Hell is better

Chapter 4

Newt's point of view:

A few more days had passed, slowly you no longer knew what to do. Teresa's wound, which I had only made worse, had healed reasonably well. Just like mine.
We still didn't talk much, after my 'sorry' we were both speechless. The mood was strange , very strange.
I was still mad at her and I didn't understand her, but then again, I felt sorry for her.
There was chaos in my head and the result was a strange mood.
I tried to concentrate on the book that I was reading, but it didn't work. It was totally boring and had no real story. I was slowly running out of ideas.
I groaned when I turned around again, not because I was in pain, but because it all sucked. I was one hundred percent sure that hell was better.

After a while trying to do something, Teresa came out of the bathroom.
Her wet, curly hair hung on her face as she pensively walked down the aisle. I liked her curls, it made her look kind of naughty and so natural. She didn't look like a scientist from WCKD.
Yeah ... it was clearly a long time since I'd seen her like this.
Suddenly she came up to me, her towel wrapped around her body. She just sat down.
"Is something wrong?" I asked after she said nothing and just continued to sit there.
"We have to do something!"
I looked at her confused.
"Well, we can't hide here all the time. Our food supplies will also run out soon. We have to find a way out of town. I already have an idea, but we have to go into town for that. "
"Are you sure you can already do that?"
"Sure, we mustn't waste any time! We have to go now." She was ready to go, but she had forgotten something.
"Uh Teresa, I think it would be better if you got dressed first.

We walked slowly through the streets. We tried to move on as quietly as possible. Attention would be the worst thing that could happen to us now.
Fortunately, we hadn't seen cranks before, only heard them. It should stay that way if possible.
Teresa was just running up again to check the next corners. I didn't know she was that fast.
She looked back with her hair blowing in the wind.
"Everything safe"
"Well, can you tell me where we're going?"
"Trust me ..." she said dryly.
Great, trust. She knew exactly that I didn't do that.
"That was a joke. You know what a berk is right? " I just nodded.
"There should be some under WCKD, somewhere in the basement. At least that was suspected."
"Wait what? You don't even know if it's there?"
"Do you have a better idea?" she turned back to the street.

We were almost in the center. Maybe it was 100-200 meters away. You couldn't say that exactly because of all the ruins.
I looked around. I still remembered the final night, but I didn't remember it that bad. Everything was destroyed, really everything.
If we were hit by a crank now, we would have no chance to hide.
Teresa ran a few meters ahead again. She was ready to fight at any time. Somehow I didn't expect it. Suddenly she stopped.
"Do you hear the?" did she whisper? I listened. Cranks. Their sounds could be heard, and something like that. And then there was already a group in front of us.
Because of the panic, I didn't even know what was going on.
"Give me your knife!" shouted Teresa. " How so?" I was uneasy about her. She had the gun.
"Just give me the damn thing !!!" now she was screaming sooooo loud that the cranks began to move.
Now they had noticed us, no question about it. I couldn't look that fast when Teresa came up to me, took the knife out of my hand and ran towards the four cranks.
She would never do it alone. I started moving but didn't know how to help her.
They surrounded her on all sides. She turned in circles like an animal, her eyes never denied.
And then everything happened very quickly. She picked up the knife and snapped forward.
The first was already on the floor, the throat cut.
The other cranks just looked more murderous now.
The monster came up to them with its claws extended. It was way too fast, she would never be able to do that.
I didn't want to look, I couldn't help myself. I pretended to see her body on the floor, but her back went back, for a brief moment I thought it was going to break. She was flexible!
And as fast as she was down, just as fast she was up again and shot the two cranks in the head.
She looked at me, out of breath. But my eyes only widened.
I ran to her as fast as I could. I picked up the knife from the floor and before the last crank could attack her from behind I stabbed him from behind. She looked scared at first, but then got up.
"Thanks"
"No problem"

"How can you fight so well? I can't remember you taking a self-defense class in the Glade."
I could see a small smile on her face. "Did you really think that WCKD would let me out into the big wide world without preparation or into a maze full of boys who have never seen a girl?"
Okay that was a point for her.
"Come on let's go on, maybe we can find something. The Wckd building is back there."
I followed her as fast as I could, she was really full of energy!
And already she circled the ruin, climbed over stones and tried somehow to get to the ground. I did the same to her.
But what was the point of puddling around in the dirt?
"Ummm Newt ?! I think I found something here."
