Girl In The Maze (Newt X Reader Book 2)

- Day Two -

Reader's POV

"The sun is coming up!" I said looking up briefly at the rose pink sky. I looked ahead of me and carried on running. "If we keep this pace up do you think we'll be done by tonight?" Minho asked trailing behind, I can tell him and Thomas are getting tired, we really need to hurry up. "Maybe, we have half of the maze left." I said looking behind my shoulder at the struggling Minho and Thomas. "Can we stop please?" Thomas says through deep breaths. "Yeah sure man" I said walking back towards the boys, they slumped against the wall and took out their water bottles. I did the same, the water wasn't very cold anymore but the liquid running down my throat was soothing and gave me more energy. I still had Newt in my head and i just wanted to hurry up and get all these damn letters and leave this maze.

"OK, We are at the beginning of this section, now this is a big section." I said closing my eyes and trying to remember the route. "Minho you've ran this section more than i have, you lead. We want every route, dead ends and all okay?" I said looking at him sternly hoping he is listening to me. "No problemo greenie!" He said winking and he ran ahead of me, I knew that Minho leading would mean we would have to be slower but if we didn't stop we should still be able to get back before sun up tomorrow.

We spent the whole day running around collecting letters from the third section of the maze. Minho did a pretty good job to be honest. It was starting to get dark and the sky was a beautiful orange color. "I can't....believe...we...just cleared...a....whole....section...the biggest section...in one day" Minho said hunching over at the borderline of the last section. "See you're not totally hopeless" i said smiling at him, he smiled back and kept eye contact with me, he walked towards me. No i'm not doing this. I broke the stare and turned around. "Lets keep moving, we'll be out soon, last section isn't half as big as this one." I smiled at the boys and started running, they followed me.

"Is this it? The last letter?" I whispered looking up at the wall, on it was a red 'D'. "Yeah, it is!" Minho said writing the letter down on the paper we were using.

"So what does this mean?" Thomas said putting a hand on my shoulder, "It means we're done! We can go back to the glade!" I smiled and hugged both boys at once and they hugged me back and laughed. "Nice one! Lets go!" Thomas shouted as he started running ahead, he had to stop then because he realized he didn't have a clue where he was going. "Uh Y/N?" he said nudging his head for me to go in front of him, I burst out laughing "Yeah!" and ran ahead of him, i could hear Minho chuckling too, it was nice to hear laughter, it's been so boring and depressing out here just staring at walls.

We went the opposite way which meant we got the the glade a lot faster. The sight of the glade was a welcoming sight until we saw the fire, there was a line of it, i could only just make out shadows of boys from behind the line of bright orange flame and smoke, in front of the fire were two grievers. "Wait" I whispered and held my hands out to stop the boys form walking any farther. "We can't just leave them" Thomas whispered, "Yes we can. They are fine for now" Minho said putting a hand over Thomas' mouth. We walked slowly along the wall to get a better look at what was going on.

"ALBY NO!!" I heard a familiar voice scream, it was Newt. I watched as the grievers started to move. "Whats happening?" Minho said. "They've got Alby" I whispered feeling a tear escape my eye. The two griever started bounding towards the maze doors. I heard screaming form the boys but they all just stood there watching. The griever with Alby ran by me and Alby caught my eye, "Get them out!" He shouted. The griever ran into the maze. "NOT THIS TIME. SHUCKING GRIEVERS!" I don't know what possessed me to run in the maze after two griever and a dying Alby but i found myself doing it.

"Greenie NO!" Minho shouted. I didn't listen to anything else i just chased the creature, determined to save Alby.

It's my instinct.
