What is Love?(Newt x reader)

Chapter 30: He Killed Them

YN POV

We've been walking through the sand for hours now, the sun was high in the sky, it was only 14:00 pm and I was already sick of this. Nothing but heat and sand throughout the journey.

"Hey! I see something!" Minho yelled from the front of the group.

"Well, what do you see?!" Newt shouted back. 

"I think it's a bridge!" Minho replied. Newt took my hand and pulled me with him to the front. We walked up to Anna and Minho who were leading the group. Once I looked up I saw a bright red, metal structure that used to be a bridge.

"Lets go check it out." Minho said.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? It could just be another trap from WICKED." I asked.

"Okay, how about only the four of us go and Thomas can stay here to look after everyone." Minho said.

"Hey, why me?" Thomas asked.

"Cause if we let you come with us you'll probably find some sort of way to put us in danger." Minho replied with a smirk.

Thomas sighed in frustration, "Fine."

"Listen everyone! YN, Newt, Anna and I are going to check out the bridge! The rest of you stay here with Thomas!" Minho announced.

And with that the four of us started walking down towards the red bridge, it was only a five minute walk when we finally made it to the bridge.

"I don't think there's anything he-" Newt was cut off by crying. We all looked at each other confused.

Minho then started signalling with his hands trying to tell us something, "What?" I whispered in confusion.

Minho rolled his eyes, "You two go that way-" he whispered pointing right, "-And we will go this way." Minho explained.

"Oh." Newt, Anna and I all said which made Minho puff out an annoyed sigh.

"Okay lets go." Minho said.

Newt and I proceeded to go right whilst Anna and Minho went left. The crying kept getting louder and louder, we finally came around the corner and what I saw surprised me. It was a little girl, about 4 years old, she was sitting on the ground her back pressed against the metal structure, tears were pouring down her face. She was here all alone.

Newt and I slowly walked up to her, which made her turn her head in our direction.

"w-who are you?" She asked in a squeaky voice.

"I'm YN and this is Newt. What's your name?" I asked softly. We both crouched down in front of her.

"E-Emmy." The girl sobbed.

"Okay Emmy, why are you here by yourself?" Newt asked calmly, making sure to not scare the girl.

"T-the scary man, he k-killed my parents." She replied and started to cry again. 

"Hey, it's okay." I said and pulled Emmy into a hug, she wrapped her arms around my neck and cried into my shoulder. "You can come with us and our friends if you want." I said.

"Y-yes please." She replied.

"Come on then, lets get going before they get worried." Newt said.

Emmy pulled away from the hug and the three of us got up.

"YN, Newt you found any- oh." Minho said as he came around the corner with Anna. Newt picked Emmy up and rested her on his hip, and the girl hid her face in the crook of his neck.

"We leave you two for 10 minutes and you make a child." Minho said making us laugh.

"Who's the weird guy?" Emmy whispered, loudly to Newt.

Newt chuckled, "He's my friend, Minho and the one next to him is Anna." He whispered back also loudly.

"Lets get going before Thomas klunks his pants." Minho said.

"Trousers." I corrected.

"You and your weird words, lets just go." Minho replied.

So Newt put Emmy down, she grabbed his hand and we started walking back to everyone else.

Once we finally got to where everyone else was waiting they all looked at Emmy with shocked expressions.

"What the hell took you so long-" Thomas started but then looked down at Emmy, "-a child."

"Everyone this is Emmy." Newt said which started a chorus of 'awws'.

"Right people, lets get walking." Minho said.

And so we started our endless walk again. Newt, Emmy and I were all walking in the middle of the group.

"I swear, once we get out of here I am never going to complain about being too hot ever again." I told Newt.

"Honey, lets be honest, that's not gonna happen. We're both British, complaining runs in our blood." He replied laughing.

"My legs hurt." Emmy whined and looked up at Newt with puppy eyes.

He sighed, "Come on then." He said and picked her up.

"Thank you." Emmy said and put her head in the crook of his neck. 

"Your welcome, sweetie." He replied. I smiled up at him, "What?" He asked confused.

"Nothing, nothing." I replied, he just rolled his eyes and we carried on silently walking.

We suddenly heard yelling coming from the side, as soon as I turned my head I saw two figures running towards us.

"Are those people?" Anna asked.

"Looks like it." Fry replied.

"Everyone pack in tighter." Minho commanded loudly. "And get ready to fight."

I took Emmy from Newt and moved so that I wasn't standing at the edge of our tight circle. The smell of sweaty boys filled my nostrils.

The figures stopped a couple of meters in front of us. One was a man and the other was a woman, they wore poorly-sown scraps of clothes. Both of their hands and faces were covered in scabs.

"Who are you?" Minho demanded. But nothing, silence, the two people didn't respond. "There are a lot more of us than there are of you. So tell us, who are you?"

"We're cranks." The woman responded.

"Came to see if you're cranks. Came to see if you've got the flare." The man added.

"Some old guy told us we do." Minho replied.

"I'm scared." Emmy whispered into my ear.

"It's okay don't worry. They're gonna leave soon." I reassured her.

"Well, what do you bloody want? What's it matter to you if we're cranks or not?" Newt asked.

"How'd you get in the scorch? Where'd you come from?" The woman asked completely ignoring Newt.

"We were sent here by WICKED." Minho replied bluntly.

"Not all of the cranks are past the gone." The man said completely ignoring Minho.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Minho asked, but the couple just turned around and started walking away.
