Second chance | Newtmas | the Maze runner + Teen Wolf crossover

Chapter 7

Newt follows me as I walk down the route that I know is right. It keeps getting darker but we're real close.

Still in the middle of the woods, I hear breaking branches and rustling leaves. I turn around shuddering when a loud growl can be heard. In the last moment, I shove Newt out of the way and at the same time get jumped on. Claws dig aggressively into my shoulders and I can't help but fall down and scream in pain.

My eyes are squinted but as I start to fight against the thing above me, I open them again. I look right into the face of this creature but all I'm able to make out are those sharp, strong (and disgusting) white-yellow-ish teeth and two yellow shining eyes.

I push fearful and with all my strength against the creature to throw it off, but it doesn't work. As it's head slowly draws closer, I punch and kick around panicked, hoping to hit something.

But the circumstance saving me in the end, is Newt who rams two of our knives into the back of this monster.

It tosses Newt off it's back with a simple movement and he crashes with full force into a tree. Even the tree shakes around afterwards and Newt falls down and remains lying motionless.

The beast now turns to him and wants to start its next attack but that's not gonna happen. Even I am surprised when I run towards the creature with full force, take out two of my knives and knock it down. My knives keep poking into the monster over and over again and tear its meat apart. The confusion of this thing sadly isn't for long because it quickly fights back and I'm once again in its grip and get growled at.

I already see me death with my closed eyes, when suddenly the weight on me disappears. I open my eyes irritated and see a wild bundle of claws and fur. "Run!" growls one of the both fighters. No need to tell me a second time because I immediately run to Newt. I shake him but he doesn't wake up, so I check his pulse and breathing. Since he's alive but won't wake up, I swiftly decide to carry him bridal style.

That's how we run through the forest. I was right, we're not too far away because we soon arrive at a lighted road. I glimpse down at Newt and see blood on his head. "You dumb, stupid, little Slinthead!" I swear. "Why'd you stab into this thing with knives? There was no possibility for it to turn out well. If you're not waking up soon, you'll get a shucking problem with me! Alright?"

I don't even realize the tears running down my cheeks. I just keep running until I luckily stand in front of a hospital. Without hesitation I run into the building. I run straight to the counter and gasp "He needs a doctor."

The nurse immediately calls for help and they take Newt from my arms and put him on a stretcher. I follow them or rather try to follow them but get held back. "You can't go with him. He is going to get operated on and you seem to need some help yourself. You can visit him later if his family agrees on that." The nurse tells me.

"No, please let me go with him." I beg.

"We really can't let you in there." She lectures.

"Please!" I cry while my vision gets darker and my body starts to hurt, especially my shoulders. "Please." I sob again before I faint...

I wake up panting. Where is Newt? I look around. Where the heck am I? Then I remember. The attack, the escape, the hospital. I NEED TO FIND NEWT!

I throw the bedsheet off of me and notice the tubes in my arms. Again, what the heck? They are soon removed from my arms and I stand up.

Klunk, that's pain. Not important. I push the pain aside. I HAVE to find Newt NOW! So I hurry out of the room I'm currently in and stumble down the hall. How the shuck am I going to find him? I can't go to the counter because they wouldn't tell me where he is. I also can't just look into every room to see if he's in there, can I?

Shuck shuck shuck shuck. I rest my upper body against the right wall and slide down. It hurts. It hurts so much, I can't breathe. I sit on the ground, lean to wall and pant for air. How did I get into such situation, again?

"Hey! Come on, you gotta breathe with me, okay? Can you do that? Breathe in. Breathe out." says a calming voice. I'm pretty sure it's the voice from the figure in front of me but I don't look up because I'm focusing on my breathing and mentioned voice.

It works and after some time, my breathing isn't as pressed anymore. My head remains hidden and leaned against my knees. "You did that very well! Can you tell me your name or your room?" I look up at the woman because her voice is familiar, even though I don't know why.

She gasps and her brown eyes widen. "Stiles?" I look at her with confusion. "Stiles? Is that you?" She asks again.

"What the hell is a Stiles?" I ask the nurse. The confusion is for sure written on my face.

"You're a Stiles." She says as a matter of course and touches me as if to see if I'm real. I cringe away, part because I'm kinda scared of her and part because it hurts. My face probably reflects that, so she asks again what my room is.

"Who are you?" I ignore her question and ask my own. I admit it, I'm paranoid.

"Where were you?" She ignores mine now.

"Where do you know me from?" I ignore her again. I'm not going to answer first.

"Wait, we're gonna get you back to your room first. Seems like you're in pain. We can talk after." She demands.

"I just want to Newt." I tell her. She is probably my best chance to get to him. She's a nurse after all.

"Who's Newt? I can probably bring you to him if he's in here." Jackpot!

"We came here together. I don't know when but it was definitely at night. He has honey blonde hair and he's pretty skinny. And I know for sure that he has a head wound and was unconscious when we came here." I tell her everything that could help her to recognize him.

"You're lucky, I found you." She smirks, grabs a wheelchair that is randomly standing there and puts me in it. "I know exactly where he is."
