Amaurotic \\ The Maze Runner [Newt] [1]

Chapter Six

[ P R E S E N T ]

Nova didn't know what was to come of her within the next two left turn's, she'd make, in her journey of solving the Maze. She thought nothing of it, she had a feeling that she'd be okay, but the world knew she was wrong. And not even the heaven's could help her now.

On her run, she had started thinking of the letter that was sent to her the week before. Motherly love, She thought. What did it mean?

Having that letter pop up so suddenly in her mind, it made her thoughts fuzzy, as she couldn't focus on exactly where she was running. Missing the correct left turn that she was supposed to take, and kept heading straight down the corridor that was unusually long.

Although, Nova picked up on how long she had been running straight, and tried to cover it up. Placing her finger tips on the cracked wall's, with the many little bumps, indicating her that there was a left turn right ahead.

As she finally had made her turn to the left, not knowing that she went the complete wrong way. She ran a little way's, before stopping, for a little break, for she could not run forever.

Nova stopped in her track's, slowing down every inch, soon coming to a complete motionless stance. She huffed heavily, with light hunger pain's growing each minute in the pit of her stomach.

She did not bother eating now, as she wasn't fully hungry. And she surely wasn't the one to waste. So therefore, Nova leaned her back against the wall, sliding down and sitting on her bum, her legs propped up for support.

After at least two hour's of taking a break, Nova stood back up, and continued with her running. Though, she wasn't exactly feeling herself that day. She couldn't shake her mind off of that one recent letter, Motherly Love. It was nothing like the other many letter's she had received weeks earlier.

Making the second wrong left turn, just like two hour's earlier, her mind kept on roaming on what the letter had meant. She tried piecing the puzzle of it together.

Most term's would tell you, 'Don't drink and drive.' The Glade's term told you, 'Don't get off focus while running the shucking Maze.' And they had specific reason's for that, Nova was about to find out why, very soon.

The letter kept bothering Nova, and it slightly triggered her frustrated side, causing her to go more out of focus. And take many more wrong turn's of many different unusual corridor's of the Maze. Sending her way off course of the Glade, and closer to the outer edges.

Nova had not a clue, of what she was about to get herself into. For she couldn't see it coming. Literally.

Nova dug herself deep into the Maze, at this point, there was no way she could find her way back now. And that meant trouble. And lot's of it.

As she had taken another two hour break a few minute's earlier, she stopped with her running. As she could of swore, she heard a sound. And it wasn't the wall's moving. This sound was different.

Nova noticed that she hit a dead end, feeling the cracked wall with both hands, trying to push her way passed even. She wasn't dumb, but she thought it was worth a try.
