The Maze Runner - Newt

The New Girl

*WARNING* Change of POVS in this chapter.

Maeve:

After Thomas ran into the maze it was chaotic. Minho and Alby were stuck in the maze and now he was too.

Our keeper of the runners, first in command, and our greenie. Not a good thing.

Chuck was persistent that they would make it but Newt seemed to have another opinion. A lot of the boys did. No one has ever survived a night in the maze, how were three people going to do it, especially when one of them is unconscious?

So we decided to camp in front of the doors. Well, most of us did. Who knows? Maybe Chuck was right and by some miracle, they would be alive.

I couldn't get a wink of sleep. Not when all I could hear was the roaring and whirring of the grievers followed by a scream. So I opted to run my hands through Newt's hair as he lay on my lap, a few dry tears coating his face.

Ashton's head was laid on my shoulder as he slept. He was devastated. Minho is one of his closest friends. Not only did he lose Ben but now Minho was most probably gone too.

"Guys get up!" Chuck yelled

The doors opened and I shook the two boys while everyone rushed to the opening.

...

I shouldn't have had high hopes.

No one was there.

"I told you Chuck. They're not coming back." Newt stated with a monotone voice.

I knew that was the case the moment the doors closed on them but hearing him say it out loud made it seem real.

With blurry eyes, I turned tail and started walking away until Zart spoke making me freeze.

"No way."

Whipping my head around, my eyes widened at the sight.

Thomas and Minho were heading our way carrying a still-unconscious Alby.

What the actual fuck.

Chuck let out a cheer of relief and I mentally did the same as him. Coming out of my shock, I sprinted towards them not caring if I was now technically inside the maze.

Grabbing Alby's legs, grunts of relief came from Minho and Thomas as some of the weight was taken off.

The moment we set foot on the grass of the Glade, they crashed down onto the floor while Jeff and Clint, our med-jacks, checked over Alby.

"Watch out. Easy." Jeff ordered

"What happened out there?"

I watched as Ashton pulled Minho in a hug and then threw an arm over Thomas's shoulder, "How'd you guys make it out?"

Chuck's question seemed to be the one most of us were begging to know, "You saw a griever?"

"Yeah, I saw one." Thomas panted

Minho however had another thing to say, "He didn't just see it. He killed it."

That caught everyone by surprise.

"We need a gathering." Gally spoke up, "Now."

Newt was quick to start giving out orders, "Alright, Med-jacks you guys take Alby to the med-hut. Everyone else, get to the homestead."

As the boys followed Newt's order I took it as my chance to squeeze Minho in a hug, "I'm so glad you're alive."

He squeezed back, "Me too princess. Me too."
