My heart is in a maze: A clique story based off of Maze Runner.
Chapter two
Blowing of the gates
"Come on Massie and Olivia, you girls are taking forever!" Claire howled with laughter towards her friends. The three girls were rushing through the bitter wind towards the lowest building on the island: the food court. "Besides, Chief Maple will not be happy about us being late, girly."
"What did I do to get sent here?" Massie asked aloud. As much as she hated to admit it, she was terrified.
"None of us know, we have all wondered the same thing, but now we are just waiting to see." Olivia didn't put much thought into her answer, concerning Massie to the point of asking no more questions.
"Besides, can't we just drink some water from the ocean and eat some small fish? Why do we have to rush to the stupid kitchen?" Massie groaned, glancing at the beautiful water, flowing all around her. She was beyond tempted to jump in, to run the water through her chestnut-brown hair and feel it lap against her sun-kissed skin. More than any of that though, she wanted to go home.
"Massie, the water is poisoned! That is why we haven't escaped and the fish are um… swallowed by the Tami's!" Claire gasped. She turned towards her twin, as if acting like it was the most shocking thing ever. Massie wanted to remind her new tour guide about how she was sort of the newbie. Instead she stopped, cutting in front of the twins to make them stop. Someone had to tell her what was going on.
"Tami?" Massie asked. Her amber eyes flickered as her friends' blue ones grew. She wanted to know what was going on: now.
"Yes the Tami's! They are evil little shark like things, well they have sort of are." Claire growled softly, not letting anyone hear. Her face had turned stone hard and her eyes clouded sadly. She glanced at her twin sister and pulled on her light gray dress. Her face instantly turned back to normal and her smile pulled up her face.
"Can I see one?" Massie asked, wondering why in the world everyone was acting so crazy. No one would tell her anything: not even why the fuck she was there.
"Mass, they will bite if you get within 100 yards of one! You can only see them in the really early morning, through the wooden docks windows. See every night the wooden docks come up like a square around us while the water rises, it keeps us safe." Olivia muttered slowly, they were now at the breakfast place and some big ass mansion.
"Oh," Massie inhaled sharply.
"That is why the boats come in every night," Claire grasped a rope and hung onto it, as it was yanked up.
"Oh," Massie did the same, trying to contain her smile. The island was surely beautiful.
"Well if you aren't going to say anything other than oh, you can at least hurry to see the gates closing." Olivia hushed to her friend.
"Hmm." Massie giggled, running as fast as she could to go outside the food place: to see the gates closing and so she could eat.
"Really Massie?" Olivia laughed trailing behind her as they ran on the cold surface of the red wood.
"Yep." Massie laughed: for the first time having fun.
The three girls all sat down on the brown deck of the biggest tree house (the food place and where Skye, the sick, and Kristen stayed) and glared at the beautiful see below their feet. Massie barely noticed the other girls joining, or the boats being pushed inside a fancy shed. Massie did notice, however, when all her friends and the people she had never seen before gripped hands.
Then something happened.
The decks were suddenly gone and the water was rising rapidly over the rain forest below. Massie was terrified of the 'Tami things' coming to attack her as she backed up before her friends laughed.
Steel hinges, that Massie had never seen before, came up and protected them if anyone tried to jump. The girls all stood up and walked slowly over to the diner as if nothing had ever happened. Massie glared down at the water twenty feet below her and swallowed: something was moving below her. "You must be the new girl!" Something grasped Massie behind her neck, pulling her up into the air. "Well I am Charlie, I am the leader here."
Massie glanced up to see a dark hair girl with dark hair and dark eyes staring at her, holding her tighter. "I thought Skye is the leader!" Massie growled.
"She is." Another voice snapped coming in and shoving Charlie to the other side of the deck. "I am Alicia, also known as Chief Maple, and I am so sorry!" Massie got up after her hard fall and looked at the older girl. The girl was super pretty with black, glossy hair and exotic features, standing next to a pink headed girl. "And this is Kayla, my mute sister." The pink haired girl smiled and glanced back at the ground, before the two walked away while Massie followed.
