Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

I was waiting outside the maze for Minho to come and bring the supplies we'll need. I can't believe I'm going into the maze. This is so crazy.

"Alright, put this on." Minho told me when he got back.

"K." I said.

"Remember, keep up, don't look back, stay close, and never stop running." Minho said in a very serious tone.

"Got it." I said, a little creeped out.

"Good. Let's go." He said, as he ran into the maze, with me following closely behind.


It must have been about half an hour later, when I heard a clink! clink! clink! behind me.

"What was that?" I asked, a scared tone taking over my body.

"Not possible." Minho whispered, as he pulled me behind some vines.

"What?" I whispered back.

"Grievers are only supposed to come out during the day. Don't. Say. A. Word." He whispered in once again that serious tone.

And then I saw it. A horrible creature the Gladers talk about. It looked like a giant brain, with mechanical spider legs. You could see tons of needles attached to it. Touch one of them, I'm guessing you die. As soon as it turned the corner, Minho ran, completely forgetting about me. But he could not have been louder because as soon as I stepped out from the vines, the Griever was back, slime dripping from all over it. So I ran. Twists and turns and bends around every corner. The Grievers seemed to always be one step ahead of me. And then, there was a dead end. Well, I'm a goner. As I looked left, right, forward, back, trying to find an escape route, I saw a spear lying on the floor. What it was doing in the maze? I didn't know but I grabbed it.

As the Griever came around the corner, it stopped dead in it's tracks. It looked shocked. I guess no one's ever stood up to one before. But it didn't scare it off. Oh well. I guess I'll have to fight. First I charged at it's legs, because that's where the stingers are. I managed to get off three of it's legs but it still has five legs left. Alright, Nikki. You can do this. You have to. So I swung at it. The spear hit the Griever right in the eye and it collapsed to the ground. I dropped the spear. What just happened. Out of the corner of my eye I see Minho behind two walls closing in. He's screaming at me to run through them. Wait. Why is the maze changing? I start running. I can't let the doors close on me. I faintly hear what sounds like the Gladers yelling at me that I can do it. I can do it. I can.

I will.


NEWT POV

I heard Chuck yelling something I couldn't quite make out, so I went to see what was going on. Almost all the Gladers were outside the maze doors. I went to the front of the crowd and saw Minho, yelling at someone.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Nikki's tryna get through the walls. A Griever's chasing her." yelled Ben.

No.


Just as the walls were about to close completely, I made it through them. Yes! I did it! Then, as I tried to take a step, I fell to the ground. Minho tried to help me walk, but he couldn't walk either. As soon as we were past the actual maze doors, we both collapsed.

"Did you guys see a Griever?" Alby asked.

"Yeah. Nikki didn't just see one, she killed one."

Done. I forgot to put disclaimers, so I DO NOT OWN THE MAZE RUNNER.
