"To get the cure, you must follow through those doors. All of those that make it to the box in two weeks will get the cure." He says. The man's nose twitches and his tiny mouth and beady makes him look like a rat. Thomas and everyone else agrees. "Your time starts, now. Be at the haven in two weeks." Rat man said. I look at the door. Minho reached the handle and turned it cautiously. I can't see a single thing. It's completely dark. "Better get moving." Rat man says. I almost forgot he was there. "Whatever. Let's get out of this buggin' place. Those shanks are hurting my ears." Newt exclaims. He seems to lighten the mood. We look at Rat Man one more time, his beady eyes starring into the emptyness that lies beyond. Then we all move into the dark.
We don't just walk, well, we did for the first part. For about the first hour or so. Then we ran. And ran. The darkness seemed to go on forever.
After about an hour or two, I heard an ear splitting scream. I couldn't see a thing, but Frypan went over to the screaming person and touched their arm. Frypan let out a yelp as well. "There is a searing hot sticky ball on his arm! I can't get it off." Frypan exclaimed. We helped get the ball off. We used peices of clothing to help sheild out hands, but the pain was still excruciating.
After we got it off of him, we ran faster than before. A few more boys we hit with the balls of hot metal, and one was absorbed into the ball. After what seemed like days, Minho ran into the end of the tunnel. "It's a dead end." Minho yelled and swore under his breath. "Wait, I think I see light coming threw the ceiling." Said One of the boys whos' name I never learned. Minho reached his hand up and felt around. "I think.... There is a lever." He said. He grunted and pushed up. Light poured into the room, blinding us momenterally. Thomas and Minho were the first people out. They helped the rest of us out. When they pulled me up, it was shocked. There was sand everywhere like outside of the maze but the heat was worse then that metal ball. "Bloody hell what did they do, set fire to everything out here and the heat just never left?" I claspt my hand over my mouth. "Well well, been around Newt a week and you already sound just like him." Frypan said, laughing. "Yeah, why do you have to steal my words? Next thing I know you'll have my accent as well." Newt said. He tried to keep a straight face, but still let out a smirk. "Guys." Minho said. "Has anyone seen Teresa?"
Hey guys, its Shelby. Sorry I haven't updated. I'm on summer vacation. Just a little FYI, my book isn't going to have the exact story line as the maze runner, so please, no hate. Anyway, thanks for reading. Don't forget to comment and vote. BTW, you guys get to chose who Cora ends up with and if you have any ideas for the story, comment.
