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

Finding A Way Out

Thomas's POV

We've been running for hours, try to get to section 7. I can tell Sophie is getting tired but every time I ask if she wants a break she just refuses and keeps running.

We have finally reached section 7 which isn't supposed to be open, 'that's weird, Minho said it isn't supposed to be opening until newt week' I said, Sophie raised her eyebrows, 'oh well let's go in' she started walking in with no hesitation, she's such a curious thing, just like me I guess.

Sophie's POV

I walked straight into section 7 without a hesitation, Thomas trailing behind, I saw massive metal things, thousands of them. 'What are those?' I looked around at every single one, 'blades' We walked through them, trying to see if we could see any escape.

We heard some sort of clicking noise, causing us to stop in our tracks, 'what is that?' I asked trying to find out where it was coming from.

Thomas took his bag off, quickly and took the machine they found in the griever out of his bag, which he said was like the heart of the griever.

It kept beeping, 'I think it's pointing us the way out' he said, looking down at the machine and walking, I followed close behind. We were walking for a bit until we saw big open doors.

'Have you ever seen this place before?' I said, 'no never' he looked at me then walked in, there was holes in the roof and walls about griever size.

'Has Minho?' I asked still looking around, 'I don't think so' he mumbled. We kept walking but couldn't go any further because there was a huge wall.
'It's just a dead end Tom' I said hitting the wall, hurting my hand. Thomas was about to check out my hand when the machine stopped beeping.

We both looked down at it, and the red number 7 turned green, the floor started to rumble. The door I hit began to open, then two other doors opened, there was a round hole which also opened.

Thomas looked at me, we walked through, 'a griever has definitely been here' I looked down to see saliva all over Thomas's hands.

We heard a beep and red lasers scanned up and down us, then an alarm started going off. We both covered our ears, and the doors were starting to close, 'I think we should go now' I shouted, before I saw Thomas take off.

We ran as fast as we could, the blades were closing almost crushing us both. Walls started falling down behind us, crashing on the floor. The exit out of section 7 was closing, we had to army crawl our way out.

The walls was getting closer to me, Thomas got out and I knew I wasn't going to make it. But then Thomas reached out and grabbed my arms pulling me out of the now right space.

I fell on top off him, I really have a thing for falling on people. 'Thank you' I said getting off him and wiping the dust off me. 'We better get back before the doors close and get stuck out here again' Thomas mentioned also wiping the dust off.

Newt's POV

I've been waiting for ages for Thomas and Sophie to come back, the doors are going to be close in half an hour, I hope their okay.

I've been with Chuck all day helping Zart pulling out crops, and checking if the fruit is ripe. Chuck has been annoying me with stories, making me miss Sophie even more.

'Their back' I heard some people yelling, I looked up too see Sophie and Tommy run through the doors, I dropped everything and ran towards them. 'Did you's find anything?' I asked.

'Yeah we found our way out' Thomas said, 'yeah but we almost died after' Sophie said panting and trying to get her breath. My face dropped, 'don't worry I saved her her, like I promised' Thomas said, he must of known what I was thinking, I smiled and mouthed 'thank you'.

I turned to look over at Sophie when I saw her coming towards me and wrapping her arms around my neck, I wrapped my arms around her waists, embracing her in my arms. I'm so glad she's safe, I don't know what I'd do without her, I know she isn't really mine but she makes me happy and gives me hope.

We stopped hugging and I looked down at her hands, she hand a bruise and scars on her right hand. 'What happened?' I asked still looking down at her hand, 'oh it's nothing I just hit a wall with my hand' she said laughing and pulling her hand out of mine.

Thomas's POV

I went to find Minho to tell him the news, I've been searching for ages.

'If your still looking for Minho he's with Alby' I jumped and turned around to see Teresa leaning against a tree, 'thanks' I walked past her, she followed close behind not saying a word.

'Hey Guys' I closed the door behind Teresa, too see everyone was already here. 'I know you wanted to tell them the news but I couldn't help myself' Sophie said standing up, 'it's alright Sophie', everyone was here. Chuck,Newt,Sophie,Minho,Teresa and of course Alby, God even Gally was here looking miserable as usual.

I really hate that guy, he's a complete asshole. 'Did you tell them everything' i said asking Sophie, she nodded, 'what is there something else you aren't telling us' Gally snapped, seriously his guy is more annoying than Chucks stories.

Sophie walked towards me, 'I haven't told them that's it's the grievers home' she whispered in my ear, so no one else could here. 'Grievers home' Gally shouted making everyone's pay attention, maybe she didn't say it quietly enough.

I nodded, and saw everyone's face drop and they all became scared. 'So what your saying is that even if we try to leave we can't because we will just getting eaten by bloody grievers' Gally continued raising his voice, no one said anything, he stormed over to me and clenching his fists together getting ready to punch me.

He was about to throw his punch,I was waiting for the pain to come until Sophie jumped in front of me, 'no' i heard a few voices shout out. Before I knew it Sophie was on the floor and Newt was already by her side, I could see the guilt in Gally's eyes.

'At least we would die trying' Sophie spoke up, breaking all the anger silence in Gally. 'Are you stupid shank' Gally spat out.

'I would rather die out there knowing that I tried to escape this place than dying in here where I have done nothing' she started yelling in Gally's face. Wow she is brave, she just got punched in the face by him and now is standing up to him.

'I'm with Sophie in that one' I said breaking the tension between them two. 'The only ones who would be able to leave here is me, Alby and Minho because we're the only smart ones around her' Gally really likes fighting, physical or not, he's such an ass.

'That's bullshit' Newt snapped, we all turned to face Newt, he rarely swears nor does he give opinion on things. 'Ok ok guys that enough' Alby said.

'Why are you defending them, there all working with Wicked' Gally said crossing his arms. 'Then why are we here, if we work for them' Teresa said.

'Exactly if we really worked for them we wouldn't be here, we would still be up there and you's would still be stuck here' I said, agreeing with Teresa. 'Gally your just jealous because you've done nothing but sit around in the glade for three years acting like an asshole when we have found a way out in what just over a month' Sophie said inches away from Gally pointing her finger at his chest.

He clenched his fist, then unclenched them and stormed out the room. 'Well done' Minho said patting her back and smiling, I looked over at Chuck would looked petrified from everything that just happened.

So I went over to make sure he was okay and so did Teresa.
