Mac pov

That night I decided to skip sleeping altogether.

Something had caught her eye yesterday. It was in the corner of the glade, a tiny panel of glass, that was probably supposed to be hidden with the ivy.

Once I left the lawn area and stepped onto the hard gray stone of the courtyard floor, I broke into a run, heading for the western wall.

It was pitch dark out except for a few lit torches here and there. The sky was dotted with stars. They were such a beautiful sight, and made Mac feel more grounded to reality. Like there was still a whole world out there, beyond the stubborn maze.

I finally made made my way to the panel.

It was dusty and hard to see through.

But what she did she shocked the living shit out of her. A Jiant sluglike body, about the size of a cow. It had some kind of metal arms sticking out of it. The girl watched mesmerized as the creature sucked in metal arms, then shooting out new and more extremely lethal ones. Greivers looked like a giant slug thing and a Swiss Army knife had a child.

Oh my God...

It was one thing to be told about greivers, and another to see a living one in front of you. Staring at you on the other side of a peice of glass. Jumping at you, trying to kill you.

Mac for some reason did not shrink away from the glass when the greiver jumped at it.

She was either way dumb, or way brave.

But one the thing Mac new about herself was that she was tired.

Really tired.

Mac didn't fight it. She was starting to drift off, her last conscious thoughts about her awful life. At least she had freinds... and Newt. That boy was something. Mac drifted of for good this time, awaiting the horrible nightmares.

But none came, Mac realized, as her eyes opened.

Uhhh... I should've slept in the bed at the homestead, Mac thought, rubbing her sore and stiff muscles.

"Were have you been?" A voice said of to my right. My head snapped up at the noise to see a glader. This one wasn't familiar to the girl.

"Who are you?"

He completely ignored me, turned forwards the glade and shouted" GUYS! I FOUND HER!"

I quickly got up. Several boys came rushing up into the clearing." What's going on?" I asked to no one in particular.
