I am Minho

Chapter 10

  Alby showed Ben around the Glade and he called a gathering. We all gathered at the Homestead to dicuss what group Ben would join. He picked me, the runners.

"Okay then, Ben, you will be joining Minho as of today," said Alby.

"Let Minho take care of the Greenie," sniggered Martin.

"Lets go now, Ben," I said ignoring Martin.

  Ben followed me to the Homestead as I gave, or more like tossed, him a backpack, a digital watch and a some running shoes. He caught everything but stumbled backwards and maintained his balance.

"How are you going to be a runner if you can't even catch a few things," I smirked.

I realised that Ben wasn't the talkative kind. After Ben put on his attire, we headed to Frypan's 'quarters' to get some snacks.

"What do you need today, shank?" he asked casually.

"Two sandwiches, two bottles of water and two apples," I said.

"Coming right up!" he said.

  Frypan gave us the food as we packed them into our backpacks. Ben and I walked for about an hour in the Maze before we got hungry and stopped. We leaned back on the wall and took out our sandwiches to eat. We heard a sound of something heavy moving across the floor. The ground started shaking and the walls starting moving.

"Quick! Lets go!" I yelled.

We ran fast, dodging the shifting walls, and made it to the entrance in time.

"What happened?" asked Ben.

"You asking me?" I said.

"You guys look worn out. What happened?" asked Alby.

"The walls. The walls happened," I said.

"The walls were moving, they were shifting into different places. Thank goodness we made it out on time," said Ben.

"What are they doing?" I asked, pointing at the group of boys standing around the Box.

"Some shank got an idea. We can make ropes out of the ivy and lower someone down. They tried throwing things down and never heard it land."

"Where's the ivy rope?" I asked.

"Here," he said as he handed me the very long rope.

"Woah! That's pretty long," I said.

"So who's going down?"

"I volunteer," said Martin.

"If it really works, I want to be the first one to escape," he added.

  We tied the rope around Martin's waist and he stood at the openings of the Box. We slowly lowered him down. It was going well until about ten feet when we heard a buzzing sound. Two sliver blades fowarded Martin slowly.

"Up! Up! Pull me up!" he screamed as he tugged at the rope.

"We're trying! But the rope got stuck!" Alby shouted.

"Hurry! I'm about to be sliced!" Martin said as he stared at the blade hoping it would stop.

"Try climbing up the rope!" Alby said.

"It's no use! The blades keep following-"

"Martin!" we all shouted.

  The sight was the most gory. His body was sliced into half and only his upper body remained on the rope. Alby pulled Martin's body up as we all took a step back. Words couldn't come out of my mouth.

"Let this be a reminder for all of us; don't try to escape through the box," said Alby.
