The Maze Runner The Box Novels & Stories

There was a black colour sprayed on the top in weird shapes like some kind of hoodoo. I knelt down in front of the safe’s open door and looked inside. There was nothing in it except an old wooden box with a white signs drawn on it just like the ones sprayed on top of the safe. I took the box out and held it. I looked at Mia and her eyes were wide open and I think she wasn’t breathing either, her face was turning blue. I wobbled the box and a rattle sounded. “Did you see that box before?” I asked Mia, maybe she had seen it before, but the look on her face confirmed a big no.

“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.”

Tessa’s breathing grew uneven, but she stayed close. The tunnel widened into a chamber. The fragment drifted to the middle and stopped above a slab of stone. Beneath the water, something metallic gleamed faintly. The bronze box. Tessa gasped. “Zane… we found it.” “We did.” I scanned the room carefully. “Don’t touch it yet.” “Why not?” “Because nothing about this has been simple, and this won’t be either.” She nodded slowly, swallowing. I stepped forward, sword drawn, just in case. The box was half-submerged, wrapped in chains that looked old enough to crumble at a touch. When I crouched and reached for it—

“Fremtidens nøgle… Tiden vævet I træ… Skæbnesvanger arv… Magnus.” Her breath caught as realization washed over her. This box was a creation of her dear friend, Magnus, the very same Magnus she had vowed to avenge just hours ago. The implications were astounding. What message did he wish to convey from beyond the veil of death? With trembling hands, she turned her attention back to the keyhole, searching for the means to unlock the box. Her fingers brushed against a small, concealed latch, and as she pressed it, the box emitted a soft, ethereal glow. The intricate carvings began to shift and move, forming a pattern that resembled the constellation of Orion.

Logan muttered solemnly, his Adam's apple quivering nervously as he swallowed hard. With a sweet smile, Missy also bent down towards the gift, still confused as to why and what could be in such a big box. Gently, she undid the golden bow, removing the lid of the box, which immediately fell apart, opening the four parts one on each side, surprising her by revealing another box, a little smaller, but also beautifully decorated with ribbons and a bow. Laughing at that exploding box, Missy looked at him amusedly, opening that box more, laughing even harder when she found another one inside. And so, four more times, she found box after box, until finally she found a small box in the shape of a he

Brandon yelled. “Relax, Brandon. They want to know what’s going on so badly, let’s show them,” Alto said. Maverick stepped back and grabbed my arm. Alto ripped the box open. “This is the perfect test,” Alto grinned. He hurled the box to the ground. Over a dozen tubes were shattered or rolled everywhere. “No!” Brandon yelled. Maverick cupped a hand over my mouth and nose, but the bitter smell slithered down my throat, burning everything on its way down. Maverick carried me back into the building.

I answered for her. "All part of the plan, make them think they are invincible, then take them down when they least expect it," Maze said. We watched as the bounty hunter made his way toward his prey. He pushed his way through a mass of drug-filled dancers to get to the fat enforcer who was having the time of his life. Maze brought out a small walkie-talkie and spoke one word into it. "Now." The music changed into fast-paced electro dance music and the lights faded revealing the glowing walls of light. The dancing and jumping got faster and rougher, disorienting the bounty hunter.

I'm so nervous as I pull it open, that it takes a lot of will power not to pass out. The moment, I unwrap the box my voice gets trapped in my throat for a second. My brain freezes, and then it all happens in slow motion. The scream leaves my throat before I can stop it. Staggering back, I fall limply to the floor, my eyes not leaving the box which now lay on its side. Spilling out its hideous contents, Mira gasps, looking away immediately. But I can't, I'm unable to look away from it. Especially the bloody words engraved on it. 'I'll make sure your friend loses a finger more next time'
