AUDREY'S P.O.V.
Everyone turned into the maze and began to run. We didn't look back. Minho had told me that where we were going was pretty far. It hadn't sunk in that we were actually doing this. We were all about to go fight a shuck Griever with no clue how to.
Thomas and Minho were leading us. I was right behind them with Newt. My brother began to fall a little behind because of his limp but it just made him work harder.
After about fifteen minutes Newt slowed down and so did Minho. He slowed until he was next to me.
"What's wrong?" I asked and he have me a strange look.
"What isn't wrong right now?" he replied. We stayed silent and just ran for a minute or two before he spoke again.
"I..." he began "Where is Newt?"
"His limp..." I trailed off. Newt didn't like showing other people his weaknesses. He wanted everyone else to think they could go to him if they needed help so I didn't need to explain. Minho understood.
"It scares me. How is he supposed to fight a shuck Griever if he can't even run to it?" I asked him quietly not knowing where Newt was.
"I think He is worried way more about you than himself." he told me.
"Well he shouldn't be." I said and we remained silent for a few seconds.
"Audrey?" he asked
"Yeah?" I replied
"I know you're strong," he began, "but are you sure about fighting a Griever?"
"Minho I want to get out. I want to have a life outside of the maze. And if that means fighting a thousand greivers to get out with you and Newt and everyone, then I will."
