Chapter 9

I was surrounded by flashes and glimpses of images of my whole life. Glimpse of Lissa and Adrian practicing and having fun. Dimitri and the way he looked directly into my eyes as he had instructed me, of him with the red eyes and scary long fangs. The fear I had felt then flashed though my body as I remembered how scared I was then. Mason popped up too, just before he had been killed by the Strigoi. The scream I heard sounded very distant as I re-lived his murder. I felt someone touch me as I struggled against the arms of whoever was holding me down.

He was strong but I was stronger and much more highly trained in getting out of holds.

"Rose! ROSE! ROSE! WAKE UP! Come on you can do it. Wake the shuck up!" I heard the voice speaking to me though the memories and the flashbacks.

Finally, I was pulled from the nightmarish state of living, Mason's dead eyes staring lifelessly haunted me again. Gasping for breath I looked around and realized that I was in the Homestead. Then it hit me, Dimitri was in the maze alone with the monsters that stung me. I shot into a sitting position and feel the dread and fear shoot though me.

"Dimitri? Where is Dimitri?" I very glared at the people in the room with me. When no one answered, I growled and gritted my teeth, "Where. Is. Dimitri?"

I turned to Adrian knowing he couldn't hold his own if I gave him the right look. Slowly I put on my best man-eater smile and softened my eyes, it worked. His resolve crumpled.

"He's…He's still out there. In the maze."

With that I took off, shoving everyone out of my way and busting through the door. Springing across the Glade I noticed that the sun was just coming up. How long had I been out? I shook my head, no time to think about that right now. I reached the gateway just as it opened for the day and took off down the path.

I heard a few people shouting for me to come back but I couldn't think of doing that with Dimitri out there by himself. When I got lost I came up with an idea, I would see if I could see where Dimitri is from Lissa, if she was in the control room. As I searched for a safe place to check on Lissa I heard a scream. A very familiar scream. Dimitri!

He was still alive and rather close from the sound of it. Looking around I saw that the vines on the wall went up high enough for me to climb up and get a good vantage point. Grabbing the closest vine, I started the dangerous trek up the wall. As I climbed I listened intently for any sound of Dimitri.

"Rose!" the voice startled me and almost made me fall.

I looked over my shoulder to see Minho and Thomas at the base of the wall watching me climb.

"What?" I very snarkly replied, "I have to find him. Best way to do that is with a good vantage point and that's what im getting. A vantage point."

"We know how to get to him. Ive run this maze every day since I got in here. I know the route to take to get him. It's a good distance but I'm fairly certain you can manage it."

Rolling my eyes, I reluctantly caved. "Fine. Catch me!" I let go of the vine and let myself fall backwards. Before I knew it I was in Thomas' arms.

"Ok, lead the way, ill be right on your tail." I said as I hopped out of Thomas' arms.

Minho took the lead, turning right then left then right again. Dimitri screamed again in agony. I froze. It seemed much further way. Listening intently, I waited for the next scream telling me where he was. Then I caught it. He sounded about half a mile away. Ignoring the guys, I took off, following my instincts that I knew would lead me to him. Within a few minutes I was rounding a corner and saw him.

My stomach lurched. He was bloody and torn up. One eye was completely shut and the other was half open. His right shoulder was ripped. I saw him about to try to move and I rushed to his side.

"Dimitri, shh, im here. Its ok. Look at me. It's going to be ok, I promise." I heard a gasp, turning ready to fight whoever was there, I saw Minho and Thomas.

"Don't just stand there, be useful, help me get him to the Glade." I barked. I needed Lissa to tell me it was gonna be ok, that he was going to live.

"Rose, look at me. ROSE! Calm down, when we get him to the Glade we will have Teressa and the Med-jacks take care of him."

Slowly, I nodded. Helping them get Dimitri onto the gurney they had fashioned out of vines and what looked like a sheet, I stood up and walked with them. The whole way there I never let go of his hand. After what seemed like four hours of walking we finally entered the Glade.

Adrian came over and gently lead me away so the med-jacks and Teressa could take care of him. I numbly sat with him, vaguely aware that he was trying to get me to talk to him. When I figured that no one was watching I darted to the Homestead. Quickly searching each room, I finally found him on the second floor. No one tried to stop me when I entered the room.

He laid there, unmoving and barely breathing. I felt my breath catch as I watched him. His chest barely rising with each breath. Furious and slightly depressed from his state, I left the room. I hurt me too much to see him in that state.

Once I was outside, I took off at a sprint round the Glade. Biding my time very carefully, I waited at the doorway that led into the maze. The timing had to be perfect. Someone called my name but I ignored them. I was doing this for Dimitri. I was going to show the bastards in the control room that I could control what happened to me.

Someone grabbed my arm and started dragging me away from the door. Then I saw it, the door was starting to close, it was time to go into the maze. Alone.

Whoever had my arm had a very harsh grip and no matter what I did I couldn't get out of it. Finally, I punched the person in the arm and flipped them onto their back, still closely watching the door. I just got free and took off at a sprint into the maze. I got through just in time to turn and see the person who had been trying to drag me away. It was Eddie.

Before I could change my mind, I turned back around and headed back into the guts of the maze.

Cliffhanger! I know you guys hate them but I promise that the next chapter is gonna be really good. Will someone else be coming into the maze? Will Dimitri die from the Grievers that attacked him? Stay tuned to find out.
