THOMAS' POV

After we made sure Alby was hidden and safe, we ran off into the Maze, scared for our lives. It's slowly getting dark, and that surely doesn't lighten up the mood. I look around me, only to find enormous concrete walls covered in ivy surrounding me. Suddenly, noise fills the air and the ground starts shaking violently, making me loose my footing and fall over. Minho seems to experience the same as we end up next to each other. "What is happening!" I shout, trying to be audible. "The Maze is changing!" he replies, also yelling. "What do ya mean? It's concrete, it can't just change!" I yell back at him, confusion filling my brain, to which he replies: "Well it does! So let's get out of here before we get sandwiched between the walls! Move move move!"

We get up, and start to run again, turning around random corners and avoiding moving walls. The walls actually change position. The Maze moves. Oh my god what was I thinking when I ran into the Maze. I am so stupid. Random thoughts pop up in my head, but I shrug them off, trying desperately to focus on not tripping over my own feet. We turn around another corner when the noise of concrete moving against concrete suddenly stops. The walls, they have stopped moving. Well, one thing to worry about can be scratched off the list. We stop in our tracks, both trying to catch our breath. My heart is racing and I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins. When my breathing finally slows down to its regular speed, I turn around, only to find a huge, monstrous figure standing in the distance. I slowly stumble backwards and turn to face Minho. "Minho," I manage to whimper between shaky breaths. "Something's standing there"

He turns around in shock, and his face fills with terror as he catches sight of the thing. A low, metallic moan fills the air, the same one as the ones I heard on that night in the Homestead, with N-... Newt. At the thought of his name, my eyes begin to sting and fill with tears. He must be so worried. If only I could show him I'm alive... I wipe my eyes and sniff. Now's not the time to cry, get it together Thomas. I look up to face Minho. "What is it?" I ask. "It's- It's a G-griever" he mutters. My heartbeat speeds up again, and fear fills my stomach. "What do we do!" I yell, not taking my eyes off the figure lurking in the darkness. "I don't know! I really don't!" Minho replies, still terrified. It was only then I realised that I was still moving backwards, and that gives me an idea. "Run." I whisper under my breath. I close my eyes, and the image of the map I saw in the map room appears. I remember a cliff. There's a cliff somewhere around here. If we manage to get that... that... thing to follow us, we could trick it and make it fall to its death. "What?" Minho yells, making it obvious that he saw me thinking. "I have an idea!" I shout back.

MINHO'S POV (aye that's the first time I did that)

He explained everything to me, and I figured we had nothing to lose. And so we went deeper into the Maze, making sure the Griever noticed us and followed us. Everything was going according to plan, until another another set of moans filled the air. Great, it brought it's friends along. I quickened my pace until I realised how close we were to the cliff. It was now or never.

I looked behind me, only to find one Griever rolling up into a ball and charging towards us. The cliff was only a few yards away now. I gasp in shock and yell "NOW!"

We both dive to the side, almost synchronized. The Griever realises this to late and rolls over the edge of the cliff. A last moan fills the air as it plummets to its death.

I prop myself up on one elbow, and look over at Thomas. He is still face-down on the ground, panting. "D-did we do it?" he asks, in-between heavy breaths. I smile. "Yeah," I sigh, "but we're not safe yet."

A/N Why hello everyone! Here have another chapter. Look, I'm thinking about starting another story. It'll be about Phan (DanxPhil) and the synopsis is something like this: Phil gets bullied, (wow cliche) and Dan is part of the bullies. Then something bad happens (won't tell you what though) and Dan decides to help Phil, risking his own life while doing so. Do ya like the idea? Lemme know :)

OKAY so I posted the prologue for my new phanfiction, if you like, go check it out! It's called Guilt - a Phan AU. Thanks in advance! fyi chapter 1 is posted as well, had to rewrite it 2 time due to wattpad being under maintenance and not publishing my story so it got lost in the vortex so yeah.
