Forever // newt// the maze runner fanfiction

Chapter 25

I looked back an forth from the griever an newts panicked face. The griever doesn't move it's just stands there as if observing us. Newt looks at me and grabs my hand. as if sensing the movement the griever slowly rolls towards us then stops once agains coming to a stand still. i looked at newt and he nodded. the griever moved forwards once again and newt began to pull me as we ran down the maze wall we ran around the corner and at the end of the coridoor.

"When it comes you have to run to the left and they should crash together." newt says looking back and forth giving my hand a squeez before letting go and preparing to jump. i did the same and gripped Kayla tighter to my body.

"Ready... Steady..." The grievers charged at us as we jumped to the side slamming into the wall as i grabbede Kaylas head trying to protect her as much as possible. My shoulder slammed into the wall sending a sharp pain from there.

I looked over to see the two grievers crashing into each other legs an spikes colliding both making a horrid scream that pierced the air.

Newt yelled my name and I saw him turning around further down the corridor. I ran towards him the grievers still wailing. Kayla was also crying probably because of the noise but I couldn't stop.

We raced down hallway taking turn by turn. Newt seemed to know the maze pretty well. Reminding me that I don't know anything about him before I came up in the box.

We continued running non stop passing signs with different numbers on. 8,1,3. I had no idea what it meant but I couldn't risk asking newt just incase something heard us.

We had been running for about 3 hours. Newt had his watch on but it had gotten to dark to read it. Kayla had fallen asleep or silent in her backpack which we stopped to put her in.

Suddenly, a groan was heard echoing through the corridor sending a sickening shiver down my spine. Although we couldn't see it the noises sounded as if it was right in top of us.

Newt paused at hearing it and I skidded to a stop behind him. He put his finger to his lips. He looked even more warn out than the last time he turned around. I nodded to show I understood and he turned back around the only sound our heavy breathing and the ever present groaning of the griever.

We continued walking newts limo more obvious than ever. The groaning was low like a rumble above and below us.

A sudden liquid slid akin my face. Newt heard my squeak and turned his eyes filling with fear. He grabbed my hand and yanked me sprinting as the sound of metal against stone erupted from behind and I turned to see a griever fall into the space we were just walking in.

I sprinted and was now tuning along side newt. He looked over at me his eyes filled with terror mine probably looking the same.

We ran but the griever was gaining ground quickly. Turning turn after turn trying to loose it.

We turned one corner and at the end a loud boom sounded and the wall started to close. I panicked but newt carried on dragging me by my hand.

We ran the wall closing more every step. We arrived at the wall with only just enough space for us to get though newt ran in first still holding onto my hand as if his life depended on it.

The wall closed even as we ran through it. My hands pressed against it the end coming closer and closer.

I pushed my self out if the gap my breath coming in uneven gasps. I looked up as newt ran towards me.

Before I could do anything he pushed me onto my stomach he let out a cry of pain as Kayla started crying.

I turned around sitting up.

The sight I saw broke my heart.

The driver was squashed between the wall one leg protruding with a sharp blade sticking of of it.

But what I saw next was worse.

Newt lead on the ground wincing. Blood dripped from his back his t-shirt ripped down in a long curve.

A pool of blood surrounding him already.

He winced again and looked up at me and gave me a small smile. My heart breaking even more.
