To Get To You | Maze Runner

Prologue

Chaos.

It was everywhere.

People running, screaming desperate for their lives.

But with me and him, everything stopped, came to a halt.

We were just kids sure, but even now. At 14 we knew that we were forever, and we knew what we had to do.

"Come on, if we're quick we can make it. Me and you, they won't turn us away." He yelled at me as we pushed through the crowds of people.

My heart was racing, we were going to get safety. We were going to have security from this virus. The whole planet was suffering but us? We were safe.

We were the next generation.

"Grab my hand, we're almost through!" He shouted to me again. I took his outstretched hand and was created with warmth.

Once we made it to the gate, being shoved my many others who also were desperate to get out of the madness, we were spotted by the security guard who immediately signalled for the gates to be opened to allow us through.

The second the metal was far enough apart for us to squeeze our bodies through, it was exactly what we did. Once we were through the gates were closed again, people were protesting and shaking the metal in hopes it would collapse. But it was looking dire.

"Come with us." One of the guards said to us as the main doors to the facility opened. I looked to my left and read the name 'World in Catastrophe Killzone Department'

This was the save haven, and we were just getting started.

As we made it inside, there were lab coats everywhere, and many other children around our age, who had also been granted safety.

He squeezed my hand, as if to say 'it's okay now. We've made it.'

"Right this way." A lady in white said to him. His hand released mine as he followed, but soon stopped. Looking back at me.

"Come on, let's go." He told me.

"Actually, just you. We already have too many girls." She stated, simply.

"We come together, or we both leave." I spoke up. Knowing he would agree with me.

"No I'm sorry sweetie. You don't have protection anymore. Guards!" She yelled.

They grabbed him but not before I reached his hand again. Clutching it for dear life, then I felt someone wrap their arms around my torso pulling me away from him.

"No!" I shouted.

"Get off me!" He protested.

I was being pulled towards the door and back towards uncertainty, whilst he was safe, and going to make it through this virus.

The doors opened and the heat from outside made me panic more. I hauled myself free and ran back to him.

"I'll find you, wherever you'll be I'll find you." I told him.

"Mallory!"

He was snatched from me yet again as I was taken towards the outside.

"Newt!"
