Don't Look Back

Chapter 4

So, I managed to wake up so shucking early (Holy. I use the Glader Slang.) and I don't even know why. I walked out of the house, just in time to see Alby and another boy sprinting into the maze. I was curious.

I thought that no one was allowed to enter the maze?

I walked to Newt, who was busy planting more crops, and asked him.

"Oh! Thats Minho, he is a runner. Only runners can enter the Maze, they know more than we do."

"Why is Alby entering the Maze too? Is he a runner?"

"What? No. He is not a runner, he must be holding a investigation on.."

"How Ben got stunk in broad daylight?"

"Yes. Now do your work."

Today's work was tough. I was ordered to built another house with straws as a new arrival is coming tomorrow. Finally, the sky darkened.

"Oh no! The Maze is closing Alby and Minho is not back yet!"

Everyone crowded around the entrance to the Maze, their face was filled with concern.

"Thud!"

The entrance began to close, slowly. Minho came into view, he was dragging Alby

"Alby is stung!"

"Minho leave Alby alone, or else you will not make to the Maze!"

Minho ignored them. Now the entrance was about to close completely, Minho definitely did not have a chance to reached to the entrance.

This is my chance to find out about the Maze

With all my might, I squeezed through the crowd and ran into the maze. Squeezing through the crowd, I managed to enter the Maze, just as the door closed completely, Minho was sitting on the ground beside me.

"Well done, you just killed yourself."

After realizing what I had done, I was very regretful, but it was all too late, wasn't it?

"Boom! Boom!" a sound echoed through the Maze.

"That's the Grievers, its truly terrifiying and there are coming!"

"Okay, we should run, but lets tie Alby up onto the walls filled with Algae, and the Grievers can never reach him."

Minho took out a rope from his mini backpack.

"Sounds like a good idea."

Mino tied Alby around the waist to the wall woth a rope. Now we have to just pull the rope so he could reach upwards. They used their might to pull the rope. The giantic footsteps from the Grivers could be heard louder now.

"There are here! Pull, pull! We are almost done!"

Now the Griever came into view. It was definitely monstrous, giantic and terrifying, it started to charge towards us.

"Sorry, but.. bye"

Minho let go of the rope and escaped. The monster was coming and he quickly pulled.

Finally, he managed to pull him to the wall.

He immediately dived into the wall of algae, camouflaging himself so the Griever could not see him.

"Thud! Thud!"

The Griever was right infront of him! His heart beated wildy. Slowly, the Griever moved away and I came back onto the ground.

"Whew!"

But that was not the end to this ordeal. Another Griever was right behind me!
