That's when it hit me.

I could of ducked.

I could of pushed someone in front of me.

I could of even jumped.

It struck me in my shoulder as I made eye contact with the boy who took off sprinting into the maze, so he couldn't be found.

I fell backwards and before I hit the hard ground, a pair of hands caught me firmly.

Ben and Alby took off to find another med-jack and tell Gally about James.

"Shuck." Minho held the fresh cut on my shoulder. "Shuck. Shuck."

"Would you stop freaking out?" I groan.

Minho smiles weakly at me.

"I don't know how to react to this." Newt shakes his head. "You can't die, you can't just disappear from us."

"I'm scared." I say looking at his soft eyes.

"Audrey please." He begs.

"I can't explain this in any way that it will make sense, I can't tell you how you ended up in here nor can I tell you why James was sent to kill me." I press my hands against his face, though they are bloody, he doesn't move them. "But I can tell you that we had many memories together."

Minho and Newt look confused as I speak but listen carefully.

"I've had it." Newt stands up and my hands drop.

"Newt?" Minho questions.

"I'm finding that slinthead." He heads to the maze. "And if you are smart, you wouldn't stop me."

"No." I shake my head. "Get me to a med-jack before I bleed to-"

"Don't even say it." Newt flinches.

"The walls will be closing soon, let the grievers get him."
