CHAPTER: T E N

"MINHO!" She shouted, before quickly making her way down the ledge. "ALBY!!"

"Elle?!" Minho turned to Alby and then shouted, "ELODIE!! THIS WAY!!"

"Follow my voice, Elle!"

She made it until she could finally spot the two of them. But why was Alby in the maze?

Whirr, clank, whirr, clank. The sound of a Griever came from afar. It galloped towards them, splitting them up once again.

"GREAT!!" Elodie sulked, trying her best to escape the alien-like creature. She eventually met with Alby, only this time, Minho was somewhere on the other side of the wall.

"Go to section 2!" Minho yelled from afar.

"What?!"

"The numbers!! Look at the numbers on the wall-section 2, okay?! It should take you to the entrance!!"

"Elodie. This way!!" Alby shouted. The two of them ran and ran but out from nowhere jumped another griever. It slammed Elodie against the wall, effectively pinning her if it wasn't for the spear that she held in between it. Its tail reached in the air, ready to sting her and her eyes widened...

"You forgetting about someone?" Alby asked the creature. It turned around and immediately began piercing at him with its stinger. It missed the first time, but the second time it got him in the side.

"NO!!" Elodie screamed. She lunged forward towards the griever and stuck the end of her spear into it.

"Minho!!" She yelled, spotting the runner in the distance. Once he arrived at the scene, his eyes widened.

"Get Alby!! He's been stung!" She drug him to Minho.

"What about you?"

"It's comming! Just go!"

"But-"

"GO!" she bellowed, using all her force to push the griever as far away as she could. It squealed in pain and then galloped away, taking the spear with it. She cursed as another blocked the way.

The only thing she could do now was pray for her life. Things went in a blur as she ran and ran. Suddenly, her world was tilting from side to side.

"Not now!" She groaned. Dizziness threatened her, until she turned the corner and found the perfect hiding spot.

Thirty minutes passed by and the unspeakable happened. A griever's claw peaked over the ledge as it pulled itself up toward her. Her eyes widened-How did it find her?  Elodie had no choice but to jump to the other ledge. She barely missed it but was able to pull herself down to the floor.

The griever came running after her and she switched directions fast. She stood still and quietly peaked out from behind the corner. Until the vines rustled behind her. A guy with brown hair and eyes to match popped out from beneath the brush. She widened her eyes.

"Who the hell are YOU?" She whisper-yelled. The griever stopped and then he put a finger to his lips, signaling for her to be quiet. They watched as it turned a corner and then he motioned for her to follow him.

"This way" he urged. They put a good distance in-between them and the Griever. Or so they thought.

"ABOVE YOU!" Elodie yelled. The griever shrieked in his face and then jumped in front of them.

"I'M SICK OF THESE THINGS" She huffed, while running her fastest, "FLYING OUT OF THE SKY!"

She turned the next corner, only hit up against someone.
