Scorch Trials Remake

Cranks

I'm so sorry you guys I was on break and doings chapter and totally forgot to update! Again in sorry but here's the chapter.

Newts POV:

The sound seems like it's coming closer. As a precaution I take out my gun then whisper to the others to do the same. I take out a flashlight and scan the area. Everything seems clear, but the noise comes again. A silhouette appears in front of us, but the building is so dark that even out flashlights can't make out who's in front of us. More silhouettes come around us and by now we're all in a circle position. The silhouettes come closer and in one shift motion they all run to us. I'm the first one to fire my gun once I see that the things we are dealing with are cranks. I know that because we had a whole conversation with rat man about the scorch. Rounds of bullets go off until it's the last crank left.

"Wait! Wait. I'm not a full crank and I know that you fellows are associated with WICKED, so maybe I could help y'all out."

" I'd rather walk through bloody hell then listen to a crank." I say.

" Let's just hear what he has to say." Tommy says.

Of course leave it to Tommy to be all bloody humble.

" Okay spill. Tell us what you know about WICKED." Teresa says.

" They're working an against an organization called The Right Arm. The Right Arm takes kids from WICKED that has been their subjects as WICKED calls them. They're somewhere in the mountains. Apparently The Right Arm has taken all of Group B." The crank explains.

" How do you know all of this?" Minho asks.

" Some kid came running through here said his name was Aris, told me to tell this if a group of kids came through here." The cranks states.

Aris escaped with us but while we were in the first building, he went to go outside to check if we were clear and never came back. Hopefully he's with The Right Arm now. As promising as the cranks seems all of the Gladers still huddle up.

" How do we know if we can trust this shuck face?" Minho asks.

" I guess we just have to. He seems trustworthy. But if in the worst scenario WICKED finds him then he might tell them where we are headed." I say.

" So we're going to have to kill him." Frypan suggests.

" No. No we're not killing him. We'll trust his instincts and try to get more information on The Right Arm. Then we will leave and forget about this." Thomas says and raises his eyebrows for any objections to his plan. I look at this boy that only joined us about a month ago and wonder how quick he comes up with his plans. I was going to bring up my scenario about WICKED, but decide against it. We all turn back to the crank who was watching us.

" Do you have any idea where the Right Arm is?" Thomas asks.

" I think you head south towards the mountains." The crank answers.

He looks away with a glint of pleasure in his eyes and I can tell something's off because the crank gives a smirk mixed with a creepy smile. His eyes focus on something behind me and I know without a doubt the doesn't mean anything good. We all still focus on the crank, but I turn around to see his eye fixated upon Teresa. Thomas sees this too and moves her so she's in the middle of us.

" Ah smart of you. Now I'm afraid you all with have to pay the price!" The crank yells.

Suddenly we hear screams from all directions and start fighting yet another round of bloody cranks. Gee if I was one of these I would kill myself before I got to this stage. We fight and win obviously and the same crank is in front of us just watching. What we though was the last turns out not to be and two cranks take Teresa by her arms and pin them behind her back. Tommy tries shooting them, but they keep moving and he can't get a clear shot.

" I'll do what ever you want! Just don't touch her!" Thomas yells.

" You see Thomas the thing I want isn't something I can have. What I truly want it to stop being a crank but as you know that is clearly impossible. So I guess your little friend has to go." The crank spoke.

Frypan out of nowhere turns so fast and shoots the two creatures that it feels like it happened in a blink of an eye. Thomas goes to Teresa's side and hugs her. I turn back to the crank and without hesitation shot him in the head. We all reorganize our things, reload our weapons, swept the place quickly, and get the hell out of the place.

" Are you okay?" I hear Thomas ask Teresa.

" I'd rather have that then the WICKED guards so yeah I'm okay." She responds.

" Alright let's get a move on to the mountains and hopefully with a whole lot of luck we'll survive and be safe for once." I address the group. No one says anything they just nod their heads and we all start again off into our adventure 

I know its short but I need some ideas so feel free to comment if you want anything to happen. Again I'm sorry for not updating in like a month.
