The Maze Runner Novels & Stories

She didn't say anything else after that. Joyce curled up in my arms as Mom and I grabbed our guns and headed to the second floor to shoot the unwelcome visitors down. Meanwhile, Emmett guarded the door on the first floor. The gate fell open with a loud crash, and chaotic footsteps stormed into the yard. It didn't take long for someone to step on the nails scattered all over the place. They howled in pain. The noise attracted the roaming zombies, who flooded in and surrounded the group. Several seconds later, all that was left was the sound of the zombies groaning and blood on the ground.

She glanced over it and moved to the second one. It had a bunch of figures written down. Why would she have needed uber or to have more internet? Didn't she have a vehicle? She'd been in a car accident where she'd been driving. She was really confused now. She flipped through that book, too. At the end of it, she saw what looked like a code. What did that go to? A password maybe? Did she have a password on her phone? She decided to put everything back and lay down. She was actually tired. She'd just take a quick nap. She didn't even realize she had fallen asleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oscar's eyes scanned the cramped, dingy room. Flickering fluorescent lights overhead cast eerie shadows on peeling walls. He sat on a worn couch, clutching the remote control, his gaze fixed on the outdated TV. Breaking News banners appeared on the screen: "Monroe Empire Chairperson Kidnappe "Storage Room Ablaze" Panic-stricken news anchors spoke in hushed tones, "We've just received the word...," one began, her words faltering. "Lyra Monroe, the first female Chairperson of Monroe's empire... trapped on an inferno....chances of survival are slim to none."

I cut his word and pull out the earpiece, " Your earpiece. I found it. You are pretty clumsy ha? Lucas. Why? Did Eddie contaminate you? HAHAHA! Do you think I'm just gonna let you go? I want a share of fun you know. Maybe tried the moves I did in practice." He didn't even respond to me but instead, he run as fast as he can to the exit. Knowing that I run after him but then stop halfway and just walk. Remembering that they're basically outnumbered here I can take my time in going after him. To get out he has to go through lots of turns and lots of fights as people will keep approaching him. This place belongs to our gang and it's designed to imitate a maze. It's created with the concept of a

One of the kids at the orphanage screamed and ran away from Mia when he saw the glowing necklace on her neck. Mia looked confused as she looked around to check if the boy had seen a ghost or a wild animal but she didn't see any. "Look there it is glowing" the boy pointed at Mia's neck as he held one of the Lady that worked at the orphanage in the wrist. She looked very confused because she didn't see anything. "I have work to do so don't stress me out. That's Mia, she's weird I know but she isn't glowing" the lady went back inside, the kid followed her looking very frightened. Mia was so confused as to what just happened

AVA Without another word, Hunter moves swiftly away from the lockers, passing by his two friends whose names I'm guessing are Preston and Gomorey. They had been gawking at Hunter with a mischievous grin playing on their lips, and Hunter didn't waste a chance to shoot them both with his penetrating glare. I noticed their pupils retrench as they stared at him, meaning they were conversing with each other through mindlink. It was brief, lasting a couple of seconds before Hunter turns left and straight down the now-empty halls.

Running as if it was nothing, every leaf I stepped into flied creating a small artificial fall. The moon was hiding behind thick clouds as stars are nowhere to be seen. Why am I even running? That is also a thing I am not sure of. A runaway bride or Luna is something I am more familiar with. That thing happened countless of times already. In my tribe, some even says it as joke. A thrill of chasing to make every mate’s bond stronger. How funny, this may be the first ever occurrence of an Alpha, running away in his own wedding.

Then I remembered where I was - The tournament. It was the Maze of Runes. "Move!" Cael shouted. The rest of the team moved forward immediately. We started running. I followed them deeper into the maze while Jessie ran beside me. Her breathing was uneven from the sprint, but her eyes were shining with excitement. "That was insane," she said. I shook my head "I wasn't even sure it would work." "But it did." I glanced back briefly. The first chamber was already sealing itself behind us. The massive stone door slowly closed with a loud sound that echoed throughout the maze. I noticed as silver symbols rearranged themselves across the surface then they vanished completely.

A massive board stood cloaked in enchanted fabric. “And now,” he said, “the purpose of your presence here: the Tournament Trials.” With a wave of his hand, the veil dropped. Four glowing categories emerged, etched in gold script across black stone: Combat Trials Strategy Challenges Tracking & Territory Exercises Alliance Building Events Gasps and murmurs rippled through the courtyard. But beneath the categories, in smaller, silver script, the most important words shimmered: Crafted to Build Connection. Designed to Reveal True Mates. Jade’s stomach tightened.

“What is it?” She looked at him. “A maze.” Kai groaned loudly. “Of course it is.” The wall suddenly split open. A dark corridor stretched ahead. Covered in rust. Dripping water. Low whispers echoed from inside. Tess grabbed Lena. “I don’t want to go.” Lena looked at her. “We don’t have a choice.” The white screen flashed above them. COMPLETE THE MAZE OR REMAIN BURIED Noah looked offended. “That feels unnecessarily aggressive.”
