Game of the Labyrinth: the labirinthine games [Completed]

Chapter 21: Micheal

We all were silent as the sound of the suffle faded away. All I could hear was the sound of grievers screeching. I looked over at Steph, she was pale and her eyes were darting in circles . I walked over and hugged her. She pushed me away and ran to the wall. Before I could stop her she started climbing. she reached the top and gasped. I soon follwed her and bryson as well. We stared at the vast expance of desert. in the distance we saw a small black shape. I looked at bryson and said "That must be where the letter told us to go." Steph nodded and looked around, but there were no vines on this side of the wall and the top was completly sheer. We had no way down. Then Bryson muttered "only one way" we all looked at him. "what?" asked Steph. Bryson looked at her "we jump" he grunted. I stared in shock, then Bryson threw me over the edge. I landed hard in the sand but it shaped to my body and the pain disappears before I noticed, "What kinda ground is this?" I whisper letting it run through my hands.

When I look Bryson was laughing his head off and Steph was holding her stomach. I sat up and brushed sand out of my hair. "come on" I groaned and stood. Steph stood as well and Bryson after her. Then we started walking we had a long way to go.

After 5 hours of walking we saw someone coming towards us. I waved and the person started running. When he got within 5 feet we saw his face matted with blood and scabs. Steph gasped and stepped back. the person dives forward snarling "I am a bloody crank," it growls, I jump back and draw my sword. when the man charges again I slice blindly. I hear a mechanical squeal come from behind then the sputter of an engine and gun fire makes me swivel on my toes.

"More of you slintheads out here? Jesus, after the capitol over threw W.I.C.K.E.D things got pretty messed up" A tall muscular asian guy walks over to us and what they shot, the crank. We all looked at the guy oblivious of our current situation, what's W.I.C.K.E.D? The Capitol overthrew them? When? "The name's Minho, nice to meet you shanks" he said stretching out a hand to Bryson who was the closest.

"Bryson, that's Steph and over there's Micheal" Bryson said shaking his hand and motioning to us with his other hand. We all look very confused but Minho ignored it for the most part. He told us that some guy named Thomas can answer our questions. Minho takes us to this large camp mostly boys but some girls here and there. Tents are scattered around in a circle and a large one off to the side. There's multiple fire pits and picnic tables along with a concret building that is probably used for storage.

"We got another one of you only hours ago pretty beat up crank, nearly killed her" Minho said as we walked towards the larger tent. I see Steph's eyes grow wider as he listens about Oriel.
