Your P.O.V:
You turn another corner of the maze, finally being able to make your way back to the glade after a long day in the maze. You trace your path back and past the vines you had cut before.
You turn another sharp corner but you skid to a halt at a vague familiar sound. The whirring and clicking. Over and over again. No. This can't be happening. You don't have much time till you need to be back.
The noise gets louder.
You can hear it.
But you can't see it.
Whirr.
Click.
Whirr.
Click.
It's louder now. Your turn 360º on your heel scanning your surrounding. Where is it?
Your hand clasps your knife, so tight that your knuckles are beginning to go white.
Whirr.
Click.
Whirr.
Click.
It's behind you...
Minho P.O.V
I wait at the doors of the maze. She should be back by now.
Maybe she is late? But she's never late.
One by one, other graders come to join me by the doors. I can tell by each of their expressions that they are worried about Y/N. I mean, she was here before any of us.We all care about her. Thomas stands beside me, staring into the dark corridor of the maze. His face is expressionless.
Then I hear her. Her scream, piercing through the air. Everyone gasps and looks at each other. I inch forward to the walls and place my hand against the stone.
She screams again. Louder. That means she must be close. If I'm quick I could reach her.
"I know what you're bloody thinking Minho," the accented voice of Newt says to me. He walks up to my shoulder at the doors. "We don't have time, and I can't take the risk of losing two gladers. I'm sorry" and with that he limps of.
The other gladers follow, their heads down. I see Thomas look back then wipe his eyes and follows the rest of the gladers.
Then they begin to close.
Slowly and painfully.
I jump back but still close so I can see through into the corridor.
She screams again.
That's it.
If it means risking my life for the one I love then so be it.
And I run.
