'It's A Girl'//The Maze Runner

Maze

It was getting late now, nearly sundown and Thomas and Minho weren't back yet, everyone was worrying, especially Newt. He kept pacing about, mumbling things I couldn't hear. 'Do you want to hear my story now' I turned around to see chuck, to be honest I didn't want to hear it, I was pretty worried about Thomas and Minho too, even though I don't really know Minho, 'not just now chuck, maybe when Thomas and Minho are back' I said to him, he looked down to his feet and mumbled, 'if they do come back' I looked at him confused, what does he mean 'if they do' I decided to ask him. 'What do you mean by that?' He looked at me, with tears gathering up in his eyes, 'no-one survives a night in the maze' he walked away with his head hang low.

I saw all the boys gathered around at the door to the maze, I jogged over to them. They were all staring out into the maze, waiting, I walked over to Newt and stood next to him. Chuck turned up and stood next to me, worried, all the boys were even Gally. Gally and Thomas aren't exactly friendly towards each other, maybe he's just worried about Minho or something.

There was a roaring noise coming out of the maze, and a gasp of wind, causing everyone to look away from the maze for a second. The doors began to close, slowly.

In the distance, I saw something move, I noticed it was them, 'Thomas!' I shouted which got all the boys attention. 'Something's wrong' Newt said, I looked even closer, he was right, it looked like Minho was hurt. Everyone kept screaming, telling Thomas to hurry.

The doors were getting closer and closer to being shut, I could see that Newt was tearing up. Maybe what Chuck said was true, that's why everyone must seem so worried and upset. I couldn't stand seeing Newt upset, Thomas was get closer to the doors, but everyone knew he wasn't going to make it. My gut was telling me to just break one of the rules and run into the maze to help, but I promised Newt that I wouldn't.

The boys were still screaming and shouting, 'I'm sorry Newt' i whispered, Newt heard me and looked at me with a confused expression. I ran. I ran into the maze, 'No!' Newt screamed, I felt a hand reach out trying to grab me but just missed.

I kept running as fast as I could, without stopping. The doors were nearly shut, I thought I was going to be squashed by them, until I felt myself fall to the floor and heard a Big Bang behind me. The doors were shut.

'Why did you do that?' I looked up to see Thomas sitting on the floor next to Minho, he seemed angry at me but he also looked upset. I didn't reply to his question, I just stood up and walked towards Minho. 'What happened to him?' I asked, I heard Thomas sigh, then he finally spoke. 'His leg got crushed...' I looked at him and he continued to speak, 'we were running and all of a sudden a bunch of rocks fell down on top of us, I got out easily but his leg was trapped, it took ages to get the rocks off him' a tear ran down his face, I got up and hugged him. Letting him cry into my shoulder, I'm glad i broke a rule, if I didn't Thomas would be out here alone with no one to comfort him and help him with Minho, but I also hate myself for it, I also broke a promise, to the only guy I have ever liked, as far as I can remember.

I heard a rumbling sound coming from deeper in the maze, 'We better get moving, the maze is changing' Thomas stopped crying and spoke up, he grabbed Minho and started walking away. I jogged after him to catch up, 'what do you mean it's changing?' 'It changes every night, I don't know why but it just does' he must of known what I was going to ask after, 'that's impossible' I said trying to keep up with him, 'that's what I thought when I first came here greenie, now help me carry Minho' I done what he said so, and went on the other side of Minho.

We kept walking for what felt like hours, it was silent, neither one of us spoke to each other. He's probably still angry at me for coming here. 'Why does everyone call me greenie?' I asked, there was silence for a few seconds, then Thomas stopped and put Minho down. 'Newt doesn't' he said, I raised my eyebrows, Thomas turned around to face me. He smirked and sat down next to Minho, 'what that's supposed to mean?' I asked confused, he giggled, 'I think he likes you 'greenbean'' he mocked the way Newt says it, in a British accent. I rolled my eyes and flopped myself down opposite Thomas, he laughed for a few seconds then stopped.

We sat here for a while, until there was a clicking sound. Thomas jerked up onto his feet and grabbed Minho, 'let's go greenie, that's our cue' I stood up still looking the direction the clicking came from, 'what was that?' I asked, Thomas look scared, 'a griever, now come on unless you want to die' I came back into reality, I didn't want to die, not here and not now. I quickly walked and grabbed Minho once again, he was so bloody heavy, no wonder Thomas couldn't get out of the maze quick enough.

**

It's been three hours, and it's pith black, I can hardly see a thing. Thomas came up with a plan to tie Minho to some vines and hover him off the ground to keep him hidden, he was about half way up the wall when we heard clicking again, Thomas quickly tied the vines to other vines and ran off, grabbing my arm. I ran behind him until I heard the clicking again which made me stop, making Thomas stop too. 'Come on we have to keep moving' the clicking kept getting louder and louder. I could now here metal hitting and scraping of the concrete floor, we both stood there looking to see where things 'Griever' thing was.

'Thomas' I whispered, pointing at a big monster looking thing, with metal robotic legs, and a thousand teeth. Thomas spotted it too, it noticed us and started running toward us. 'Thomas!' I screamed, an able to move, I'm going to die, oh no, I felt Thomas grab my arm, 'run' he yelled. I snapped back into reality, he was pulling me, trying to make me run, 'COME ON'  he yelled even louder, I turned around to see that the griever was much closer to us now, I turned my back to it and ran, leaving Thomas behind. But he eventually caught up, we were running for dear life.

I was running so fast I didn't realise that Thomas was gone, he must of turned down some where. I couldn't here the clicking anymore, so I stopped running, I could hardly breath, I was so tired.

**

I heard someone scream, 'Thomas' I whispered to myself, I ran towards his scream. That's when I saw it, the griever. It had Thomas trapped in a dead end, I couldn't let him be killed, they only thing I could do is to distract it, the most stupid thing ever. 'Oi' it turned slightly and started at me, 'yeah you, dumb ass come and get me' I yelled loud enough for it to hear me, I started to run towards me, I ran the opposite way. How stupid can I get, now it's going to kill me, but at least if Thomas is able to get back to the Glade he can remember me as a person who saved his life.

I kept running and running, with it behind my tail. How am I suppose to lose something this big in a place like this, I turned down a few more corners. Then I bumped into something, I fell to the floor to find myself on top of the thing I bumped into, I opened my eyes to see Thomas. I quickly got off him and helped him up, we heard a roar, I turned around to see the griever turn the corner, we both ran. I felt my legs getting numb, but I was trying my best to keep up with Thomas, we stopped, 'this way greenie, we can lose it down here' the walls began closing, Thomas ran down the corridor, I was about to ran behind him but instead I just stood there and waited for the griever to catch up,'COME ON!!' I screamed at it. As soon as it got closer I ran down the corridor where the walls were closing, it's either the griever and I get squashed between these walls or just the griever. I saw Thomas screaming, but I couldn't hear anything, I felt an hand grab onto me and pull me. I heard a bang and a slushy noise, and everything went black.
