" your full of surprises aren't you? " Gally spoke as we all stood at the entrance of the maze, Me, Frypan, Teresa, Thomas, Chuck, Minho, and Newt. " you don't have to come with us but we are leaving " Thomas spoke still raising the spear up in the air.

" everyone else who wants to go with us, to be free! Nows your last chance! " I held a sharp dagger out towards Gally, " don't listen to her she's just trying to scare you! " Gally looked back at the others, " I'm not kidding Gally, I'm not trying to scare any of you! " I tilted my head making eye contact with everyone.

" you're already scared " Thomas joined in again, " alright I'm scared " Thomas looked over making eye contact as I looked back at Gally.

——

" good luck with the grievers " , after trying to convince Gally to come with us. More of the gladers decided to join us.

I ran through the maze Turner corners as I kept close to Minho's side, my heart raced as my hair blew in the wind. The green overgrown vines had seemed to grow even longer then last time.

Thomas led the way yelling different directions, that's when we finally ran past the big red 3 in zone three, " cmon guys! " I yelled to encourage everyone to keep up more as more gladers kept falling behind.

I guess being a girl with a lot of energy and used to running was a little too much for the gladers that never ran.

We all hid against the wall before Thomas peeked his head around, I noticed that look of fear as Thomas breathed in when he turned his head back around. A Griever indeed.

Chuck had been given the key by Minho as Teresa was pulling her hair back, " it's okay, just stick with me " She smiled. I tapped her on the shoulder quickly giving her a thumbs up as she did the same back to me, exchanging smiles.

After Thomas's little speech we all began running around the corner, I knew for a fact someone was gonna die. Someone for sure was gonna end up falling or getting crushed by a griever.

Screaming echoed as we all ran at the griever, weapons in the air. The griever growled making its way over to us, we all raised our spears, but that nearly knocked us all off the side. The griever still got up in more anger.

I stabbed it in the face, before the Griever roared in agony knocking me to the side as I felt my back falling backwards, I caught myself by grabbing onto the side of the stone. My feet dangling as I held on as best as I could.

I noticed someone get grabbed by the grievers tail, that's when Teresa stabbed the one arm off the griever and everything went downhill. I was still hanging off as the key went flying I tried to grab it but that almost ended in me falling.

" Mavis! " Chuck screamed running over, " get the key worry about me after! " I yelled finally pulling myself up, Chuck ran as fast as he could grabbing the key as I went with him. He hung down when he saw a griever climbing.

" oh no " Chuck mumbled as I grabbed onto his backpack as Teresa did the same when she noticed Chuck dangling head over heels almost, I ran back joining the others in pushing the griever off of the stone path.

It finally had fallen off, I smiled proud of us for possibly killing another griever. But my smile quickly faded away when I glanced over seeing a griever climbing up from each sides of the path where Teresa and Chuck were. " TERESA! " I screamed them as the two ran.

I turned around going with the two of them as I had my spear that had fallen on the ground clenched in my hands, the door rose as the other few doors behind did to. " go go go! " I yelled shoving them both into the doors as we ran to the circle.

Climbing into it we ran jumping up and down trying to find a way to open it, I kept my face forward refusing to look back as I could hear the painful screams and grabbing sounds.

The screen lit up in a red colour, numbers spinning around as I looked at Teresa. " code " I said she ran quickly to the door. " THOMAS! CODE 8 NUMBERS! " she yelled catching the boys attention rather quickly.

After receiving the whole code we finally escaped, leaving us all in pure darkness.

——

I stood against Newts shoulder as a light shined from another doorway, " you okay? " Newt asked as he obviously saw me hanging from almost death earlier, " surprisingly yes " I gasped.

Teresa and Chuck opened the door, as I began walking with the rest of the group. It ended up being a long hallway, the lights all turned on as if they sensed us being in the hallway.

" what is this place? " I whispered to Thomas and Minho, they both just shrugged looking as confused as I was, the walked down the hallway. Idk why but my gut was telling me a different story, an unsettling feeling.

" oh come on! " I complained a little, " we're just gonna trust some door that says exit? " I pointed up to the green exit sign above the door that Thomas began opening. " it's our way out Mavis " Teresa softly spoke.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw read body's everywhere, " what happened to them? " I looked in another room seeing more bodies. I entered the room with the others with more bodies everywhere, there were glass computers. Kind of what I remembered seeing.

I stood behind a chair at a computer screen looking up as I made eye contact with Teresa and then looking to the right making eye contact with Thomas, the same vision I had at WICKED.

Thomas pressed a red button before we all moved our eyes over to the big screen of a girl with a white coat called Doctor Ava Paige, she spoke about how if we saw the video, that means we have passed the maze runner trial. " trial " I mumbled feeling a little uneasy with the word.

——

I watched as people ran in with guns, shooting up the place killing the people that worked here. The people that were all laying on the ground right as we speak, and then Ava Paige shot herself. I flinched at the sudden bullet sound. But I didn't cry or anything, I was so numb from everything that's happened to me already.

I walked over seeing Ava Paige's body, I was so furious still, I felt numb. and wished I could have screamed at her before she shot herself, I wasn't sad she died or anything, I was glad almost.

A door suddenly opened right next to us, " our escape " I smiled looking at the others Teresa smiled wrapping her arms around me, " is it over? " Chuck asked, " she said we were important " Newt said looking still confused.

" well what are we supposed to do now? " I pushed my hair back pulling away from Teresa, " let's get out of here " Thomas's eyes watered as he stared at the girls body on the ground.

Right when we were so close to finally leaving a voice beamed from behind us, " no " a simple no was said when we all saw Gally standing behind us, I noticed the gun right away but ignored it.

" Gally? " Thomas spoke as he walked over, " don't, he's been stung " Teresa stopped him. " we can't leave! " Gally was crying. I've never seen Gally cry before especially like this.

" Gally we're out! We're free " I gestured with my hands hoping to calm the boy down but the gun shook more in his hand, " free? You think we're free out there " he sobbed through his words.

" no there's no escape from this place " he raised his gun pointing it at Thomas directly, he sobbed even more almost as if he was regretting his choices, " Gally listen to me " I softly spoke.

He turned his head back over to me again, " you're not thinking straight.. we gotta get you some help okay, you're gonna get better " my voice cracked as I spoke, I gulped feeling a lump in my throat, " you're not Gally.. so please " I felt tears forming on my eyes.

" okay.. listen we can help you Gally! " I nibbled my bottom lip my heart racing more and more, " just put down the gun.. " I breathed very fast as I tried to calm myself. I had a fear with guns usually, " I belong to the maze " he cried.

" just please Gally! Put down the gun! " I continued arguing with him, " we all do! " Gally's finger started moving to the trigger, " no! " Chuck yelled as he went in front of Thomas after two gun shots went off. One hitting Chuck. The other one hitting me..

——

I watched as Gally struggled to catch his breath after Minho's spear impaled him in the chest, falling to the ground dropping the gun next to him. " Thomas.. " Chuck spoke that's when he suddenly fell to the ground.

Shortly after I felt a really bad pain going through my chest, I looked at Newt quickly as he was staring down at Chuck as Thomas sobbed, " Mavis.. " Teresa spoke as I suddenly started falling down to the ground, " Maeve! " Newt yelled looking falling down next to me and quickly covering my chest.

" Maeve come on.. please you can't leave me! " Newt sobbed as he covered his mouth trying to hold back cry's, I reached my hand up as I sobbed knowing this was the end of me, " it's gonna be okay Newt.. " I softly spoke as I smiled.

" it's not.. it's not gonna be okay! " Newt continued holding against my chest, " Chuck.. " I spoke as I saw the boys eyes has closed, my little brother was dead in front of me.. and I never got to say goodbye to him, my angel brother.

" Teresa.. " I looked over at the girl who was sobbing as it was hard to breathe for her, " Mavis, I love you! You can't.. you just gotta keep fighting.. I can't loose you and Chuck! " Teresa sobbed as her voice cracked through cry's.

I smiled before slightly leaning up to the girl, she leaned down before I was able to lock lips with her, I pulled away after, " I'll always be with you.. okay.. promise me take care of everyone " I looked back at Newt as he looked so tired.

Before everyone else could say anything to me, I felt the whole world disappearing as it got dark for me... the world was no longer mine.
