Under The Same Sky | Newt X ¡fem!Reader

Ch.13 •Marcus•

Y/n's POV:

Once we got Brenda and got out of there we found some stairs leading to a path. As we were walking Brenda sat down a ripped cloth as she rolled up the jeans, "hey you hear that," Thomas said from beside me as I looked around at the trashy street. "You alright?" I heard Thomas asked Brenda as I was zoned out thinking about the kiss Newt gave me before jumping out. I concluded that I have feelings for the British blondie. When we were going through the scorch Newt and I had bonded so much. I bonded a lot with everyone else too but we weren't as close as Newt and I. I was brought back to reality when I heard Brenda say, "shit."

I turned around and kneeled beside her. She was bitten and she wasn't immune, "No, no, no. Not you too we're going to figure something out I can't lose you too," I said as my eyes became watery. Thomas didn't know what to say all that came out was, "Brenda." Brenda looked at me with a calm but scarred face, "yeah, yeah, I know, let's just go find Marcus," she said as she finished wrapping her ankle and stood up. Before we walked through a street full of people that were most likely infected Brenda looked at us and said, "okay, try to blend in."

I walked next to Brenda with Thomas behind us, adults and kids were walking around the streets. As I walked next to Brenda she broke the silence, "I know I hadn't said it before but I'm sorry about your parents," she said as she put an arm around my shoulder. "I'm sorry too...I miss them every day and I blame myself every day for not being able to do enough." I said my voice getting shaky. "No, no, don't blame yourself you did what you could. Uncle and Auntie...they'd be proud of you for helping Thomas and his group. I miss them too they always treated me like they're own, they loved you so much don't forget that," Brenda said as we kept walking.

"Thanks, Bren," I said. "Anytime Smalls, so...you and Newt, huh?" She said giving my shoulder a push. "Oh shut up, that was the first time he's kissed me, maybe he did it for no reason," Thomas caught up to us, "Newt doesn't do things for no reason," Thomas said raising an eyebrow smiling as he walked on the other side of me. "Thomas, were you eves dropping?!" I asked shoving his shoulder. He shrugged his shoulder and laughed. "Well did you get butterflies when he kissed you?" Brenda asked teasing me. I quickly shook my head not wanting them to know.

Thomas and Brenda shared a look then raised an eyebrow at me, "Okay maybe I did get butterflies from that kiss, I get butterflies when I'm around him, and when he calls me love there I admitted it. Now, will you too shove off we need to find them," I said walking in front of the two as we made it to a still standing tall building. A lady with blond hair asked, "You here for the party?" As she came up from behind us. "Uh, no we're looking for Marcus, this is his place isn't it?" Brenda asked as the weird lady looked at the three of us and licked her lips. "This is my place," a most likely drunk dirty blond-haired man said as the blond lady pushed us towards him.

I smacked her hand away and pointed my dagger at her, "don't touch us!" I said as she put her hands up in defense. "Oh we've got ourselves a feisty one," I heard the man say as I turned back around to face the man and glared at him. "Are you Marcus?" Thomas asked the man. "Marcus doesn't live here anymore," the man said as he played with his rings. "Do you know where we can find him?" Brenda asked. "Sure, sure, he's over in zone B," the man said back. "Okay, what's zone B?" Thomas asked as the lady whispered near his ear, "it's where they bury the bodies," I faintly heard the lady say.

"Well has anyone else been by here looking for him?" I asked walking closer to the man. "A group of kids around our age, they had a girl with them, dark hair," Thomas asked the man walking up beside me. The man closed his eyes and put his hand to his face as if thinking, "you know um, I think they might be inside," the man said. I was now getting suspicious and didn't think going inside was such a good idea. But if Thomas and Brenda went inside I'd have to follow. The man pulled out a glass flask full of a green liquid, "here, drink this," the man said as he opened the bottle and put it in front of Thomas.
