Alternate Glade
Emmett waited patiently with them, thinking. Suddenly, Paizlie came as a running figure in the distance. The Griever was following her, gaining speed.She screamed.
Bryant pulled out another arrow and shot it at the griever.Bridget didn't want to throw her knife since she knew once it left her hand it was gone. She knew she wouldn't be able to throw that far so she decided to wait.
All of the sudden, Paizlie dodged to the side and the Griever fell into the empty blackness of the cliff. She shockingly looked up from Emmett's arms at the falling blubbery beast.
"It worked! Nice job Emmett!" Bridget said.
Emmett acknowledged the thanks with a swift nod and looked at his wrist. "Hey, I lost my watch. Do you two know what time it is?"
Bridget glanced down at her watch. "1:00 We have a few hours left. Any ideas?"
Paizlie, who was sitting in the corner of the maze, spoke up. "I say we survive."Emmett grinned. "Agreed."
"Sounds good. Is there a plan for how we're going to do that? Or are we improvising?" Bridget said glancing around the maze.
"Isn't improvising what we do best?" Emmett said, winking in Paizlie's direction.
"Okay, so do we stay here or go back to the gate?" Bryant asked.
"Back to the gate. Run." Paizlie responded and her and Emmett broke out into a sprint.
Bridget and Bryant took off after them. "So what do you think our chances are of surviving the rest of the night?" Bridget asked in a low voice so Paizlie and Emmet couldn't hear.Bryant glanced at his watch. "Well the night is over half way over so I say we still have a pretty good chance."
((Wanna skip a few hours?))The two leaders sighed and leaned against the wall, motioning the greenies to do the same. "We have something to tell you."
(( Sure!! ))Bridget and Bryant leaned against the wall. "What?" Bridget asked.
Emmett gave Paizlie a nervous glance. "We didn't want to tell you before, but there's something special about you two."
Bridget looked at Bryant confused and then back at Emmett and Paizlie "Like what?" she asked thinking about the locket hidden under her shirt and the picture inside of it.
"Nobody has ever come out of the lift with another person. And....we've noticed some things. You two share some sort of bond. Explain?"
"Umm..." Bridget glanced at Bryant.Bryant nodded.
Bridget pulled out the locket and opened it up showing Paizlie and Emmet the picture of the two of them when they were little. "We don't remember anything we swear. We are just as puzzled as you."
The maze was enveloped with silence. Paizlie finally spoke up. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"We didn't really think it was important. It's not like it tells us anything about how to get out of here. The only thing it tells us is that we had a life before we got our memories erased and were put in this maze." Bridget said keeping her voice down.
"Well of course we had lives." Emmett suddenly chimed in, and he was slightly angry. "But those lives are over. You want to know what that life was like?!?!"Paizlie grabbed his arm, pleading with her eyes for him to calm down. He shook his head.
"It's awful. That's all I'm going to say. Shucking awful."
"Wait the life before we came to this maze was awful? I'm confused. If the life before we came to this maze was awful why do we want to leave and how do you remember that that life was awful?" Bryant asked.
"I don't want to leave." Emmett finally said. "We have it good."Paizlie frowned. "He saw things. In the changing. Em, it couldve been some hallucination that the creators are just testing us on."
"It's not like that, okay?!? It was real."
Paizlie looked down at her feet.
(( I'm back ))"What kind of things?" Bridget asked. She didn't really care if they were real or not. Maybe they would give them some sort of clue.
Emmett shook his head. "No."Paizlie shrugged at Bridget.
"Okay... " Bridget was a bit confused. "Well why do we run the maze looking for an escape if we don't want to escape?"
Paizlie responded before he could. "We do want to escape. Emmett's just a bit hesitant."
"Got it. So we either escape into some beautiful safe haven or if Emmett's visions were true its out of the frying pan into the fire. Right?" Bridget said. She could see Emmett's reasoning for not wanting to leave. At least here they had food and shelter if they left they wouldn't know what to expect.
Suddenly, Emmett's head shot up. He narrowed his eyes at Bridget. "Fire? What? How....how did you know about that?"
"What do you mean fire? I don't know anything!" Bridget exclaimed.
Paizlie glanced at Emmett worriedly. What was up with him? "Guys. Let's just....calm down. We'll take turns sleeping. I'll keep watch out first. Bridget, you want to be my watch partner?"
"Sure. Why not?" Bridget smiled.Bryant decided if the girls were going to keep watch he might as well take advantage and get some sleep. He sat down and leaned against the wall closing his eyes.
Emmett scooted away from Bryant and fell asleep in one of the maze corners.Paizlie returned the smile and started walking. "So, you two are siblings?"
"That's what I think, although I don't really have a way of knowing for sure." Bridget said walking next to Paizlie.
"Well you two could be twins. I'm not surprised if you are. But I guess we'll find out eventually." She sighed and kicked at a rock, her eyes only falling for a moment before becoming keen and aware again.
Bridget watched the rock fly across the ground. "Ya I guess we will."
Suddenly, the familiar piercing sound of rock grinding against rock rang out. Paizlie's eyes opened wide. "WE MADE IT!!"
"YES!!" Bridget shouted running over to Bryant and shaking him awake. "Bryant come on wake up!"Bryant opened his eyes. "What... What is going on?"
Bridget grabbed his arm and pulled him up. "We made it! The doors just opened. Come on!"
Emmett groggily opened his eyes. "We're....alive?"Paizlie excitedly nodded her head and grabbed his hand, pulling him out of the maze.
The entire glade was standing there when the doors opened, cheering for them.
Bridget and Bryant walked into the glade and looked at all the people cheering for them. They couldn't even name any of them. Bridget turned to Bryant "Well that was a fun evening. Let's see if we can't slip away and get some sleep." Bryant nodded.
Paizlie greeted a bunch of the gladers, smiling tiredly. Emmett stayed quiet. She noticed this and pulled him over to the Deadheads after all the commotion was over."What's wrong with you?!" Paizlie yelled at him.
He didn't look up.
She stood there, tapping her foot until he spoke up. "Paizlie, you wouldn't understand."
"Well sweetie, you might as well be dead if your bestest friend won't even understand." She said, voice simply oozing with sarcasm.
"Maybe.....," Emmett paused. "Maybe you're right."
She shook her head. "You don't mean that."
He sighed and slumped against a tombstone. Paizlie did the same.
"I'm sorry. I was being stupid....I'll just stop." He finally said.
She smiled and they mindlessly drew pictures in the dirt for a moment. A grin broke on Emmett's face.
"So...you like me? Like like me?" He raised his eyebrows and Paizlie laughed pushing him jokingly.
"Nah. That was my panic talking."
"So that kiss was simply....panic?" He nudged her.
"Shut up." That was Paizlie's response as she turned away so he wouldn't see her blush.
Bridget and Bryant snuck away to the spot where they had slept two nights ago and found their stuff. Bridget sat right down. "Well that was an exciting first day as a runner."Bryant sat down next to Bridget. "Tell me about it."
Bridget sighed "I wonder why Emmett reacted so weird when I said fire. It was just an expression. I think."
Bryant shrugged. "Probably something from his visions."
Bridget lay down. "Ya."
Bryant laid down and went to sleep.
They sat there for a few more silent moments. He cleared his throat."You wanna hear a secret, Paiz?"
She looked up at him with her big blue eyes.
"I like you, too." He smiled.
She opened her mouth to say something, but before she knew it, they were kissing again.
((Ahaha....sorry. I'm hopelessly romantic.))
(( Nice!! ))Bridget laid down but couldn't get to sleep even though she thought she couldn't run another foot with out passing out from exhaustion. She was to bust wondering what was going on. What they would find if they ever solved the maze and got out. If the maze was even solvable. There were just to many variables. And then there were her own personal worries. Who was she? Why did she have a picture of her and Bryant in her locket? Why had the people who had put her here aloud her to keep the locket? Was it important?
Bridget and Bryant ran back to the cliff wondering why they were going there until it hit them. They smiled. "Now if we can just make it there alive." Bridget said quiet enough that only Bryant would be able to hear.
