Stydia Au - Lost in the maze

Chapter 11.

(Random Book recommendation: truth or dare by Alli_Argent. I read this book and it stole my heart. And give her some support, she is a lovely girl and she tried so hard on her book.)

Allison panicked as the med jacks picked Stiles up and ran back to the hut. 'What the hell happened in there?' "Lydia. You are going back to bed. Now." I sighed as Danny and Allison helped me get back to the hut.

It was midnight and I could see the moon shining through the gap in the window. After everything that had just occurred, I couldn't fall asleep. Stiles was asleep and he looked really pale and had blue and green veins sticking out in the surface of his skin. It looked really awful. I wonder how long he will be asleep for, because I really need someone to talk to. After a few minutes of thinking, I eventually fell asleep.

In my dream, I was in a forest of some sort. I quickly realised I was in the deadheads. But then something caught my eye, it saw a silhouette of a person. I ran after them with a hand in my bandage to make sure it was still in place. "Hey! Slow down! I just want to talk to you."

The person then stopped and turned to face me. It was Greenberg. "Greenberg. Are you okay?" "Lydia. Get the hell out of here. He'll find you and it won't be pretty." "Who?" He gave me a face as to ask if I was joking. "Don't act clueless. It's Stiles." I frowned. "Wait what? Stiles is after me?" He gulped and ran out of sight as fast as he can.

I called out for him but he didn't stop or turn back. I then heard the sound of leaves crumbling beneath someone's feet and a twig snap. I didn't find the guts to turn around because I already knew who it was. "Lydia. Why don't you turn to face me. Let me see your beautiful face" he said in such tormenting voice that I felt the need to wait to slap him instead.

I turned slightly to see a different Stiles from the one I recognised. This Stiles has messy hair and really pale skin that had veins sticking out and a crooked smile, that seemed to hold something even more twisted in it. He took a step towards me. "Look at me, Lydia. Are you scared of me?" My eyes widened as I knew I should run. So I did.

I took off through the deadheads and kept turning to make sure I didn't hit into a tree. I reached in front of the south doors in the glade and I had no choice but to run inside the maze. It had vines and ivy everywhere along the walls and I could fell the temperature had a sudden change. It was really strange. But then I heard Stiles shout something. "You can't hide for much longer! The grievers will get you!" I started panting while still maintaining a rapid speed.

I managed to glide throught the maze without tripping over anything or turning back. "Lydia. Look at me. You don't want to die, do you?" His voice became extremely tormenting. It was as if he had the ability to get into my head. I shook my head as if that was going to get him out. I ran towards the other path and ran as fast as I could to get away from his tormenting. I finally reached a point where I couldn't hear him anymore.

But then there was a high pitched sound of two metals grinding together and screeching. I started cringing at the sound but then I realised it was getting closer. 'Oh shit. Shall I turn and face Stiles or this new unknown threat?'I questioned myself but then decided to go run as fast as I can towards the new threat and took my bow and arrow and aimed it at the oncoming threat and shot it into the thing from afar.

The threat shrieked in pain. It's cry was so high pitched, that the sound went straight through me like the beats in a concert. It then started to roar out of anger. It then ran to me and I couldn't see what it looked like but I ran as fast as I can. 'Shit! The freaking minotaur is after me!' I ran as fast as I can away from it. But my luck never seemed to have finished right there, Stiles was in my way, blocking my exit.

He smirked at me and I couldn't help but think it was hot. I nearly slapped myself right then and there. "Do you really think that was a good idea?" He laughed slightly. He then pulls out a gun and shot me throw the heart and in my last remaining seconds I saw a something pierce through his heart. I woke up screaming my head off.

The door swung open and I carried on screaming and crying. Allison ran over and hugged me while I cried my eyes out. Once I calmed down, I realised that someone else was screaming their lungs out. I gave Allison a questioning look and she gave me a face that broke my heart. It was a look of both sympathy and hopelessness.

"He's going through the changing now. Your screams must have triggered it fully. They usually asleep for a whole day." She put her head down. She seemed to have known what I was thinking very clearly. I guess it's a common thing that happens. Well, what ever it is, I do not like it whatsoever. "Why do they call it the changing?" "Listen, since you are my sister and I love you very dearly. I will explain it. But just keep in mind that the fact that we wouldn't let in any random Gladers here. Especially Greenies." I nodded. "Alright. So I have to just take a moment because I've never explained this to anyone before. It's always Stiles or Scott who do this." She started blabbering about how difficult it is. "Ally. You're blabbering."

"Oh. Sorry. I didn't even realise. Anyways, the grievers have stingers and if they sting you, you'll have to get the serum as fast as you can. Or else you will be done for. But the serum has side effects. It makes you remember what life was like before the glade. But that's the thing, everyone who has been through it has changed like a lot. They get more cruel and everytime they talk about what happened during the changing, they stutter and can't even speak full sentences. But from what I know, it's not that good." 'It's worse' I jumped. That wasn't my own voice! How the hell did that happened?!

"Lydia? Are you okay? You seemed to have drifted off again." I questioned myself if I should tell her. "Promise me that you won't tell anyone." "erm-" "I said promise me Allison. This is serious." "Alright alright. I promise." "Ok. I kind of heard someone else's voice. In my head" Allison's eyes widen. "What the... wait, was it a male or a female?" "Male? I don't know " "I heard something about the possibility of people hearing their soul mates speaking to them. What if it's your soul mate?" She grinned wider than the days in the year.

I laughed slightly. "You believe in soul mates?" "Let me dream of some happiness. Give me credit. I was stuck here for nearly 2 years, after all" I laughed slightly. "True" then the other screams has stopped. "He's asleep now. Let's just hope it stays that way." Then someone knocked onto my door. "Yes?" Then Scott walks in with a frown on their face.  "We have decided to hold a gathering the day after tomorrow." "Why? She haven't even fully healed and Stiles is still recovering. You can't do this. It's against the rules." "I'm sorry but the keepers are getting irritated that this is being pushed back too many times, so we have to get this over and done with." I nodded. "Okay. Only of that bastard, Jordan gets what he deserves."
