SO I THOUGHT THAT NICK DESERVED A BETTER DEATH THAN BEING SLICED IN HALF! SO I CAME UP WITH A BETTER DEATH!

NICKS POV

"Where are Newt and Alby?" I asked Minho. Most of the Runners had come back already. It was getting late.

"Nope," said Minho. "Don't worry, they'll be back," he said, clapping my shoulder, then walking off.

I went over to the North Door. It was closest to the sectors that Newt and Alby were running today.

The sun was slipping farther towards the horizon.

Then, I saw them. My heart stopped.

Alby was dragging Newt, who's leg was covered in blood and had cuts and bruises everywhere else.

"Hurry!" I called.

They were making slow progress. They needed help. But the doors could close at any minute.

I squeezed my eyes shut and steeled myself. What kind of leader was I if I let two people die?

I sprinted in towards them, as fast as I possibly could.

"What are you doing?" called Alby, between heavy breaths.

"I'm helping!" I said, as I got to them. I grabbed Newts arm.

As we dragged him along, I wondered what happened to him.

No. ask questions later. I thought.

Suddenly, I heard Doors were closing.

"Nick! Go!" said Alby.

I didn't say anything. I pushed my body to the limit.

Twenty feet.

Fifteen feet.

We weren't going to make it. But still, I pushed on. Ten feet.

Five feet.

The doors were barely open now.

Come on. Come on.

I clenched my teeth, then pushed Alby and Newt through the doors, which were now only two feet away and about to shut.

I saw Newts shirt get caught between the doors, right before they closed. I heard Alby shout from the other side. At least they were safe.

I felt my heart speed up. I started breathing faster. A tear slipped down my cheek.

I'd heard the screams of the boys who'd been stuck in the Maze. I didn't wasn't to end up like them.

I blinked the tears away. The whirring of Grievers coming closer and closer to me sent chills down my spine.

I knew that they'd come for me. I was going to die.

I promised myself one thing. I wasn't going to scream when the Grievers came for me. I wasn't going to make a single sound.

xXx

ALBY'S POV

"We suffered the loss of our leader yesterday," I said to everyone in the Gathering Room. "He saved Newt and I, but now he's dead and that doesn't do us any good."

Everyone looked downcast and hollow. Even Gally. A few were crying.

"So, as second in command to Nick, I'm now leader, I guess. I'm going to make a new rule. No going into the Maze, unless you're a runner," I said.

Everyone nodded, solemnly.

"Okay, get back to work," I said, emotionless. I sighed and said to the fake sky, "At least you're out of here, Nick."

I'M VERY SORRY IF THAT WAS A STUPID ENDING BUT... YEAH... I MOST LIKELY WON'T BE ABLE TO UPDATE FOR A FEW DAYS BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING! ALSO, IF ANY OF YOU HAVE IDEAS THAT YOU WANT ME TO PUT IN THIS, JUST TELL ME SOMEHOW! REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
