Memories of the past! The Maze Runner!

The box

Matilda's pov

The never-ending darkness jerked me awake. I felt the walls around me, one corner, then another. It was a lift. I was in a bloody pitch black lift with a screaming alarm ricocheting inside my head. I fell to the floor with the sudden stopping of the lift.

The ceiling cracked and light blared through, I backed into the corner shielding my nocturnal eyes. Jeez I must have missed ten years of eating my carrots.

My memories came pounding back. Newt, Theresa, Thomas, Minho and Chuck. Oh God! Chuck!

A dirty blond haired boy jumped down, he offered his hand and reached out. Midway he froze, recognition flickered in his eyes. "Newt?" I croaked out, my throat raw from dehydration and screaming. Another boy jumped down and yelled at Newt to hurry up. He glared at me and yanked me up. He threw me out of the lift, I tripped and face-planted into the dirt.

I heard chuckling and insults from above, the embarrassment turned to panic.

I jumped up and scanned the crowd, I pushed through the crowd to the four I recognized. " Newt, Tom, Tessie, Minho where's Chuck?" I spun and Minho started to mumble gibberish,

"Min, where's Chuckie? Minho answer me! Where is he?" My voice was getting more panicky. I scanned the crowd, I turned round and round and then he came running. I pulled him into a giant hug and I felt him sobbing against me.

"Where's Max? Tilly where's Max?" Chuck asked through sobs. Tears rolled down my cheeks. "I tried, I really tried Chuck. I begged them to let him go......"

"Alright! That's enough! This isn't a family reunion! You're going in the slammer!" A guy called Gally shouted

"Calm down everyone!" Screamed a dark skinned eighteen year old boy. "Hi I'm Alby." He said "I'm the"

He never finished that sentence as the high pitched scream of a six-year old rented the glade's stone walls.

"No!" I screamed, taking off running into the maze.

"Put her in the slammer!" Alby ordered. Gally persued me, with his blocks of muscle friends not far behind. I turned and kicked him in between the legs, he howled and doubled over. I sprinted past the doors and continued running in to the stone maze.
