The Maze Triangle x OC

Ch.26

I knew Gally was scared we all were. I stood by waiting for Minho and the others with Thomas.

"Do you think we will ever make it out?" Thomas asked. "You're asking someone that's been here for 3 years" I laughed shaking my head.

He stared at me and crossed his arms "Why do you like Gally?" He asked.

"Why not?" I asked back "I mean he's a dick... he punished you for something you couldn't control" he said "He's just scared." I said looking ahead.

"Scared of what?" He asked "you ask a lot of questions" I said.

Thomas smiled a bit to himself "do you actually know that boy?" He asked.

I paused "No. I really don't. Are we done asking questions here?" "I just have one more." He mentioned looking at me.

"Do you like me?" He asked before I could say anything Minho showed up with the others.

"Will this be enough?" Minho asked. Frypan, Winston and Zart showed up I nodded towards them.

They did so back "okay. Let's go." Thomas said.

We all took off running Thomas Minho and I in the front.

Minho lead the way mostly as I slightly remembered where it was but vaguely.

"Come on!" Thomas encouraged.

We finally got there seeing the dead Griever. "Jesus McKenna"

"Didn't know you were such a badass" Winston said laughing.

I smirked "Didn't know either" I mumbled going forward as the others followed slowly.

It looked really disgusting and almost mechanic looking.
Like it was fake.

"That's disgusting." Zart said.
"There's something in there" Thomas pointed out.

"You mean besides the Griever pancake?" Frypan asks.

I looked at Thomas going forward slightly.

"Woah woah woah! McKenna what are you doing?" Thomas asked.

I looked at them about to pull it out when the grievers leg almost attacked me making me gasp backing away.

Thomas pulled me back quickly behind him. "McKenna!" He called out while pulling me back.

The others pulled me back also, "I thought you said it was dead!" Frypan said.

"Was it a reflex?" Zart asks. "You hope" Winston said making me chuckle.

"Okay. Come on. Let's try and pull it out" Thomas said going to grab the leg we all helped by joining. "Everyone get a hand on it come on! Alright ready?" Thomas asks.

"On three. One . Two. Three!" He grunted while trying to pull on it the others helped the best they could with me.

We finally got it out, I ended up falling down as did Frypan and a few others.

Thomas got up helping me up. I held onto him slightly. "Thanks."

"You okay Fry?" I asked.

"Yeah" I helped Frypan get up but still stayed close to Thomas.

Minho went forward "Hey Minho!" I said going forward "Hey we don't need our only girl dead!" He said back.

Thomas had his arm in front of me so I wouldn't go anywhere. Minho went up to the griever picking up the most disgusting organ ever if that's even what it was I wanted to throw up.

He pulled out the machine that was beeping. It looked weird like a battery almost. He dropped the slimy organ making me feel sick at the noise.

The others groaned with how disgusting it was. "What the hell is that?" Thomas asks.

"Interesting" was all Minho said.

"That's all you have to say?" I asked.

"What else is there to say? We don't even know what this is" he said. He did have a point but I wish it was easier to figure it out.

"Okay. Whatever it is. Can we take this up back to the glade? Cause I don't want to meet this guys friends" Frypan mentioned.

"I agree" I said. "He's right it's getting late." Minho says. "Come on."

We all headed back running. The others met up at the hut where we have meetings.

Gally staring at me as always. Yet he still won't talk to me.

"We found this" Thomas said handing it to Newt.

Newt looked at it the machine was beeping and had a number 7 on it.

"It was inside a griever" "these are the same letters we get in our supplies" Newt mentioned.

What?.....

"Yeah" Thomas nodded standing next to me.

"Whoever put us here obviously made the Grievers. This is the first real clue. The first anything you've found in over 3 years right Minho?" Thomas asks.

"Right." Minho agreed.

Newt looked down at it "Newt" I spoke up he looked at me slowly.

"We gotta go back out there." I said. Gally glared at me "she's right who knows where this might lead us." Thomas said.

Newt and Gally stare at each other "you see what he's trying doing right?. He's taking our only girl to our advantage against us. He's taking her away-" he paused himself. "First he breaks our rules. And then he tries to convince us to abandon them. I wouldn't be surprise if he's tried something to hurt her or do to her by now as one of our rules!" Gally said. "The rules are the only thing. That have ever held us together why now are we questioning them?!" Gally asks raising his voice.

I stared at him in shock. Why did Gally care so much about me but act like a dick? He made zero sense and what I do is my decision not his.

"If Alby was here he would agree with me. This shank. Needs to be punished. Along with her." He said staring at me. "Gally." I said but he ignored me.

Newt looks at me and Thomas before handing the device back to Minho.

"You're right. He did break the rules. A few times." He said staring at Thomas knowingly.

"One night in the pit and no food. And for her. The same." He said looking at me.

"Oh come on Newt! One night in the pit you think that's going to stop him from being near he- from going in the maze!" Gally stopped himself.

"No." He said looking at us.

"And we can't just have non runners running in the maze whenever they feel like it. So let's just make it official. Starting from tomorrow you are a runner. McKenna you work Gardens with me." Gally stared at him shocked.

Gally looked between all three of us. "Wow." He left "Gally!" I called out.

Frypan tried stopping him but he left. "Nah Fry."
