Until the End: Newtmas Fanfiction Contest

Chapter One

I woke up screaming. My forehead was dripping with sweat. Minho ran in.

"Thomas! Are you all right?"Minho asked.

I looked up at him and sighed.

"Minho, I can't sleep."I put my head in my hands.

Minho sat down next to me. He put his arm around me for comfort.

"Thomas, you need to forget about it. It's over."Minho said.

I wiped my forehead.

"Minho, I can't. I can't forget about him."I said.

Tears threatened to take a trip down my face but I refused to let them fall.

"Thomas, if you need to cry, you can. You're human."Minho calmed me down.

I looked at him.

"It's just...I haven't told you the whole story."I said.

Minho's face turned white.

"Thomas?"He said hesitantly.

"When I went to visit Newt the second time, he pinned me down."I began.

"And? Don't leave me hanging, shuckface."

"I reached for a gun. Newt noticed and grabbed my hand. He held my hand, that was holding the gun, to his forehead. He yelled at me, telling me to repent for my sins. He forced me to shoot him."I burst into tears.

Minho looked shocked, like he was about to pounce on me and rip me to shreads any second.

"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, Minho. I'm so sorry."I cried harder.

"Thomas. That was not your fault. Thank you for telling me."Minho stood up and left the room without another word.

I wiped my face and slammed my fist on the bed in anger. I yelled in frustration. I looked out the window. The sun was slowly rising. I put my head on the soft pillow and closed my eyes.

~SKIP TO MORNING~

I opened my eyes three hours later. I felt so shucking tired. As I slowly raised my head, I heard something crumble. I looked around. Nothing. I put my head back down and heard it again. I lifted my head and heard it once again. I reached under my pillow to feel a piece of paper. I pulled it out and unraveled it.

He's still alive.

My breathing stopped. I opened my door and raced to the dinner hall, running into several walls on the way. I tumbled down the staricase yelling Minho's name. My head hit the wall and I groaned. Minho ran out, followed by Brenda.

"What happened? Are you ok?"Brenda started to feel my arms and my face but I pushed her away.

I stood up and panted.

"Minho. He's still alive."I handed Minho the note.

Minho gasped and almost fell back. I helped him gain balance.

"No. That's not possible. But you said."His face was covered in sweat.

"I know. I don't get it either."I looked at the note again.

Frypan ran in and looked at me and Minho.

"You shanks need to calm down."He looked at me.

"Thanks for the advice."Minho said sarcastically.

I heard the sound of a portal and ran outside. Gally was closing the Flat Trans. I freaked.

"Gally! Stop! Don't close it! Don't close it!"I yelled as I ran to him.

It was too late. He stopped but the portal closed. I fell to my knees.

"NO!!!!!!!!"I cried.

Minho ran out followed by Brenda, Jorge, and Frypan.

Gally ran over.

"What?"He asked.

"The portal. It's closed."I whimpered.

"Did you need it?"He asked.

"Yes you shank! Newt could be on the other side!"I yelled, standing up.

"Ok, calm calm. I didn't know."Gally inched backwards as I stepped closer.

"Thomas, do you really think he's still alive? I mean, you shot him in the head."Brenda said matter-of-factly.

My rage exploded. I turned and faced her. She smirked at me.

"I just found out he's alive! You expect me to just sit here and wait for him?"I yelled.

She kept smirking. Now Minho was angry.

"Stop smirking or I'll wipe that smirk off your face for you. It won't end well."Minho gritted his teeth.

"Why do you care, Minho?"She teased.

I pinned her down.

"Oh Thomas. You're so gullible. I knew that you would trust me."Brenda laughed.

"What?"I asked.

"It was a joke. Newt's alive. Duh. The guy you killed was a hokey pokey."She laughed harder and louder.

I was about to punch her when Minho pulled me off of her.

"Where is he?!"I yelled.

Brenda got up.

"He's in a green warehouse. He's fine. I assure you."Brenda grinned in an evil way.

"Fry, take her away."I said and Frypan took Brenda away.

Suddenly, a new portal opened.

"Ok..."I was officially puzzled but I brushed it off.

"Gally, stay here and make sure that portal doesn't close."I said.

"All right."Gally stood next to the portal.

"Jorge, you go in with me and through the portal, but stay there so nobody closes it from there."Jorge nodded.

"Are you sure about this, Thomas?"Minho asked.

"I need to find him. I need to see his face. Please. I beg you."I pleaded and Minho nodded.

Me, Minho, and Jorge jumped through and Jorge stayed behind.

I spotted a green warehouse and Minho followed me inside.

I saw an unconsious figure on the floor. I ran up to it.

"Newt."I whispered.
