-Unexpected-

"Guys get up!" The curly haired boy demanded as the walls began to open once more.

As it opened, an empty maze was revealed. No Minho. No Rob. No Thomas. No Alby. They were gone. It was true what they said about a night in the maze.

The gladers had gathered outside the doors, in hope of seeing a miracle.

"I told you Chuck, they aren't coming back" Newt said with no expression, before turning to walk away.

"Do you not have any hope?" Chuck mumbled," Not even for Robyn?"

Newt stopped in his tracks. He stared down at the floor for a few seconds before shaking his head with no reply.

Everyone had began moving back to their jobs, leaving the youngest boy alone.

Chuck felt defeated, he felt weak. The two people who treated him like normal, were gone. He now had to face the glade alone and that terrified him. Chuck knew he wouldn't recover from their losses.

Zart had turned back to grab Chuck before his eyes set on the opening. What he saw couldn't be right. The four gladers.

"No way!" He exclaimed causing the others to turn back.

Chucks face lit up as he saw the four of them stumbling towards him.

"YEAH, yeah!" He cheered in excitement.

Minho and Thomas had Alby's arms wrapped around their shoulders, Thomas's other hand was over the girls shoulder, helping her walk.

The gladers began to swiftly make their way over. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The 3 of them stumbled over, breathing heavily, the leader was still unconscious.

The gladers reached their arms out to take Alby. They rested the boy on the floor and as the weight lifted off them ,the three of them collapsed on the floor.

Chuck rushed over to Robyn and fell next to her.

"What happened to your leg? Are you ok? Did you see a griever?" He rambled.

She missed his voice.

"Hey hey, Chuck calm down. I'm fine i just lost my balance" She rested her head on his shoulders.

"Did you guys see a griever though?" He was eager to find out the answer.

All eyes and ears were on the three of them, waiting.

"Yeah i saw one" Thomas panted.

"He didn't just see it.......he killed it!" Minho said, addressing the crowd around him.

Every boys mouth fell the floor, no one had ever
survived the night in the maze, let alone killing a griever.

All eyes drew to Thomas, expect the girls. She scanned the group looking for the blonde boy. She found him crouched down next to Thomas. As her eyes fell onto him, so did his. Their eye contact didnt last long before he turned away, his lips curled into a frown.
