Please Save Me [The Maze Runner]

Chapter 7

CHAPTER 7

By the time Newt recovered from his shock, the other runners made their way to the wall. It was time to go.

We stayed out until it became dark and headed back towards the wall. Then all of a sudden, these big-assed bugs- no, what the hell was this? Machines? Bees? I don't even know. What the actual fuck. Whatever they were, they definitley weren't good news.

I had been lost in thought when I heard someone call out, "RUN!!" At this, of course, I did the only thing I could think of. I ran. I ran like hell.

Miraculously, we had all made it back to the glade safely. There were a scratches, bruises, and cuts, but nothing from the weird predators. Good.

But those things were seriously weird. They looked almost as if they were grieving and wanted us to join them..

Just then one of the runners walked up to me. "Nasty grievers, huh?"

I grinned. We had obviously been thinking the same thing. Grievers. Nice. "Yeah. Grievers. Exactly what I was thinking"

"Carzy stuff. We need to be more careful from now on. Maybe we should only go out during the day.."

He seemed to be talking to himself, but I replied anyway. "Yeah. from the looks of it, it seems like they only come out at night. We should call a gathering tomorrow and talk this over with the others" A Gathering- I didn't think a meeting would be an appropriate word for our get togethers; It sounded way too formal.

"Yeah"

"I think we should get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow"

I walked away, planing to get some sleep, when I spotted someone leaning against a tree, looking up at the stars.
