the night approached quickly as the maze fell into a sudden darkness. the sound of the doors the the glad colliding sent vibrations throughout the maze. Thomas laid down with newt's blanket sprawled on top of him which I stared out at the moon. it had been my favourite part of mine and Thomas's trip.
I looked around, keeping an eye out for any movements down below but expected nothing. the doors to section seven were sealed shut so there were extremely low chances of spotting any grievers tonight. seen as section six is due to open tomorrow Thomas and I were in luck.
but to my sudden surprise the doors to section seven had pried open slightly, no where near wide enough for a griever to slip through. i shook Thomas awake, "aye, take a look at this." I pointed down towards the doors to the outer section the sector seven. "they arent mean to open for another-"
I suddenly stopped, my jaw hitting the floor, soon followed by thomas's. the last this I would have ever expected to emerge was a girl. dressed in fully black versions of our own running wear. her belt held many knifes and a spear was on her back.
she then ran, and suddenly she was gone.
"what the actual shuck?"
I contemplated going after her but by the time I would have gotten down she would have been long gone, deep in the maze. so Thomas and I stayed put, still following out hour of watch in the hopes she'd come back.
and she did. Thomas shook me awake aggressively, not wanting me to miss her return. "we need to come back here, tonight." Thomas nods, "but first we gotta head home."
we had decided it would be best if they kept their discovery on the down low, as we didn't want to raise any suspicions or hopes. the two of us collectively agreed telling newt was the only way to go as we may end up returning to the glade tomorrow with another runner.
after an absurd amount of running we finally reached the glade, groups of people greeted the pair of us at the doors. and although we had made an important discovery the two of us headed straight over to the kitchen and at as much as we could.
newt sat in-between us and wrapped and arm around each of our shoulders. "welcome back boys, any news?"
we sat there and explained every single detail of our entire trip to him, his silence spoke louder than words, he was taken aback just as we were.
"so you're telling me that there is someone who runs the maze at night? and disappears at dawn?"
"a girl." Thomas adds, it kept going. part of me was convinced we had never seen anything and we were victims of our own imagination but I had a gut feeling that wasn't the case.
"so our plan is to get her tonight and bring her back by the morning." newt didn't say a word and simply nodded in agreement. "we will be back by mid-day."
we spent the day in the glade, gathering everything we needed and having a couple of hours to spare which Thomas spent at teresa's side discussing god knows what while I was scheming, being sure tonight would go perfectly.
hours passed and the two of us were finally running again, approaching our destination. but instead we sprinted passed the tall pillar and straight to either side of the doors, concealing ourselves in the vines ready to capture our prey.
