Percy's PoV

"Percy !" Someone yelled.

I don't answer. I no longer have the strength to move.

"Bêêêê Percy, can you hear me ?" Ask the voice.

Wait what ?
I misunderstood or this person start his sentence with a cry of goat ?

"PERCY THERE ARE BLUE COOKIES TO EAT"

I opened my eyes immediately. I can't resist cookies.

"Where ?" I ask

"You took a long time to answer !"

I look at him. He seems familiar to me, he is young, not very tall, he has horns on his head and he has goat legs...
What, horns and goat legs ?!

"Thanks to the gods, the bond of empaty is still active" he say with relief.

"Sorry but who are you ?"
I know I must have known this guy, but I don't remember. Damn amnesia.

"Perce, it's me, Grover ! You don't recognize me ?"

"I have lost my memories, so I don't remember anything." I said.

He looks at me resolutely, as if this situation had already happened.

"It's not good at all... Two of the seven who disappear, it's not good..."

The seven ?

"Listen carefully Percy. There is not much time left before you wake up. Where are you ?"

"I don't know, it is a place nammed the "Glade" in a labyrinth, but I know nothing more"

He began to talk to himself
"The labyrinth ? No it's impossible, this place has been destroyed... Maybe another labyrinth ?"

He turn to me " Do not move from where you are, teams are looking for you."
His voice became distant, as if he was walking away.

"Who are the two who disappeared ?" I ask.

He look at me sadly
"You and... Annabeth"

Annabeth.

This name tells me something. It's like a part of me has just woken up.

I was going to ask him more when I saw him go away like a dream that is dissipating.

"Please Perce, stay alive and don't do anything stupid !
I can't bear to lose my best friend !" He yelled.

And I woke up. More lost than ever.
And whithout cookies.

I look around me. I am in a room, and a young blond man stands back to me.
I try to get up, but I fail to fall, and the boy turns to me.

"Hi Percy. How are you ?"

"Very good, thanks." I answer.
"What has happened ?"

"You slept for two days."

"Two days ?!"
He nodded

How it's possible ? I have slept for two days ?

I see in his eyes that something is bothering him

"What happen Newt ?" I ask him.

"Nothing, you need to rest." He answer.

"Newt, I just slept two days. I don't need to rest. So please, tell me what is the problem." I said

He look at me dead in the eye
"I don't understand what happened two days ago. How did you do that, how did you manage to repel this thing in the maze with just a stick ?"

A stick.
He said stick, not sword.
Why ?

"Wait, what did you... " I started asking, but a panicked voice cut me off

"NEWT ! NEWT !"

VLAAAM !

Just when we turned to the door, we saw the boy who was screaming entering on the frame of the door.
He gets up as if nothing had happened.
We approach him while he takes a noisy breath.

"Newt,it's....it's...Al......byandMinhotheydidnotrerurn!"

Newt raised his hand
"Calm down, I don't understand anything !"

"It's Alby and Minho!" He repeated more slowly

"Where are they ?" Worried Newt

"They are always in the maze and the doors will close in 4 minutes "

Newt gives me a look and rushes to the exit, and I run behind him.

"I knew there was something weird" said newt, but i'm not sure if he was addressing me or himself.

"What was weird?" I ask him

"Minho found a griever dead in the maze yesterday, it never happened before, so Alby want to see this and they go to the maze this morning."

"What is a griever ?" I asked him

"The worst thing you can imagine. Pray never to see it."

We arrive at the gates where Gladers are gathered, and we makes our way to see the inside of the maze.

And we see them. Minho drags an alby who seems unconscious on the ground and is injured himself.
The ground started to shake and a strong breath of wind coming from inside made us take a few steps back, before the walls started to move.
Minho falls to the ground but gets up and starts dragging alby, but we can see that it is impossible that they arrive before closing, they are too far.

The Gladers scream for encouragement, but Minho falls to the ground again and this time he doesn't get up.

The wall is only 6 meters from the closure. 5 meters. 4 meters.

Without thinking, I rush and land on the other side of the wall just before the doors are closed.
And I hear the sound of the door closing behind me.

Without a glance towards the door, I run to minho and alby to see how they are.
I put my fingers on Alby's neck. Heartbeat. He's alive.
During this time, Minho sat against the wall.

"Well done guys, you just signed your death warrant." He said.

Guys ?

I look behind me and I see a boy with brown hair, of an average size and having to be in the 16 years.

"Percy, Thomas , Thomas, Percy" Minho introduced us.
"Two nebbies arriving to save me. I am reassured." he said sarcastically

"We came to help you, you could be a little more grateful"
With incredible speed and strength for someone in his condition, minho grabs Thomas by the collar and blocks him against the wall.

"AND WHY SHOULD I BE GRATEFUL TO YOU HUH ? TO COME AND DIE WITH US ? Because you guys don't understand, we're dead !" he shouted before releasing thomas and dropping to the ground.
"But thanks anyway, punk" he said

"There is bound to be something to do !", I intervene

"No. No one has ever survived a night in the labyrinth, ever. All we can do is run and hope to survive as long as possible."

Suddenly a terrible cry was heard, and Minho got up.

"They are the ones, they are coming! Run without stopping!" And on these words, he started to run.

I look at Thomas.
"What do we do for alby ?" I asked. "We can't leave him like that !"

"I think I have an idea." He answered.
