Chapter two
the maze runner
let's get into it
"Here" Gally throws me a shovel, "I want to be a runner" I tell him once again
"Astrid, it's dangerous" He tells me once again, "I don't care" I scoff
"Well you should, i'm not letting you be a runner until you're ready for it"
"Fine" I roll my eyes, throwing the shovel down and running over to the maze
"ASTRID WAIT!" Gally calls as he runs after me, as soon as i reach the maze i stop
"It's against the rules to go in there" He reminds me
"I know, i'm just looking" I step closer to the maze
"Don't go in, we have work to do, you need to go in the forest and get logs" He orders
"What forest?" I question
"Did you not listen when Alby explained it all to you?" He laughs at me
"That one" He points, i look to where he's pointing before walking over there
I enter the forest, talking to myself
"I mean i would be a great runner, why can't anyone see that"
"Even Gally"
"He knows i can, he just needs to follow the rules"
I stumble and fall, i look up to see a tree, that's been carved into a chair?
I run my hands along it before i notice what's at the bottom of it
Bones, specifically a rib cage
What the hell?
I kneel down and look at it closer
Yeah it's definitely a rib cage
I hear a twig snap, my head shoots up looking around as i stand up straight
I see a guy, hiding behind a tree
He walks out and i think his name is Ben or something?
"Ben is that you?" I walk closer, but then i notice what he looks like
There's blue veins going up his neck, his eyes are all bloodshot
He suddenly attacks me, he gets me to the ground hitting me, i already know this will bruise bad
If he doesn't kill me
"You did it! It's all your fault, i saw you!" He yells and then his hands wrap around my throat, i can't push him off
I tilt my head a tiny bit, my breath is getting cut off as his hands tighten around me
"Ben-" I manage to choke out, my eyes start watering, my vision starts to look like i'm looking through a fish lens
That's when i see a rock, i reach my hand over and grab it, barely reaching it, i lift it and smack it across Bens head, making him fall of me
