**A/N there's gonna be a lot of time skips because I am not re-writing the book. So, time skip to when Thomas runs into the Maze

"Where are Minho and Alby?" I ask Zart.

He shrugs. "Should be back soon, Doors are gonna be closing in a few minutes."

I sigh. I really hope they're okay.

When the Doors are about to close everyone crowds around them, waiting to see Minho and Alby running. They had to go retrace Ben's steps after getting stung.

"You think they're gonna be okay?" Chuck asks me.

"I sure hope so," I answer while looking into the Maze. "I really hope so."

The sound of the gears beginning to shift goes off, meaning the Doors are closing.

Minho and Alby suddenly appear at the edge of the hallway we can see, but something's wrong... Minho's dragging Alby.

"Minho!" I yell. "C'mon Minho you can make it! COME ON!"

Everyone else starts yelling encouragements, and right when the Doors are about to close Thomas slips away from the group, running into the Maze.

"NO!" I yell as the Doors close. "NO! NO!" I punch the stone wall. "NO!" I fall to the ground against the wall, still pounding at it, with tears in my eyes. "NO!"

"Lyss, it'll be okay." Chuck kneels down next to me.

"He was our way out," I whisper. "I remembered it. He was gonna lead us out. And now he's gone. We're stuck here forever."

"We'll get out, don't be so unoptimistic. For all you know they'll survive."

"No one survives a night in the Maze, Chuck." I sigh. "No one." I just lost one of my best friend, and probably the only way out of here.
