Scorch Trials Remake

Storms And Buildings

" People cry, not because they are weak. It is because they have been strong for too long." - Johnny Depp

I don't know who needed to hear this, but my life has took a turn again shocker right, and this quote has stuck with me. If any of you need to talk I'm here. Now for this overdue chapter.

Thomas POV:

We have been walking in "bloody hell" as Newt calls it for about two hours. Nothing exciting has happened except that Minho tripped, got sand in his face and hair, and has been saying that it will ruin his perfect hair.like anyone's looking Minho. I'm still shocked at what happened with Teresa and somehow she's okay with it. She said that WICKED was worse and that makes me just want to fight all of the people who touched and hurt her. I can tell that we're all very protective of her since that incident, we now stand closer to her and together. Newt's directing the way South and it feels like it's taking forever. After a few more steps Newt abruptly stops and Minho runs into him.

" What are you doing slinthead?" Minho yells.

" Look." Newt says while pointing.

I walk up to them and what I see surprises me. A run down, abandoned city is in front of us. There are big buildings, some cars, and it looks like people were bulldozing the city but didn't finish the job. We all walked through the fallen debt when I hear a motor and stop.

" What is it Tom?" Teresa asks me.

" Listen." I respond.

They all stop to listen and I see that they hear it too because they all turn to me. A shadow passes over the abandoned town and I see a hovercraft surrounded with helicopters circling the city.

" Run! Hide!" I yell.

We all go under a concrete sort of slab and wait till there done circling and I see that on the side of the hovercraft it says, W.I.C.K.E.D. Of course there looking for their "Subjects" as they call us. We check once again and cautiously get out of our spot. Newt makes sure all of us are okay (mama Newt 😁) and then off we go into our journey.

Still Thomas POV

I look up at the sky and see the sky turning a light grey. It turns darker and now the whole area is completely dark. Suddenly lightning strikes ground behind us. We all start shouting as another bolt strikes almost right behind Frypan. We all run and don't stop. I stumble on some rocks and fall when I see a lightning striking right behind Minho causing him to lose his balance and fall straight down. Me and Newt run to him while we usher the others to continue running. Minho's clothes have huge holes in them and Minho is moving that much. Another strike hits right where a building of some sort sits. We lift Minho up and by now my hearing is cutting in and out. The same thing that happened to Minho almost happened to Teresa but luckily she just tripped and caught her balance.

" Go to that building!" Frypan shouts.

We all know that it's the most logical solution. Once we reach it we open up a door and set Minho down. We turn on our flashlights and look around. It's mostly like the building we stayed at and go back to Minho. We give him another shirt and try our best to get him in a comfortable position. After that I see a wall with a door. I call Newt, Frypan, and Winston over. On the count of three we open it and it's just a black pit of emptiness. We turn back around thinking that it's nothing till we hear a faint growling.

" I know that sound." Fry says.

" that looks like a better meal than a rat dont ya think." A crank says.

We start backing up and by now Minho is up and he's following us too. All at once the cranks jump forward. We prepare for the worst, but it looks like they're held back by chains.

Lucky us. At least the chains are helpful but if they're chained up who chained them? I think.

A voice startles us,

" Looks like you've met our guard dogs."

A women starts walking down the aisle of cranks with none of them touching her. Well the cranks are trying to but the chains restrict them.

" No one really makes it out here so either you're staying here with these guys or you follow me."

Looking at the obvious choice we follow her. I stay close to Minho and Teresa as best as I can. The woman leads us through hallways of people there faces saying " who the hell are you" or " don't come near me." We are lead up some stairs and I see that Teresa is falling behind. I step back till I'm at her side. I put my hand to the small of her back.

" Hey you okay?" I ask.

" Yeah just my legs hurt from all this walking." She responds.

I understand how she feels because I bet we all feel the exhaustion from the past few days. We have been sleeping on rocky surfaces, eating very little of what we have, and let's not forget the hiding from WICKED every once in a while. I look into her eyes and there's something she's not telling me but I don't push it since there was a lot to process. We end up in a room with a man whose facing with his back to us. The women speaks,

" I'm Brenda and this is Jorge."

Okay I'm sorry this took so long I tried my best to make it long. As I have said on my profile I have an updating schedule so it will be every 2 weeks so I don't know if I will post a chapter next week but I might and I thank those who are still reading. 1009 words wow this was really long. Love ya!
