The Maze Runner [Minho x reader] ~Book one~

12. Griever Pancake

You

You and Minho had gotten a few of the boys to join Thomas' adventure back into the maze; Frypan, Zart, and Winston. This would be your first time back into the maze after what had happened, the only problem is you didn't know if any of you would be allowed back into the maze after this. No non runners in the maze, you were surprised Thomas didn't get the pit after his last trip to the maze, well all thing considered the meeting was interrupted. 

As the five of you tuned the corner Thomas was leaning up against the map room waiting like he was instructed to. "Will this be enough?" The question was rhetorical considering you were only able to get the three others without Newt or Gally finding out. Minho adjusted the straps of his pack while Thomas scanned the group of people in front of him.

"Okay," Thomas gave you a side look which you had noticed he'd been doing for a while "Lets go" The six of you began to run towards the doors of the maze, Newt and Gally were still in talking to Jeff or Clint about the girl who had showed up so you only got a few weird looks from the gladers but no one tried to stop you.

Minho was in front of you and the rest of the group as he lead you to where you assumed the griever had been crushed "C'mon!" Zart was looking around like a lost puppy and began running a bit faster at Minhos command. As the six of you turned a corner Minho stopped and turned his attention to down the hallway.

"That's pleasant" You muttered under your breath when you saw the leg of the crushed griever sticking out between two of the stone walls, surrounded by green ooze. Zart stifled a laugh as Minho started walking towards the metal leg.

Three metal legs were sticking out and at the bottom on the floor looked to be some sort of insides of the creacher, you and Zart shared a grossed out facial expression as the group examined the dead griever. You stayed at a distance from the thing, still slightly scared of the griever with the image of it hovering above you still set in stone in your mind.

"That's disgusting" Zarts voice snapped you out of your thoughts and you nodded in agreement. Minho seemed to have noticed the look that you were giving the griever because he raised his eyebrows at you from where he was standing next to Thomas as seemingly a way to ask 'are you okay?" ' you nodded quickly and turned back to the griever.

"Hey there's something in there" Thomas spoke quietly as he squinted his eyes and leaned forwards towards the crack in the stone, everyone looked to see what he was talking about, trying to also catch a glimpse of what Thomas had seen.

"You mean besides a griever pancake?" Frypans comment seemed to go unnoticed as Minho gave Thomas a side eye and began stepping forward towards the stone, trying to get a better look at the thing.

"Woah, woah, woah, what are you doing?" Zart asked as Minho went to grab one of the metal legs of the griever, his hand gripping on tighter to the staff that he had carried along with him into the maze. Your eyes widened as Minho stuck his hand into the gap in the stone and began to feel for something. His face contorting into disgust as his face was close to the dead griever and it didn't smell the very best.

Minho seemed to have hit some sort of trigger on the leg of the griever because it began to close, making Minho flinch away and you grab his arm and pull him back quickly. The other boys grabbed him to stabilize his from the force you had pulled him back. Yous hands were both wrapped around his forearm, your grip probably uncomfortably tight for him.

"I thought you said it was dead!" Frypan accused as everyone kept their eyes glued to the robot, seeing if it was going to move again without warning. You slowly let go of Minhos arm and he looked at over at you, he wasn't able to meet your eyes though as they weren't letting the griever out of your sight, eyes widened as you stared.
