It's been a couple of hours since lunch and Minho and Alby should definitely be back by now, the run should have only taken half a day according to Minho. Newt is acting as if everything is fine but I can see in his eyes that he is scared.
It's now about twenty minutes until the doors close and they're still not back. we're still in the garden but Newt, Zart and I stopped working roughly 10 minutes ago, and we're now just watching the doors, they should have been back hours ago. what if they don't make it?.
10 minutes later and I've had enough, most of the other runners are already in the map room.
"What happens if they don't make it?" I ask Newt. He looks at me with a calm expression but his eyes show a thousand worries.
"They're gonna make it"
"And if they don't?"
"They're gonna make it." He snaps. I sink back and he sighs. "Sorry Tommy"
Five minutes later and we are at the doors, searching for Minho and Alby. All the other runners are back now, and most of them are finished in the map room. When we hear the all too familiar sound of stone grinding against stone Newt's hand finds mine. Just as I'm about to give up hope I see a shadow move up ahead followed by the shape of Minho dragging Alby around the corner.
"There! look. There!" I shout pointing, all eyes focus on the two boys, and every voice shouts words of encouragement.
"They're not gonna make it" says Newt. The doors are getting closer and closer, and the likelihood of the pair making it back in time is getting smaller and smaller. Minho drops Alby. There is a mixture of 'leave him!' And 'drag him' Minho shakes his head and lifts the older boy up once more.
"COME ON MINHO!" I yell. Desperate for them to return safely. I look at the doors. They're not going to make it. The doors are so close now. I see all hope drain from Minho's eyes and he slumps down. My feet start to move before I can even register what's happening. I let go of Newt's hand and I guess he realises what I'm doing.
"DON'T YOU DO IT! DON'T YOU BLOODY DO IT TOMMY!" He yells. I ignore him and propel myself forwards and between the gap in the walls. I have to turn sideways to avoid getting squished by the doors. I finally reach the other side and fall through into the maze corridor. I turn to see an unconscious Alby and one very sweaty Minho.
"Good job" the latter breathes. I look up at him in surprise. "You just killed yourself."
Sorry it's so short
