A Newt love story (scorch trials)

Chapter five

*COURTNEY*
I was running through the maze, watching out for the boy shanks in the group. Looking for my own way out, it was becoming an end of a hot day.

I slowed down into a walk, casually admiring how high the maze walls went. I still found it amazing they made Tommy make This, the walls were so high it must take at least over ten minutes to climb.

Reminding me of when me, ably and gally were all friends.
I got lost in my own thoughts until I turned round the corner when I hit something. Something hard.

He was breathing so lightly you would of the shuck was dead. His blonde hair had blood all over it, only a few places showing blonde, his face was drenched in it too. his ankle was in a griever-like state. This was not for the faint of hearts.

I looked around for a shuck, there was none around "HELP" I screamed, not caring who came. I dragged him around the corners of the maze, He was heavy and it felt like I was trying to drag a rock.the blood started flowing past his face and to His chest. "HELP" I screamed again.

As I turned there was the opening to the glade.Alby was there standing, pacing back and forth. He snapped his head instantly as I came round the corner, he instantly rushed to my assistance.

"what happened?" He said. "I don't know I just found him lying on the floor at the end of the wall" I said, out of breath from dragging him.

Alby's face turned a different colour "hey, hey! Newt can you hear me" he lightly slapped the boys face.

Newt stirred. My heart sunk, it was newt. I held back the sudden tears rising. He wasn't meant to be in here. anger rose inside me.

The other boys hadn't realised yet as they were eating, a few of gally's boy's had helped pick up newt.

One picking him up by the arms, the other grasping the feet. One managed to hold his back somehow.

"Thankyou" alby gasped. "he's the new greenie,been here for a couple of weeks. he's not taking this world too good Courtney" he said.

"that's okay alby, keep an eye on that shuck for me yeah?" I said to gally.

He nodded in response, a sad look on his pale face. "Tell him you dragged him here okay? No shank needs to know about me" I said.

Alby nodded his head. "I miss you Courtney, won't you come back to the group?"
"Never again" I said. I went back to the woods, every so often I would see newt.

I woke up instantly and saw newt, he was up against the wall. Cranks filling the empty space where the gladers should be, but they were stuffed in a corner.
***

The cranks paced back and forth between the gladers, I hadn't felt more nervous then ever.

one of the young boys started to sniff the air. And quickly snapped round to me. He went into a crouch position right in front of me. "They're carrying one" he wispered. Then laughed maniacally.

"I can't believe this, it's too good" he laughed. Causing me to back away into the wall more. Newt started to turn red and his fists clenched. "They got alive one,by the looks she ain't even close yet" he roared.

I knew I shouldn't hit him but he was so weird looking. I wanted to rip his face apart, devour it, feel the flesh inside my mo-, I didn't know where that came from.

Was my crank side coming out already? That was impossible right? It a least takes a couple of weeks. But it had been weeks, it was taking affect already. The crank began to laugh louder.

I pushed as far as my head would go into the wall, then the crank stopped, stood up and instantly stopped laughing then walked away like nothing happened.

I let a breath I didn't know was holding in go, newt's hands were scrunched up so hard his knuckles were white. He turned and faced me "are you okay?" He asked in a wispered voice "I'm okay" I gulped.

He planted a sweet kiss on my forehead and reached for my left hand. He turned it over and saw scratch marks, his eyes widened. "Where did that Come from?" He wispered. A little fright.

"I don't know, must of done it in my sleep" I said, pulling my hand away under my t-shirt.

Soon the head crank came back, with Thomas behind him. they had decided to help us through and find WICKED and the cure. The catch? Well that was minho's fingers.
