The girl from the scorch

4

Just like I told them, they didn't scream but the looks on some of their faces were priceless. I glanced over to Mollie who was standing in front of the drop and saw as she tried to cover a laugh of her own, not succeeding very well.

I quickly grab the longest pole I could find and make my way over to the group looking for who would be easiest to get down first. I notice that the girl appears to be closest to the front so I reach the pole over for her to grab and pull her up onto the floor then proceeding to untie the rope from her feet. Just like me, she goes over to grab a pole and help the next person.

Whilst the girl is helping the bow with brown hair, I've pulled Newt over the the edge about to help him untie the rope when Mollie runs over to us.

"I hear people" she slightly whispers to me which makes me realise that I don't have much time to get all these people free. Apparently Newt heard too as he then says,

"Go pull the others over, we can get the ropes off ourselves for now. Quick!"

I realise he is right and it's probably the quickest option. The girl also seems to have heard and moves away from the brown haired boy who then starts to untie himself. Moving away from Newt, I notice how Mollie is still with him as he unties the rope with her 'help'. Next I go for Minho who quickly grabs onto the pole and starts to untie himself the second he is on the floor. I spare a glance over in Newts direction to see he is slowly standing up smiling at Mollie before going to get a pole and help get the others down. Soon enough everyone is on their feet or standing up to leave. That's when disaster struck.

Light surrounded the building and a voice could be heard on a load speaker.

"This is the world in catastrophe killzone department, you find yourself, through no fault of your own, in possession of WICKED property!"

"Shit."

I looked over to all the boys worried faces as they look back at me, clearly also not knowing what to do. I hadn't really thought this far ahead, my plan was just to get them down and untie them.

"Well what now?" Minho asks, looking at me for an answer, one I clearly couldn't give him.

"Crap, I don't know. My plan only went as far as to get you down"

"Wow what a smart plan. Get us free but have no escape route" The boy with brown hair says, obviously frustrated at me for not thinking this far ahead.

"Thomas calm down. At least we're not strung up to the bloody ceiling now, she was just trying to help" Newt says clearly defending me. Thomas, that's another name to remember. Newt, Minho and Thomas.

"Ok just ... just follow me"

We turn to leave only to be met by one of Jorge's men who was holding a gun in our direction. Barkley. He was never much of a nice person and seeing him have a gun pointed at us sent a shiver down my spine.

"Hey look we're not trying to cause any trouble we just ... we need to get out of here." Thomas says, clearly trying to reason with him.

"Is that so? ... Janson, I've got them, I'm bringing them down now, don't shoot us."

I quickly glance over to where I last say Mollie only to see her being pulled by Newt behind his back. A small smile makes its way onto my lips as I see him protecting her but the thought quickly leaves my head as fast as it came and my attention goes back to Barkley. I slowly make my way back so I'm next to them as Thomas slowly inches forward trying to make an attempt to stop him.

He pushes the gun in a different direction as Barkley shoots. However, unluckily for me, Thomas unknowingly points it in my direction. BANG!

Suddenly pain explodes through my left upper arm. It's not unbearable but it still hurts like hell. My other arm quickly shoots up to the bullet wound trying to stop the bleeding which seems to work for the moment.

"You little bastard" Barkley yells at Thomas, both seemingly unaware of the facts I've just been shot.

At the same time, I feel a someone pulling me back by my waist. I quickly turn around to be met with Newts worried face as he starts to take off the scarf he had still around his neck somehow.

"Shuck Y/n! Are you ok? Does it hurt? Stupid question of course it bloody hurts, you've just been shot" He says so fast I barely catch much of what was said. However it brings a smile to my face and I let out a small laugh making his face change from concern to confusion as he starts to wraps the scarf around my arm.

"I'm fi-" I go to say but I'm cut off by another gunshot causing me to jump and look towards the rest of the group making sure no one else is hurt. Surprisingly no one is. That's when I see Barkley fall limp to the ground and Brenda standing behind him, gun in hand.

"Let's go!" She yells out to us. I look back towards Newt who seems to be paying no attention and wrapping my arm with his scarf to stop the bleeding.

"Come one!" Brenda yells again when no one followed her. This seemed to get everyone back into focus as the all followed behind her as she ran out the room. I too grab Mollies hand whilst throwing Newt a smile to say thanks as we make our way forwards with the group. It's quite difficult trying to help Mollie keep up with us but I never let go of her hand so she is being pulled by me quite a bit.

Finally we approach a zip wire on the top floor of the building where we meet up with Jorge again. He gives me a wink when he sees me only for his gaze to fall to my arm and his face contorts in worry but I throw him a smile telling him I'm fine. He gives me a quick nod before turning back to the rest of the group.

"You kids wanna get to the right arm? I'll take you,but you're gonna owe me". As he says this he pulls down a pole on the zip wire and lets it carry him to the next building.

"Ok come on let's go!" Brenda yells at everyone pulling another rope down. Minho is next to go and grabs the rope, running off the floor of the building, letting the rope carry him to the next side.

"Ok Aris go!" Thomas calls out to the other brown haired boy who grabs the next rope, looking back with a worried glance, before he lets it carry him across.

"Frypan you next" He says as the dark skinned boy steps up and takes the next rope.

"Ok Y/n your up. Are you gonna be ok?" Thomas asks as Brenda hands you the rope. Im about to pick up Mollie to take you two across when I realise i can't carry her because of my arm.

"Shit! I can't take Mollie" I realise as I look down at the small girl holding my hand.

"I'll take her don't worry just go" Newt exclaims as he comes next to me picking Mollie up and wrapping his arms around her.

"Then you go first." I say looking at him in the eye. I can see that he is about to protest but I don't even let him start. " I'm not going until she's gone!" And with that, Newt grabs the rope and goes across.

"Ok Y/n Go!" Brenda yells as I grab the rope with my good arm and run off the edge. I can feel the cool air on my face as I fly across toward the other side. It's refreshing. I look up as I go only to see a WICKED helicopter watching us go along.

As my feet land on the other side, I almost fall, only to be steadied by Newt as he is right at my side.

"Are you ok?" He asks

"I'm fine, you sure ask a lot of questions" I laugh as I see his face blush a little as he looks behind me only to quickly pull me forwards by my waists. At first I'm confused by his action but that confusion leaves me when the other girl comes by almost hitting me as she is stopped by the rest of the boys. Everyone looks back at the building expecting Thomas or Brenda to come next but see no one. 

"Teresa where's Thomas and the other girl" Frypan asks her.

"I don't know. She went to get something and he followed her. But he said he would be back." She says as she looks in the direction we just came from expecting him to show up any second and fly across. But nothing.

As we all wait in silence, I hear Mollie walk next to me and grab my hand as we all watch the building. Suddenly, the music that was playing went quite and we all heard the bang. Then we saw it.

The whole building had blown up.
