Girl runner Sequel  (The maze runner, Newt Fan fiction)

Chapter 2.4 

.....

It felt like we've been walking for miles, finally we stop by a bit of a broken building. We place all our stuff down on the sand, Newt and Minho gently place Winston on the ground. Thomas lifted up Winstons shirt to reveal the crank bite; it has spread across his stomach. We all gather around him and tried to calm him down as he starts shaking and panicking, he reached his hand for the gun in my pocket and tries to shoot himself, however, Fry smacks the gun out of his hand before he could pull the trigger. He grips onto Minho's shirt with force not letting Minho go and starts growling, Newt and Teresa try and separate Winston's hand from Minho's shirt. Winston finally let's go of Minho and starts apologising; "please let me let me pull the trigger, I don't want to turn into crank" he pleaded.

Everyone exchanged glances and finally Thomas gives Winston the gun, I could tell Newt wasn't happy with Thomas's actions as he started walking away; I wanted to go after him but on the other hand I want to stay with Winston in his final moments. I decided to go after Newt to give him comfort, I see him sat down with his legs tucked into his chest. I go up to him and sit down next to him, he looks at me as I rest my head on his shoulders I could tell he is smiling as he puts his arm around me. We hear footsteps and I turn around:
"Come guys we've got to go..." Thomas says in a sad tone as he looks down at us, I hear Newt sigh as he gets on his feet. He extended his arm to me and I grasp my hand on his, I don't let go as we walk to the rest of the group. As we start walking away a loud gunshot echoed through the desert, everyone turned around in dismay knowing it was. My grip tightened around Newts hand.

                                        ....

BANG

My head up and see that we had fallen asleep, I look up and realised that clouds were black and grey with violent thunder. "Okay we've got to go!" I shout at everyone as in the distance was lighting sparking the ground and it is getting closer; everyone bounces up and grabs their bags. I look the opposite way of the storm and see lights. "Look!" I yell and point in a direction to the dim lights.

Everyone starts sprinting towards it as the storm was practically above us, I start panicking as I didn't know if Newt was with us or not but I kept on running. We make it to the building and is a couple of meters away from a back door, suddenly lightning struck right near us and pushes Thomas, Minho and I of the ground. I land on my stomach and knitted my eyebrows as I slowly get back onto my knees, I hold my chest in pain and groaned as I try and get back onto my feet. I look back and see Thomas grabbing Minho who appears to be unconscious, I felt someone grasp my arm and pull me with them but I am to busy looking back at Thomas struggling to carry Minho. I knew I had to help. I free myself from the persons grasp and sprint towards Thomas, lightning was striking in every direction; I could hear people's faint yells behind me however I ignore it. I wrap Minho's arm around my shoulder as Thomas does the same, "LETS GO" he screams while we bolt to the door. I see Newt screaming at us to hurry up. We make it.

Thomas and I gently place Minho on the ground and Thomas tries to get him conscious, Newt swings me around to face him. He frowns at me and yells: "Never do that again! You could've been hurt or worse". I lock eyes with him "someone had to help I couldn't just stand there and do nothing!" I frown releasing my arm from his grip, I walk away before he can say anything else. The nerve of him.
I walk over to Minho to try and help him. Suddenly he gasps for air and asks us what happened; "you were struck by lightning" Thomas replies revealing a smile. Minho lays his head down "oh" he says relieved, I giggled and looked up at Newt he was turning his back against me and I could tell that he was crossing his arms. We go through another door and flash the torches around, we all jump when a crank tries and grabs us however it looks like it has a chain around its neck so we were just out of It's reach. Several other cranks appear and try to get us we stay close together not daring to move incase one of them grabs us. Newt stands in-front of me wrapping his arms around my hips in a protective manner, he always seems to find away to not allow me to stay mad at him for long. That's what I like about him. Suddenly the lights switches on and a girl walks in with short hair, she walks through the struggling cranks without batting an eyelid.

"I see you've met our guards dogs" she jokes but no one laughs, "come with me Jorge wants to meet you". We all exchange glances debating whether to trust her or not but at the state we are in and being surrounded by cranks inside and a storm outside we have no choice. For now all we can do is expect the unexpected.
