We all began running out of the place. The journey to the Safehouse was going to he hard, and from what Newt told me, they only had a short amount of time to get there.

"Hurry, get down NOW!" Jorge yelled this. We all began to go down the zipline. Newt let me go ahead, and Minho grabbed me at the other end.

"Come On!" We yelled this at Brenda and Thomas. Newt and Aris got into our grasp and we threw back the zip line. "Hurry!"

Before they could grab it, the zip line snapped and the two ran away from the opening.

"Come on we got to leave." Jorge pulled everyone with him. Newt grabbed my wrist and pulled me with him also.

"Wait, what about Thomas and Brenda?" I ran next to Jorge and Minho.

"Brenda knows where we are going. The boy and her will meet us there." I slowed next to Newt. "Hide here." Jorge ran into a small cavern and we all turned there.

"Who is this?" A young boy stood infront of me. He panted and had dirty blond hair.

"This is Aris. We met him in the facility W.C.K.D. was holding us in. He is from Group B." Minho put his hand on the kid's shoulder and sighed.

Aris came back to memory. I remembered seeing him around the facility I worked in. Brenda and I were Guards and Aris helped the Creators with the Maze. Thomas was the head of his team and Aris was the second head of his. A girl named Rachel was the head of Group B's team. Thomas, Group A.

Aris would walk past by me alot when I was walking and transferring subjects. We always ate around each other during lunch, and that is where I first ran into Thomas and Teresa personally. I hated Teresa then, and I still hate her now.

"By the way, where is Teresa? I have not seen her since you guys got here?" We walked through a dark hallway down stairs.

"Don't know. Tommy came across her on our way here, but she told him to leave. I suppose Teresa is gone now." Newt walked in front of me and Aris behind me.

"Gone? Like dead?" We heard screeches and noises, but as long as we did not have a bright light showing, we were going to be fine.

"No, I just suppose she went her own way." Newt was going to say something else, but Jorge hushed us. We came to a sudden stop and stood in one place.

"I am going to turn on the light." Jorge's voice. "You do the same muchacho." I could hear Minho growl. Jorge must have had hit him or something.

A bright light shone out across us. I even turned on my light and had a panic attack. We had been walking on a cliff this entire time. On our right side there was a steep cliff, and on our left were buildings. "Newt!" I grabbed onto his shoulder.

"Calm down Jay, we will be fine." He put his hand on a weak wall next to us, and sighed. "Hey, you know how to get us out of this mess." He said this to Jorge.

"Yeah I know muchacho. Let us just hope now Cranks wake up to this light." Jorge began to walk again. Everyone followed close to each other's heels. Each step now more weaker than the last.

"Aris, hold onto my backpack." I commanded this at the young boy as we continued to walk down the narrow steps.

"No, if I fall you will also. Jay-"

"Just do it!" My hand no longer on Newt's shoulder. "I know, if you go down, I do. So what, at least we could try to pull you back up." A strong grasp grabbed my backpack.

"Jay you really want to risk your life for that kid?" Minho's voice.

"Yes, because most of my time in W.C.K.D. I was protecting this kid, his friend, Thomas and Teresa. I am use to risking my life for these kids, plus what can be worse than what I have already gone through." I laughed for relief. I had been attacked my Cranks, stabbed in the abominable, attacked by a Griever, and a wall almost fell on me in the Scorch. "Something just tells me that I am not suppose to die yet." I laughed again.
