One of Us [Maze Runner]

Save the KID (16)

There was a door in front of them.

"I hate doors." Alaynah muttered. Before Teresa could open the door, Alaynah came forward and punched it repeatedly with the griever head until it broke. "I HATE DOORS! SHUCK YOU!"

Newt put a hand on Alaynah's shoulder. "Okay, calm down a little."

Alaynah grinned. "That felt good. But okay, I'll calm down."

They walked out onto the long passageway. The walls were a greyish blue.

"It's like the creators want to... KILL ME! THEY ARE MOTHERSHUCKERS. I HATE WALKING."

"It's only a few more steps." Thomas assured.

"That's what I thought five years ago." Alaynah murmered. Just then, many lights turned on. "Can I scream?" She asked.

"Have you eaten something that gives you energy?" Newt asked.

"Ummm... 'Can I scream?' That's my question. You can't just answer my question with the question if the question doesn't answer the question."

Minho rolled his eyes. "I can answer your question. No. Don't scream. Also, can you drop the griever head?"

"I won't drop it." Alaynah said. She held it to Minho's face, who fake gagged.

They all started walking along the hallway until they reached a door with 'exit' on it.

"Seriously?" Frypan asked.

Everyone looked at Alaynah. They didn't want her to punch the door open with a griever's head.

"I'm opening the door this time." Minho said. He kicked it open, smirking.

"What is with people hating doors?" Thomas muttered.

"I know, right?" Chuck asked.

"Umm, guys, something is wrong." Alaynah said.

"Of course, something is wrong! There are dead bodies on the damn floor!" Minho said. He was right. Bodies were scattered across the floor, and there was an alarm beeping throughout the building.

"That is..." Thomas started but didn't know how to finish his sentence.

They walked through the room. There were two bodies covered up in white sheets. Alaynah and Minho looked at each other, and they started snickering immediately.

"What do you think is funny?" Newt asked.

"The guys in white sheets..." Alaynah started.

"Bare feet." Minho added.

"They couldn't cover the feet? They needed feet picks?" Alaynah asked, which made the two snicker more.

They walked past another few dead bodies, which made everyone go silent since the scene was very gory. Alaynah could've said to "protect the child's (aka Chuck's) eyes.", but she thought that the things happening were too serious.

"What happened here?"

They walked into a meeting room. Chuck's death was coming close. First, she would stand in front of the door Gally would go in, then if that didn't work, she would stall him and throw a knife, and if that didn't work, she would jump in front of Chuck.

She stayed at the door while everyone looked around.

Newt found recordings of the glade. "So they were watching us the whole time."

Thomas and Teresa looked at each other through two windows as if they remembered this place, which they did. Thomas touched the screen, and a big TV appeared.

It was a blonde old hag... It was Ava Paige.

"Hello," She said on the TV. "My name is Doctor Ava Paige. I'm director of Operations in the World Catastrophic Killzone Department. " Everyone walked in front of the television, except for Alynah. "If you're watching this, you've successfully completed the Maze Trials..." Ava carried on talking about how everything that happened was for a reason, the sun scorching the earth and killing billions, the flare being a deadly virus that made you go insane, the fact that there was a new immune generation and they wanted to test them in harsh environments, people being scared about if they can find a cure, and the video ending with Ava shooting herself.

Thomas looked somewhere. Alaynah's gaze followed his. It was Ava's dead body. Fake dead body.

Everyone walked a little closer to take a look at the body.

A door opened.

"Is it over?" Chuck asked.

Newt looked at Chuck. "She said we were important, Chuckie... What are we supposed to do now?"

Thomas was about to say something, but Alaynah interrupted. "We don't know."

"Why are you there?" Minho asked.

"Umm, I'm making sure no one will come."

"Whatever."

"Let's get out of here." Thomas commanded.

"No." Said someone.

"Gally?" Thomas asked.

Alaynah turned her head so fast that it gave he whiplash. How did Gally get in? She looked a few metres behind Gally. There was another door. "I SHUCKING HATE DOORS. THEY'RE B*TCHES!" However, she couldn't kill Gally now because she would look like a bad guy.

"Gally?" Thomas asked.

"Don't. He's been stung."

"We can't leave." Gally said, tears in his eyes. His face was more distorted than his eyebrows. That said something.

"So he's going to kill someone?" Alaynah asked.

"Yes." Minho answered. They looked at each other. They both wanted to kill him for safety.

Alaynah walked in front of Thomas, who tried to reason with Gally. "We did leave, Gally, we're out. We're free."

"Free? Do you think we're free out there?" Gally argued.

"Do you think we're free in there?" Alaynah shot back. She should've kept a good relationship with Gally, so he'd not shoot Chuck. If Chuck did die, Alaynah would resort to suicide.

"There's no escape from this place." Gally was trembling, and so was his voice. His eyebrows were also trembling.

Gally turned his gun up. Alaynah looked at Minho again. They both nodded. At the same time, the two threw their weapons (Alaynah's griever head was put on her knife, so Gally was basically having a griever head thrown at him. at Gally, who pulled the trigger at the same time. They heard a gunshot. A very loud gunshot that made Alaynah hope that it missed.

Gally fell, his head on little pieces of glass.

Alaynah looked behind her, hoping not to see something bad.
