Unbroken [maze runner fan fic]

Chapter Seven: Letting go

Thomas' POV~~~~

I screamed louder than I ever had before, my pulse rising. I had just tripped over an arm,  a once living breathing human beings arm. Everything around me started moving in slow motion, I couldn't breath. Oh God. Every single horrible scenrio cramed its way into my mind. Was that Newts arm? I scooted closer to the limp site, and tried to examine it. It wasn't Newts clothing.

I stood up and spun around to see where I was, my head began pounding, as though someone had thrown a rock at my head. I had to keep moving, I had to find Newt. Even if it was the last thing I did. I started up running again and screaming his name

"Newt! Where the hell are you?!" and then came the sound of the grievers. A sound that could make you klunk your pants 100 times over again. This can't be happening. I searched over every row and under every bush. I couldn't find him anywhere, I punched the wall in front of me as hard as I could.

"Shit!" I stared down at my knuckles and watched as blood trickled its way through each crack in my fingers. Good job Thomas, you haven't only lost your best friend, you've now wounded yourself. I sat down, and let out a deep sigh, I was going to die tonight, and so was Newt.

Elena's POV~~~~

The scream echoed in my ears. "Minho! What is happening?!" I grabbed him by his shirt, as anger pulsated through my body.

"I don't know Elena!" Minho took my hands off of him and stepped back, pacing while biting his lip. "They shouldn't be in there, c'mon now. Standing here isn't gonna change a shucking thing! We're going to find Gally" I nodded in agreement.

We walked off away from the doors, my mind and heart felt like they were going to shatter into a million pieaces. I grabbed a knife off of the table, Minho threw me a glance and I shrugged. "Protection." We walked over and into the woods, where Frypan and the others sat around a fire.

"Hey greenie! Where's Thomas N Newt?" one of the gladers shouted to me.

"Theyre in the maze. Where is Gally?" Minho shouted. I gripped the knife even harder, as I watched Gally come out from behind a tall rotting tree. Hm.. Kinda like his soul, I thought to myself.

"Present" he said, his voice cold, and monotone.

"What were you thinking locking Elena in there? She could've died!" Minho began walking closer to Gally. "And now we have two gladers locked in there for the night! TWO GALLY!" This time Minho's voice was louder, and full of hate.

"Good that! I hope they get eaten alive!" Gally's laugh made my stomach sick. I launched myself at him, and held my knife to his throat.

"You think this is a game Gally? What the hell is wrong with you? Thomas and Newt are out there, and who knows if they'll make it out alive!" I pushed my knife even closer to his throat.

"Kill me, go ahead Elena. Show them what you're really made of" I stared into his sunken eyes, I wanted to kill him. I wanted to take my knife and shove it into his blackened heart. Suddenly I was thrown over, and the roles had revearsed.

"You don't have the guts! You might be strong Elena, but killing just isn't in your bones" He spit in my face and got off of me. Minho quickly punched him right in the face. He was knocked out cold.

"You alright" Minho asked as he lifted me off the ground.

"Fine. What're you gonna do with him?" I swept the dirt off of my shirt and watched as all the gladers stood there, jaws dropped.

"We're gonna lock him up" Minho patted me on the shoulder, and I watched him fade into the darkness.

Thomas' POV~~

I wondered what was happening out there, past the brutal walls that were holding us captive. I slammed my head into the wall I rested on. Suddenly, I heard noises from around the corner, my heart started racing as I pushed myself back into the vines and squeezed my eyes shut.

"What in the bloody hell are you doing?" My eyes shot open, and I scrambled to my feet.

"Newt, you're alive! I thought we were dead" I wanted to hug him. I had never really wanted to hug anyone before. Well, atleast I couldn't remember what it felt like to wanna hug someone.

"Tommy, aren't you supposed to be the positive one?" Newt chuckled. How was he laughing during all of this?

"Let's get outta here" I looked Newt up and down before starting to make my way to he exit. His head had been cut, badly. He had blood stained to his shirt and fore-head. Now obviously wasn't the time to ask. I began running as fast as I could, while listening to the greivers scream.

"Tommy wait. Stop!" Newt had froze in place, he pointed upwards to a giant creature standing directly above us. I looked up, and back to him. I needed him to run as fast as he could in that moment, there was no way we would make it out if we stopped now.

"RUN!" I screamed and insatantly darted for the exit praying Newt wasn't far behind me. I could hear the griever gaining on us. I made a quick right turn, and then left, right, and right again. I checked behind me, to make sure Newt was still there. I lookd up and the griever was gone. I stopped in my tracks, Newt nailing me right in the back.

"Why are we stopping?" Newt looked as if he was gonna be sick.

"It's gone." Something wasn't right here. The sky wasn't as dark anymore.

"Come on, it's time to get outta here for good" Newt said gesturing towards the exit which stood right before us. There was no way we had gotten to the exit already. We were still a few turns behind. The doors shook and I watched as Newt stepped back.

I saw a group of people standing at the front, Elena and Minho at the front of the crowd.

"They're alive!" I heard Minho scream

I helped Newt out through the passage way, and glanced over to Elena.

"You guys made it. You shanks scared us!" Minho said, I guess that was as friendly as he got.

"I'm so glad you're okay" Elena embraced me in a hug. It felt nice. I pulled her in tight, and didn't ever want to let go. She pulled away and slammed herself into Newt.

"I thought you guys were dead" Newt pulled back

"Ha. We couldn't leave you two alone! The whole place would've gone to hell!" Newt shook off the fear that still laced his eyes.

"Woah wait, Newt what happened to you?" Elena stepped back, giving Minho a clear view of the blood that still stained his shirt and forehead.

"Absoloutly nothin" He patted Minho on the shoulder. "I need sleep"

We watched as he dissapeared into the medjacks room, and I knew something was off.

I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER! WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO NEWT? AND WOW THOMAS FINALLY GOT THAT HUG!
