this was. I may be fast but running all night long is definitely not something I could do. I looked up at the vines. Suddenly I got an idea.

I took a sharp right and hid behind a ton of vines. I could hear the griever move, I was praying and hoping that the griever did not see me. I heard it walk away. I was in the clear.

I started climbing up the vines. I didn't exactly know what I was doing but I never did. I climbed until I got to the top of the wall. It was so high, but for some reason it didn't faze me. It's almost like I already knew what to do.

Then it hit me. Who the hell am I. I could not remember a single thing, nothing. I decided to put it away, I know I was mortified but obviously I was smart, or am. Whoever I am or was must have been smart because without thinking I am always logical.

I was thinking about what the guys said. The Newt kid seemed kind nice, and none of them tried to hurt me. If anything they tried to warn me, I didn't know what I was thinking. I keep debating in my head. They could've killed me if they were evil, but they could have just not had the opportunity too. Then again they didn't come down with weapons or anything, but they might have thought no one was there. I was like that for a while, fighting internally with myself.

I look over to see a griever climbing a wall. I don't think it saw me, well that's wonderful those things can climb walls.

I didn't know what time it was but I know I dosed off for a while. When I woke up I decided to go down and switch walls. However, right before I did I noticed something, I was in a different place then I was before. I had somehow moved, that's when I heard rumbling. I realised fairly quickly that apparently the maze walls shift.

"Well that's great" I muttered

I knew there was no way I could survive on my own, especially nor more than one night with those griever things.

For some reason I felt like crying. I don't know why but I did. I wanted to give up, what was the point. I don't remember who I am, I'm in the middle of a god damn maze, and these griever things are trying to kill me every waking moment they got.

Then I remembered something the boys said. No one has ever survived a night in the maze. If I managed to survive then I can go back to them tomorrow, I can tell them I found a way to survive. They can't kill me if I have valuable information like that.

"God Eloise you are such a genius" I quietly muttered to myself

That's when it hit me, I remembered my name. My name is Eloise and something else was hitting me. Something I was trying to remember.

"I-I have a brother" I said "And his name is Ben"

Woah. The dude was my brother, I can't even process that. What if it's not true. What if I am fooling myself or the people who took my memory are just trying to trick me.

I stopped, it doesn't matter I will figure that out later.

The rest of the night consisted of a lot of moving. I would go to the top of a wall, stay a while and then move.

There was no way in hell I would let any of those griver things hurt me.

The last thing I remember was dozing off on top of my 6th wall.

When I woke up the sun was already up, great I slept in.

I decided I was going to see if the wall things had opened. What if they don't open, what if I have to stay out here all alone. I started to panic. I tried calming myself down by telling myself that the boys had said no one has survived one night, they never said anything else.

I started getting down, I was quiet and careful. The last thing I need is to get killed by a griever.

I noticed that I hadn't heard or seen a griver, maybe their nocturnal. Who knows the point is I need to find the entrance.

I kept walking until I realised I could just get on top of a wall and see where I was and where I needed to go.

I started climbing up one of the vines when it suddenly snapped. I grabbed a second one almost instantly, like it was reflex. Whoever I was before must have had killer reflexes.

I got to the top, that's when I realised I had been walking in the complete other direction. I was going south when I needed to be going north.

"This day could not be getting any better" I grumbled

I spent the rest of the day running, I was completely dehydrated.

"At this rate I'll be dead from dehydration instead of grievers" I said to myself

I started to walk, I didn't need to die of dehydration, at least my death should be somewhat interesting.

The rest of the day consisted of walking, running, and climbing.

I looked up to see the sun

"Well the sun should set in about 2 hours according to its phases" I stated

Great so I was logical and smart, what else could I do?

As I was walking I found more and more things about myself, I could speak german, spanish, and french, I was great at math, and I was very athletic.

I mean at this point I had to have been running for at least 20 hours, I mean come on I was cool.

I finally made it close to the opening and just in time the sun was setting. I could see a little boy picking up garbage from the place where the box is. He looked up and his mouth drooped.

"She made it, oh my shuck she made it threw a night" he screamed

Most of the guys looked at him confused until they looked up at me. Their mouths dropped to the floor too.

They all stood by the entrance and told me to hurry up. I was a little scared but eventually started walking closer. That's when I heard the rumbling.

"Hurry up the doors are closing" the little boy said

I ran as fast as I could, which was not as fast as usual. I was dehydrated and exhausted, but I made it.

That's all I remember before I passed out.
