The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Novels & Stories

“I’ll look into how to negotiate with the Elders. Those trials aren’t safe, they could put your life at risk.” “What exactly are these trials?” I asked, dreading the answer. Malcolm’s grip on my hand tightened. “The ancient Luna trials consist of three phases. First, the Trial of Wisdom … you’d have to solve complex pack disputes and ancient riddles that test your judgment. Second, the Trial of Strength physical challenges including combat against trained warriors and surviving alone in the wilderness for three days.” My stomach dropped. “And the third?” “The Trial of Sacrifice,” his voice was barely audible. “You’d have to prove your loyalty to the pack by… well, by putting the pack’s needs

Two months later, his friends asked again, "Tristan, how long has it been since Esther contacted you?" Tristan froze, unable to respond. It had been a while since Esther had reached out to him. The home that had once been theirs felt empty without her. It was just cold brick walls now and could no longer be called a home. "This isn't right. Esther's always been soft and gentle, but now she's acting so decisively." At that moment, Tristan's friend, Jordan Fletcher, hesitated before saying, "Tristan, I heard Esther's with the heir of the Russell family in Straburgh."

He replied, as he had crawled and took the blade to his blood-covered hand. A sneer then coveted the greater portion of Ramsy's expression. "Have at it, Higgins, I beseech you." He said, as he stared down the chaotic scene that he concluded one human could have wrought. "You're the only one now that can find how to deify me." He concluded, as his gaze froze. It had melted as he finally scaled the climb of stairs that paved his way out of the dungeon. The scout's hands quaked as they clenched unto each other, ready yet reluctant to lead the blade between them through the inquisitor.

Third through eighth were claimed by Kael Morn, Andor Vesk, Taren Wolfson, Lysander Cobb, and Rothen Vale, their names stacked in descending order beneath Rowan’s. I stared at the board longer than I should have, the weight of every name pressing down on me. These weren’t scores of strength. They were judgments. And these scores was going to make this more deadly than it already was. “The forest is not empty,” Kaelen continued. “Predators roam freely. Some are natural. Some are not. There are limited supplies around the forest if you survive long enough to find it.” “With that,” Kaelen concluded, “the trial begins.”

The Labyrinth – Exit Cave Tunnel– Night The labyrinth shook beneath their feet as they ran, the ancient structure groaning like a dying beast. Rocks tumbled from above, and walls split open in bursts of sand and dust. Each step was a gamble—loose rubble, hidden crevices, sudden collapses threatening to swallow them whole. Their torches cut narrow cones of light through the pitch-black tunnel, flickering wildly with every tremor. Boots scraped against damp stone as they dodged debris, breath ragged with fear and adrenaline. Ahead, the faint sound of dripping echoed through the corridor—slow, deliberate, like the cavern itself was counting down to its last breath. They halted at a crossroads i

Our task: reach the summit before sunset while carrying supplies, signaling our progress to the observers. The maze was treacherous. Sharp rocks, sudden drops, and narrow ledges forced every step to be precise. Daren slipped once, and instinctively, I reached for him, steadying him while keeping our momentum. Liora’s eyes were fixed on a distant marker, calculating the shortest route while avoiding traps. The bond pulsed, guiding my focus, alerting me to subtle shifts in the terrain and the presence of hidden dangers.

This maze is alive, and it will try to trap you.” A sense of dread settled in my chest. The thought of being trapped in this place forever was terrifying, but I pushed the fear aside. I had to focus.
