Chapter 5: The Maze

Chapter 5: The Maze

(Y/N’s Perspective)

“All right, but why would Alby go in the Maze? I mean, he’s not – He’s not a runner,” says Thomas who’s sitting down on a log not doing anything, next to chuck.

“Things are different now. Alby went to retrace Ben’s footsteps before sundown, Look, are you going to help?” Newt says referring to the tree stump that him and Zart are trying to cut down.

“So, he’s gonna go back to where Ben was just stung?” Thomas replied.

“Alby knows what he’s doing, All right. He knows better than any of us,” Newt said and went back to chopping the tree stump.

Thomas stops for a second and looks down at the ground. “What does that mean?”

I look over at Newt who I can tell is getting a bit agitated from all the questions from Thomas. All right, it’s like you’ve heard, yeah? Every month the box sends up a new arrival. But someone had to be first, right? Someone had to have spent a whole month in the Glade alone, and that was Alby. I mean it can’t have been easy. But when those other boys, and girl,” Newt says pointing towards me, which earned a small smile from me. “Started coming up, one after the other, he saw the truth. And he learned that the most important thing is that we all have each other, because we’re all in this together.”

The whole time Thomas keeps his eyes on Newt, concentrating on what he’s saying. Thomas thinks for a moment before getting up and going over to the tree stump to help Newt and Zart.

He starts chopping at the tree stump. “Yeah, there you go greenie,” Newt stated.

Thunder starts rumbling and as soon as I hear that I get up. “I’m going to get going now, see you guys later I guess,” I say.

Zart and Thomas utter a small bye to me. “All right, I’ll see you later,” Newt says with a look of what I think is a disappointment but I’m not entirely sure because I can never tell what he’s feeling.

“Yeah, I’m going to go too,” says Chuck as he gets up and we walk beside each other back to the Homestead.

(Third Person)

All the Gladers are in the homestead to avoid the rain and also waiting for Minho and Alby to return from the Maze.

“They should be back by now. What happens if they don’t make it?” Ask’s Thomas.

“They’re gonna make it,” Newt replies.

Thomas walks up to Newt. “And what happens if they don’t?” Thomas asks again.

“They’re gonna make it,” Newt says again to reassure him.

“They’re gonna make it,” Newt says again to reassure him.

Once the rain stops all the Gladers gather at the entrance of the Maze, still waiting for Minho and Alby to come back. Newt, Y/n, Thomas, Chuck, Gally and a few others are standing in the front while all the other Gladers are behind them. The doors to Maze start cracking signalling that the doors are about to close.

“Come on guys, can’t we send someone after them” Thomas asks and Gally replies. “That’s against the rules. Either they make it back or they don’t.”

“Can’t risk losing anyone else,” says Newt.

The wind from inside the Maze starts blowing in everyone’s faces and the doors start closing. Just before everyone loses hope Thomas spots Minho and Alby in the distance. “There!”

“Wait no somethings wrong,” Newt says once he realises that Alby is on top of Minhos back.

“Is he stung?” Y/N asks.

“COME ON MINHO YOU CAN DO IT!” Chuck yells to encourage him. All the other boys start yelling for Minho to come faster.

As the doors are quickly inching closer together, Minho puts Alby down and starts dragging him by his legs. “Minho, you gotta leave him!” Gally yells.

Minho is so far away, and walls are quickly closing. Before we knew it Thomas had quickly run in the Maze just before the walls shut. “Thomas, no!” Chuck yells.

The walls are fully shut with Thomas, Minho, and Alby inside. All the Gladers on the outside are standing there in shock.

“Why did he do that?” Y/N asks in a panic and looks frantically between the Gladers. No one answers.

Y/N starts walking towards the Med-Hut very fast before Newt starts calling out to her. “Hey! Y/N, come back!”

Newt catches up to her. “Hey, where are you going?” Y/N continues speed walking away and replies. “Back to work.”

Newt grabs her arm to stop her from walking away any further. “Stop walking, let’s just stop and breathe. It’s fine.”

“No, it’s not fine! There stuck out there for the night. You said it yourself! No one has ever survived a night in the maze! I think we both know what this means,” Y/N says.

Newt stands there and looks down at his feet not knowing how to reply because she’s right. They’re probably not going to survive.

“We’ll talk later, I just need to be alone right now,” Y/N says before walking back to the Med-Hut. Newt watches her walk away before deciding to go back to her.

Leave it to a character going against all of their loved ones for a cause they genuinely believe in and think is the right thing to do, not seeing any other way to accomplish their goals, only to sacrifice themselves before things got better to make me inconsolable for weeks on end.
