just the two of us (newt x reader)

night in the maze

"Y/N WHAT THE HELL, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT" minho was angry
"minho i wasn't going to watch these walls close on you and leave you two out here"
"you bloody shank, so you decided you would come kill yourself with us then eh?" minho no longer had confidence in me, and i was going to prove him wrong
"NO MINHO, we're going to get out of here, all three of us, what even happened to thomas?"
"he tripped, he's hurt badly so i had to knock him out so he wasn't in so much pain" minho didn't sound so angry anymore, he was scared
"we need to hide him, in the ivy, anywhere!"
"no y/n, we need to leave him, we need to keep any chance we have of our survival, thomas is already a dead man"
"fine minho you go, go save yourself, but i'm staying here with thomas, i'm going to get him out of here, with or without you!"

i wasted no time and i grabbed thomas and begun to spin ivy around his waist to create a harness for him. i shocked myself with my own strength as i heaved the boy up the ivy walls and out of sight of whatever was going to happen tonight. i sat down and all i could do was cry. i had no idea what i was going to do and how i would even survive in here on my own now that minho's left me. i thought about newt, i wish he was here with me now. in just a couple days the boy has made me feel things i've never felt, when i'm with him it's perfect.

hours pasted and i was lead to believe i was in for an easy night. until i heard it. alby had told me about the grievers but it's different being told about seeing one and actually seeing one. the metal clashed against the harsh maze floors as it slowly approached me. i just froze. i didn't know whether to run or to hide. either way, the outcome didn't look good. my feet began to move before i could think
about what i was doing. i was facing the horrific monster. had i completely lost my mind, why was i trying to face it. it was much bigger than i had expected, much be at least 3 times to size of me. each side of it had 3 large metal legs that looks more like knives than anything else. metal blades spun around around them as it edged towards me. closer and closer yet my body felt more paralysed then ever. my mind didn't know what to do but my body did. i sprinted. the maze was changing and i was hoping i would run into a wall i could make it behind before the griever would follow me. i ran and ran, until i saw a wall slightly closing, this was my opportunity. i slowed down enough to get the timing right so when i slipped out between the walls, the griever would be squished.

30 seconds later and the griever is on my tail, threatening any life i have left in me to run. the walls begun closing quicker and quicker and the end seemed further away than i thought. this was a bad idea. i'm not going to make it to the end of the walls. i'm going to be squished with the griever. all the doubt i had needed to be pushed to the back of my mind and right now all i need to focus on was not becoming a human sandwich between these walls.
