"Good job. You guys just killed yourselves ."

Minho breathing was heavily. He had sweat dripping down the side of his face down to the neck.

"W-what?" Thomas stuttered.

"Don't say that." I walked over to him. Squatting down in front of Minho, I leveled myself with the him. "What happened?"

"What happened to him?" Thomas curiously observed Albys limp body.

"What's it look like?" Minho breathed. "He got stung-"

"By a griever? I thought they only came out during night?" I glanced at Alby wearily. "It's still day."

"Not for long." Thomas mumbled. He took in the leader's appearance. Alby had a large cut on his forehead. "What happened to his head?"

Minho looked down at ground, with his elbows on his knees. "I did what I had to do." He admitted.

I gently placed a hand on Minhos arm, trying to comfort him . I expected the terrified boy to push my hand away but when he let it linger; I knew he needed the comfort.

A loud screech ringed in my ear. I snapped my head up, swiftly. Grievers.

"Alright- Help me get him up."

I stood up and helped Minho as well. He struggled to properly balance himself, soon enough he was back on his two feet and began staggering away.

"We got to go."

"What are you doing?" I stepped forward.

"The maze is already changing-"

"Hey, Minho!" Thomas called out. Minho froze in his track and slowly turned around. "We can't just leave him here."

"Do you know anywhere we can put him?" I looked between Thomas and Minho, who stared into each other's eyes. Seconds pass by and my patience was slipping away. "Kiss or stop making googly eyes at each other. We don't have time for this."

They snapped out of their trance. Both boys looked at me shocked. My sudden boldness and determination did not go unnoticed.

Using my all my strength; not al lot. I managed to put my arm underneath Albys upper body and lift half of his body off the floor.

"Don't just stand there- Help me." I blurted out loud.

Thomas rushed to the other side and most of the weight of the body lifted off of my shoulders.
