The Maze Runner but without death (Survive #24)

Chapter 19

THOMAS POV:

"Not really" said Minho. "It's not important Tommy" said Newt. I ignored them and started leaving. Minho and Newt stopped me. "So what's the plan? You're going to go out and dissect that thing all by yourself" asked Minho sarcastically. "I will if I have to" I said. "It's a bloody griever Tommy" said Newt. "We can learn from it. Have the runners left yet" I asked. "The other runners except Ben, Daron, and Lewis quite the smorning" said Minho. We looked over and saw some runners talking to Gally. "Why didn't the others quite" asked Newt. "I don't know. Lewis however fainting from low blood sugar earlier so he can't come with but why aren't you afraid of being stung" asked Minho. "I think it's time we find out what we're up against" I said. "Alright, but you aren't going back out there alone. Meet me in the woods in half a hour" said Minho. He left to find others I assume. "Who is Lewis" I asked. "One of the runners. He's type one diabetic and faints some times so he isn't allowed to run the maze alone" said Newt.

"Oh, so we have a half hour" I said. "You know we can't have non runners going into the maze. But I will cover for you" said Newt. "Thanks Newt" I said. I kissed his cheek. "Come on, we can grab a snack before you go" said Newt. We went to the kitchen and had a few snacks. These brownies were amazing. I had some milk because Newt said we should be healthy as well and then I waited in the woods. Half a hour later Minho came with Frypan, Zart, Winston, Chuck, Ben, and Daron. "Will this be enough" asked Minho. I'm not sure I like the idea of Chuck going. "You all know what we are doing right" I asked. "If Minho and Daron trust you it's good enough for me" said Winston. "Okay, let's go" I said. We left and ran into the maze. Chuck stopped at the doors. He looked at the ground nervously. We stopped and looked back at Chuck. He looked at us. "Chuck you okay" I asked walking up to him. Chuck scratched his head. "What's going on buddy" I asked. Chuck didn't say anything. He only put his hands on his hips. "Hey it's okay" I said.

"You know I need you to stay here anyway. Keep guard and help Newt make sure no one knows we are gone. Alright, we'll be back" I said putting my hand on Chuck's shoulder. I patted his shoulder and ran off with the others. Chuck is safer in the glade anyway. Minho lead the way to the dead griever. Bark ended up following us. That dog with follow us everywhere. He had his favorite toy Mr. Carrot with him. He kept squeaking that darn thing the whole way. We finally made it to the griever. "That's disgusting" said Zart. I looked at the griever and noticed a red light. "Hey there is something in there" I said. "You mean besides a griever pancake" asked Frypan. "I ain't touching it" said Daron. Bark put his toy down and walked up to the griever. He started sniffing. "The shuck is he doing" asked Winston. Bark hicked a leg and started to pee on the griever. Bark finished and started sniffing again. "Wait, I see the red light" said Daron. Minho walked up to the griever and reached his hand in between the doors. He signed and tried harder. The griever roared and moved. We all jumped and Minho jumped back. Bark hid in a corner and was shaking with his toy.
