Group B (A Maze Runner fanfic)

Chapter Eight

Emily's P.O.V.

That was....unexpected. Didn't we just meet these boys? T and Minho stand there for a second while Thomas calms down.

"Let's just go, we need to find the way back to The Square," T says, crossing her arms.

"Uh, T I think you are forgetting something important, more like someone important..." I reply.

"Oh my goodness! Valerie! We've got two hours left before the doors open," she said checking her watch, "Let's go Newbie, we have to get her down! Scratch that, see if she is still there, if she is then we get her down!" She calls, already running down the large, stone paths.

I run to catch up with her leaving the boys looking very confused but after a second they follow us and catch up easily. Thomas ran next to me and Minho next to T.

"Who's Valerie!?" Thomas calls, nearly tripping. I grabbed his shirt to keep him upright until he regained his footing.

"Well, it's a long story! She is our leader, but she got stung today and I couldn't get her back through the doors before they closed. That's when that shuck face ran in here to help us and got stuck too," T explained, pointing to me as the designated "shuck face".

"Well where did you put her!?" Minho asked.

"Emily came up with an idea, a crazy one. We kind of strung her up in the ivy to keep from the Grievers." T replied, starting to lead us around the next corner.

"What!? Really? We had to do the same with Alby just a few nights ago. I can't believe we had the same idea!" Thomas exclaims.

"That's great Thomas but-" Minho started but was cut off. T had been just a stride ahead of us but threw her arm out and slammed it into Minho to stop him. She turned around and herded us back around the corner we just turned.

"What?" I ask her.

"There's another Griever," she whispered, "three of them."

"What are they doing?" Thomas asked moving to peek around the corner.

"Well, they're just sitting there. I don't really know," T said pushing him back, slightly.

"Why?" He asked.

"How would I know?" She sassed.

"Minho, this is just like last time," he said.

"I know," Minho replied.

"So what do we do?" Thomas asked.

"Wait what last time? You mean this has happened before?" T questioned.

"Ya, we were chased by a whole pack of them. We got rid of them over The Cliff," Minho explained.

"So how do we get rid of these ones?' I ask.

"The same way, over The Cliff." Minho answered.

"Ok, how?" T said, looking around the corner again.

"We'll explain when we get there but for now we need them to chase us."

"Ok," I say, " I'll get their attention."

Ignoring their concerned looks I step out from behind the corner and sure enough three of the monsters are sitting in wait. I slowly reach down and grab a rock at my feet.

"Well here goes nothing," I say. I whip the rock at then as hard as I can and with a deafening screech the burst into life. "Crap."  A hand grabbed my arm and I turn to see Thomas pulling me away. T and Minho start to run when we all get back together.
