"Annabelle, Annabelle, what the shuck?" I heard a voice shaking me. My head throbbed as I tried to move.

"I can't m" I tried to speak but the voice understood and helped me sit up to lean against something.

Where am I? I struggled to remember...

The maze. It dawned on me.

"What time is it? where am I?" I asked frantically to whoever is helping me.

"Annabelle. The doors closed an hour ago. What are you doing out in the maze?" They asked

"I- I- don't know. I basically went into a trance and couldn't move until I fell. It doesn't make sense, but I couldn't control it." I said

"Well I need you to open your eyes and come with me if we are going to get you back to the glade." The voice said and I slowly opened my eyes and came face to face with freckles. And eyebrows.

"Gally?" I gasped. "What are you doing here? And why are you helping me? I thought you hated me....?"

"Come on, stand up. I'll help you and explain on the way." He said. Sure enough he slowly helped me stand up. And let me use him as a crutch as we slowly started walking through the maze.

"Now. Explain." I pushed him.

"I don't belong there. Everyone is just bowing down to that kid Thomas and changing all of the rules. The rules are what have kept us in order and all of those shanks are throwing away all of that for the Greenie" he said.

"I agree with what you said, Thomas is different. But it could be a good kind of different that could help us leave this place. But I thought you hated me too?" I asked

"I don't hate you. Everyone just sees you as this perfect little innocent girl" and sighed "and yesterday I thought you were hiding something from everyone else, but now I can see that isn't true." He said. For some reason, Gally is being really nice? If we make it to morning, the other glasses are going to have my throat.

"Did you come out here to die?" I asked Gally

He stopped at the sound of clicking and started to push me in the opposite direction. "You need to run. Right now turn and run as fast as you can and hide in the ivy. I will come find you later."

I started to go as fast as my legs could carry me. My head pounded like crazy and it felt as if my skull we're going to explode but I kept going until I saw a hole in the stone walls covered in ivy.

I crawled into the small spot and waited, careful not to make a single sound. Giant mechanical spider legs came crashing down the corridor of the maze and stopped right in front of me. Goo dripped from the monsters body and I squeezed my eyes shut, knowing my hiding spot is blown. The giant griever just kept walking though, and didn't show up again the rest of the night. However, the moans, clicks, and roars of grievers filling the maze haunted me all night.

***

Still huddled in my ball I can tell it's almost morning. I've been sitting here hiding for hours, I can hear the sound of running coming my way. "Gally?" I yelled.

"Annabelle? Where are you?" He asked

I crawled out from my hole and started to walk towards the sound of his voice. "In the maze" I said and he chuckled

"Very funny" he said and I turned a corner to see his back to me

"Gally" I yelled and he turned to me

"Thank goodness, there you are. How was your night?" he asked

"Well I say and listened to griever noises all night on a cold floor, but It could have been worse" I said

"Yeah you could have been fighting the grievers" he said and showed me his arm muscles.

"You fought grievers?" I asked him

He shrugged "well no, it turns out the shuck things aren't smart at all, so I hid all night too"

"Point is we survived" I smiled

"Exactly." He said and looked down "the doors are going to open soon, I'll show you the way to them and then leave you to face the shanks in the glade."

"Are you coming back with me?" I asked

"No." He said with a stone look on his face "I belong to the maze now"

I nodded, if this is what he wants. "Well thank you for the help last night"

He smiled "Come on, the doors are this way"
