2. Chapter 2

Hey guys, so I accidentally deleted my chapter 2, I meant to delete chapter 7, so I'm restarting. I didn't really like the story anyway, so here goes-

He looked over his shoulder to make sure I was following, and then pointed to a small, dirty hammock. " this little beauty is yours, love." He said and walked away, back toward the box. I sighed and sat down on it, looking around. It was starting to get dark, so I swung both legs in and laid back.

I was starting to drift off, when I heard a thunderous BOOM.

I rolled off the hammock with a grunt, looked around and and walked over to Newt who was swinging in his hammock. "What was that?" I asked, but I didn't hear his answer because another sudden noise jolted my attention away from him. It was stone grinding through stone. Fear raced through my veins like electricity and I looked around, panic stricken.

A hand fell on my shoulder, and I whipped around to see the hand belonged to Newt. "It's the walls closing. It happens every night. That's why we can't let you go out there. No one has survived a night in the maze." My eyes widened at the word maze and he slapped his hand over his mouth as if he were about to puke.

"What-" I started to release my questions all at once, but he gave me a death glare, so I shut up. "Tomorrow's the tour, the celebration, and I will answer all your bloody questions. Now go to sleep ok?" I nodded and he slipped back into his hammock.

I walked over to mine, the noise of the walls now like a distant memory. I climbed in, and after a while of day dreaming, I fell asleep.

I was shaken awake by a hand clamped over my mouth, and my eyes flew open. Recognition dawned in my eyes and I relaxed, looking at newt standing above me. "Wake up Greenie. Time for your tour." I looked around to see all the other gladers asleep still, except a few waiting by the maze doors.

I swung my legs over the side and slipped on my shoes. Newt had already started walking, so I had to jog to catch up. It was barely light outside when we reached a wall with a circle cut out of it. It was misty and dirty, so I knew it was window. "Look out it." Newt commanded, and I did. What I saw shocked me. It was one of the most repulsive things I've ever seen. It was a giant blob of fat, green goo, with random metal parts stuck in it. While it was very gross, it also looked lethal and dangerous. The pieces of metal were really saws, and knives, spears and giant scissors waiting for its next victim. But the worst part was its tail. It was long, thick at the base and grew thinner as it went on, purely steel, and the tip was a razor sharp needle.

It was so fascinating to look at that I didn't want to move, but then realization froze me to the spot. This thing was right outside where we sleep. It could come in and kill us all. I slowly turned to look at newt, but I wasn't even that frightened. "We call em greevers. They only come out at night, and never in the day so your safe in here. Now follow me, I want to show you around before everyone wakes up."
