Aris Jones Maze Runner Novels & Stories

They were hurt pretty badly because of Eros' torture but are now recovering. "Their names are Raven and Howel. Make sure to interrogate them separately and don't let them alone in one room," he explained to his right-hand man. If they are left alone, they might make up a story to fool them. Raven, the assassin who revealed his name and bowed down to Eros' wishes when they were in the arena because his brother, Howel, was stabbed and bleeding to death. He cared too much for his brother, making it his weakness.

"Second, you assumed I came here to negotiate." "What do you mean?" Zara pulled out her phone and said one word: "ARIA." Every light in the warehouse went out simultaneously. Emergency power kicked in three seconds later, but in those three seconds of total darkness, several things happened very quickly. The warehouse doors exploded inward as Adrian and Marcus entered in full wolf form. The guards' weapons malfunctioned as ARIA infiltrated their targeting systems. And Zara moved faster than any human could track, reaching her parents before Kyle could draw the sidearm hidden under his jacket.

"They’re at the primary hatch. They’re using thermal lances." "Then we move!" Aris lunged forward, grabbing Nikos by the shoulder. "Grab the drive, grab the pod’s core, and we run for the secondary tunnels. We can’t win this, not here, not now." Nikos shoved him away, his movement fueled by a terrifying, kinetic surge of adrenaline—or perhaps, something synthetic. "I cannot detach him. The interface is hard-wired into my spine. If you try to pull the leads, you won't just kill him, you’ll scramble my cortex. I am the relay, Aris. Understand?"

*Standard security AI pettiness. Lys’s HUD filled with faint, gray‑outlined cones indicating sensor arcs Aria had sniffed out from low‑level pings. She threaded them like a maze, handed up occasionally to hold the others back as a dormant camera woke, swept, and went dark again. “Feels like walking through someone else’s dream,” Rowan whispered. “Nightmare,” Imani said. They reached the first choke point—a narrower section with a burst water main and a brace of sagging pipes blocking half the passage.

At that moment, a series of beeps sounded ahead. Hayley's team had opened the Level Three gate. The moment it opened, they poured inside without hesitation. They didn't spare a single glance for the people behind them. Seeing this, Mason completely lost it. "You have to save me! I'm the Level Two manager at Ark One! You don't have to save those nobodies, but you have to save me!" In the darkness, a zombie lunged at him with its jaws wide. At the critical moment, Mason shoved the runner in front of him straight into the zombie again.

Jason stood up straight and grabbed her arm and led her through the door way like nothing ever happened. Amaris tried to look back at him, but her held her upper arm out and in front of him like he could not wait to get rid of this thing he disliked. Once inside the huge doors, Amaris could see that they led to an enormous underground cavern. There was a large staging area directly inside the doors, and then it opened out to another large arena, but this one held a maze of large hedges and vines. There were three sets of seating areas, one on either side and at the far end there was more seating with a raised box in the middle. Even from this distance, Amaris could tell that the vampires

“But I thought you didn’t want to be involved in the field?” “Yes, but just this once. That’s why I need your assistance.” Silence. Jason eventually nods, his shoulder starting to relax. “Very well.” He shifts his head toward one of the women in the room. She moves over to us at a snap of his fingers. She is petite but with a toned physique, and she’s wearing a short, black, shiny wig to hide her hair. “This is the Huntress, the one who spoke with you earlier,” he says. “Her name is Ari. She’s my sister.”

Aries's eyes open, and he gazes at me in wonder as I pour healing power into him, a light burns in between us, slowly getting bigger and brighter until we are all blinded by it, the light vanishes and shrouds us in complete darkness. The lights flicker back on, and everyone gasps. Aries is standing completely un-maimed, no longer needing his wheelchair. He looks at his hands and legs and back to me, “Mazy! I’m me again!” he pulls me into a hug, and he gasps, “Lox is back!” “He never left you,” I whisper, pulling back. “My gift to you, brother.” Suddenly I’m ripped from his arms, Alastair, and Sasha on either side of me, pinning me to the wall, “You will be my mate, Mazelina Reade.” Asim snar

Scarlett’s POV “Tasha! Channing! What do you have for us?” I call out to two of my trackers as I walk toward the pack land’s northern border. They had gone out, following the unknown scent that the warriors had picked up. Cayden, Bree, Jacob and I are on our way to meet them as they return home. They both shift from their wolves into their human forms as Jacob tosses them both a shirt and a pair of sweatpants. “Well,” Tasha says as she jumps into the sweatpants Jacob gave her, “it’s interesting.”

Anyone else would be just as curious. Arius ran down an alley, followed by Jaida and Mr. Owens. He was a lot faster than they were, but he was trying his best not to lose them. He quickly got to the intersection of the dark alleys, and the second he turned to the right, a fireball slammed into him, exploding against his shield.
