I choke a laugh at the idiocy of the greenie or I should say Thomas.
"Well Thomas it's a great act of bravery to run into the maze only to know your inevitable fate, isn't it?"
"Why do you guys think we're gonna die? Maybe we can survive this? Maybe we'll-"

I cut him off by standing up from the ground , marching towards him and pushing my hands forward to grab him. But the shank's fortunate, that Minho comes and pulls me back before I break his neck or something.
"No one has ever come out of this maze alive. You get that? Everybody dies." I yell.
Minho's hand on my wrist is just enough for me to calm my nerves.
"No one comes out of this maze alive." I manage to calmly say these words.

Click. Click.

"Please don't tell me that's what I think it is." Minho whispers.
"We need to move!" I yell and we all make a run for the passageway in the front. We take several turns as the noise grows louder.
Soon, darkness suspends over us and it becomes harder to pull Alby along with us.

When the sound of the griever becomes inaudible we stop by to catch our breaths.
"Why don't we tie Alby with the wall? It'll hide him till the next day and then we can come back to get him by the time the walls open."

I open my mouth to say only if we survive but stop before letting something out of my mouth. I don't want to act like the annoying bitch who is always devoted to pointing out other people's mistake, so I let Minho reply.

"You're probably right." And with that he moves forward and pulls out a vine or, at least I think it is, from the wall and we all tie it around Alby's waist and pull him higher.

Just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse, I hear a familiar sound.
"Something's coming." I whisper while pulling Alby higher.
Everyone stops and the noise grows louder.
"We need to hurry up." Thomas whispers and so we pull the vine harder.
Soon the noise grows so loud that it seems like it's only a few inches away from us and it's enough to scare Minho, as his hands begin to shake.
"Let's go!" He whispers.
"What about Alby? We can't leave him." I reply.
"He's stung, he's gonna die either way."
Part of him is right. But part of him isn't right. We can't possibly leave Alby because we know he's gonna die?
Well we can.
But I don't want to.
"We can't! okay?"
he hesitates and speaks,"I'm sorry guys, I-I can't do this."

And with that he took off running.

"Come back you Shuck-Face." I yell and it's enough to divert the griever's attention towards us.
Thomas pulls me forward and we both duck into a small space in the wall, enough to accommodate two persons.
Click. Click
I put my hand on my mouth to muffle any sound from passing through.
My heart feels like it's thumping out of my chest.
Keep calm.
I say Inaudibly to myself.
A Few seconds later Thomas signals me to move out, and so I do, as I can't hear anything in the distance.
"Well that was close." I whisper as he comes out.

"We should stay close to the entrance." Thomas whispers.
I nod.
"We should look for mi-" his mouth falls open as he gasps at me.
"What?"
I look back.
Only to find the most gigantic creature I've ever seen looming blackly against the walls.
