It almost sounded mechanic with the griever which was odd as it walked.

I held my breath which felt very long for every second that went by.

Thomas still held me close to him while I kept ahold of the rope of the vine as tight as possible.

The griever finally left making me breathe out "oh man" Thomas whispered.

"Okay. McKenna I need you to trust me" he whispered i nodded slowly.

He took the vine and started tying it around a stronger one. He got out taking my hand as he quickly tightened the vine to make sure it was stable enough.

I helped him tying it quickly.

It was good enough when he went around the wall pulling me against him covering my mouth.

I heard the griever not to far away as my body could not relax at all.

I didn't want to die not this way.

We slowly walked out and looked to see Alby which you could barely see him it was a good sign that he would be okay.

Hopefully.

"Thomas we have to go" I said.

I was walking with him but I stepped in something "then hell?" I said my shoes felt sticky which was a gross feeling.

Thomas lifted his shoes up also noticing his.

"Do you know your way around?" Thomas asked.

"If I did we would've been out by now" I said glaring.

I felt something weird "shut up for a minute" I said.

Something slimy fell on Thomas shirt "Thomas" I said.

We both turned around seeing a griever land I screamed falling back with Thomas as he tried grabbing my hand.

He stood up taking my hand and started running.

"RUN!!!" I screamed at Thomas I heard my voice almost echo through the glade that if it was possible the others could hear me.

Thomas kept dragging me almost with him as I tried my best to keep up.

Why the hell was I even a runner in the first place?

Every turn we made the griever somehow ended up there "what the hell?!" I yelled.
"Come on!" Thomas dragged me another direction.

And another.

And another.

The maze felt even more endless at night then during the day.

That's the scary part.

We stopped only for Thomas to say something that scarred me "oh shit"

The griever shows up barely in front of us as I backed up with Thomas.

He took my hand running again he jumped on a rock "McKenna come on!" He yelled I jumped on the rock and jumped off to catch the vines.

This was a very stupid idea.

By now my heart was racing as I climbed the vines, the griever almost attacked my foot making me scream "Thomas!"

"McKenna!" He yelled reaching for my hand.

I grabbed it trying to climb up faster.

He got over the edge and I followed but that only lead the griever to follow also.

We took off running again and there was a space between to ledges.

He jumped and I jumped after him. When Thomas landed he started rolling and I rolled right after him.

The griever came up to us but Thomas had faster thinking.

He pulled me along and got over a little edge only to almost fall off a cliff. "Woah!"

This brought back flashbacks of when I fell off one and hurt my foot "Thomas I can't"  I said freaking out.

"You have to!" He yelled.

Thomas and I both ran back a bit only to see the griever.

Planning our death.

Like before....

"Trust me!" Thomas yelled.

Thomas dragged me with him running and jumped off I jumped off with him both of us screaming as I caught the vines.

I felt like I could finally breathe a bit of relief but that changed my mind when the griever jumped off and tried jumping on us.

But barely caught on with the vines being there.

The griever kept trying to sting us multiple times. I was panicking I didn't know what to do.

Thomas kept going lower and I felt myself slowly dropping.

Soon enough the vines ripped "THOMAS!!" I screamed as the vines had all of us falling down.

It felt like my life flashed before my eyes.

This was it.

I landed next to Thomas thankful it wasn't that bad of a fall but the griever was caught in vines.

I took Thomas arm and started running away from the griever to be sure it was actually caught.

We both stepped back watching as I was frozen in fear.

Someone grabbed my arm making me gasp and Thomas scream, "you two are crazy son of a bitches!" Minho comments.

Minho took my hand as did Thomas with my other hand "glad to see you too" I commented smiling happy to see Minho is okay.

I never felt so happy seeing someone alive.
"Come on follow me!"
Minho dragged me so I dragged Thomas.

We all were running God knows where when Minho stopped.

"Okay it's changing." Minho said hearing the maze.

"Come on come on!" Minho said with anticipation.

We picked up the pace following "this section is closing come on!" Thomas ran with him.

But I stopped.

I looked at the doors closing.

I had a idea it was a stupid one.

"McKenna!" Minho said stopping seeing me by myself.

"What are you doing?!!" Thomas yelled but then he caught on.

"MCKENNA!" Minho yells.

I stopped looking for the griever.

"What are you waiting for ?!?" Minho kept yelling at me. "Get out of there!"

I looked seeing the griever coming towards me.

I stared him down "COME ON!" I yelled.

The grieve roared loud as if all the glade could hear.

The griever started running to me as I felt adrenaline pumping in my veins.

My body shaking as I waited for the right moment to run.

I started running "COME ON MCKENNA, DON'T LOOK BACK!" Minho yells.
"RUN!" Minho screams.

I kept running with tiredness, exhaustion and adrenaline going through my body.

"MOVE IT MCKENNA!" Thomas yelled.

"MOVE YOUR ASS!" Minho yells.

"COME ON MCKENNA LETS GO!"

"MCKENNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
