(9) Crazy Girls

"I never thought I'd say it.. I miss the Glade." Frypan said with a tear rolling down his cheek. You leaned into his side and nodded in agreement.

That night it stormed and it stormed a lot. The group were dehydrated and tired and as the storm chased closer, they chased the lights ahead in the mountains. Lightning struck down around them, following like fingers of death.

Minho was in awe of the stormy skies above, so much so that the lightning struck him and he wasn't aware. Thomas, Aris and Newt drag him indoors.

You and Frypan usher them in. Frypan closes the door and Teresa and the others gather around him.

You lean over them but look around at your surroundings, it's really dark so it's hard to make out but you can clearly make out the foul stench of rot. You cover your mouth as you stalk closer, further into the space.

Minho breathes again and he asks what happened, Thomas says, "You were struck by lightning-"
And Minho just chuckles and says, "Oh.. wow, cool!"

You snort at his response and sarcastically say, "Wouldn't it be ironic if after everything we've been through he died from the elements?" You laugh and Minho chuckles too as he gets up with the help of the other guys.

Teresa shines her torch at you and a crank squawks and shrieks at you. You collapse to the ground and splinter off towards the group, staying low so the crank missed you with its attacks.

Newt grabs your hand, as does Minho and they both help you up. They all stick together but you stay on the outside. "It's okay.. I'm mostly invincible.." You remind them.
"Yeah.. but still... we wanna keep you safe-" Newt said trying to sound nonchalant.
  "Alright saviour complex, keep it in your pants~" You joke back and snarkily, Minho asked,
"Can you two keep the couple squabbles to yourself? We are in REAL danger right now?!"
"Right.. yep.. sorry-" Newt apologised but then said, "CoUpLe?!"

You slap your hand over Newt's mouth to shut him up and while someone new turns on a light, lighting the entire warehouse and she says, "I see you met our guard dogs.. You guys look like shit." In the back, while everyone froze, you and Newt were peering at eachother out of the corner of your eyes. Your hand still over his mouth.

Newt licked your hand, trying to get you to let go of him but you playfully keep a hold of him. He spittily licked your hand that time and you did remove your hand from his mouth. He smirked victoriously but while you follow behind the others with the new girl, you say, "You absolute shank! I don't want your spit on my hands-" He laughed and you then add, "I want it in my mouth~" 

Newt caught onto what you meant after stopping moving a moment then blushes pink and buffers, "H-hey wait up!" He follows you and when everyone is taken up to the boss' office who talked through everything with Thomas. 

Quietly you ask the new girl, "Psst, psst!" She turns to look at you and asked, "What?" 
  "You got any tissue? This shank spat on my hand-" You pointed at your saliva-y hand.

Newt rolled his eyes at your question, looking down as he pretended to clear his throat and not be embarrassed.

"What? No.. Just wipe it on your shirt or something." She said with a bored laugh.

You shrug, "'kay." You grab Newt by the nape of his neck and splat your wet palm into his cheek. He shrieked at how gross of you that was and Thomas and the boss guy stare at you for a long moment while Newt is disgusted by his own spit on his cheek and is trying to wipe it off with the scarf around his neck.

  "What?" You asked them.

The boss narrowed his eyes at you and asked, "You have no sense of danger, do you?"
