The Wrong Path

Trouble In the Dark

Seth
I was the very first one to get up while the rest of everyone slept. I walked over to the kitchen to get my breakfast and my sandwich for lunch that Peyton makes me each day before I leave for my run. I loved to do my job especially when I get time to myself and get out of this place. The maze doors started to open at the time they do everyday. Then when they stop moving I run in right away like my life depends on it. It kinda does though.
I turn left left right then another left then straight ahead. As soon as I was half way in the maze I took a break sat down and ate my sandwich that Peyton made me. Once I finished my lunch I walked around and I turned a corner I saw the most hideous creature in my life. It was half robot half human thing. It looked dead so I just went over and stop when I was a few feet away from the creature I think Nic called it a griever. My head told me to go look at it closer but I knew if Nic were here right now he would probably think am crazy and take my job away. So I turned back to head to the glade to tell Nic what I found but before I did I noticed I forgot to cut the vine from walking this way.
I started to panic but told myself to stay calm but I guess I didn't really listen to myself because before I knew it I started to breath faster and I screamed once hoping that someone heard. I needed to figure out how to get back to the glade. I started to hear the maze doors close from a far distance and I knew it was all over from here. I sat there hoping that whatever Nic said about the screams in the night was just him trying to scare me.
As soon as I heard the first scream I knew Nic wasn't joking. I looked to see the griever that was laying there dead before but as soon as I turned my head it wasn't there anymore. I tried to remember the path were I came from but couldn't do it on time I looked behind me and saw a griever running towards me with fast clicking sounds coming from its legs. I ran for my life I was so scared I couldn't even lie to myself I knew I was dead. After what seemed like hours I looked behind me and saw the griever at the corner I turned to the last. I saw my chance to hide from it so I started to climb the vines on the wall as high as it goes. The griever was coming and it passed right in front of me not noticing me. I tried to jump off the wall but slid off it which left a long deep cut in my palm. It hurt of course but that was the least of my problems I still had to find my way back to the glade and survive the maze. I did not want to die today or any day.
For the rest of the night I slept in the vines while two or three grievers were passing by. Once I woke up I knew it was morning so I started to run the way I remember coming from while holding my palm close to me. I guess I was really lucky because I found the maze doors starting to open right in front of me I sighed in relief. The cut was getting worst but the minute and I was losing a lot of blood. I saw Nic with a worried but happy to see me look. As soon as I reached the maze doors I fell into the soft glade grass and everything went black I couldn't even move on bit. The last thing I heard was Nic calling for help. The last thing I felt was being lifted by the arms and being carried to a comfortable bed. Then I got my hearing back but still it was black everywhere. I knew there was only two people in the room discussing what happened and how to help me out. One was Nic the other was Jenny. I didn't know where everyone else were at but I said to myself "HELLO I JUST CAME OUT OF THE MAZE ALIVE AND YOU PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO CHECK UP ON ME". I still couldn't talk, or move anymore and everything was still black. I hated it because Nic started to yell at Jenny but he sounded frustrated but I still felt my palm bleed. Until I felt a pair of arms stitch up my wound and bandage my arm up but didn't know who it was yet I still wanted to tell everyone that I was still alive. Someone ran out of the room and slam the door behind them. It was quiet and I knew I was alone in my bed.
=============================
Hoping to have Peyton and Nic next for there own little story. Luke and Tony won't have theirs just yet because they just got here and they haven't experienced much yet. Am just now starting to notice how hard it is to make up some ideas for each chapter but it is still fun at the same time.
