It's Always Been You, Newt (BOOK TWO)

ENTRY TEN

Thomas, Winston, Mason, Aris, Minho went to scout the West and Northern part of the mall while Max, Newt, Teresa, Frypan, and I looked around where we were.

"Let's pick some of this stuff up," Thomas said, before walking away with his group. "Anything you think we might need," I added. "We'll meet back here," Thomas said. "Wait, Tommy," said Newt. He passed him a flashlight. "Thanks," Thomas said.

As I looked around, I found many things. Pictures with Frames, blankets, and water tanks. I walked towards the back and was frightened by a mannequin. "Ah, shuck!" I said. "You alright?" Newt asked.

"Yeah..yeah.. I'm fine," I said.

I walked over to the clothes, needing something different then these WICKED clothes. I began taking off my sweatshirt, unbeknownst that Frypan was looking. Newt used his two fingers to pull Frypan's face away from my body and towards Newt. "What?" Frypan asked, laughing. Newt smirked then looked back towards me, while I was looking away.

Then Newt laughed and Frypan went back to whatever he was doing. As continued putting on new clothes, I found a brown jacket and couldn't help but think of Newt. I turned around to see Newt standing there, watching me.

"Newt.." I groaned. "How long have you been standing there," I asked. "Long enough," he laughed. "Please say you didn't see me naked," I said, cringing. "Love, I'm not that disrespectful, am I?" He asked.

"No," I said, looking down at the floor.

"Awww, you're so cute when your bloody embarrassed," he said and I blushed, wearing a big grin. "And you're gorgeous too," he whispered, sneaking his head into mine.

"That for me?" He said, motioning to the jacket. "Yes, this is for you," I said, handing him the jacket. He tried it on. "I fancy this," he said, taking a spin. "Thanks love," he said, giving me a kiss.

We soon began walking around, hand in hand, looking for things. We soon found a pile of water bottles and found some actual water in them. We looked inside of them and somehow, the water was still cold and fresh, so we took a bunch of them to give to the others.

"How you doing over there, Teresa?" I asked. "Good!" She answered after a pause. Soon, I grabbed a picture of a Mother and her two sons.

"What happened to you?" I whispered. "Same as everyone else, I reckon," Newt sperked.

Soon, all the lights began turning on and I fell into Newt's arms, frightened. We began getting together with the others. "What's going on?!" I asked. "I don't know!" Mason said. "What were Thomas and Minho doing?" I asked, realizing they weren't there. "They must've walked away or something! We stayed together," Aris said I heard faint yelling and soon I saw Thomas and Minho running towards us all. "Run!! RUN!"

I could see bodies running behind them and soon figured they were Cranks. "Oh sshhhhit!!" Newt yelled, putting on his backpack. "Go!! Runnn!!" Thomas screamed. "Shit! Shit!! SHIIIIIT!" Mason yelled, before turning around.

We turned around a took off, running towards a broken escalator. I stayed in front if everyone, guiding the way. We ran up the escalator and I almost tripped in the process.

We made it to the top, weaving through the broken-down mall. I turned a left, Thomas and Minho beside me.

"*growwwwl"," a creature said in front of me. "Shit!" I said. We creature began stumbling towards us and before I could get my bow out, Aris ran forward and swung at its' legs, making it fall. "Thanks Aris!" I said, then I shot it in the head, killing it. I grabbed the arrow and whacked it across the railing, getting the guts and muck of it.

The Crank split us up, ending me with Thomas and Teresa and the rest with Minho. I began running up ANOTHER escalator and midway in, Thomas tripped. "Thomas, dodge your head!!" I warned. He laid his head down and I shot the Crank in the head. I didn't care to think about that arrow, meaning that I had many more of them.

"Cmon! Get up, Thomas!" I said and he pushed the dead Crank carcass off him. We resumed running up the broken escalator.

We ran around the circular floor of the mall, meeting up behind the other group. "Go!" I screamed.

We eventually caught up with them, bringing us back together. Then, I heard a clatter. I saw Newt laying on the floor, a Crank on top of him. "Newt!" I screamed, fumbling to grab another arrow and clasp it into my bow. I finally felt the familiar feeling of feather, and then clicked it onto my bow.

I let go, sending the arrow swerve into the air. After it hit the Cranks head, burying itself into the Cranks head and heart. I ran towards Newt and kicked it off, making the injured, now dead, Crank fall down two floors.

Me and Fry helped him up. "Thanks Love!" He said, clasping onto me.
