7. 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒
I woke up to the sound of the blades moving, I rubbed my eyes realizing I had somehow managed to sleep through the night without getting eaten alive. I stood up and brushed my shorts off before running through the blades.
I ran as fast as I could and turned down a few different hallways until I saw the opening.
I ran out into the glade when I started walking as my jaw clenched when I heard, " I'm telling you she's dead " Gally laughed to a group of guys. One of them was Newt who didn't even see me yet, " hey Gally! " I yelled when he turned around. I threw my fist straight at his face as hard as I could. He tumbled backwards.
" missed you to " I smiled as I stared at the boy that held his cheek, " how the hell did you manage to do that? " Gally started getting up as he groaned in pain. " it's called skills " I had my hands on my hips as I pointed back towards my crossed out name on the wall. " care to explain? " I tilted my head so slightly.
" wha- I would never " he breathed out in a sarcastic way as he glanced around at everyone, " okay look I underestimated you " he said in an apology kind of a tone. " no you wanted me dead Gally! " I yelled at him.
I turned to the side when I saw Teresa run over and throw her arms around me, " your okay " she mumbled as she held onto my body. I hugged her to as well, " yeah I am " I laughed a bit before pulling away from the girl.
" come on " She grabbed onto my wrist before looking back at the others, " what are you all staring at? I said come on! " she yelled at them when they all started rushing to follow her, " Alby is awake now " she smiled sweetly at me as I felt a warm spot in my heart light up, " I'm glad " I held onto the palm of her hand while walking.
——
I walked into the room last with everyone, " has he said anything? " Newt asked as I stared at the boy who hugged his chest staring the opposite way from everyone.
" Alby? " I moved swiftly around Newt and over to the guy who helped me out for the first time around here, " are you alright? " Newt had sat next to him as I plopped myself down on the other side of Alby, he looked scared like he had a hint of fear in his eyes when I sat next to him.
" Alby, are you okay? " I placed a hand on his shoulder when Thomas knelt down in front of him, "-..Alby, we might have just found a way out of the maze. " he looked at me, " we did " I smiled to him but he just looked back down at Thomas.
" you here us? " I spoke to him, " -..we could be getting out of here Alby! " I patted my legs a little bit to try and light up the mood, he only just kept the same stare he had the whole time. He shook his head as his eyes started watering, " we can't " his voice sort of cracked as he spoke.
"-..we can't leave " he said again as he gulped trying to hold back his own tears, " they won't let us " he said again when I got up and knelt down in front of him next to Thomas, " what are you talking about Alby? " I placed a hand on his knee.
" I remember " I saw a tear drop down his cheek as he said those words, I glanced at Frypan who looked at Gally exchanging looks with one another. " what is it that you remember Alby? " I softly spoke to him to try and stay calm.
" you " he said to Thomas when he fully managed to lock eyes with the boy, " woah woah, what do you mean 'you' " I stood up staring down at the two boys, " you were always their favourite Thomas, always " his voice continued to break.
I suddenly heard some talking outside and a bunch of yelling sounds, " guys, I think somethings wrong! " I glanced over to Gally when I noticed him looking a little nervous, that usually wasn't a good thing especially with Gally.
——
We ran outside I held onto the pockets of my Jean shorts as I fiddled with the zipper, I got really nervous when I saw everyone running to the entrance with torches. " what is happening! " I yelled as a boy ran over, " the doors, they aren't closing! " he yelled.
I started running towards the opening the moment I saw my friends running towards it, I slowed down as I stayed close to Teresa. I glanced at her with fear in her eyes as I held onto her hand, I circled the top of her hand with my thumb as I could tell she was afraid.
I knew something was wrong, extremely wrong and that this night is not gonna go well..
Chuck walked up close to me and I threw one of my arms around his shoulders, when suddenly the walls made a huge rumbling sound. " ah! " everyone yelled as we all ducked a little bit.
I suddenly heard the sound of something I didn't wanna hear, I turned my head as I saw another opening that had begun opening, I could feel my heart beating against my chest as if it was fighting to break free.
I pushed my hair back, I gulped as I felt a lump building up in my throat. I made eye contact with Newt as he shook his head, I felt fear I've never felt before building up in my body.
I jumped to the sound of walls rumbling again and looked to the side when I saw another opening, I looked back the other way and saw the last opening that began opening slowly.
" okay Chuck I want you to start heading to the council hall? Start barricading the doors " I heard Thomas whisper to Chuck as Newt told Winston to go with him, " Mavis, I think you should go with them to " Thomas nodded to me.
I gulped and nodded before rushing to the council hall with Chuck as quick as I could, I felt tears about to go down my cheeks when I suddenly heard the painful screaming. " Grievers! " " hide! " " run! " was all I heard.
We started collecting stuff to barricade when I looked back out the door, " Chuck stay here with Winston! Okay continue doing what Thomas asked us to do " I smiled sweetly at the boy when he quickly ran over to me, " no you need to stay here with me! " he sounded hurt.
" your not going out there right? " Winston walked over as he looked like he had a 'wth' face on, " I'll be okay, I promise " I planted a small kiss on the top of Chucks head before running out of the front door.
Part of me needed to find Teresa, while the other half was regretting my decisions I've made. I heard the scream of a person near by, " Mavis run! " I heard someone scream when suddenly they were dragged away by a griever.
" TERESA! " I screamed while running around looking for her, i felt my chest start to burn as I felt like I had completely lost her. The girl I wasn't even sure I even liked or not.
I quickly hid behind a tree when a griever flew right past me into the tall grass when I suddenly heard a loud scream beam through the grass, " Zart! " I heard someone yell, it sounded like Thomas but I wasn't so sure.
When I saw Zart get picked up by a griever I covered my mouth trying not to burst out screaming, I turned my head away hoping to not see anymore of what had happened to the boy.
" Help me! " I heard him scream for the last time, I looked over when I heard Thomas yell to get to the village and I saw Teresa with them, I started running after them.
" Mavis! " I heard Teresa calling out to me when she turned around and saw me, " Teresa! " I yelled as I threw my arms around the girl. I buried my face into her shoulder as I didn't wanna let go of the girl. " are you hurt? " I asked her as I pulled away she shook her head.
" Mavis where is Chuck? " Thomas tilted his head when I pointed back to the council hall.
Suddenly I felt my legs get grabbed, I got grabbed by a griever as I grabbed onto the grass. " MAVIS! " Teresa screamed at the top of her lungs as she grabbed onto my wrists, " help me! " I screamed as I held on as much as I could. Thomas ran over as he began pulling as well, Newt had started hitting at the griever.
" DONT LET HER GO! " Teresa screamed at the other boys that joined in on helping, I felt a sharp pain from the metal of the grievers claw. " I'm not gonna let go! " Teresa reassured me as I saw tears flowing down her face.
I felt like this was gonna be the end of me, so I decided to just say it to her. I did that thing I did earlier I rubbed the top of her hand with the tip of my thumb, " Hey Teresa.. " I mumbled as everyone kept trying to pull with their strength.
" Yes Mavis..? " she said under her breath as she was starting to lose grip on my wrists, " I love you, okay? " I swallowed my tears back as she re grabbed my wrists, " I'm not gonna let you go, okay Mavis? " "-..you take that back because I'm not gonna let you die on me alright? " I heard her voice crack as she spoke.
Suddenly Newt ran and grabbed a spear, he threw it at the grievers mouth which caused the Griever to scream in pain, but it also caused the griever to go flying back and lose grip of me causing me to go flying off and land somewhere in the tall grass, " MAEVE! " I heard Newts painful screams until I blacked out.
——
I woke up in the tall grass to Teresa crying over me and Thomas trying to comfort her but also trying to make sure I'm alright, Newt was holding the sides of my faces, " come on, there ya go your so strong! You can do this Maeve wake up! " he whisper yelled towards me.
My vision was blurry until it finally adjusted to the things around me, I stared up at Newt a smile forming on the boys face when he realized I was finally awake. " Omg, you're okay! " Newt rested my head against his chest when I fully sat up.
I felt a whole lot safer now, tears of joy were what filled my eyes when I looked at everyone while resting against Newt. " how am I not dead? " I asked sounding upset as everyone chuckled, " I question that to Mavis, all the time " Thomas joked which made me laugh a bit.
Suddenly Newt helped me up quickly looking around, " okay, we don't have much time " he helped me walk to the council hall. To where Alby was most likely still staying in, " is Alby okay? " I asked when Thomas looked over. " yeah he's okay " he nodded, " same old Mavis, even when she's hurt she makes sure everyone else is okay " Newt teased as I rolled my eyes a bit.
We walked past the fire that was still going as everyone was screaming and running, I glanced over and covered my mouth when I saw someone get dragged away. I looked back and my heart nearly skipped a beat when a griever was really close to us around the woods.
We said screw you to the whole going to the council plan and started running when Alby joined us, I was glad to see him again as we all just focused on getting to safety.
" in here! " someone yelled but about a few seconds later a griever jumped into the building completely destroying it, we all screamed as I fell onto the ground. I quickly tried backing away when the Griever started roaring into our faces.
Teresa ran over and grabbed a jar that was on fire, she threw it straight at the griever as the beat bursted up into flames. I held my chest relieved that I wasn't about to be grabbed again.
I felt Newts arm go around my shoulder again as he helped me up onto my feet, I felt a sore pain in my foot still from the griever holding onto me. " we're gonna get you somewhere, I promise alright look at me? " Newt whispered to me as I looked over at the boy, I could tell by the glint in his eyes he was telling the truth.
Continued limping as fast as I could as Newt kept looking behind us, the griever had gotten the fire off and had started rushing straight for us from behind. " no no no " Newt said under his breath I could tell he was getting anxious knowing I couldn't really run at the moment.
" Newt just go! " I threw Newt ahead of me as he stopped for a moment but I turned around and began limping away as the griever had jumped over me, " but Maeve! " he yelled but was grabbed by someone and continued going.
I managed to go and hide under a tree, I looked over when I saw someone get jumped on by a griever and then one of the grievers had gotten spikes thrown into their face.
I sighed of relief feeling happy that they were all gonna be okay, i saw Chuck waving for them inside of the council. So even tho I felt so much pain in my foot, I ran as fast as I can ignoring the shooting sharp pains that flew through my foot and into my body. I managed to get through the door before they closed it.
" Mavis.. " Teresa peeked around someone when she saw me sitting down on the ground in absolute pain from the running I went through, she walked over and sat on the ground holding me in her lap as she rested her chin on my head.
" you'll be okay.. I swear " she mumbled to me in my ear as I slightly closed my eyes feeling more tired then usual, i heard the screams of the grievers outside of the council.
But to be honest I was just so tired of running and having to fight for my survival, I didn't wanna move anymore. I felt safe in Teresa's arms and I just wanted it to stay that way forever.
