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

The Glade Is In Danger

Sophie's POV

After seeing Alby and having a go at Gally, Newt took me to the DeadHeads to calm down.

Newt is sitting against a tree watching me throw stones, I've been hitting the wall in frustration for ages, I'm just so angry, I just want to rip Gally's head off but I know that won't solve anything.

'I think that's enough, before you end up injuring yourself' Newt softly said while stroking my arm softly, and hugging me from behind. I threw the last stone in my hand and turned around to face him, 'you don't need to worry about me, I won't hurt myself' I said trying to force a smile, but I couldn't, I could see that he realised I was trying to smile.

'Don't let Gally bring you down love' Newt said softly, the fact he called me love made me melt, I know that he's British and they usually say that but coming from him just made it different.

He pinned my hair behind my ear, leaving his hand on my cheek and smoothly rubbing his thumb on my face. 'I'm not, he's just so urgh.. I just want to you know' I said in frustration, he laughed 'and kill him' he said laughing some more. I nodded while giggling a little, then he leaned in to kiss me, his lips lightly pressing against mine.

He pulled away, leaving our nose to stay touching, 'I think we all think about wanting to kill him, I think he wants to kill himself because he's such a shank' he laughed making me laugh also, I started feel better and all I wanted to do was stay with Newt all night with no one to interrupt us.

Just as we were about to kiss again we heard screaming, not just any screaming but fear. We both looked at each other, Newt's eyes grew wide and we both ran out to see Thomas and that in front of the maze doors.

'Why are the doors not shut yet' I asked all of them once we reached them, 'I have no clue' Minho said in horror.

We heard a huge bang, causing all of us to duck down a bit and covering our ears, I turned around and saw another door beginning to open, 'guys...' I said staring at the other door, everyone turned around in the direction I was facing.

There was more noises, two other doors opened, there was roaring and people running and screaming 'GRIEVERS!!'.  We heard roaring coming from the door we were standing at bringing our attention back to the door.

'Okay I want everybody to hide' Thomas yelled, everyone started to run, but Teresa stood there in shock so I ran back to get her. 'Come on Teresa' I said pulling her arm, she ran along side me when we heard clicking coming from behind us, but it wasn't close to us, which was a good thing I guess.

We reached the hiding spot, and stayed as quite as we could. There was a Griever near by, I could just see it in the distance when another one came and grabbed Clint making him go flying, we all ran out our hiding spot, everyone was scared. I wasn't really scared but I really should be, I don't understand why I'm not scared like everybody else.

I was getting lost in my thoughts when I was grabbed by a Griever, 'Sophie' I heard Newt yelling, I was struggling to free myself from its grip, the metal was pinching on my skin, I've never felt so much pain in my life.

Instead of stinging me, I was getting closer and closer to its mouth, griever are bloody ugly looking things, I wanted to puke at the sight of it, I just kept getting closer to its mouth, it was going to eat me.

I closed my eyes, waiting for my life to end, I'm going to miss everyone, I'm going to miss Newt, I hope they get out of this mess and escape this horrible place.

Newt's POV

'Sophie' I shouted, I didn't know what to do, I can't watch her die, actually no I don't want her to die, she can't die. I picked up a spire and starting running towards the Griever, Sophie had stopped struggling now, I hope she hasn't passed out.

I saw someone in the corner of my eye running, it was Thomas, then I looked to see that everyone was charging towards this Griever. I stabbed it just under the throat, causing it to drop Sophie to the ground, I kept stabbing it in rage for grabbing Sophie, the others kept stabbing it too.

It collapsed to the floor, with some spires still stuck in its body, Teresa threw a jug or something making it catch on fire, I ran over to where Sophie's body is. 'Newt... I'm... Okay' Sophie was taking deep breaths, I could see the scars the griever left on her body, my eyes started to water.

'I'm... Fine Newt, now help me get up' she said, I couldn't move I was too stunned at the thought of losing her, but Chuck and Teresa helped her up, there was screeching coming from behind us taking me out of my thoughts. 'Come on buddy' Thomas grabbed my arm helping me to move, my leg was starting to hurt from all this running.

We reached one of the huts and locked all the doors, everyone was panting so loudly but trying to keep quiet. 'I don't think this is going to protect us, it's wood for Christ's sake' Sophie said panting in pain, she is right but it's worth a try. A Griever was on the roof trying to get in, it shot it's leg in and grabbed one of the supporters making some of us scream, half of the roof fell on top of us.

'Everyone stay away from the walls' Thomas said holding onto Teresa, I grabbed onto Sophie softly trying to not make her feel any pain, but she turned and grabbed onto me harder and pulling me in closer to her body.

'Chuck' Thomas screamed grabbing onto his arms, a Griever had grabbed him, it took out its stinger getting ready to sting him, when Alby screamed 'NO' taking a mental at the leg and breaking the stinger off it, it whimpered and everything went silent. 

Then there was a crash, and Alby was in the air with Thomas trying to pull him off the griever, Minho was behind Thomas pulling him back to help. I stayed with Sophie to support her and keep her safe, watching the whole thing.

'Thomas.. You have to get them out of here.. You have to get them out' Alby said, Thomas's face went from fear into confusion and guilt, and with that Alby let go, he was gone.
