Lovers Maze

Grievers

Chapter Twenty One

I stand in front of the doors, Newts hand entwined with mine. "The doors aren't closing" Chuck whispers slightly scared.

I nod "we need to hide" I say.

Alby hobbles out of the Homestead "Everyone find somewhere to hide and stay the shuck quiet!" He shouts his order.

Everyone turns to me and Alby looks at me impressed "You heard the shank! Go!" I shout throwing my spare hand in the air.

We hear rumbling and turn expecting the doors to close. Only we find the other three doors opening.

"What the shuck?" Newt whispers pulling me closer.

Suddenly there are screams and shrieks and we watch as Gladers emerge from the forest. And they're being chased by Grievers.

"Shuck!" People scream and run around trying to somewhere to hide.

In the process I loose Newt and I bump into Gally. "Where's.." He begins and looks over my shoulder, "never mind let's go" he shouts over the screaming and takes my hand dragging me forward toward the box.

I could see the fear in his eyes. He opens the box and other Gladers jump down, I jump down and then Gally jumps done after and closes the door.

"Gally!" Someone shouts as he arrives. Gally is about to open the door when the boy is taken away by a metal claw and a scream escapes my lips.

I sit against the far corner of the box and I hug my knees to my chest. Slowly I allow my eyes to close shut and I block out the sound.

Please be ok Newt and Alby, please.

~~

I own my eyes and Gally stands in front of me, the doors to the box are open and there's light above us "they're gone" he says holding out his hand.

I nod and take it and his helps me out of the box. I see the field is on fire and I see people crowded together in groups.

I hear someone sobbing and I turn "NEWT!" I shout seeing a figure on the floor.

The fire looks up and stands up and I can make out his figure. I run forward limping and I jump into his arms.

Gally walks behind me and goes to Thomas "this is your fault!" He shouts. He punches him and everyone shouts holding him back.

As he releases me I look around "where's Alby?" I ask slowly.

Newt takes my hand and sigh frowning "He..."

I frown and a tear slips out of my eyes "No..." I whisper and sink to the ground. "NO!" I scream and punch the nearest persons leg.

"Ow! That hurt!" I recognise them as Minho as he hugs his leg hopping like an idiot, he deserves it anyway.

The tears continue to fall and I sob, Newt tries to comfort me but I just sob uncontrollably.

Alby was my brother, we were the first two in the Glader.

"He said something for you though..." Newt says softly holding me tight.

I wipe my eyes "what?"

"He said, if you see Bill again tell her I love her and I will always love her for ask long as she lives, tell her that she is strong and is a true..." He says and stops.

"Thats all he said before he was ripped out of Tommies grasp" he adds.

I nod and hug him tightly "I love you" I whisper as silent tears fall.

There's a scream and we look up to see Thomas injecting himself with a Grievers stinger. "No you bloody idiotic shank!" Newt screams.

Flint runs off toward the Homestead and Tommy shrinks to his knees falling unconscious as the venom takes its toll.

Flint takes a few minutes but he returns with the last Grief Serum that was sent up with Teresa.
