The next morning, the Glade was buzzing. Alarm bells from the runners echoed as doors clanged open. Minho was already at the gate, stretching, muttering something about “greenies getting in the way again.” I tightened my pack, double-checked my knife, and ran a hand through my hair.16Please respect copyright.PENANAO9wZfhlJHk
“Hey short stuff" Minho’s voice carried over the crowd. “You ready?”16Please respect copyright.PENANAKiK44fGZC8
“Always,” I said, and his grin was wild—half warning, half pride.16Please respect copyright.PENANAG63iFHef0g
Chuck appeared at my side, holding my hand like he was afraid I’d vanish into the walls. “Don’t go too far,” he said, voice trembling. “Promise me.”16Please respect copyright.PENANA1UNC3yQfFo
I crouched down, looking him in the eye. “I promise, little man. I’ll be back. I’ve got you, okay? I could never miss telling you a bedtime story."16Please respect copyright.PENANAudgiUvBV5s
He nodded, though his lip trembled. My heart clenched. He didn’t have to be a part of this, but somehow he was. Somehow I had made him my little brother figure.16Please respect copyright.PENANAyP8NzB5bFd
With that me and Minho ran into the maze. Today is very very hot. But still Minho and I will have to keep running mapping the maze in our heads. Then going back to the glade to go to the map room and start building the mapping we did in our heads.16Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ4a4fZLMa
Hours and hours go by. Me and Minho sit on the maze floors eating our lunch. Sometimes we lose track of time. After we finish eating we get back up and start running the maze where we can.
When me and Minho realize that the doors will shut soon. By the time we are almost to the glade. We see Newt, chuck, frypan, frypan, and Alby all by the doors screaming "COME ON RUN!" me and minho just make it.
