Aris Jones Maze Runner Novels & Stories

M. Wind howled like a grieving god. Below: the bunker. Built beneath the ruins of an old shepherd’s fortress. Camouflaged. Drenched in signal dampers. Powered by solar rotors and paranoia. Aria arrived with seven. Not an army. A crucifix. Vika, silent as a knife. Roji, with his drone swarm. Inez, loaded with magnesium grenades. Two twin snipers from Istanbul—code-named Ash and Echo (not the boy). A hacker known only as Juno, blacklisted in fifteen languages.

He followed Ragnar, closing the prison gate behind them, and together, they walked down the hallway to Ariel's room. Ariel had been pacing anxiously in her room, torn between calling Marvins and reaching out to George. Her phone remained clutched in her hand, teetering on the edge of a decision. Just as she contemplated her next move, the door burst open, and Ragnar and James entered. Lost in thought, Ariel didn't notice their arrival until Ragnar's voice rang out.

“I can’t move the Pack House closer, Young Luna.” I finished wrapping his middle and stood up. “I’ll carry him. I’ll keep him righted on my back. We run, and we do not stop.” “Bossy,” he sneered, but he nodded. My threat didn’t seem to have perturbed him, and I wondered at what the truth of it all was as I shifted and the man hoisted Ares onto my back. I snarled at him, for he did it with no gentleness. I used my nose to nudge Ares’s legs back into place, and felt his front slump down against me. It would be hard to run fast like this, but it was faster than waiting for him to wake up and walk.

Achilles POV They were waiting for us when we pulled in., standing at the entrance like lost puppies. Isaiah, arms crossed, his laptop bag slung over his shoulder like it was a weapon. Aries stood beside him, her purple eyes glowing as ever. her blonde was in a neat braid and colour slowly seeped into her skin. The little girl, the one I had promised to keep safepeeked from behind Aries’ leg, her eyes too wide, too old for her years.

Mister Dankworth sat beside Jonas and across Ariz. Ariz couldn't ignore the nagging feeling inside her chest. It was like if she stays a little longer with this man, she's not far from vanishing. "Is there something wrong miss Jones? You look pale." Jonas asked earning her a look from mister Dankworth. "I-It's nothing. Kind a hot in here don't you think? Um...shall we start?" Mister Dankworth nodded. She reached for her notepad and pen "I'm Ariz Jones. An investigator, I'll be hearing out your case. So..."

I nodded and he left. There were twelve names on the list. Three of which fought with us when we went up against Maverick. But there was one I was surprised to see. Mason. He was taken the same time Ares was. Ares told me about how he tried to keep her safe even while they were locked together. They gave each other hope and company. It’s weird he’d still want to be involved with any conflict. I know he’s been training with Carlton daily, but that doesn’t guarantee he won’t freeze up on the battlefield. Scares like that don’t just heal.

Mason grabbed her wrist. “You’re not surrendering.” She met his eyes. “Watch me.” The twin caught on immediately. “You’re baiting.” Ariana nodded once. “They want Asset Zero.” She looked at Mason. “You said you agreed to protect me.” His jaw tightened. “I did.” “Then trust me.” The countdown voice began. “Twenty.” The searchlights narrowed. Ariana stepped into the open. Hands raised. Mason’s breathing was uneven. “Nineteen.” The grid brushed her mind again.

The caller was actually Archie, one of her men. "Raven, we've confirmed her whereabouts and you won't believe this." Archie heaved a sigh from the other side. Mia was anxious a bit" what happened? Is she in some sort of trouble?" "She went to the Elite pack and from what we gathered, she's scheming her way to belong as one of them. You know she's very much powerful as a result of the so called three genes in her" "So that means she's going to give herself to make them stronger?"

The jaguar starts pacing up and down in front of us. Then it strikes towards Annabelle. She stands her ground, but Asher and Arizer get to the jaguar before it ever makes it to Annabelle. They hold it back while it is snarling and trying to get free. They are going to have to kill it, as horrible as it is, this jaguar is clearly the reason the floor is littered with these bones and won't stop until it is killed. Arizer clings on to the jaguar and somehow manages to climb up its back until he is wrapped around it's neck. Asher holds the jaguar down. Arizer snaps the jaguars neck and it falls to the floor with a huge thud.

The constant arguing of Josie having a gun on her person forced Dad to take such actions, even in the place where she was meant to be the safest, her home. Not only did Josie now have her wolf, but she was the best marksman I have ever come across, well, until Runa. “Where are we going?” Runa tries to back pedal a little as I type the passcode into the lock pad for the basement door, the door swinging open to reveal complete darkness. “The basement, I want to show you something.” I lean across the inner wall, turning the light
