Group B (A Maze Runner fanfic)

Chapter Six

Thomas' POV

"What the shuck is this?" Minho asks. The two girls help each other up and look at us dazed. I can't help but notice how beautiful the one I bumped into is. She has dark brown hair and deep brown eyes. She looks me in the eyes for what seems like forever and then quickly snaps out of it like nothing happened.

"Who the hell are you guys?" The other girl says. I see her reach for something in her backpack. She pulls out s knife and holds it out at us.

"Hey! No need for weapons!" Minho says. I can see his anger and confusion building inside.

"Then answer, my question!" She barks. "Who are you?" Minho rolls his eyes and runs his fingers through his hair.

"I'm Minho. And this shank is Thomas." I smile awkwardly not having any clue as to what's going on. Did the creators send these girls here? And why?

"Do you two have names?" I ask a little nicer than Minho is sounding.

"I'm Emily." The dark haired one says. Emily.

"That's a nice name." I smile.

"Stop flirting!" Minho sasses. I can feel my cheeks burn up. Along with Emily's. "And you?" He asks the other girl.

"T." She says holding out her hand for a shake. Minho doesn't take it.

"What kinda of name is that?!" He laughs. I can see T fill with anger.

"Not any better than Minho!" T sasses back. Oh burn.

"OKAY! Shut the shuck up all of you! Where are you from, what are you doing and why are you here?" Minho says obviously angered from Ts comeback. Nobody says a word for what seems like forever. When finally Emily goes to say something.

"We're fr-" she gets interrupted by a clicking sound.

"Crap!" T grabs Emily by the wrist and pulls her around a corner. Minho and I glance a look. We know what that sound is and don't want to come across it again. We follow the girls from where they came and left.
***
Grievers come from every direction. With barely any weapons to defend ourselves, all we can do is run. I turn the next left with everyone and see Emily fall face first. I quickly help her up.

"You're knew at this too aren't you?" I ask. She nods. T and Minho are way ahead of us by now. All Emily and I can do is run faster than we have probably ever ran before. Just then, a griever jumps down in front of Emily and I, cutting us off from Minho and T. I quickly turn around knowing we have just been separated from T and Minho and start to run before noticing that Emily hasn't moved yet.

"Emily!? Let's go!" I grab her hand and pull her along the maze. The further we get into the maze the more we move in sync, Emily leaning into turns even before me. We make a sharp turn to the left and I pull her under some ivory on the walls.

"Shhh." I say putting my finger up to her lips. Click click click. The griever has slowed down. It must know we are near. I squeeze Emily's hand tighter as the griever gets closer. I just meet this girl, and I think I am already falling for her...

After what seemed like hours of waiting for the Griever to pass, it finally leaves. I slowly tiptoe out of the vines and make sure it's all safe. I don't see anything and let Emily know it's safe to come out. She walks out of the vines looking nervous, though very aware and ready to go.

"Next mission, find the other two." I say. She nods throws her hair in a pony tail. I look at my watch and see we have four hours until the doors open again. There may be no Griever now, but we got to keep and eye out. You never know when these things will come running around the corner.

"We lost them in this direction, so backtrack?" She asks.

"Of course." I say leading her the right way. If only we had water. Minho had all of ours, and I don't even think T and Emily had any.

This time she leads the way and seems to be finding her way around every turn like she's done this a million times but I remember her saying that she was new to being a runner. It's strange, it's the same thing that happened with me. I felt like I knew the maze, even though I had no memory of it. So we ran.
