Chapter 8. Minho's POV.
I run through hall after hall trying to escape the maze walls that are trying to crush me. My heart beats faster then I ever thought possible.
I hate the maze. I absolutely truly hate this shucking maze. Why can't it be as simple as a corn maze? I mean really is a map to mucch to ask for?
I turn left but come to a stop, the walls are closing in there. So I turn around and run the other way as fast as my tierd legs would let me. I feel like I've been running forever.
My mind is hooked on one thing. FIND THE FREAKING EXIT. I run faster or at least try to. Then my feet are stuck. I can't move, the walls are closing in fast on both sides.I scream in effort trying to free myself. But I can't and its to late anyway. The walls close in around me and I scream, my hands over my head.
Then I'm on my knees breathing heavy. My hearts beating fast, I feel nothing but fear right now. Its a new feeling to me. I usually don't allow myself to feel fear or show any signs of weakness.
Then the place around me changes and I'm back in the scorch in the middle of the crank city. The ground starts to shake violently and huge gaps open up in the ground.
I start to think nothing of it till I see the first creepy face of a crank. The bloody and beat face. The torn clothes and the insane smile that comes with it. I look behind me and see that there's more of them.
I turn in a slow circle. Their everywhere coming out of the ground, building, and even the sewers. That's shucking gross.
They hold weapons of every kind. They get closer. I can tell I'm panicing. My heart rate is so fast.
I spot a clear spot in the middle of two large packs of cranks. I try to make a break for it. Notice I said try. I run past them but a rope suddenly wraps around my ankles and my feet are yanked out from under me at full speed and I fall.
I make no sound as I hit the ground. Fear had now taken over my body. I don't know what it is about cranks that scares me so much. Their creepy faces or the fact that they could kill me anyway possible. Yeah that's it.
They yank me back and leave my feet tied up so I can't run. Then they surround me. I scream and shrink back and put my hands over my head, not sure what you could do at a time like this.
Then they fade away and I'm now in the same building we saved Thomas, and Brenda from when they had been kidnaped by cranks.
Then all my friends appear in front of me, Teresa, Brenda, Jorge, Thomas, Newt, Alby, Clint, Jack, Winston, Chuck, Frypan, and even Gally. All my friends, even the ones I couldn't save.
Their talking about a plan for something when a gun shot rang through the building and Newt falls to the floor. Blood soaking his shirt. My eyes go wide with fear and horror.
The gun goes off again and Alby goes down this time. Then Winston, Jack, then Gally. One by one they go down till only Thomas is left. He's just staring at me."You could have prevented this, its all your fault. You were our leader and you let us down."says Thomas.
Then yet another gun shot goes off and Thomas falls. And I just stand there he's right I could have done something but I just stood there and watched. I had screamed his name as I fall to my knees, my best friend is dead and its all my fault.
Then the place in front of me changes and I'm in the maze again. I hear the moan and whirring of the Griever before I even see it. My heart beats even faster, I'm not sure if that's even possible. So don't ask me.
I turn around and come face to face with a Griever. I panic. I turn and take of running yet again down the halls. I know where I'm going. I'm headed for the Glade.
I turn an and see the path that leads toward the Glade. But the walls close in and slam shut before I can even move a step. I yell in anger and take off running for the cliff. Its my last chance. I run as fast as I can.
The Griever not far behind. I do the stupid this and look behind me. Oh goody the Griever brought a friend. What joy.
I turn right and there's three more. I gasp and turn left and soon come to a dead end. I look and there's no ivy to climb. Well that's it I'm officially screwed. I turn and face the five Grievers coming my way. But before I can do anything one falls right on top of me and grabs my arm.
Its tools and appendages riping and tearing at my skin. Then the others join in. I scream in fear and pain. I felt more pain then I ever had my entire life.
Then the place changes again and I fall to the ground on my back. I gasping and wishing that this nightmare would just end already. Please?
Then I'm on my back in the scorch again three miles away from the crank city. I hear thunder and I know what's coming next.
Looks like its time to run again. I take off running again just as lightning stricks and hits the ground right where I was standing. I scream and run faster. fueled by nothing but blind panic. My mind racing.
Then one hits the ground right in front of me and sends me flying back. I scream and slam into the ground on my back but I'm right back on my feet. I run for a long long time.
Then the wind picks up and sand flys around me like a tornado. I can see it before I feel it. Then the lightning stricks me and all I feel in pure raw blistering pain.
Then I'm gone and I laying on my back. I can feel the eart under me. I hear my friends talking.
I take a deep breath before I open my eyes.
