The Unexpected Maze Runners

Chap 22: Closed Doors

Kylie's pov.

We ran through the maze. It was almost the time when the doors use to close. Haley, Thomas, and I turned a corner to see the doors closing! I looked at my watch. 8:00. Thats when the doors normaly start close. "The doors are closing!" Haley screamed as she ran faster. I pumped my arms faster and took bigger steps. My legs were burning and my lungs were gasping for air.

Tons of Gladers were gathered around the opening to the maze. When some saw Thomas they started to yell "Leave Thomas' sorry ass behind." I think he feels bad about everything that he did. He stabbed his best friend. I didn't steal his friend. Newt still hung out with him just as much as me. We all hung out together along with Minho and Haley. We kept on running. We ran into the crowd as the doors halfway closed.

But the crowd started to push Thomas back into the maze. "STOP" Haley screamed. "Thomas didn't mean to. Gally was controlling him with this." I said pulling out the mind controling device out of my pocket. Everyone gasped. "He has been under Gally's control ever since we got here. Its him who you should be mad at." Haley added. Whispers went around the crowd. Everyone left slowly, going to eat dinner.

"Thanks." Thomas said to us before joining Chuck for dinner. "Want to check on the guys first?" Haley asked. "That's not even a question." I answered like she just asked me if bacon was the best food in the world. (Which it is) She laughed and we headed for the healing hut. We walked in to see Jeff putting some supplies away. "Look who's here. The guys are up and in that room over there." He pointed to a room down the hall.

"You didn't come and get us?" Haley whispered/yelled. "Hey, they have only been up for a few minutes." Jeff put his hands up in defense. I grabbed Haley's arm and ran to the guys. They were sitting up on different beds. We went running to them. Carfully, I hugged Newt. "Kylie, you can bloody let go now. I'm fine." Newt reassured me with his british accent. I nodded and sat next to him. "So, did you look into that sliver thingy? I already told Newt about it."

Minho asked. "Yeah. It beeped when we got close to a certain area. Then when we found it, the whole wall opened!" Haley explained. "We need some kind of password though." "Did you guys go by yourselves?" Minho and Newt said at the exact same time. "No, Thomas came with us." I answered. Probably not the best way to tell them. "THOMAS?!?!?" They screamed.

We explained everything that happened before we went into the maze with Thomas. They calmed down a bit but they were clearly tense. "How about you guys? Any better?" Haley asked. "Better." They answered. "Are you ready to see the Glade again?" I asked. Newt nodded and I helped him outside. "Wow, can't believe this place hasn't bloody burned to the ground." Newt observed, laughing.

I laughed with him. "Wait, how come the doors are closed?" He asked looking at them. "No idea. When we were coming back to the Glade, they started to close." I explained. "Do you think that mabey we read the maps wrong?" I asked, thinking. "Yes." He gasped after a few moments. "I'll get Alby. You figure something out at the map room." I commanded. The whole plan soon fell into place.
