Capítulo 27: Fall
POV Gregory:
The man rushes me and knocks my spear to the side. I dodge the incoming stab from the stinger, before thrusting my spear at him, He backs off.
*pssssssss*
His spear whistles as it flies through the air, it nicks my side. He follows up with a barrage of stabs with the stinger, each one coming so close to getting me.
"ARHG!"
Frustrated, The man tackles me to the ground before I'm able to react, he uses his hands that are bigger than my head and chokes me. One of them was covered in an unknown liquid.
'I need to breathe!'
I tried batting at him with my arms, but it didn't do anything, so I bit his thumb as hard as I could, the taste of blood filled my mouth.
*Crack*
"AHHHH, you fucking little shit!"
I thrust my knee straight into his balls, he went to protect them which allowed me to get up.
*Cough* *Cough* *Thtwooo* "Made me lose my last baby tooth."
I wipe the blood off my mouth and pick up his spear, before javelin it straight at the man.
*Psssssssss*
The man narrowly escaped the deadly projectile by rolling, I followed up with a stab with my spear. The man, not being able to avoid, could only block, so he extended his arm. My spear penetrated through the palm of his hand and continued to travel through his arm to his shoulder.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
A blood-curdling scream escaped the man's mouth, I tried to pull my spear back but it was stuck, so I backed off. The man stood, one arm forced to stay straight from the wooden spear, the other holding a stinger, and me now without a weapon.
"I'll fucking kill you, Gregory, for all the pain you have made me suffer, I'll kill you."
The man ran at me, stinger over his head, ready to strike me down. I dodge, he strikes again, I dodge, over and over he tries to stab me, but I dodge every blow.
I wasn't able to strike back, I had no weapon, so all I could do was dodge and hope a miracle happens, or I will eventually be stabbed.
*Swish*
Another blow was dodged, it was getting increasingly hard to dodge them, and I think I was at the end of my rope. The stinger went straight at my head, I was in a terrible position from the last dodge, this strike would hit me.
I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to hit me… there was no pain, I opened my eyes to see the man struggling to get up, he had lost an excessive amount of blood over the fight, and it had finally caught up to him.
Seizing my opportunity I grab the stinger from his hand and stick it straight through his temple, instantly killing him.
Exhaustion overflowed me, I had won. I look around me to the sight of everyone looking at me atop the dead body of the yet-to-be-identified man, though now that I think about it, it was probably the newbie.
Some of them had looks of disgust, some frightened, but most were shocked. My legs protested as I stood, I flicked my sweat-covered hair back, and my eyes burned as some of the sweat went into my eyes. I looked up at the sun.
'I had just killed another person…'
I close my eyes and soak in that feeling, the feeling of killing someone, it wasn't a bad feeling, nor was it good, actually it wasn't a feeling at all, it was just…
"Nothing…I feel nothing…"
I was expecting to feel guilt, sadness, remorse, heck even happiness. But no… I felt nothing.
*Sigh*
I slowly walked, ignoring all the looks I was receiving. I could only think of how comfy my bed would be. Nobody tried to help me, or say anything, they all just stared.
I fell onto the bed and instantly fell asleep, unconcerned about anything anymore.
—Later that day—
*Knock-Knock-Knock*
The sound of someone knocking on the door awoke me from my slumber.
"Who is it?"
"It's me Albe."
"Ok, I'll be right there!"
I give a little stretch before opening the door.
*Pishuuu*
A strong force appeared on the side of my face, and then everything went black.
I slowly gained consciousness as I was being dragged by the nape of my shirt, one of Carlos's goons dragged me. My hands were tightly tied behind my back, and so were my legs.
"Uggg, what's happening?"
Looking around me I saw all of the Gladers standing and looking at me with contempt.
"By unanimous vote, we have decided to banish you into the maze!"
Albe announced, I was shocked, for all the help I have given him, for all the work I did to help these people escape this maze, this is how they repay me.
"What are you talking about? What vote? And why, I didn't do anything."
I was again punched in the face by the good dragging me.
"Shut up you piece of shit, you just killed a person and think you did nothing wrong, also don't try that childish acting bullshit, we all know you're faking."
I turn to Albe desperate.
"What is this Albe? Did you betray me?"
Albe walked up to me and bent down and slid something into my pocket, before whispering in my ear.
"Sorry in advance for this."
Albe stood and kicked me across the face.
"Send him into the maze!"
They threw me into the maze just as the doors were shutting, I rolled on the hard pavement. Then the doors closed, locking me in the maze.
"Ah, shit!"
I rummage with my tied hands for what Albe put into my pocket and it was a knife! The sound of the knife-on-rope action was only accompanied by my whimpers.
*Rip*
I got out after a while of struggling. With my hands finally free I cut the rope around my legs, and as soon as I got fully free I booked it.
'I can't stay at the door and wait for my death, I have to be moving. I don't know how good the Grievers are at sensing people, so it's better not to chance it.'
'Out of all the people in the maze, I'm the most likely person to survive, also the newbie survived here for over a year, he must have gotten lucky by finding a safe place to hide. If I find that place then I will survive, if not… I don't want to think about it.'
*Ka-Ka-Ke-Ke*
I turn around to the horrifying sight of a monster with a stinger longer than his body slowly approaching me like a cat sneaking up on mice.
"Shit!"
And just like a mouse, I scurried away. Every night the maze changes and a new section out of 8 opens up, today section 5 is open, and tomorrow section 8, the sequence goes, 72465831 So I plan to run to section 8.
*Sh-Ting*
The stinger shot past me as I turned the corner, and the stinger stuck into the wall.
"Come on legs! Go faster!"
Section 7 was ahead, so close to section 8. Behind me, the Griever slammed into the wall unable to stop its momentum, dust scattered everywhere.
"Screeeeee!"
The Griever climbed up the wall, stinger hanging low inches above the ground. Section 7 was open, it shouldn't be but it was, without questioning it I rushed into section 7.
'Section 7? This is good, the top portion of section 7 is a very winding and small place. Maybe I can lose it there.'
I took a sharp left and started climbing up some vines, this was the way to the top portion. The Griever shrieked as it chased after me, the sound of its legs clanging on the concrete frightened me.
Once I got to the top I was greeted by the narrow halls of this portion of the maze, the Griever would barely fit through here.
I turned left, then right in quick succession, making the griever guess which way I went every time.
"Did I lose it?"
I'm in a high portion of the maze, to my left was no wall but a cliff that if I fell might kill me, but even though I was high up it was nowhere near the height the top of the walls reached.
I backed off from the cliff. I don't know why but I was deftly afraid of it, so I put my back to the wall as far from the cliff as possible.
The Griever was nowhere to be seen, I must have lost it. I get a quick sigh of relief, but that was before…
*Ka-Ke-Ke-Ke*
…DESPAIR
The creature dropped on me from above, and I jumped away trying to dodge, and successfully did, but my vision slowly went below the edge of the cliff.
I had fallen off the cliff, An immediate feeling of intense fear, anxiety, and panic set it. This cliff was scarier to me than the Griever.
And mid-fall, I fainted…
