Y/N POV
Thomas, Minho and I ran for a good half an hour before stopping for lunch. Inside the maze felt damp, and despite being sunny the shadows casted from the walls made it feel eery.
"So- what exactly are we looking for?" I gasped for air to catch my break, quickly taking a swig of water from my canteen.
"Well a way out slinthead." Minho said. I snorted. Hes a frickn sass ass.
"No shit sherlock. But by the looks of it there isnt any 'exit' to be found." I scoffed and took a bite of my lovely sandwich Frypan made with roast beef.
"Guys..stop bickering for a second, would ya? Look..." Thomas stood up, walked slowly towards the wall that was right in front of us. He squinted as he approach the mass of concrete, bringing his hand towards the ivy.
"What is it?" Minho asked, suddenly intrigued yet alert. He stood up as well, approaching Thomas from behind. Thomas pushes the ivy that clung to the wall out of the way, and written on the concrete in big black letters were the words:
World In Catastrophy Killzone Experiment Department.
"Wicked.." I whispered, furrowing my eyebrows.
"What the hell does that bloody mean?" Minho said.
"Well WCKD is the label we get on all our supplies right? Wicked? Maybe that's what the creators of this hell hole are called?" Thomas questioned, stepping back while resting his hands on his hips. By now I had finished eating, so I stood up as well, packing my belongings.
"Guys we should go tell Newt and Alby." I said.
"Good ide-" Minho was cut off by a loud clang. A series of mechanical clicks and purrs filled the void between the walls, and the three of us slowly turned around. There in the shadows of the walls stood the outline of a massive figure. Goop dripped off it's body and onto the cement ground, finding its way between the cracks. It ascended down the wall, stepping into the sunlight and my eyes absorbed the sight of a gruesome beast. Slime oozed off its face and body, holes sunken into the top of its head for eyes, which were barely visible. The body was propped up on a set of long metallic legs, shaped like spears that were ready to impale whoever stepped in its path.
And I recognized the biomechanical beast anywhere. It was a griever; but not just an ordinary one. This one was more advanced. Its legs more thicker, spikes protruding out, and a tail that stuck out it's behind with a metal claw attached.
"Shuck." Thomas mumbled, before screaming the word run. The brown haired boy immediately clasped onto my wrist, pulling me along side of him.
The metallic sound of the beast bounced closely behind us, and even though we all knew it was right on our trail, non of us dared to turn around.
Just as we passed another corridor, the cool dusty breeze that signalled the doors were closing spiralled down along side us.
"Shuck shuck shuck shuck SHUCK!" I whispered to myself.
I was running so fast I felt my legs begin to give out, and I began slowing down. That's when I felt an intense pain spread across my back, and screamed in complete agony.

Newt POV
I paced back and fourth just outside of the maze entrance. They should be back by now! I rubbed my bottom lip, furrowing my brows. I shouldn't be thinking the worst, but it was bloody hard.
Wind came running down the entrance, cascading across my face. The clicking of rock sounded and I could almost feel my heart leap out of my chest; the doors were beginning to close.
"Are they not back yet?" I heard a pubescent boy yell and I turned around making eye contact with Chuck. I shook my head.
"No, no they're not."
I turned back staring beyond the walls, and squinted once I saw four figures; a boy, another boy, a girl and..a griever.
The doors were going to close any second. Inch by inch getting smaller, I started biting my nails.
"Thomas, Minho, Y/N!! HURRY!!" Chuck screamed.
Their bodies squeezed through the doors, Thomas pulling Y/N forward by her wrist, her body falling onto mine.
I fell backwards into the grass from the impact.
The griever shrieked as the maze doors closed around it.
I wrapped my arms around Y/N, pulling my face into her neck.
"Jesus Y/N..." I mumbled, sighing heavily. I pulled myself away from her. "Ar-re you ok?" I asked, holding onto her beautiful face.
"Y-yea...but m-my ba-ack." She gasped, groaning in pain, before letting out a short breath and collapsing.
