Minho: A Maze Runner Fanfiction

Chapter 22~The Escape

"So how exactly do you plan on accomplishing this?" Alby asks.

Minho replies before you can, "Well we're going to need all of the help you can get."

"So basically everyone," you say.

"Newt, call a gathering. Make sure everyone knows they have to attend. If we're getting out of here, let's do it now," Alby says.

You help Newt by running around telling everyone about the gathering. Soon enough, all of the gladers are are gathered around the box, chattering quietly.

"Alright y/n, take it away," Alby directs you to the box.

You hesitate, "You sure they'll listen to me?"

"They will," Thomas nods at you.

You get on top of the box and begin talking, "Okay everyone. We have a plan. We're gonna get out of here." Everyone begins talking immediately, and honestly you can't blame them. Some of them shout out remarks, but you can only pick up on some of them.

"How do you freaking plan on doing that?!"

"She's a girl; there's no way she's actually figured out the maze."

You don't even try to shout at them. You look at Minho with a pissed off look on your face.

"HEY! ALL YOU SHANKS BETTER SHUT UP AND LISTEN!" Minho shouts for you. Everyone falls silent, they all have a sort of admiration for Minho. Probably just because of your relationship with him.

"We have a plan, and it's going to work," you pause, expecting someone to throw out some sort of rude remark. You then continue, "We need to go through the maze, and get to the very end. There's a hole in the cliff. If we can jump into the hole, it may be our only way out."

Gally speaks up, "How do you even know we can go in this hole? How do you know this exists?" Some of the other gladers agree with him.

"Because that's where the grievers go," Thomas says.

Gally looks at you and then turns to Thomas, the most disgusted look on his face, "You actually think it's a good idea to jump in the grievers home?!"

"Well I don't see you with a better idea," Thomas steps toward Gally, ready to fight.

"Oh I've got a real good idea. It involves you and the grievers," Gally steps closer to Thomas. Thomas throws a punch at Gally, and hits him square in the stomach. Gally throws a punch back but Minho comes up from behind and grabs his fist and flips him over his shoulder and onto the ground.

"I don't care if you don't want to come with, but we're going," Minho says to Gally. Then he turns to the crowd, "And if any of you want to join us, feel free. But we're leaving in an hour. So if you're coming suck it up and grab a knife."

You jump down from the box and walk over to Minho. "Let's go."

You, Minho, Thomas, Newt, and Alby all stand at the doors of the maze an hour after the gathering. About two thirds of the gladers decided to come with. Which is good, the more the merrier.

Newt gulps before speaking to the crowd, "If you're going to back out, better bloody do it now."

Surprisingly, no one backs out. "Alright then, shall we?" Newt asks.

Minho leads the group into the maze, with you at his side. Everyone follows behind.

"Y/n," Minho says as you run.

"Yeah?" you say.

"Promise me that you'll stay by me or Newt, okay?" he says.

"What?" you say, puzzled.

He slows down a little, "I need you to promise me that you'll stay by me or Newt."

"Okay," you say. You can see the worry on his face. "What about Thomas?"

"Nah I don't trust that ugly shank," he says and you laugh.

"Okay."

"Y/n?" he asks.

"Yeah?" you say.

"One more thing," Minho says. "If anything happens to me, I want you to keep going, okay? And if I tell you to do anything, just do it. Just keep going, even if it's without me."

"But Minho-" you say as you turn a corner.

"Y/n, promise me," he says.

His concern worries you, but you know he'll stop everyone if you don't promise him. So you say, "Okay." He smiles at you and you keep running and turning until you finally reach the cliff. There's nothing there besides the black abyss. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a glint of light pass along a metal ring. "Over there!" you shout and run to the edge of the cliff across from the hole.

"Let me go first," Minho says. You step aside and he backs up a few feet and then gets a running start and jumps to the hole. He lands and everyone cheers. Just then, a sudden burst comes from within the hole and a griever jumps out and tackles Minho onto the edge of the cliff. He's barely hanging on as the griever lifts it's stinger up.

"NO!" you shout and draw out your long, sharp knife and run at the griever. When you get to it, you stab it multiple times. "YOU ALREADY TOOK MY BABY YOU CAN'T TAKE MY MAN TOO" you shout at it as you repeatedly stab it. It throws you off of it and onto the ground with its mechanical limbs. Thomas runs to your aid and helps you up, and you turn to see more grievers coming out of the hole. There has to be at least twelve.

"Holy shit," Thomas says.
