T's POV

"Oh my god! Val?!" I try to pull her up more but her body is too heavy and drops to the ground. I look at my watch and realize I only have an hour to get out of the maze. "Alright Val work with me!" I grab Val's feet and pull her along the cement. "WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN EATING!?" I start to pick up my pace and run as fast as I can.

Finally I turn the last corner and I see the square. All the others are at the edge of the door waiting for me. I pull Val up to my shoulder and and try to move faster. I hear people calling our names encouraging me to keep going.

"COME ON T YOU CAN DO THIS!" Brooke yells.

"WAS SHE STUNG?' Julie asks. More random questions and shouts emerge from my friends when suddenly the doors start to close.

"Should we help them?" The Newbie, Emily, asks some of the others. They all shake their heads. It's no use. I loose hope. The opening in the doors inch closer and closer together. Just when I think it couldn't get any worse the freaking Newbie decides do run into the maze with me. Some of the others tried to grab at her arms to stop her but she got away. She ran along the closing doors and nearly just as she ran through they slammed shut behind her. I look at the Newbie like she has three heads.

"What the hell?" I run my fingers though my hair. "That was so stupid!"

"What?" She asks.

"Do you realize what you just did!?" I ask snapping at her.

"I just wanted to help!" She snaps back at me. "What's you're problem?"

"You don't understand. You just killed yourself!"

"What? Ugh, never mind just come help me with Val."

"It's no use! Don't you see! We're trapped and pretty soon we'll be running for our lives!"

"Well we can't just sit around and wait for whatever is going to happen, happen now can we?"

"Where the heck do you think we can put her to keep her safe ding dong! Look around! There's no where to go!" I yell.

"Stop yelling at me will ya! I came in here to help you both and you are shooting me down here." She complains.

"Fine, where do you suppose we hide her then? Cuz we can't just run around with her all night." I ask, annoyed.

"I don't know, maybe it the ivy? It seems to be thick enough to hide her in." She suggests. I sigh, knowing it probably wasn't going to work but deciding it better to get a move on so we stood at least a slim chance. We pull Val over to the sides of the maze and try to string her up in the green ivy vines. We got her up maybe ten feet together but it wasn't easy to really cover her so she was just sort of hanging there. 'Welp that looks awful. Sorry Val.' I think to myself. Though, the Newbie seemed satisfied with the result. We were just about to make a game plan when I heard a familiar noise. Clink Clink. The sound of metal tapping the cement ground. 'Aww crap!'

"We got to go!" I grab the Newbie's arm and pull her away.

"What's that's noise?!" Emily asks.

"That's a griever, and trust me you don't want to meet one." I tell her. We take off running hoping that the griever doesn't get Val.

"What happens if a griever finds us?!" The newbie asks.

"Shh!" I say and pull her along the side of wall.
We run for a few more minutes, evading the ever approaching sounds of the Griever. I peer over the wall to see a place I've never seen before. "What..." I whisper. Emily looks at me confused. She pulls her away and puts it to her side saying "what?" I jog over to a new opening in the maze. "This has never been here before!"

"Doesn't the maze change at night?' She asks

"Not like this!" I say. I flick my hand showing her to follow me. I slow down to a walk and enter the new opening. "This is weird. It's like a maze inside the maze."

"So you've never seen this before?" I shake my head no. "Maybe it only opens up at night?" She asks.

"I mean maybe, nobody goes in the maze at night anyways I me-" I start but get cut by something bumping into me. I fall to the ground and land on my butt. "Ouch!" I look up go see two boys around my age looking down at me. I look over at the Newbie who gazes into one of the boys eyes. One of the boys is tall with brown hair and brown eyes. The other one is tall and muscular with dark eyes and hair.

"What the shuck is this?!" The muscular one says. The two of them look at each other as the Newbie helps me to my feet. What is happening here...?
