The Maze Runner

Chapter 26

The Greiver claw yanked Anna out of the hole, along with my, my fingers gripping to the metal! When we got out of the hole I let go, it still had Anna in its grasp! It didn't even look at me just at Anna, preparing its tools! I turned around to see Newt helping Valentine out of the cell, I had no weapons...they took them. Newt and Val stared at me with a look of horror, I looked back to the Greiver and Anna, Anna was squirming in its claw! She was screaming and the Greiver was shrieking it's horrible sound! I notice the scratch on its back...this was he Greiver I had sliced in the Maze! It was now or never, be brave. Be the old Mack.
"Hey ugly! It's me you want, I sliced YA up!" The Grover turned its head, it's expression never changed, always evil.
It purred its mechanical sound as I put my fists up,
"Yea, you remember me huh? You want, come get me?" Even though it couldn't understand me it realeased Anna, she landed on the ground on her side,
"Anna! Run now! Val get her out of here!" Val didn't move,
"Now!" She snapped out of her gaze and her and Anna took off running, the Greiver must've been waiting for them to leave, time for the real fight. I noticed a figure next too me, Newt.
"Newt get out of here!"
"Not a chance!" I didn't have time to argue, the Greiver let out one more scream before its tail reached for me, me and Newt dived in opposite directions, the Greiver turned to me, it's tools flying everywhere,
I put my fists up once again, the Greiver's tail rotated then reached to grab me, I punched it with as much force as I had in my body, it knocked the claw out of the way, a few more tools came my direction! I kicked the needle right off the arm! I knocked the other tools away from me, I guess the Greiver realized this wasn't going to be an easy fight, cause it charged for me! I stepped back, I couldn't beat it without a weapon! I saw a large metal spear lying on the ground a few feet away, I made a break for it! I ran towards it when the Greiver slid right in front of me! It took me by surprise and I stumbled back! The Greiver was right over me, I was under its disgusting stomach, it mouth drooling on me, it's mouth inched closer towards me, I wedged my arm in its mouth, to keep it from biting my head off! The teeth dig into my skin, the drool getting all over my arm, GROSS! I couldn't take it much more, without a weapon I was helpless, even I was no match for a Greiver bare handed! I closed my eyes and waited to be ripped to shreds when I felt the teeth remove themselves from my arm! I opened my eyes, Someone was walking the Greiver with a pole...two people! They were on either sides of the Greiver, stabbing their weapons into it, I couldn't just sit idle! I got up and ran towards them, I got near them, it was Newt and a dark haired boy...the dark haired boy took a quick glance at me. Thomas! I guess he recognized me too, cause he yelled,
"Mack! Catch!" He tossed a machete towards me, I caught it and gripped it firm, Newt and Thomas were still stabbing the sides of the thing, it's tools flying everywhere, it's blades cutting them up, they needed to hit in the head! It's my chance,
"THOMAS, NEWT! Head ups!" I yelled, they both looked at me when I was a few feet from the Greiver I jumped, my feet planted onto it squishy back, my feet sank it, yuck, the greivers tools tried to reach me but the couldn't, I took the machete and drove it into the Greiver's mechanical head, it shrieked then, went limp and dropped. I was sinking into the Griever, I was knee deep into it. Thomas and Newt dropped their weapons and grabbed my hands and pulled, my feet slowly came out of the Greiver sticky flash, they were pulling so hard we all fell.

Once we stood up, we all just looked at each other, me and Thomas especially,
"Hey shuck face." I said,
"How Ya doing?" He said sarcastically, I couldn't help my self, I hugged him, he hugged back. My friend, the person who helped me remember who I was, was here, and he helped me. I saw Newt behind us looking awkward, I let go, and folded my arm as.
"Your late." He nodded,
"I know, sorry." I smiled,
"Um Thomas, Mack...look." We turned to where Newt was pointing, the Greiver's were leaving, rolling right past us to the entrance, they were slow. except the one we killed. They got someone...
"Newt, did you se who they got?"
He shrugged,
"Looked like a girl with long blonde hair." I heard a scream coming from the Greiver's direction. Sounded familar, high pitched...oh gosh no, it can't be.
"Mack what's wrong?" Thomas asked, my mouth dropped open but my lip quivered...thy can't.
"They...they got Liz. No, they can't get Liz, I-" before I could say anymore I ran after the Greivers!
"Come back!" I heard Thomas tell, I didn't care. I. Kept. Running.
