Whirlwind | The Maze Runner- Newt

Thomas And Minho-The Maze Interior Designers

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

ADELAIDE

"Wow! Look at you guys redecorating the Maze." I give the boys a smug smile. Minho and Thomas, panting, walk further into the Glade from the Maze.

 I was completing my own run till the black-hole thingy when a whole lot of grinding and crashing notice began in the Maze. It was coming from everywhere. And I couldn't see anything our of the ordinary happening for a while, before each of the walls just started to move.

I had rushed through the walls, faster than ever, avoiding to get smashed by the moving walls.

The walls were changing, and that too, in the middle of the day.

I  had run forward not even daring to look back as one of the walls nearly crushed me. Fear had gripped my heart as I almost stumbled, but I had managed to keep my balance as I ran closer to the Glade. I jumped into the Glade and crashed onto the floor, calming my racing heart and clutching my paining legs.

Knowing very well that Minho and Thomas were behind it, I decided to wait for them to come back as I could hear the walls still moving.

 Newt was beside me, chewing on his bottom lip nervously and looking straight ahead the corridors of the Maze, awaiting their return.

"There was a tunnel like place. Maybe an exit." Thomas says, as Minho takes huge gulp of water.

My steps falter.

Exit?!

A way out?!

"Are you...sure ?" I ask. I force my heart, not to celebrate yet, for I can't tolerate rejection and disappointment anymore.

"Yes, Ally-Dally!" Minho smile, "Pack your bags, we are going out!"

Newt, hurriedly speaks to us. "But you can't tell them to go to the Griever. Who will agree?"

"We have to. Look, we got a way out. That's what we all wanted, isn't it?" Thomas pleads, looking at Newt.

I want to go out. I want to. I want to go and destroy those who put us in here. I have to avenge my mommy. And myself too.

I can't forget the doctor, can I?

And Chuck, I have to take him home.

"I always knew, this boy wanted to kill us. First he brakes the rules and now he wants us to abandon them all together." Gally yells, storming closer to Thomas. I roll my eyes, getting hugely irritated with Gally's banter.

He is in love with rules. He should marry them.

He should think, "Yay! We are going home!"
