Safe Haven | Newt Death Cure Fanfiction [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23

"You two freeze!" After a few more minutes of running, we saw a guard pointing his gun at people out of sight, whom we assumed to be our friends.
"Stay here. I'll tackle him." Minho tells me. Before I can even process what he said he proceeds to knock the guard out. I only hear the guards screams and the sound of crashing glass. I then cautiously walk to where Minho went and came upon Thomas, Minho, and Newt in a tight embrace. Tears cloud my vision.

Seeing Newt confirmed my worst fears. He was paler, dark bags surrounded his eyes, and dark nerves were starting to taint his handsome features. He's infected. He doesn't have much time. More tears come.

Newt's eyes meet mine.
"Cara!!!" He closed the distance between us and wrapped me in a fierce embrace. I clung on to him like my life depended on it, inhaling the scent of him, and drinking in his presence.
"What have they done to you?" His voice broke as he surveyed me, noticing how frail I've gotten. My tears get in the way of words.
"I'm here now, yeah? I'm sorry. I'm here now, love. You're okay. You're okay." He pressed his lips against my forehead and hugged me even tighter.

The sweet moment was cut short when Thomas and Minho started pushing us to go and telling us to run. Newt held my hand and we ran one hallway to another, avoiding the approaching guards.

"In here! In here!!" Soon the only choice we had was to enter a medical room. We barricaded the door as Janson pounded on it from the other side.
"Shit." This is a dead-end. We all shared fearful looks when they started cutting the door from the other side.
"Any ideas?" Minho called out as we all slowly backed up towards the glass window. Newt held my waist protectively.
"Maybe." We all turned to Thomas who seemed to suggest jumping out of the window. This was our only way out.
"Let's break it first." I said. Minho and Thomas then lifted a large oxygen tank and proceeded to thrust it into the window. We all watched as the glass shattered and slowly plummeted to the ground.
"Okay, it's doable...Just need a little running start." Thomas told us as he backed away from the window. Oh God. I hate heights.
"You sure about this?" Minho said as we all followed suit.
"Not really." Thomas admitted. Great now Im more scared.
"Nice pep talk." Minho sarcastically said.
"Yeah, we're all bloody inspired." Newt followed.
"And we're all going to bloody die." I almost laughed. We'd likely be falling to our deaths and we're still being sarcastic shanks.  Before we can count down, WICKED's guards come racing through the now opened door. So we just go for it and jump.
