TO SAVE THE WORLD (Maze Runner fanfic)

Chapter Five

"Are you sure you're alright?" Newt asks concern weaving through every syllable of his voice.

"Yes Momma Newt?" Loralie says with false annoyance "can we go now." rolling her eyes.

She takes to the back of the group so she can make sure nobody gets forgotten and quickly notices Aris and Winston's absence.

"Where is Aris?" Loralie asks worriedly, immediately turning to Newt who was running next to her. "Said he had something he had to do and ran off before any of us could stop us." Frypan answered, who was also running next to them.

Then Loralie noticed Newt's limp and how he winced every so often so she grabbed his hand and helped him along so he wouldn't slow them down.

Newt looked at her with a confused expression but said nothing.

She noticed this and joked, "What, don't tell me you've never held hands with someone before?"

Newt's cheeks slightly pinked and he cleared his throat trying to find something to say.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to flirt with you, I just noticed your limp and I didn't want you to get left behind." Loralie said confidently, which made Newt release a heavy sigh of relief.

"Hey ladies. Shut your shuck faces and catch up to the rest of the group." Minho hollers to Loralie, Newt and Frypan.

The trio faithfully obey and quickly fall in step with the others.

The group turns around a corner and Minho accidentally bumps into a doctor.

"What are you kids doing out?" She asks, eyebrows raised, her dark hair pulled into a tight bun.

Just then an alarm sounds and everyone looks at each other and the doctor narrows her eyes.

Thomas immediately grabs the woman before she can do anything and screams at her to lead them to the medical center.

"Wait shouldn't we be escaping? Why are we heading deeper into the building?" Loralie asks.

"We gotta get Tommy's little girlfriend, Teresa." Newt says although it looks as though personally he would rather not bother.

"FREEZE" someone yells seconds before opening fire on the children. Fortunately the attacker had a bad aim and missed everyone. More guards had found them and the kids immediately ran down the opposite way.

"Why are they shooting at us?" Frypan asks with a groan.

Minho, who had somehow taken up the rear of the group, ran back towards the line of fire.

"MINHO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Thomas screams and Loralie runs after him.

Minho knees the guy right as he is rounding the corner and he flies into the wall behind him and doesn't get up.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side." She says with all seriousness.

Thomas grabs the guards gun and they continue running down the hallway.

"Let's go." Thomas urges, aiming the gun at the doctor's back.

"Turn left, it's the first door down this hallway." She says and they follow her guidance.

They make it to the door and shove her through.

"Dr Crawford..." Another doctor says, surprised to see her.

Then Thomas goes in next, and all the doctors in the room put their hands up in surrender when they see him waving around his gun.

"Where is she?" He asks and nobody responds. "WHERE IS SHE?" He demands, his finger wrapped tightly around the trigger, moments away from pulling it.
