Unbroken [maze runner fan fic]

Chater Six: Locked in

Third Person~~~

Thomas's heart was beating hard, as he watched Newt sway through each twist and turn. 'How did he know the maze so well?' he thought to himself. Newt was running faster than he had ever run before, searching each place he passed in hopes Elena hadn't gone too far.

"Newt! Wait, we need a plan!" Thomas said running faster to catch up to his friend.

"And what kind of plan would that be Tommy?" Thomas was taken aback by the name Newt had stuttered. He looked so tired, and there was something in his eyes Thomas couldn't quite place. Fear? Anger? Sadness? Either way they needed a plan, running around the maze HOPING they would find Elena wasn't enough for Thomas.

"We have to think smarter, not harder. Why would she run into the maze when Gally brought her here? She has to be tied up somewhere" Newt looked around and then up to the sky, "Alright shank, whats the plan then?" Thomas kicked the rocks below him.

"We're gonna have to split up" the words even made Thomas wince, Newt nodded. "Alright then, well you go that way, and i'll go the other. We meet back here right before the sky gets dark" Thomas hated the idea of leaving Newt, and was really wishing Minho was here with them at that moment.

"Okay, good luck" and with that Thomas had taken off.

Newt was running faster and faster, sweat trickling down his entire body. He searched under every single vine he came across, and over each passaged. He slid down the maze wall trying to catch his breath, his foot feeling like it was going to explode with every breath he exhaled. The sky looked mystical as each cloud passed by. He began to stand back up again, pulling his hand off the wall he felt a warm liquid on his palm.

It was blood.

Thomas stopped to look up at the vines, and noticed a discoloration in the wall. He backed away to get a better look. "ELENA!" Thomas screamed as he began to climb the walls. Elena struggled to move, she was finding it hard to keep her eyes open, and even harder to continue breathing. She looked down to see Thomas climbing the thin vines, the sky was getting darker.

Thomas grabbed onto the vine that held Elena tight and began to lower himself and her to the ground. After what seemed never ending they finally reached the solid ground. Thomas ripped the tape off of Elena's mouth. "You okay?" he asked helping her up off the ground.

"I'm fine, how did you find me?" She asked whiping the swear off of her bruised head. The sun was beating down, and her body felt like it was going to scorch up into flames any second.

"Gally threw a hint or two. Come on, we have to go! Can you run?" Elena nodded and followed Thomas to the spot he had been told to go to.

"Why are we stopping?" Elena asked. She sounded out of breath and tired. "Newt told me to meet him here before the sky got dark" Thomas looked up to the sky and noticed it had already began to get dark and it was getting darked by the minute.

"Newt? Newts in here?! Thomas why didn't you tell me!" Elena was pacing back and fourth her brown hair russeled from the fight she had put up earlier.

"Elena calm down it's fine. He's fine. He'll be here" Thomas found himself not believeing his own words.

Several minutes had passed and still no sign of Newt. "Elena go! Get out of here. I'll find him and i'll get him out" Thomas pushed Elena's fragile body towards the exit.

"No! I won't leave you in here! This wasn't supposed to happen. This wasn't in the book Tom" Elena froze. Had she really just called Thomas, Tom? She was becoming more like Teresa each day.

"Elena, i'll be fine, and so will he. Go! Now!" Thomas didn't hesitate this time and Elena nodded. Thomas was becoming more of a leader everyday. Thomas began running into the direction Newt had flew too earlier, his heart racing with every step he took. "Newt?! Where are you?!" he ran faster, and then faster, his heart getting read to spring out of his aching chest. Then suddenly he tripped over something hard and face-planted straight into the hard cement that lie beneth him. He turned to see what he had tripped over and his eyes widened, fear taking over every inch of his body.

Elena escaped the maze and ran straight into Minho, who had been walking towards the maze doors.

"Hey shank, what the hell were you doing in there? You could've gotten killed!" Elena collapsed straight onto the grass below her, it was so hard for her to breath it felt like a knife stabbing her in the chest.

"Newt, Thomas, Minho they're in there!" Minho grabbed Elena's arm and pulled her off the ground. Elena turned to face the huge doors that would be closing any minute now.

"Gally he tied me up in there, and then Thomas and Newt came searchin' for me, and Newr dissapeard, Thomas being the shuck face he is went off and searched for him without me" Elena was trying to catch her breath still with each word she spit out of her mouth. Minhos eyes widened and fear came across his face. He grabbed Elena's hand and ran straight for the doors.

Right as they reached the entrence to the horrific place they stood before, loud noises came from inside, and the doors began to close.

"NO! NO!" Elena screamed. Minho grabbed her from behind preventing her from running into the maze. "Elena, Thomas will make sure everything is alright. He's survived once, he'll do it again! He ain't gonna let anything happen to him or Newt" it was obvious Minho was trying to hide the fear in his voice. Suddenly something terrible happened.

A scream, louder than anything Elena or Minho had ever heard before. It was Thomas.
