Not just a Girl || Newt

Chapter 56

"Hi." I gave him a wave, slowly standing before Thomas to hide his back.

"Where do you think you are going?" Newt walked up towards us and literally moved me away from Thomas. He scanned his bag and Thomas and I closely.

"Don't be a twat about it." He took the bag from Thomas' grip. "I am already in, for her safety."

I rolled my eyes when Newt started walking away. I grabbed one of my throwing knives and threw it passed his head, hitting the doorframe where he was walking towards.

He turned around to me with a scared look on his face. I walked to him and grabbed the knife out of the door and through it.

I quickly turned around to him.

"You and I both know I don't need protection."

"She is killing me sometimes when she is like that." I heard Newt say behind me when I started walking towards a car.

"Well you have decided to call her a Killer. Don't come crying to me when that comes true."

I wanted to laugh at that, but screamed when I opened the drivers seat to see no other than Frypan sitting there.

"God damnit, Frypan!"

He started laughing so hard he almost fell out of the car. I pushed him straight in the seat and walked towards the other side. If I can't drive I will sit shotgun.

"Shotgun!" Newt yelled behind me, but I was quicker.

I ran around pulling the door behind me close. He opened the car door to see me happily sitting in the seat.

"No." He simply said and went to pull me out of the car.

I grabbed his arm and simply twisted it around.

"No." I said back to him and pushed him away, pulling the car door closed.

I saw Newt's defeated look on his face as he made it towards the backseat.

Me and Frypan both smiled at each other at the same time, before bursting out in laughter.

We eventually started to drive in the dark night. Finding the camp far gone by now.

We were driving for an hour now, me looking back to Newt with a smirk on my lips.

We eventually made our way into a dark tunnel that went through a mountain. Cars were all over the place, some were bashed against the wall. Some were just abandoned in the middle of the road.

I heard a growl making me look out front. A crank stood before us. It started to slowly move towards us with a limp. The headlights of the car giving me really a front seat for this view.

"It is just one, drive around." Thomas told Frypan. "Slowly."

A loud bang was heard behind me and I turned in my seat to look through the window where Thomas was.

"Help me." A woman with blond hair said. Purple veins were travelling from below her neck all the way up towards her head.

Another bang was heard on my window and I saw a crank opening its disgusting mouth, making me jump a little bit.

"Drive!" I yelled at Frypan when at least 4 other cranks jumped on our car, making the car slightly shift from left to right.

Frypan pushed the peddle and with a high speed we drove off. A crank quickly jumped up on the windshield banging its fist against it, making it crack.

"Stop driving as a pussy and shake that thing!" I yelled out to Frypan.

He turned the steering wheel to the right hitting the crank off. I turned back to look at the creature to see it struggling to get up.

"God, I hate those things." I told them, my eyes connecting with Newt.

He slowly nodded in agreement, but it seemed that his mind was somewhere else.

"Watch out!" Thomas yelled making me look back to the front.

I was to slow to realise what happened, but I felt the car tilt to the left side. I held up my arms over my head, waiting for the impact.

Glass flew around the car as it made impact with the ground.

I quickly unbuckled myself and crawled out of the car. I felt small cuts around my arm, but I dismissed them.

Thomas quickly followed, but I still saw Newt struggling. I went to help him, but he pushed my hands away.

I collected myself and let him do it himself. It took him a little longer than I expected it.

A shriek was heard, making me turn to see a crank slowly making its way towards us. I grabbed one of my throwing knives and threw it. Hitting the crank right in the head, dropping onto the ground dead.

Another after another came. Knives flying through the dusty air. I heard a shot from my right to see Frypan shooting cranks from left and right with the gun I had found. I went to grab another knife, but only felt the air.

"Fuck, I am out." I told the group at the same time that Frypan shot his last bullet.

"Me too."

Our back hit each other, forming a small circle. I grabbed Newt's soft hand, connecting them. At least I will be with him.

The purring sound of an engine was heard and I saw cranks flying around. No other than fucking Bertha came into view.

The window rolled down and I saw Brenda and Jorge sitting behind the wheel.

"What, are you guys waiting to become crank food or something?" Jorge said to us.

With a quick glance around the group, I made my way and sat down behind Brenda. I patted her shoulder with my hand, silently saying 'thank you'.
