Never Gave Up (Alby Love Story)

Chapter 29 Alby's P.O.V

Ashton began to pull me backwards. I heard yelling behind and turned to see the Gladers running towards us. Ashton dropped my arm and swung her machete.

Newt through me my spear and I jabbed it towards the Griever she was fighting.

The Gladers followed Minho's plan to push the Grievers against the wall. Chuck jumped into the hole followed my Teresa and Thomas.

I heard a gasp and turned around. A Griever grabbed Ashton my the leg and swung her into the wall. She fell to the ground not moved and the Griever towered over her.

I ran forward and stabbed my spear into its side. It screeched and fell to the the side and stopped moving. Ashton sat up and I ran over to her.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Thank you. Newt!"

She ran around me and sliced the arm Grievers arm off that was going to grabbed Newt.

We fought for a long time then all of a sudden the Grievers just dropped to the ground. Thomas did it. The code worked. We were actually going to leave this place.

Ashton wrapped her arm around my shoulders and kissed my lips. I kissed her back and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Really. Do you guys have to kiss right now?" Minho asked

"Yes. Yes we do."

I looked around and saw that some Gladers did not make it. Lots if boys laid next to the Grievers. How is this a win with some many were lost.

Newt jumped down into the hole and disappeared. I walked Ashton towards the cliff.

"It's your turn."

"Your going to be right behind me?"

"I'll be right behind you."

She nodded her head then jumped. Her body disappeared and I took one last look of the Maze and then jumped.

I landed on a stone floor. The room was kinda dark and a Griever laid on the floor a few feet in front of me. I looked up and saw Minho coming down. I stepped out of the way and grabbed Ashton's hand.

"Now where do we go?" Newt asked.

"I heard a door open down that way. I guess we head that way."

We walked down a long dark hallway. Boys started to give yelps of surprise. I felt Ashton slipped and I tired to grab her but I fell to.

We slid down a slide and then I stopped by crashing into Ashton's back.

We left the slide and came to a room. The room was lined with windows. In the windows a bunch of people holding clipboards stared at us.

The door on the far side of the room opened. A woman and a boy walked into the room. The woman was wearing all white and the boy had his hood pulled up to cover his face.

Ashton let go of my hand and stepped forward. She had a smirk on her face and was staring at the woman.

"You've failed. You've failed You've failed." Ashton said and smiled.
