Spinning me around to face him, our lips touch and move in sync. Kissing Newt made all your worries go away like you were free from pain, but then reality comes and you realize you live in the Glade. Where all your troubles never go away.
Rose is se...

The maze hadn't changed much from yesterday when I ran it with Newt. It felt weird not to having Newt running ahead of me, not to hear is heavy breathing. I kept running and didn't take as many breaks because Alby told me to make it back early.
I made it to the outer sections and notice something strange and different from yesterday. It use to be a flat area with no where to go just a large wall ahead, now there were rows of large blades sticking out of the ground. I looked around for anything else new, but the blades were blocking my view. I knew if I was to make it back early I would have to turn back now, but I decided to go explore a little more. I walked through the blades and scanned the area up and down, it looked like nothing else was new. I decided to head back and turned the opposite direction when I heard a clicking noise behind me. It sounded like metal against stone, I turned back around to see many metal arms sticking out of a slimy body that looked like a slug.
I knew at once it was a Griever.
It let out a earpiercing scream, I covered my ears and ran the other way. I just need to run faster then this thing and make it back to the Glade, I thought to myself. So I ran turning corners without slowing down, I could hear it closing in behind me. It was getting closer and closer, I tried to run faster but I was already at full speed. I knew I couldn't out run this thing, and like it read my mind it grabbed my ankle with its claw and dragged me towards the floor.
I tried to wiggle away and grab the vines on the wall but it was to strong and ripped my grasp from the vines. I grabbed the knife from my holster on my hip and turned on my back to try and fight it off. I blocked the first attempt to plunge it's stinger into my stomach. I wasn't so fortunate the second time and the needle went straight to my shoulder. I let out an awful scream in pain, it pulled me further towards it and made me roll back onto my stomach. It didn't hesitate and I felt a large slice go from my shoulder all the way down my back. I screamed louder hoping maybe someone would hear me. It plunged something else into my thigh, I screamed again, it was so painful. When no one came I gave up and knew I was as good as dead. I let out a moan and it started to drag me back the way we came from.
All I could do was moan as it dragged me, I wished someone would come for me. Like someone read my mind I heard someone yell my name. I lifted my head to see Minho running towards the Griever with a knife in his hand. He plunged the knife into the blubbery skin and pulled it back out. It screamed in pain and with nothing more let go of my ankle backing away from us until it disappeared. Minho slid the knife back in his holster and looked down at my broken body.
He knelt beside me turning me on my back while I hissed in pain. "Rose." He whispered to himself. I looked at him feeling my eyes getting heavy. "We have to get you back fast." He scooped me up in his arms, I rested my head on his chest. He ran as best he could. It took everything out of me to keep my eyes open. "Rose we're almost there just stay with me." I shook my head I knew I wasn't going to make it.
"Tell Newt I love him." I said with all my strength I could barely hear it myself.
"You're going to tell him yourself." He said, my eyes fluttered they were becoming so heavy. "Rose keep your eyes open." I couldn't, with that I closed my eyes and collapsed in his arms.
