My Glue (A Newt Fanfic)

Another day Running

I woke up the next morning early so that I could get ready to run. I walk outside of the homestead and am met by Thomas. I step back a step apprehensive of any interaction."Listen I'm not going to kiss you or anything like that. I wanted to apologize. I shouldn't have kissed you since you don't remember. I still will fight for you to remember because I love you." Thomas says. I relax a little since he seems to be telling the truth. "Ok. I accept your apology. Why are you out here?" I asked."Minho said that you are going to train me to be a runner since I survived in the maze." I blink. That fast? Wow. "Ok first we gotta gear up and get some food to take with us." He nods and we set off to get our backpacks and food. We go to our door and set off as soon as it opens. "Stay close and follow me. Do what I do. I'm gonna cut some vine and leave it at every turn so that we can find our way back. Once you catch on you will do that part. If we run into trouble never leave my side. Make sure you have your weapon ready. Be alert, sharp, and remember to never stop running unless we are taking our lunch stop. Got it?" I ask. "Yeah." He says panting. I laugh because I'm not even sweating.We heard a screech around the next corner and stopped. I looked around to see a Griever."That Thomas is a Griever. It is extremely violent. If it stings you it is the most horrible things in the world. If you get back in time and get the serum then you go through the Changing which is when you get some memories back. Enough about what they are we have got to get around it somehow because it's blocking our way to get back." I say and Thomas looks terrified. I step around the corner slowly to not get it's attention."Thomas, I'm gonna distract it and you run. Follow the vines to get back. I swear if you don't run, I'll kill you before the Griever gets you." I whisper. He nods and gets ready to run."HEY YOU!" I yell at the thing. It lets out a screech and runs at me. I dodge it and land on my side next to it. It extends it's knives and stingers."Run Thomas!" I yell and he runs. I get up just in time to miss a blade. I jump onto it's back nearly dodging it's blades. I jab my hand inside hoping to find it's heart and pull it out. Instead I found a handle. I wrap my hand around it. I pull but it is stuck. I feel a blade cut my back. I yell out in pain. I pull again and finally it comes out. I feel the Griever stop moving and fall down. It didn't move anymore so I ran. I made it back to the Glade before the doors closed. Newt ran up to me and hugged me. I winced but brushed it off. It didn't matter as long as I was with him."Newt!""Miranda what the bloody hell happened? Thomas came back before you did so I thought he left you out there. I was about to kill him.""He didn't tell you? There was a Griever again. So I told Thomas to run while I distracted it." Newt hugged me again making me squeak."What's wrong?" He asked."So when I was distracting the Griever I jumped on top of it," Newt looked like he was about to kill me."I missed most of its blades but one got me in my back. I managed to reach in it and pull out this thing. I'm not sure what it is but when I pulled it out the Griever like died." I said holding of the metal cylinder."Don't ever be a bloody hero again. You always get hurt." Newt said. Minho and Alby took the cylinder from me examining it."You guys can look at it all you want. I'm gonna go see Clint and Jeff." I said walking off. I heard the guys talking about it and I smiled. I killed a griever. Didn't want to brag but it was cool."Hey Clint, hey Jeff can you guys patch me up?" I said lifting up my shirt showing them my back. They gasp. Was it that bad?"What happened?" They asked."A griever got me. Can you fix it?" It was starting to sting.They wrapped my whole upper body in gauze pretty much. I walked out of the hospital and went to the homestead. Everyone was eating so I got some food and found Newt."Hey guys. Any ideas on the thing from the Griever?" I ask."I was thinking it might be it's control panel so the creators can make it go wherever they want." Minho said."That's a good idea. I was thinking maybe a tracking device. Maybe they use it to remember where they are and get back to their 'home'." I say stuffing a bite of steak in my mouth. Newt put his arm around me because he was done eating. I leaned my head on his shoulder. I was exhausted. I was half asleep when I felt arms fold underneath me. I assumed it was Newt. I was so tired that I fell asleep in his arms.
