Bonjour Humans! How are you guys doing today on this beautiful planet? Before we begin I would like to thank Fish337 for favoriting my profile and my story, I am so happy I am doing so well on this website! Like I said in the last chapter, I'm still deciding what Lynn's tattoo should say in the Scorch Trials. So feel free to leave a comment on what it should say!
Audrey M: OOOOooooo, I like those. The Connector and The Survivor, good choices! I will have to put these on the list.
Leme: Oh, thank you! I hope you guys enjoy my writing, if there are any errors please let me know. Lynho is definitely my all time ship, since I created it! The Variable, I like it. I was thinking that when they get to the little safe house thing at the beginning of book two I should put Lynn back with Lily, Sonya, Harriet, and all the other group B girls. But, I'm still deciding on that one. That's so cool, I have viewers from Germany!
Anonymous: I am glad it is your favorite! I decided that both Thomas and Lynn would go into the Maze at the last minute. I was like, hmmmm lets make things a little bit more interesting. And then BAM! Lynn's in the maze with Thomas. As for all the other questions you'll just have to wait and see!
molliezoe21: That is a cute idea! I will have to think about it.
mxdnxghtlxve: I am sorry I left you with a cliff hanger Ilana, it just sorta happened...
On with the story!
Lynn and Thomas sat next to each other on the ground, still panting having just ran through the doors of the Maze. Both staring at the wall infront of them,
"Guys," Minho said, both Thomas and Lynn's heads snapped towards Minho. "If you two think that was brave comin' out here, listen up. You are both the shuckiest shuck-faced shuck there ever was. You're both as good as dead, just like us." Lynn glared at Minho, she stood up as Thomas began to speak,
"What do mean? I couldn't just sit there and leave you guys here. And it was just as much Lynn's decision as it was mine." Lynn ignored this and walked around the corner leaving the two to bicker to their heart's content. She spotted a wall with vines, her eyes fixated on the green plants that climbed up the wall. Maybe, they could put Alby up there. To keep him safe from the Grievers. Lynn only had to spend a night in the Maze two times, once when she didn't make it in time, and the other was when her and Sonya explored the Maze, Sonya was stung by a Griever and Lynn was stuck dragging her to the entrance but it was too late. Lynn made her way back to Minho, who currently had Thomas pressed up against the wall, Thomas's shirt bunched up in his hands.
"Hey!" The boys heads turned towards her, "C'mon I know what we can do with Alby!" Minho let go of Thomas' shirt, and he took Alby's legs while Thomas wrapped his arms around his chest. She motioned them to follow her, and she lead them to the wall with the vines. The trio began to wrap vines around Alby's ankles and wrists, they were able to hoist him up and they all pulled on a vine to bring him higher to the top. Alby was almost to the top when,
Whiiiiirrrr, Click Click, Whir, whirrrrrrrr
Lynn could here Minho start to panic behind her,
"We gotta go," He said, hurriedly. "We gotta go right now!" Before Lynn could open her mouth, Minho took of running in the opposite direction. Alby dropped a few feet as her and Thomas tried to hold the vine in place. Out of the corner of her eye, Lynn could see the Griever around the corner. She wanted to take off herself but, she couldn't just leave Thomas. They both slid to floor and were pressed themselves up against each other, trying to get as close to the wall as possible. The ivy hiding them, the Griever walked in their direction. Thomas and Lynn held their breath as the horrible creature walked past them.
click-click-click- whirrrrrrrrrr
Trying not to think about their death that would come if they so much as sneezed, Lynn shut her eyes. She could here the Griever pass them and turn down to the next corridor. They both let out a sigh of relief and stood back up. Thomas tied Alby off and they jogged down the hallway. Lynn heard a crack, she put a hand on Thomas shoulder which immediately stopped him. She turned to the right to see three Grievers standing completely still, watching them. She slowly turned to Thomas and whispered,
"Run,"
They ran, ran as fast as their legs could carry them. The Griever hot on their knew where she was going, the Maze would be shifting any moment now. They could run down a corridor that was closing and lose them. She kept track of the turns they were making.

She was about to make another turn, when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and tugged her into and pulled her into an adjoining hallway. She grabbed Thomas hand and tugged him with her. She crashed into the person's chest and looked up to see it was Minho.
"What-"
"Just follow me!" He intertwined their fingers and was pulling Lynn with him before she could even get her feet under her, with Thomas right beside Lynn. She quickly collected herself and the trio ran through more corridors, more turns. They kept running until they turned into, not another stone wall. They turned into blackness, Lynn let go of Minho's hand and they all walked out to the end of the corridor. When they were a few feet away from the end Minho held an arm out over Lynn and Thomas' chest to make sure that they stopped as well. The sounds of uncoming Grievers growing louder and louder by the second. Lynn looked up at the orange sky, morning was growing closer.
"I don't get it," Thomas whispered, looking around.
"Careful there Tommy," Lynn said, pulling him back by his shirt. "You wouldn't be the first stick to fall off the Cliff." she remembered the time she lost one of her Mappers over the Cliff a couple months ago.
"Listen you two," Minho said, "These things may be vicious, but they're dumb as dirt. Stand here, close to me, facing-"
Lynn and Thomas cut him off. "We know, we're ready." They all shuffled their feet and stood all bunched up together in the middle of the corridor. Grievers only seconds away. The only thing left for them was courage.
"We need to be in sync," Lynn yelled, almost drowned out by the sound of metal on metal. "On my mark," The two boys nodded. "Ready," She said steadily, as if she had done this many times before, which she has. "Not yet... Just hold on a second." Another ten seconds passed, "Now!" Just as a Griever's arm extended out to grab one of them, Minho, Lynn, and Thomas dived in opposite directions, Lynn and Minho to the left and Thomas to the right. The monster practically jumped off Cliff, Thomas looked at Lynn and Minho, they nodded at him and then turned. All of them ran at the Griever, and jumped feet first at the Greiver, punching out at the last second and sent the creature over the Cliff and barreling to its death. The three stood there for a second, absorbing what just happened. Finally, losing all of their strength at the same time, fell to the floor. She heard Thomas start to cry, Lynn rested her head on Minho's shoulder at let sleep consume her.

A half an hour later, Lynn lifted her droppy eyelids. Thomas' sobs had went down to a sniffle and Minho was staring off into space.
"I can't believe we're still alive," Thomas spoke quietly.
"I can," Lynn said, wincing slightly as she shifted her body. "I've done it before." Thomas' head snapped towards her.
"What?" He looked on at her as if she was crazy.
"I have survived two nights in the Maze, but I'd rather not get into it now. We have to go make sure Alby is alive." Her and Minho stood up,
"Wait, no way he's still alive." Minho said, his eyes darting between the two. "But how?" Thomas and Lynn quickly explained to him what they did. Minho's gaze drifted down,
"But know one has ever-" He trailed off, Thomas answered for him but Lynn zoned out as they began to slowly walk, the boys a few feet in front of Lynn. After an hour they spotted the open doors with probably the whole Glade standing in front of it. Lynn could hear her brothers voice saying, "Their not coming back Chuck," feet lightly pounded the ground. Lynn pushed past Thomas and Minho and walked with a slightly faster pace around the corner.
"Guys come back!" Chuck shouted, Newt immediately limped forward, and saw his sister.
"Lynn," he breathed out, she ran forward with tears in her eyes and enveloped her brother into a hug.
"Never scare me like that again," Lynn let out a small laugh.
"No promises Newt, No promises."
Lynn, Minho, and Thomas are back in the Glade! Yay! Remember to follow and favorite the story, I also love hearing your feedback so feel free to leave a comment! I will see you humans Thursday!
