**BOOK #2 of The Promise Series**
❝ We finally escaped the maze, but with what costs? I miss Ben. I miss Clint. I miss Zart. I miss Jeff. I miss Alby. I miss Chuck. And I miss Gally so much- maybe if I just had kept my promises, Gally could still...

Finley's POV:
Jack, Aris, Winston, and I all look between one another, confused about how the lights turned on and how there even is electricity. We head out of the room we were in and began walking down the hall, looking for the others to find out what is happening.
"What's going on?" Winston asks once we meet up with Newt, Fry, and Teresa.
"I don't know," Fry replies while looking around at all the lights that now brighten the once dark and abandoned building. A scream echoes through the building, leading to all of us whipping our heads to look in the direction, straining our eyes to get a better view of what had screamed. More screams fill their ears as two figures come into view, running towards us.
"Is that Minho and Thomas?" I mutter under my breath in question, it being too quiet though for anyone else to hear.
Multiple other figures then come into view behind the two. Realization and fear hit the others and Thomas' and Minho's words are finally audible.
"GO!"
"RUN!" They yell, their arms flailing around in a crazy and freaked-out manner.
"Shit," I mumble.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Minho yells. I gripped onto my bag, we all turn around and begin to sprint as Minho, Thomas, and whatever those things get closer to us.
Not fair. Newt and I should have gotten a head start. We're crippled ya know.
Aris tosses a bag to Thomas as they finally catch up. Looking back over my shoulder to the things that are chasing us, I notice that they all look like humans, but not humans at the same time.
They're like zombies. Hella fast zombies for that matter.
Each step that I took while running made my side twist slightly, and due to the stitches and the immense pain right now, I am trying to refrain from doing movements that will cause more pain which only slows me down more. Tears burn in my eyes as the pain only increases. I can keep up with the rest of the group, but just barely.
We see the escalator ahead of us and run towards it and run up the steps as fast as we physically could.
"Thomas! Minho! What the hell are those things?!" Someone yells.
"I don't know! Just keep going!" One of them reply.
"GO! GO!"
We get to the top of the escalator and turn left, unfortunately, one of these zombie asses comes from that way and begins to run towards us. Aris grabs his bat from his backpack and runs towards it.
"ARIS! NO!" I shout. Aris hits the thing right in the knee, knocking him over. The thing crawls towards Thomas and Teresa causing them to go upwards on another set of escalators, dividing them from the rest of the group as more of them run towards me and the others from the way we had just come.
