"Thomas!" I scream as Newt goes to stab the Griever that was gonna get Thomas.

"Oh thank god." He breathes. "Thank you."

"Ah! The Key!" I hear Chuck scream. I turn around to see him running towards the edge.

"Chuck! No!" I scream.

Teresa notices and runs to him grabbing his feet as soon as he goes to bend over and grab the fallen key. Chuck was screaming at Teresa as I continue helping the boys plus Spencer kill the Grievers. I continue glancing between the Grievers plus Chuck and Teresa.

"C'mon Teresa!" I scream.

"I've got ya, Chuck." She pulls him up from his backpack.

I sigh in relief as they run to the door. I join everyone making our backs face the door to push the Grievers away. Spencer and I were dealing with the same Griever; which was feisty and didn't wanna corporate.

"C'mon you shuckin' piece of klunk." We both groan pushing it away.

Soon it was on the top of both of us. We had our poles horizontal so we could try pushing them away that way. I saw a pair of tan hands stab at it. I look up to see those tan hands belong to Minho. Newt and Thomas were busy dealing with other Grievers.

Spencer and I were still trying to push it off of us. I look under it to see its getting its venom thing ready to stab one of us.

"Minho!" I groaned. "Its gonna sting one of us." I continue pushing it back with Spencer. I go to move my leg which Spencer and I both scream.

"Why isn't my leg moving?!" She screams.

I look under again only to see it went to sting, but it's stuck in the concrete. Our pant legs are stuck with it.

"Our pants are stuck to the stinger which is stuck in the concrete." I look back up. "Minho, we need help!" I groan.

"Thomas! Newt! Little help!" Minho shouts.

"Wh- Oh. C'mon Tommy-Boy!" Newt shouts running to the both of us.

"Hailey, if we don't make it just know I love you as my best friend in the world." Spencer smiles at me.

"Spencer, I say the same for you. You're the best friend I've ever had and I'm glad we've made it till the end." I smile. "You've helped me through a lot."

"Stop talkin' like you're gonna bloody die." Newt groans trying to push it back some.

"Because you aren't." Thomas helps him.

"Tom. I've got something to confess." Spencer helps. "Its about Newt."

That's where I pay attention.

"We're ya know together."

"I don't even care." Thomas groans.

"A little advice. Its probably not moving because it's sucks." I point down at the other end.

"Good advice." They both let go and run to the other end.

"They just need to hurry." Spencer mumbles.

I nod before we hear Teresa scream.

"There's a code! Eight numbers!"

"Minho, what's the sequence of The Maze?" I look up at him.

"What?" He groans.

"The sections! What's the order they open up in?!"

"Uh, 7. 1. 5. 2.- Ah!" He screams as a Griever collides on him. Which Spencer and I are finally free might I add.
