The Maze (MCD boys x Reader)

Back to the Maze

Your POV:

After Jeffrey was finished showing me around we have a little party. I lay down in the grass staring at what looked like the stars. I feel someone grab my hand. I turn my head and see Jeffrey. "I used to do this every night. My head thinking you were actually by my side. Me being crazy and talking into air to myself." "You're here now and that's all that matters. I missed you since the day I left." "How?" "How what?" "How did you escape the Griever? I swear I saw it almost kill you." "I was lucky and it ran off." "Grievers don't just up and leave. Something happened that I don't know about. Tell me." "You don't need to know." "Jeffrey!" "Fine. It almost killed me. I got out of it's grip and ran. I found the door and jumped through. Happy?" I stare into his eyes, searching them for any lies. "Okay. I know you would never lie to me." I smile and look back up at the stars. "Does the Ma-" "Let's not talk about the Maze tonight." I shrug and sit up to be face to face with Zane. "Uh. Hey Zane." "Hey." "You okay?" "Yup." He gets up and leaves. "Well, that was weird." "Yeah." I shrug and get up. "Where ya goin?" "I'm going to go check out the Maze." "Aw. Come on. You should be relaxing." "There's no relaxing when you promised everyone you'd find a way out." I walk over to the door that leads into the Maze. I look at it closely. "I wonder..." I brush off the vines and leafs. I gasp. There used to be so many people here. "What happened?" I feel tears welling up at the corners of my eyes. I continue looking at the wall until I saw two names. "Mom... She was here... Along with dad..." I shake away the tears. " I should be relaxing." I walk over to the campfire. I sit down in between Gene and Zenix. I place my elbow on my knee and my head on my hand. What happened? Was it Grievers? Was it something else? Did a Griever get into the Glades? What was it? I get snapped back to reality by Zenix snapping his fingers in front of me. "Eh?" "I asked you a question." "I didn't hear it?" He rolls his eyes. "Never mind." I shrug and hop up. I walk over to Travis. "Hey Trav." "Hey beautiful." "As much as I hate to ask you this, will you go back into the Maze with me early tomorrow morning?" "Why?" "You were the fastest out of the group. I have an idea but, don't let Jeffrey know. I know he wouldn't approve." "Secrets. I'll keep it if I get a kiss on the cheek." "In the Maze." "Fine with me!" "Just be ready. We don't know what we'll find out there." He runs off jumping up and down. I shake my head and head off to the bunks. 

~Time skip to early morning~

I jump out of bed and sprint to Travis's. I shake him. "Come on. Get up Travis." I whisper. He gets up looking like he hadn't slept in days. "You okay?" "Yeah. Just tired." "Well, come on. We gotta get going." I drag him to the Maze. "What are we going to try to do?" "Okay. I have been thinking. Like all night." "Did you even sleep?" "Nope!" I whisper yelled. "My plan is that instead of going right, left, skip 3, right, skip 8, left. We go left, right, skip 3, left, skip 8, right." He nods. "Sounds like a good idea." The doors open and we slip through. "Just follow me." We keep running until the last right we had to do, wasn't there. "It should be right here, if I'm not mistaken." I put my ear to the wall. I hear low growls. "Travis. We have to run." "Why?" I grab his hand. "I can't drag you! We have to run!" I hear low growls coming behind us. "We have to get them off our backs before we get back!" "I know! First patch of vines you see, jump into them! I'll be right behind you!" I fall back behind Travis, looking back behind us. Grievers. A lot of Grievers. Travis jumps into a patch of vines hiding himself from them as I kept running. "I'll come back! If I don't! Go left, right, skip 3, left!" I keep sprinting, remembering which way is which. "Go away! Leave me alone you stupid Grievers!" I keep running and find some vines around a quick corner turn. I quickly hide in them. They rush by thinking that I'd gotten past them. I quietly sprint back to Travis. "It's me Tra-" I look in front of me. "No. No. You're dead. You can't be alive. No." She giggles. "I am not dead. I am quite alive." "Nope! I'm hallucinating. I'll see you around hallucinations." I walk past her and find Travis in the vines. I sneak up in the vines and kiss his cheek. "I'm back." His face went bright red. "What? You said you'd tell Jeffrey if I didn't give you a kiss on the cheek." "Y-Yeah." I grab his hand and drag him back to the Glades. Zane runs up to me and hugs me. "Why didn't you tell any of us?!" "You would've said no." "Duh! We don't know what's out there!" I sigh and he lets go. Jeffrey comes stomping up. He grabs my shoulders with his hands. "Why would you do that?!" "Aren't you glad that I made it back alive?! One of you haven't even asked us if we're okay! I mean, I saw something out there that made no freaking sense! Just! Just! Never mind. Like you'd even listen." I walk away from the three boys and to the bunks. Aaron, Laurence, Garroth, and Dante came running up. "Are you okay?" Aaron says calmly. I shake my head. "What happened out there?" "Ivy." "Ivy? As in like poison ivy?" I shake my head again. "Ivy. The psychopathic doctor."
