Cuts Run Deep

Chapter 4

Just stay calm don't stop following Newt. Those were your instructions don't sound or look suspicious go along with his plan.

I took a deep breath in through my nose and slowly let it out through my mouth as I tied my shoes and waited for a knock from Newt.

It finally came ten minutes later. I sprang to my feet and opened the door there stood Newt and Thomas Jordyn was by the opening.

Newt winked as Thomas gestured to follow. Thomas and I stayed behind everyone as we all ran at the beginning of the maze.

Halfway through we all stopped.

"Newt why are we stopping we still have a ways to go ya know." Jordyn implied.

"I understand that Jordyn I just need to ask a question to Raven." Newt began walking to me and stopped so we were at least an inch from being chest to chest.

"Why aren't you talking to me! You're ignoring me and I just don't get it. Why!" Newt exclaims

I just shook my head like I did the night before.

"Please! Raven tell me!" Newt yelled And grabbed my shoulders.

I finally snapped.

"Newt I can't talk to you because of her!" I exclaimed and threw his hands off my shoulders and ran off.

"Raven!" Thomas yelled and ran after me.

I finally stopped and waited for Thomas to come. I heard Newt and Jordyn come running so I got on my butt hid my face in my knees that were tucked to my chest.

After Newt scolded Jordyn for her actions we all went on with the run by then it was lunch time. So we stopped and rested to have lunch.

It was turning dark and Newt had split us up into team a while earlier I was with Jordyn and Thomas with Newt.

We had found our way back but as we turned the corner the gates began to close and Newt along with Thomas, where already on the other side.

We both ran for our lives but as we approached the gates... it was too late,

"We're dead, we're gonna die we have no weapons, no food no shelter and the Grievers are gonna get us!" Jordyn yelled and ran her fingers through her hair in fear.

"No no no we're gonna be okay all we need to do is hide till morning." I say trying to gain Jordan's confidence back.

"There's no where to hide Raven we're dead! Don't you get it!" Jordyn yelled and in a close distance there was a loud high pitched screech.

"It's okay it sounded far away." I said

Jordyn nodded and had a sigh of relief, at sudden notice a Griever popped around the corner.

As one of its claws flew in the air above Jordyn it screeches.

"MOVE!" I scream and push Jordyn out of the way. The Griever claw skid my leg and was enough force for it to hurt.

The Griever screeches once more as I take off my bow and a red feathered arrow "GET DOWN" I yelled again as Jordyn bent down and covered her head.

I held the bow in position as I stuck my arrow into it. I pulled back trying my best to aim and once I had it I let go. Shot the Griever in the center of its head. The Griever screeched one last time, shook its head and then fell down... Dead.

I took a sigh of relief and laughed a little.

"Okay, you're okay Jordyn, right?" I asked looking over to the still covered girl waiting for an answer.
