TW: Swearing,gore

You run as fast as you can to the wall you witness closing in front of you and the boys all start shouting and laughing at you. "There's no way she'll make it!" Minho yells. " She's not going to go in, she will surely trip before she reaches there!" Newt shouts. You get closer and closer until they realize that you really are going to enter, "Someone, stop her!" You overhear someone holler. 

You glance back and recognise Thomas starting to run after you, he's catching up but as you thought he had gotten to you, you moved within the closing walls.  Thomas was right outside, "Don't do it, Thomas, you'll get yourself killed," another follows  Thomas. He hesitated while being held back by the others once they had caught up with him. You take a right and hear Thomas whisper, "Fuck, I have to go after her." With that, he slid through the closing walls and followed after you. 

You stopped to catch your breath when he crashed into you causing you to collapse on the stony ground yet again

You stopped to catch your breath when he crashed into you causing you to collapse on the stony ground yet again. There were twigs and sharp vines beneath you and your head started to bleed. You wince in pain as he helps you get up but you push him away and continue to run. But this boy was fast, and he grabbed you right away, you tried to break free but his grip was too strong. "Let me go!" You shout at him.

 He shushes you and covers your mouth before he suddenly lets you go, you notice his eyes widen at something behind you and he was breathing more heavily. You turn around and see some sort of creature, you have never seen anything like it before, you start to sweat as he grabs your hand. "Run," he whispers as he pulls you the opposite way. 

You both run for what felt like an eternity before stopping to catch your breath and you hear something. It was not the sound of the creature, but the sound of walls moving, you looked at the walls changing on their own in shock. "We need to keep going unless you want to get squashed by the walls," Thomas spoke while bending over to take a breath. 

"Th-they are moving by themselves?" You stutter looking afraid. He walks towards you and sighed, "Yes, I was amazed at first too, but do not think any of us know-how, in fact, none of us have no clue where we are. It's too dangerous here and you will die if you don't listen to me, from those Grievers." "G-Grievers? Those things have a name?" You state. 

"You were never meant to run in here, you are lucky I ran after you," he tells you lifting your hair from your face to reveal a huge wound above your eyebrow. "Ow," you murmur. 

"Sorry, we need to fix that, but we need to go back first." 

"How do we get back?" 

 He looks behind him and states, "The walls will open in the morning, "He responds while tying his shoelaces. He jerks up when a Griever squeals and you both back away, you then spend hours running from it. 

Before you knew it the sun was setting, "So do we sleep and wait?" You question him. He looks around then looks at you, "We can't sleep, those Grievers could attack at any second." You sigh and hear him yawn, "Well you can rest and I'll be the lookout, I mean I was knocked out before I arrived here so I'm not tired really," you volunteer.

 He shakes his head and smirks as he sat on the ground, he thanks you and you sit beside him. It was nearly pitch black and chilly so you stayed close to try and get warmer and he dozes off. The sun was nearly up when Thomas started to shiver, you took off your jacket and placed it over him before you heard clicking noises coming from a distance. 

You stood up and followed the sound, take a left and see the Griever running toward you, you flinch before running back. "Thomas! It's here, Thomas!" You yell, he opens his eyes and quickly puts your jacket on as he runs towards you. "Hey! Where the hell are you?" He shouts out to you. You were stumbling across the vines and took a wrong turn without realising, you ended in a corner.

"Fuck," you mumble as you lean against the wall. The Griever's leg sweeps you and you fall on your back, before you can even stand up, it stings you in your right leg. You yell in pain before it goes to strike you again when Thomas finds you, "Hey! Fuckwit, come get me," He calls the Griever. It hesitates and goes after Thomas, you struggle to get up and you limp forward. Meanwhile, the Griever meets Thomas at a dead end, it makes its way toward him slowly. 

There is nowhere he can go and he glances at you, so you hurry as much as you can and find a thick vine and grab it

There is nowhere he can go and he glances at you, so you hurry as much as you can and find a thick vine and grab it. You see the Griever run toward Thomas and you were right behind it, as it pushes him off the ledge, it goes down with him. At that moment, you threw the vine over to Thomas before he hit the ground.

 You groan as you try to pull him up but you don't have the strength, the sound of walls opening startled you and you slipped a little. Your hands were sweaty and you tried to hold back tears at the sight. He looked at you, the look of pure fear in his eyes and stated, "Look, look at me... j-just don't let go please, you can do this you are stronger than you think. You are brave, brave enough to run into here knowing that the walls could have killed you." 

He tried to distract you as he knew that the other runners had come in to find the both of you. You feel a pair of hands over yours helping you pull up the rope then you feel another. You gave it your all and Thomas reached the top, he lay on his back and was relieved that he is still alive. You stumble onto Minho who was behind you with another runner. 

They notice the sting on your thigh, "Hey Ben, help Tommy," Minho tells him as he helps you up, leading you out of the maze. You look back and see Thomas being held up, he must have tripped. You arrive back in the Glade and a crowd stands there checking to see if you and Thomas were okay, the Medjacks go to check if Tommy is fine but he stops them. "Stop, stop, I'm fine just go and check on her please," he requests. 

"Shit! She got stung, we need the serum," you hear them say before you start to feel dizzy. You feel yourself leaving Minho slowly as your vision blurs and you collapse into Newt's arms.
