Not just a Girl || Newt

Chapter 29

My eyes flew open and I started couching violently. A doctor walked straight up to me putting a flashlight in my eye.

Everything came rushing in. The girl, the fighting, the blond woman who was my mother and so much more.

Finally, my father. The man lied to us, we are still at WCKD.

I grabbed a silver tray next to me and hit the doctor right in his face. I heard the door open with a loud bang. I looked to my side to see a small knife laying next to. I grabbed it in my hands.

I saw a figure charging at me with their hands out in front of them. I grabbed them by the wrist and pulled them over my shoulder on the ground. I straddled them with a knife against their throat.

"Killer." The person said.

I shook my head from left and right. I now saw Newt laying below me on the ground.

"Newt!" I almost screamed and brought him in a hug. Another loud bang made me release him and I looked up to see people banging against the door.

"We have to go now!" Thomas screamed. I now saw Teresa getting up from the bed closest to the door.

Since when did she get here?

I heard a loud crashing sound and saw that Newt and Thomas smashed the window. Minho yelled at us pointing a fucking gun at the door.

Newt jumped out through the smashed window and held his arms up for me. I jumped and he caught me in his arms.

We ran our way through the building.

"Stay behind me." Thomas yelled at everyone. He opened a door and there stood a guard before us now. Nobody moved a muscle. I fished out a throwing knife out of my pants, as my holster was around my bare legs and the pants blocked my way.

I went to throw it, but Thomas shot at the guard. The guy fell down and started to shake violently.

We quickly collected ourselves and made our way towards a closed door. Thomas took out a card and tried to open the door, but it didn't open.

Anxiety was flowing through my veins, but it got worse when I heard a voice.

"Thomas."

We turned around to see no other than Janson at the end of the hallway, maybe 5 guards with shields behind him.

My eyes turned wild. Thomas turned around with his gun towards him.

"Open the fucking door!" Thomas yelled.

"You truly don't want us too." He said with his hands up. "It is not safe."

"Yeah?" I made my way next to Thomas. I felt an hand pulling me back, but I shrugged it off.

"Cassieopeia." He said his eyes calmer. "I gave you back your memories, surely you know that it is not safe there."

I know about the virus and what it does to you. I know about the cranks littering our planet in the dark shadows.

"Out there they have a shot to survive." I clutched the knife more into my hand. "In here they get strung to wires, dead."

I heard a sound behind me and saw the door open up with Aris and Winston standing behind it.

"Come quick." Everyone made their way out except me and Thomas.

I threw my knife at Janson's head. He moved his head to the side making the knife collide against a guard, making them drop to the ground.

"I trained you, Cassieopeia." He took more steps forwards. "I turned you into who you are now."

"No!" I yelled at him, I took more steps backwards. "The person I was before the Maze doesn't exist anymore. You trained me yes, which was a big mistake. You now have a assassin playing against you, a Killer."

"You are just a girl, Cassieopeia." He said once more. "You don't understand it, I can show you everything."

"She is not just a girl." I heard a voice from behind me, making me turn around to look at Newt. "She is fierce warrior, she is kind to animals, she is quick and she is part of our family."

"Now Thomas!" I screamed. The boy started shooting at the guards, taking a step further towards them, while I took more steps back.

The doors behind us started to slowly close, Newt and I quickly made our way out of the hell hole.

We turned around to see Thomas throwing his gun toward the guards who were closing in. Janson hiding behind them like the coward he is.

We yelled at Thomas to hurry up as the doors was closing. He slid to the ground and under the door. Aris used a iron tube to hit the panel of the door, making it disconnect.

We are free.

We started running and make our way outside the building. Alarms were blaring all around us. My hand clutching that of Newt's.

We ran all the way outside in the dark. Sand started to poor into my shoos. We made our way on top of a sand hill. In the distance was yelling and people running around with flashlight pointing at every direction.

We starting running again hearing shouts coming closer. I didn't know how long we were running for until I saw a building laying in the sand.

"This way." Teresa made her way into the building even though we were telling her not too.

We saw bottles and clothing laying around. I grabbed a small backpack and filled it up with bottles of water and cans of food.

"Why did Janson call you Cassieopeia?" Winston asked me while I handed him a bag.

"Because that is my real name." I stated, but I saw the confusion on his face. "I don't like it either, but that guy decided to call me that when I was born, as he is my father."

I heard someone drop their stuff and looked up to see everyone staring at me in shock, well except Teresa.

I glanced around the group seeing who was here, if we got everyone.

"Where is Chuck?"

Everyone started to direct their eyes away from me.
