Emma's Pov
Something felt off about today. I just couldn't put my finger on what it was. Minho had finally allowed me to run by myself and now I'm starting to regret my decision. Suddenly, the ground began to rumble. That's weird , it only does that when.... Shuck! The doors were closing! I checked my watch because I knew I had at least an hour before closing. The doors were closing early and that meant we'd be seeing Grievers soon. I darted back to the Glade Entrance in hopes of finding Minho. I stopped dead in my tracks once I heard whirring coming from behind me. I turned around and stared in terror as it was closing in on me. I took off running, this time for my life. I rounded corners left and right with the Griever failing to round them and sending a jolt through the ground as it smashed into the walls. I had finally managed to outrun the thing. I doubled over trying to catch my breath when I heard something approaching. I lifted my head to see Minho.
"Emma! I thought you were dead! " He screeched.
" Nope. Still alive here," I replied.
I ran to him and gave him a hug. Happy to see that's I'm not in this dreaded Maze alone. The whirring sounded again and Minho screamed like a two year old girl. I've never seen him jump so high either.
"Really? " I questioned him. He's the guy, he shouldn't be scared. And here we are me being calm and collected trying to ease a terrified Minho. Oh the irony.
" Pull yourself together Minho. We've got to dash," I said slapping him back into reality.
Just as I finished the Griever showed up yet again and charged us. This was going to be a long night.
After running for our lives literally all night we managed to trick the Griever into jumping off the cliff. We walked back to the entrance and waited for the doors to open.
"You okay there Minho?" I smirked.
Before he could respond the doors opened. We stood up and walked in. Instantly Newt, Thomas, and Alby were surrounding us throwing all kinds of questions at me.
" Yeah. You know. Emma was terrified. I had to comfort her and rescue us from the Grievers," He tried to flaunt. Keyword: tried.
I looked at him, as if. We both know that that wasn't how it happened.
"Sure Minho, is that why you jumped like a hundred feet when you heard the Griever. Ok. Got it," I teased him earning laughs from the others as I walked away. In the distance I heard him say that he only jumped to make me laugh and feel better. Sure Minho. After a few minutes he caught up to me.
" So, new girlfriend, how about I get a kiss?" He asked.
I laughed and agreed with him. " But you'll have to work for a kiss." With that I took off running with him trailing behind.
