The journey into the Maze made Piper's adrenaline pump as hard as it could, her heart beating fast. The tension and excitement was filling the air as they ran faster, getting deeper in the Maze. Lillie gave Piper a calm expression as they got to Section Three. Once they got to Section Seven, everyone slowed down their pace.

"Okay, everyone, we're almost there," Rachel told them. Everyone got up against a wall, creeping cautiously at the next corner. Rachel peaked over and let out a gasp, taking a deep breath afterwards. "It's a Griever."

"We figured," Maeve replied. "Here, take this, Piper." She handed her the object from her first trip inside the Maze, our key to getting out of here.

Piper nodded her head, then tossed her sword to Aris, who swiftly caught it. "Looks like you'll need it more than I do."

Rachel took a deep breath. "Okay, once we're through, it will activate, and the door will open. We stay together, got it? We stick together, we get through this. We get out now or we die trying." The look of determination was now all over everyone's faces. "Ready?"

"Hell yeah, we are," Harriet replied.

Rachel gripped her spear tighter. "Let's go!" With that, she cut the corner, followed by the rest of the group.

Everyone yelled as loud as they could, charging after the Griever. Rachel and Maeve were able to stick it with their spears, almost pushing it to the edge of the cliff. Everyone took their spears and began to shove it over the edge.

"Come on, push it!" Sonya yelled.

The spikes from the Griever came swinging at them. They all dodged and ducked at every swing it had. Finally, the creature managed to knock Helen off, resulting in her flying in the air and falling to her death. Aris took the sword and hit a spike, but the key flew right out of Piper's hands.

"Damn!" she cursed, running after the key before it fell over the cliff.

"Watch the edge, Piper!" Maeve shouted my way.

"I got it!" she assured her, sliding on the stone. Piper grabbed the key just before it got too far away from me. Now, she was hanging over the edge. She tried to pull herself back up, but she was struggling to do that with no hands. Then, she heard a snarling not too far from her. Looking down, she screamed at the sight of the Griever crawling up the wall. "Shit! Someone, pull me up!"

Piper felt two hands grab her shirt, yanking her up, and she saw that it was Lillie. "Be careful next time, will you?"

"I'll try," Piper said, panting and giving her a teasing smile. "But I can't make any promises."

They watched as the others managed to push down the Griever, letting it fall into the black abyss. Then, once the Griever was gone, its friends decided to show up behind them.

"Run!" Lillie shrieked, grabbing Piper's hand and dashing back toward the others. "There's more of them!"

"Go, you two! We can handle them!" Rachel shouted.

Piper and Lillie ran past everyone and toward the dead end. The key began to beep, many doors opening up.

"It worked!" Piper exclaimed, looking back at the Glenners fighting off the Grievers. "It worked!" she repeated.

"Go!" Rachel yelled, motioning them to keep going.

Piper and Lillie did as they were told, running toward the hole, ending at a sealed door. "Damn!" Lillie cursed, trying to find some kind of handle or opening. "We did not come this far just to find a sticking dead end!"

As the two kept looking for some kind of entrance to the other side, the others kept moving backwards, the Grievers trapping them. Piper was beginning to panic a little, attempting to see an entrance, looking more closely. Then, she was blinded by a red light with numbers flashing at me. "What the hell?" she muttered. She turned around, facing the others. "Rachel! There's some kind of code with eight numbers!"

She looked confused, then widened her eyes in realization. "Maeve! What's the sequence?"

"What?" she shouted back.

"The Sections of the Maze! What's the sequence?"

Maeve yelled some numbers, in which Piper tried to make out what Maeve was saying, but it was so loud that she couldn't understand her.

"Wait, what was the first number again? I can't hear you!" She replied again, but it was still not loud enough for me to comprehend. "Three? Is that what you said?" When she still sounded muffled with her next response, Piper looked at Lillie. "What did she say?"

Lillie rolled her eyes and ran back out, pulling out a piece of paper and a pencil from her pocket. "Okay, Mae, say it!"

"Who carries pencil and paper with them?!" Piper called out

Lillie ignored her, listening to Maeve saying the numbers. However, before she could finish the sequence, a Griever fell down on top of her.

"Mae!" Lillie shouted.

Maeve grunted, using the spear to push the Griever off of her, but she had no luck with it. Then, a Builder and a Cutter came to her aid, sacrificing themselves to the Grievers, letting them get devoured while Maeve scrambled to get away from them.

"Okay, the sequence!" Rachel yelled, getting everyone inside the hole. "Put it in, Maeve!"

While Rachel, Sonya, Harriet, Aris, and the others used their spears to prevent the Grievers from coming in, Maeve rushed to the front, studying the numbers.

"Hurry up!" Sonya shouted.

"Don't rush me!" she shouted back, entering the numbers carefully. "Three...Eight...Four...Six...Two...Five...One...Seven! Got it!"

The doors began to close on the Grievers. One by one, the Grievers were being smashed, their guts spilling all over the place. Before the last one could attack them, Harriet took her spear and threw it, hitting the Griever straight on, resulting in it being smashed by the door.

Everyone let out sighs of relief, their fear and worries finally gone. They panted, trying to regain their breaths after the long fight we put up with.

"Well, that was fun," Piper blurted out, making the others let out a few chuckles.

Suddenly, the doors closed, leaving all of them in the dark.
