The Scorch Trials: A Newt Fanfiction

9. Now Isn't The Time For Beauty Sleep

Newt P.O.V.

I looked at her. Her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes resting on her cheeks. She looked so peaceful.

"Beth," I asked and shook her gently. "Come on love, wake up."

She didn't move. People were rushing around me, but they were just blurs with muffed voices.

"Oh bloody hell," I gasped as my mind went to the worst.

Suddenly Brenda came into view. She yanked my head to face her.

"Lets go," she yelled. She seemed pale, but still determined.

I quickly snapped out of the trance I was in. I jumped up and pulled her into my arms. One under her knees and the other behind her shoulders, carefully adjusting her wounded shoulder.

We ran, following the two girls. I belive Sonya and Harriet were their names.

"Back up, Joe!" One of the girls said and a large truck backed out of the way so we could get through the tunnel.

We jumped into trucks and they sped off.

I kept her in my lap, cradling her. Scared to let her go.

Brenda sat beside us, putting pressure on the wound.

"Klunk," I mumbled as I looked how blood soaked her clothes were. She had lost to much blood.

Beth was short of breath and he chest fell and rose shallowly.

"She will be fine," Brenda said, but her shaking hands betrayed her.

"You doing alright?" I asked her. She was sweating now and her lips were turning a strange color.

I didn't want her to faint in a moment like this.

"I'm fine," she argued. "Just focus on her."

The drive seemed like it lasted to long. Every moment was precious time that Beths life was depending on.

"Can you go any faster," I asked and pulled her body closer to mine as we hit a bump.

"I'm going as fast as I can!"

Finally we pulled into camp. I didn't even bother looking around, I just followed Sonya as she led me to what I hoped was the doctor.

Brenda was following behind, but she seemed slower than usual.

"Mary!" Sonya yelled as we got closer to the tent.

"Oh dear," a older woman said when we entered a tent. "Lay her here."

I quickly did what she said and tried to control my breathing. Not only was I panicked, but I ran all the way here with her in my arms.

"Who are you?" The woman asked.

"I'm from WCKD," I uttered, to worried to really think about my answer. "I am with Thomas and the rest."

"Thomas?" Mary looked up, she looked to be shocked.

Suddenly Brenda fell to the floor beside us.

Mary rushed to her side and looked her over before gently pulling up her pant leg. A large bite mark was under it.

"Shit," she said. "Go get Thomas."

I froze, were we going to loose both sisters.

A dreadful feeling crept over me. One of uselessness and darkness. I knew that feeling all too well and my mind went back to the maze. Standing on the wall. My heart was beating faster just thinking about it.

"Go," Mary screeched and I ran out to get Thomas.

Everything seemed to be falling apart. Like sand between my fingers, I could do nothing it stop it.
