Not just a Girl || Newt

Chapter 50

Everyone followed the car with their eyes as men of WCKD started to shoot it. Jorge rammed the car into an active helicopter that stood on the ground.

The helicopter tilted to his side and pieces of it flew threw the air.

"Run!" Thomas yelled as everyone scrambled to the side.

I let out a piercing scream when a small piece made contact with my upper leg. I fell to the ground on my hands and knees. I looked towards my leg to see a piece of metal sticking out.

I felt a pair of arms pulling me upright. Newt picked me up and I supported my weight on him while he brought me towards the rest of our group.

I looked behind me to see no other than Minho falling onto the ground. His body shook and gave in to the electricity. Four men started walking towards him.

"Minho!" I screamed and I pulled Newt's arms off of me.

"Cassie no!" Newt scolded me.

I saw the men getting closer to Minho.

"I have to help him Newt." I said to him, already making up my mind. "He saved me in different ways, he saved you, he saved everyone in the Maze. Now it is my time to safe him."

"Cassie please." Newt pleaded.

"I will only slow you down with my leg."

I quickly pulled him in one small kiss. It was different then the once we have shared before. There was no lust or longing. This one was pure love I felt for the boy. The boy who was infuriated at first, but he made his way into my heart nevertheless.

When I pulled away from our short kiss I saw a tear rolling down his cheek.

"Survive for me Newt." I told him and turned to see Minho get picked up by the WCKD men.

Newt released his arms as I stumbled to the men. Before I could utter I word I felt a stinging feeling going through my body. One I was used to in the Maze.

I fell down onto the ground and felt arms around me, pulling me up. I didn't struggle when they took me to their ship. I tried to take one glance at Newt to see him running away while they kept shooting at him.

I got pulled in the ship and strapped against the chair. I looked before me to see Liz and Aris also strapped in tight. Aris' eyes were glassy and I knew he wasn't pepared for the betrayal of Teresa.

"You remember everything, didn't you?" I asked Aris.

He looked up to me and nodded, confirming my suspision. He knew everything before he came into the Maze, much like Teresa did.

"You still on our side?"

He nodded again slowly, making me let out a sigh.

I looked out of the ship to see an outline of people running up a hill. Even the small light that the camp gave I saw the flop of blond hair.

He made it out alive.

Now it is my time to make it out alive.
