I look around as everyone struggles with a creature, Thomas stabbing one in the foot, Newt crawling away from one, Minho trying to stab one.

Something hits me around the head, I look up and see the creature I was fighting. I hit another bulb, my vision dizzy.

I move back and take another look around, AJ seemed more than determined to kill her creature, as did Lizzie who looks as though she was throwing profanities about as she fought. Joy looked badass as her eyes narrow, her black hair whipping around in the wind.

I focus back on fighting. The creature dives with its hands outstretched, the blades ready to plunge into my chest.

I roll out of the way and the creature wedges its bladed stubs for fingers into the dirt. As it tries to pull itself free I take the opportunity to stab more of the bulbs. Once all of them popped the creature fell, lifeless.

I spin around on my heels, two people were dead and everyone else fighting. I couldn't stop to look at the bodies, nor did I want to. I look around frantically for Michael, he was unaccounted for and I wasn't if he was one of the two people dead.

I finally spot him, a creature thrashing at him as it pins him down. I run forward, bringing back my foot and with a scream kicking it in the side, it falls off Michael and I pull him up.

A loud crack of thunder booms and a mass of light blinds me, a force pushing Michael and I backwards.

Michael covers my eyes as more flashes of light seeps through his fingers that were placed weirdly over my eyes.

The electric bursts subside and I pull Michael's hand from my eyes. A singed black circle now occupies where I had been standing seconds before.

I get to my feet shakily, most of the creatures were now dead. Jorge and Brenda still fighting theirs, a few more creatures had been struck by the lightening.

I watch as Thomas and Teresa run towards a pod, Newt and Minho follow. They climb in. I spin around, looking for a pod.

"We need to get in a pod, Let's go!" I shout. Michael gets up and we run for a pod, I signal for AJ, Lizzie and Joy who catch on and follow close behind.

I haul myself up with my arms and sling one leg over the edge before falling into a small puddle of murky water. A disgusting smell wafts up my nostrils,

I help Michael in. The others climb in with no problem, once we were in I close the lid.

The lightning continues to strike, the sound loud enough to make the pod vibrate.

a few seconds pass before what sounds like thunder crackles above once again and a loud crack sounds in the pod. A small hole in the top,

"It can't be too long, right?" I ask warily.

"No one knows, but we can't get to the safe haven if we're dead" Lizzie points out.

"Well it better be close" Michael says in an almost agitated voice.

If whatever was so supposed to happen didn't happen, we'll be dead. As I try to push the thought ever so far into the back of my head, more lightening strikes.

Minutes of silence between us pass, nothing but rolling thunder and wind that collides with the pod we were in.

A long vibrating sound is what I hear from inside the pod, I look at AJ, then Michael.

"What's that noise?" Joy asks.

No one replies, I move forward and push open the pod to see only through a thin line what was outside.

It looked like a berg, the same berg that had hovered over the hut only days before. The rain pattered down and the wind pushed it inside the pod, obscuring my vision.

On the opposite side where another pod stood was open, Thomas crawling out, everyone began falling out.

I scramble to push open the lid on the pod, "We need to go!"

I crawl out and my feet land on what was now mud. I slip but catch myself on the rim of the pod,

Joy was next and then AJ, Michael helps pull Lizzie from the pod. The others had begun running towards the berg,

I began sprinting, slipping in the mud and catching myself before I fall and repeating that cycle numerous times.

In the distance there were people fighting more of the bulbed creatures, the berg began lifting off the ground as we approached the rest of the group.

Both girls and Gladers began hauling themselves up onto the berg.

"Newt!" I yell, spotting him fighting one of the creatures.

"Get on the berg Rose! I'm right behind!" His tone was enough for me not to go against anything he was saying.

I race towards the Berg, as does Lizzie, AJ, Joy and Michael.

I brace myself and tread on the mud in multiple spots, avoiding getting my feet stuck.

"Rose, count to three!" Michael shouts, realising how worried I am at leaving Newt.

I take a deep breath, I count to three,

And jump.
