Homestead Maze Runner Novels & Stories

"And the maze is designed to break whatever is left of your sanity. The corridors span miles. There are traps. There are echoes of your past. And there are no clocks. You could be down here for days. There is a bottle of water and three protein bars in the chest in front of you. You will hunt each other in the dark until one of you stops breathing. Welcome to the Abyss." The PA system clicked off. It left behind a heavy, crushing silence, broken only by the distant, rhythmic dripping of water. I stood alone in the pool of light. I was bleeding, barefoot, and stripped of the intoxicating power I had held in the Conservatory. I was at the bottom of the world, hunted by a lethal operative in a

They staggered on. *** The safehouse was a barn in name and a bunker in function—an old Nightmoor structure on the edge of allied land, reinforced with Lunaris wards and rogue tunnels. To outside eyes, it was a crumbling outbuilding used to store tools and hay; to those in the know, it was a fallback point for times exactly like this. The door creaked as they shoved through, the dark interior smelling of old wood, dust, and fresh ward‑ink. Inside, Mae and two healers were already setting up a makeshift triage—cots unfurled, kits open, bowls of water glowing faintly with Lunaris light.

Roman asks Indigo as he gets out of the car to help her out after him. It has potential and could be worth the buy if we planned it out right, we could almost turn it into a small ass town… a town of mafia people… Ha. “We could build our house right here in the front as the main house on the property, with a two story basement, we can have the cells built on the very bottom and the maze on top of it so that if anyone dared to try and escape they’d end up trapped in the maze. A separate entrance could be build for o let us to use as private access to the cells and maze.” Roman is so hypes he’s like a kid in a toy store and I know it’s what’s going to make Indi say yes to this whole idea.

Whenever he looked at me like that, I felt nothing but goosebumps all over my skin, and my body was suddenly warmer than usual. “If you’re sure, we can start. There are water bottles all over the maze, so you don’t have to worry about being dehydrated. I’ll give you a twenty-minute head start because I am a very fast runner, and I will catch you if it’s less than that. All you need to focus on is getting to the end of the maze.” I agreed. I stood there to catch a deep breath and to decipher whether it was a good idea to play games with a monster, but I ultimately decided it was worth a shot. What was the worst that could happen anyway?

The message read: DO NOT LET THE CRYSTAL TOUCH THE WATER. Silence. Then another line. THE MONSTER WILL FEEL IT. Thomas immediately gripped the crystal tighter. Then Henry pushed the boat. The vessel slid forward. Into a hidden tunnel beneath the lighthouse. Into darkness. Then the tunnel opened. And suddenly— they were on the ocean. The real ocean. The raging ocean. The storm immediately attacked them. Waves. Rain. Wind. Everything. Yet somehow— the Night Runner kept moving. Smoothly. Almost effortlessly. Like the sea welcomed it.

“On your mark, get set... enter!” Kit didn’t have time to think about anything else as she shot off into the maze as quick as she could go. She was wearing sensible shoes for once in her life. They were boots with a small heel on them which should help her if she encountered any mud, though she noted as soon as she entered the maze that the groundskeepers had done their best to dry out the ground within the walls of the labyrinth. She was running on a bed of wood chips. A sharp cedar odor hit her nostrils, and she hoped she didn’t start to sneeze. There was a chance she may need to hide at some point, and sneezing wouldn’t do.

"That part's easy. There's only one building in the entire place that requires security clearance, so that's where he'll be." "And if you're wrong?" "We're not." "Just say we all manage to get in and find Nick. How will we all get back out again? It's not like we can walk out the only door with a Taken." "I think Ronnie's planning on using the underground evacuation tunnels." "But the UV lights will kill us!" The evacuation tunnels were the only other way in or out of Quanu, or any of the cities besides the single entry and exit gate. The maze of shoulder high glowing tubes could be accessed through the basement of any government building before joining up to one exit point.

Oh my, I'm in the rogues'. I began moving back, step by step. Then I suddenly turned and ran. Running through the woods, back from the direction I was coming. Running as fast as my leg could carry me. I went left this time around. My legs and arms started to throb, I did not stop running through the thorn woods. I just need to get away from here. The trees tearing my fur, I could care less. The only thing screaming in my head is survival. I don't wanna die yet. Scratch what I said earlier about dying.

Max said, “And we will wait until back up gets here. You, Kit, and the Kids will have Mitsuhide right there to watch over you all.” “What about you?” Deanna asked. “I will wait where you can see me but keeping an eye on the area.” Max said as he looked down to her as they neared the entrance of the Maze. Deanna took a deep breath and let it out as she took one step into it. She started down the paths and they could see how this would be a perfect place for another secret area. As soon as you get past the hedges on either side it was like sound wasn’t there. It would be easy to slip in to the maze and disappear. Despite what she had said neither of the men could see over the hedges either.

"He came to town a year before graduation and he never spoke to anyone, dude's always worn a hoodie or a baseball cap it was as if he was trying to hide" "Baseball cap" Kim said trying to think, then the memory came rushing back to her in waves but she still wasn't sure. "Did he by any chance win the math competition by coming in first place?". Delighted Mika clapped her hands together drawing a few curious glance to them. "Yes! And you came in second place, you should have seen your face that day normally you always came first but that year was the first time someone beat you to it".
