My legs were burning like fire. The walls of the maze flew past me as we made one turn after another.
I looked back, only to see the massive metallic-like creature chasing after us.
"This way!" - Minho was the fastest of us. He knew the maze better than anyone and we followed his lead without hesitation.
Horrific screeches came from the griever behind me. I pushed my legs beyond their capability and ran even faster, tears filling the corners of my eyes.
It's gaining on me!... I can't keep up!
With every step it took, the Griever crept closer to me. Its warm, foul breath caressing my neck.
The distance separating me from Thomas and Minho grew wider as my legs slowly gave in.
"Come on! This way!!" - Minho's voice became faint, like he was yelling from another room.
My vision started to darken, and I felt my body getting more unsteady. A rock laid on the path in front of me, but I didn't notice it until it was too late.
I felt as my head slammed against the hard ground. The world around me spun as I laid on the cold stone. I turned over and found the Griever, now standing above me. Slime fell from its mouth, hitting the ground and my face.
None of my limbs would move. I was paralyzed by the creature before me. For what seemed like eternity, both me and the Griever looked at each other - Like it was just as paralyzed as I was. Yet when the moment had passed, a long, scorpion-like tail rose from its back.
Like a flash of light, the tail shot forward towards my chest. In that same second, my body came back to life. I threw myself to the side, avoiding the otherwise large rod from penetrating me.
At this point my every action was controlled by adrenalin.
Still laying on the ground, I reached out and ripped the rod off of the Grievers tail. The creature stepped back in pain, and I took that as my chance to get back up.
I pushed my body back on my feet, and without a moment's hesitation, ran up and stuck the rod into the Grievers' throat. No idea if it was dead or alive, I turned around and ran as far away as I could. Thomas and Minho were long gone and finding them weren't on my agenda at the moment.
I just had to get away from that thing.
