The Scorch Trials - Newt

New Facillity

*WARNING* Change of POVS in this chapter.

Maeve:

A little girl was carried by a woman who was desperately shoving her way through the crowd. Florescent lights flickered above their heads, dust particles flying into their eyes. The little girl clutched onto her mother like a lifeline as a bunch of guards with weapons slung over their shoulders came into view.

The mother gently pried the small hands around her neck as she set the little girl down on her feet.

"Stay safe okay?" She whispered as she adjusted the little girl's braids, "I love you Maeve. Never forget that Mommy loves you."

The little girl stared at her mom confused as her eyes started tearing up, "Why are you leaving me?"

But she never got a reply as a guard picked her up whisking her away from her mother.

"MOMMY!"

——————————————————

My body jolted up as someone shook me violently. Eyes snapping open, Newt's figure came into view as he hovered above me with a worried look.

"We gotta go!"

I was still disoriented from passing out after crying too much and from what I had just dreamt about.

Or was it a memory?

"What's going on?"

"I don't know but they're rushing us out," Ashton replied as he pulled me up and into Newt's arms who gripped me tight as the blood rushed back to my numb legs.

Jumping out of the helicopter, we blindly ran towards a giant building as chaos ensued around us.

Shots were fired the second someone yelled out Cranks as a warning.

"Keep moving! It's not safe here!" A guard yelled as he pushed me forward

"Set a perimeter! Hold them back on the right side!"

The sand made it hard to run, especially with my banged-up leg. As we entered the building, bright lights flooded my eyesight, and the noises around me quieted down as the door behind us closed with a hiss.

I panted as I tried to get my breathing steady. Thomas bumped into my shoulder as he pushed his way to the front but I was too busy staring at everything around us to curse him out.

Alarms were blaring and boxes scattered upon every inch of the ground. Masked people were running around each heading somewhere different. Three of them came towards us as they started guiding us to a room.

"Get inside! Hurry hurry!"

"What's going on out there?" Ashton declared

"Nothing we can't handle." One of the guards replied as the door was slammed shut.

Thomas started banging his fists against the door, "HEY! Let us out!"

My hand found Newt's as I interwined our fingers hoping to seek comfort. Everyone was scared, cold, hungry-

Food.

The banging caused by Thomas had long stopped as we all stared at the table ahead of us covered in food.

Chicken, fruits, rice, pasta, bread, water, even desserts. How long has it been since I've eaten a proper meal? Not the tasteless stew or soup Frypan and I would make?

My mouth watered at the sight and the only thing I wanted to do at the moment was eat until I went into a coma.

"Dibs on the rice!" Fry called out as each one of us grabbed whatever we could get our hands on.
