Mazes Are Meant To Be Solved
By Mad Wolves
Chapter one
Thomas's POV
"So many names to remember and I can't even remember anything but those two names. Who is Nick? Gally is the keeper of the builders but how did I know his name?" It had been three days since Thomas had come up in the box. Three long days of living in the Glade, with no memories of his life before The Maze. The only thing Thomas could remember from life outside of The Maze were two names.
"Nick, Gally!" Their names were screamed over and over again in his head. Until two days ago he had no idea who Nick or Gally were. Now the only one he doesn't know is Nick. Two long days seens Ben had attacked him in the woods talking about how he did something to them, seeing the girl had come up in the box with a note in her hand saying Shes the Last one Ever.
"Hey. Tommy, are you going to bloody help or not?" Someone shouted at Thomas. Thomas looks up from fiddling with the knife in his hands to see Newt talking to him.
"Hmm? What?" Thomas asked shaking off his last thought.
Newt stares at him in disbelief, shaking his head before scolding him, "You really ought to bloody pay attention." Thomas cracks a lopsided grin and Newt's face clouds over with darker memories of times before Thomas had entered. Thomas sighs before walking over to where Newt was standing. Before Thomas makes it over to Newt something behind Newt catches Thomas's eye. Thomas looks to see Alekos and Minho run into the Maze.
"What are they doing?" Thomas asked pushing past Newt.
"Who?" Newt asked turning around just in time to see Alekos and Minho disappear into the Maze. "Oh, they are going to retrace Ben steps after. You know to see if whoever placed us here took his body."
"Hey Newt, stop talking and start moving," a voice behind both of them called. Thomas spin around as fast as he could, almost hitting Gally smack in the face. "Hey, watch it Thomas."
"Sorry Gally, I didn't know you were so close." Thomas replied.
"Hey its okay, right Gally?" Newt interjected before any fighting could begian.
"Yeah, just don't do it again." Gally growled out. Thomas nodded his head in acknowledgement before faceing Newt again. Newt went back to cutting the tree stump down.

"It's almost nightfall, where are they?" Thomas stated pacing back and forth in front of the entrance to the Maze.
"I don't know Thomas." Newt said staring into the Maze hoping that they would make it.
"What if they don't make it?" Thomas stopped pacing long enough to ask before pacing again.
"Then they stay in the Maze." Gally answered back sternly but you could tell that he was worried.
"Well, can't we just send someone in to the Maze to get them?" Thomas by this time was starting to get stressed, wondering where they could be.
"No point of losing more people." Mal keeper of the slicers answered looking bored. Everyone waited another thirty minutes before giving up on the two Gladers in the Maze.
"Wait, guys they can still come back. Right Newt?" Thomas asked getting more worried by the minute. Newt shook his head before walking away. Thomas turned back to the Maze with his head down. Hee looked up to see Minho carrying Alekos. Just as they made it to the straight away the doors to the Maze started to close.
"Hurry up!" Thomas screamed at them which caught everyone's attention. They all turned around to find Minho and Alekos almost to the door which was closing fast. Minho rushed towards the door, but in the process dropped Alekos.
"Leave him Minho!"
"Come on faster!"
"Minho, Alekos!" Thomas screamed as the doors started to get closer together. Then everything started to slow down. In that moment Thomas knew what he had to do. Before anyone could stop him Thomas ran through the ever closing gap in between the doors to the Maze.
"Thomas wait!" Hovik, one of Thomas best friends, yells after him but Thomas doesn't wait. He jumps the rest of the way right as the door closes.
"Great going," Minho huffs out, " you just got yourself killed." before he passed out onto the ground. Thomas rushed over to Minho, checking that he was ok, before moving over and doing the exact same thing to Alekos. Once he was shere that Alekos and MInho were okay he to layed down right in front of the Maze doors. The last sound he heard before darkness consumed him was the metallic creeks and thuds of something robotic coming near.

Griever's POV
It turned the last corner, which lead to the entrance to the center of the maze. It stopped short when it noticed the bodies that were laid out on the ground. "Three in total" It thought looking down at the humans that laid underneath of it. "What should Griever do with them? Hmm, this is hard. Griever could eat them, but then Griever would not get to see what or how a human acts. I know.." It thought at last. "When the doors open tomorrow at sundown Griever will talk all of its kids to take this two and boy named Gally." When it had thought the words two boys it picked up and moved Minho and Thomas over together and took a blood sample of both. Once shere that its prey would not be going anywhere and was safe. It walked over to the other boy, He was sickly but was still useful to the Creators tormentors. Griever did not want to make Creator angry again. With a small sigh it turned around and walked away. Leaving two of the three boys curled up together like puppies to be found in the morning.
