Katarina's POV
I stopped, panting, trying to catch my breath. I know that the doors are probably open by now, that Minho and the others are probably looking for me. But I can't go back it would lead the greivers that dispite it being morning were still chasing me to them. I couldn't risk it so I ran even further into the maze. I will keep them safe I made a promise that I broke when I wasn't at the doors this morning, but I will not break this one. I will protect them because that's what family does they protect each other.
Time lapse
I finally lost them. I need to get back to the glade or Minho will kill me but he probably will anyway. I smiled at the thought. It looks to about noon I have been running for a day and a half with no food since well 24 hours ago. Worst of all I'm at the outer reachs of the maze it took me all night and the six more hours of today to get here. How long will it take me to get back?
7pm
I'm still out here, still lost, still running and I know that I will not make it back before the day ends. Which means another night out here. I need to keep running towards the glade if I want to get there before dehydration gets me.
Running and more running. Left, left, right another left. Each step hurts, each breath burning in my lungs. But each step also brings me closer to the glade. That is the only reason I'm still running. A small clicking noise starts up behind me. "Great just great" I say to the empty air in front of me with as much sarcasm as I can muster. I pump my arms harder trying to find the strength to move faster but it's not there. The clicks slowly grow louder as it catches up to me and as if the world wants me dead that's when I trip. The greiver comes over and stands over me. I can see it now. The stinger comes out and my body acts of it own accord. It pulls a knife and cuts the thing off. The greiver goes away and as it leaves it gives me a wound for me to remember it by, one that will certainly scar. I see is the first touches of light hit sky then darkness overwelms me.
