The Maze Runner The Box Novels & Stories

"No way! She's dangerous. I don't want you getting hurt again." Elaine sighed, exasperated. "It won't happen. She's had time to reflect. She knows she was wrong." Reluctantly, Yoel nodded. "Fine, but if she gives you any trouble, I swear I'll make her regret it." He shot the box a venomous look before storming out. I laughed, a bitter, hollow sound. Wasn't my death ugly enough already? Elaine approached the box, pinching her nose against the stench. When she lifted the lid, her eyes widened in shock, and she staggered back.

Maria took the magician’s magic box from her earring. It was not as what we had imagined—nothing like the large, imposing vampire’s magic box from last time. Instead, it was a delicate, small box radiating a strange and mysterious glow. We hadn't had the chance to closely examine the vampire’s magic box before; but now, with this magician’s magic box in Maria's hand, right before our eyes, its every detail unfolded clearly in our view.

Mas Suma's gave orders to him. Pak Sutar nodded and ordered to open the box, With alacrity, they immediately lowered the box. There are two boxes. Pretty big about one meter by one meter, The box had a door that was lapped from the side. The door opened slowly and we waited together to see what came out of there. "Mas, what is that!" I shouted in shock. I held Mas Suma's arm tightly. There was a small head sticking out of the box. Amelia hid behind her Daddy's body. Mas Suma also stared at the door of the box curiously. The little feet came out, and little by little the whole shape was seen.

I entered my bedroom and tossed Ryder in a small cage-like box, a cherry red seal shimmered off the iron bars that were only spaced not even four fingers apart. “This box can’t keep me in here!” I said as I placed my hands on the iron bars but was pushed back. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you old man” I said as I locked the gate to the cage. I can see the rage in Ryders wooden black eyes, he was pissed that I put him in his little time outbox - I bent down to Ryder’s eye level “you see that cage is a magic neutralizing box, the more magic you use to get out the potent the zapping will be.

I nodded to him and took a seat next to Katrina, putting my hand on her leg as they spoke. They were just going over the plan to retrieve the Box. Apparently, it was deep in the forest, in an extremely hidden place underneath multiple Spells. This sounded like quite the ordeal, and I had a feeling we were going to be out for a while. I was down for anything. The sooner we could get the Box to Ambrosia the sooner she could learn to harness her full powers. I had a bad feeling that Ambrosia was going to have to kill the Angels…

And then— She closed the lid. The sound was soft. Too soft. Amelia shifted slightly inside. “It’s dark,” she said quietly. “You’ll be fine,” Alora replied. Then— She pushed the box. Slowly. Carefully. Sliding it under the table. Hidden. Out of sight. A small smile appeared on her face. And then— She walked away. “Ready or not, here we come!” Rune shouted. The boys started searching. They found Alora first. It didn’t take long.

Security meets us downstairs, already on edge. "Delivery," one of them says. His face is pale. "No courier was seen. It was just… left on the step." A box sits on the marble floor, my pulse thuds in my ears. "Don't touch it yet," I warn. But Mira is already stepping closer. "Jackson," she murmurs. "It's addressed to me." Her name is written in thin, delicate ink on a small white tag, my blood chills. I lift the box carefully and shake it once, but there’s no noise.

“Did you order anything?” I frowned. “No.” “Could be from a supplier?” “Could be a bomb,” I muttered. The guys gathered around as I set the box on the table inside. Tank crossed his arms. “You want me to open it?” I shook my head. “If it’s from who I think it’s from, it’s meant for me.” I slid the lid open slowly. The hiss came first — soft, alive, coiled. Then I saw it. A cobra, black and glistening under the light, rising from the box with its hood spread wide. Its eyes locked on mine, unblinking.

I just don't know yet whether finding it will save me or finish what my first death started. The messenger just warned them that whatever is inside the blue box will destroy one of them. Aurora and Sebastian are about to race Damien, Vincent, and whoever else is watching to find it first, but the real question is no longer what the box contains. It is the question, which one of them will not survive, and the answer.

Yuki turned to look at the box in the center of the vault. The box was quite large and made from pure magisteel, a type of metal that increases its toughness and strength the more mana it absorbs. This particular box was overflowing with concentrated mana. “It’s kinda intimidating honestly.” Mira said under her breath but everyone was able to hear it. “What could the box be keeping inside it?” Lawen asked. “Only one way to find out.” Yuki said.
