What I was searching for - A Newt Fanfiction

Chapter 7: Jorge

"Jorge was expecting you" The woman says as she walks into our light. All we see is a face of a girl our age, maybe a little older then us.
As she walks away, no one follows her. No one seems to trust this mistery girl.
"Or you can stay with them if you like" She says, her voice full with sarcasm. We all glance at each other before we follow her.
I keep my habit of not looking in Newt's direction as if it was never gone. I could feel his eyes on my body as I'm fighting not to look back into his beautiful, dark brown eyes with little golden flakes inside-. And I looked at him, shit.
I quickly look away again as I start fidgeting with my hands, I had to do something at least. I was with my head somewhere completely else then the place we really were.
"Lena, come back to earth" Minho says, snapping his fingers right in front of me. I look at him in disbelieve. That wasn't really necessary, was it?
"Welcome back hermano" A man in front of us said. I couldn't help but mention that he looked pretty familiar, as if I had seen him before.
"I won't repeat what I've just said so lets look if you're tagged" he says as guards start grabbing us onto our shoulders, pushing us to the ground. The girl goes by all of us with some sort of mechanic thing, as if scanning our necks.
"Sorry hermano, looks like your tagged" the man continues.
"You came from wicked." He finally says as the guards let us all go again.
"What are you guys doing here?!" The girl asks.
" We're looking for the right arm" Thomas simply explains as I start fidgeting with my hands again. I didn't want to be part of this conversation, never.
"Then you're looking for ghosts hermano" The man says as he gives a signal to the guards who grab our arms to get us away from the others. 
Wait, they didn't take me. What do they want from me?!
"Lena, I wanted to have a little chat" the man says as I look at him in shock.
"First, how do you know my name? Second, I want to go to my friends so just hurry up or something like that" I rattle, I was stressing way to much to be functioning correctly.
"Well, Brenda why won't you check on her friends?" He says as he sends the girl away. The only ones in the room are now a guard, the man and me.
"Who are you?!" I say, my voice shaking.
"I'm Jorge, I'm impressed though. I thought I'd never see you again" The man, who' s name was Jorge, said.
"Impressed? Why? The only thing I did was run and kill to survive!" I exclaim. How could he ever say that he's impressed by a girl he never knew?!
"Before me and your mother gave you to wicked, we never thought we would see you ever again. I'm impressed you made it here, alive and healthy" He explains  quickly.
"My mother? You knew my mother?"
"More then knew, I'm your father Lena. That's why I know your name, that's why I'm impressed, no impressed isn't the right word. I'm proud of you"
I look at him in disbelieve. He? My father? I don't even look like him!
"I know you don't believe me hermano, but it's true. I would've involved your mother in this but unfortunatly she isn't here at the moment, actually she's at the right arm and if you guys are the key to the right arm, I'm not going to let that slide." He says as he quickly looks me up and down.
"You really look like your mother you know?" He finally says.
"Can I go to my friends now?" I ask as I'm starting to lose patience. I just want to get back to my friends, back to Aris and Newt.
"I was hoping you could tell me more about the right arm"
"I thought you said they were ghosts"
"I happen to believe in ghosts"
I look at him in disbelieve, first he tells us they are ghosts, then my mother is part of them and now he thinks that I know more?! I only know what I'm told; that they exist and take place in the mountains.
"I don't know anything about the right arm, only that they're in the mountains." I say, my voice low and no tune of interest in what he's saying.
"Can't you just tell me a story about what happend at wicked then?"
"Well, there were a lot of girls in the maze that they've put me in and almost half of the girls died on the way out, most of them were my foult. Oh and then we were put into some sort of rooms when we survived the maze where everyone got taken one by one to go to a 'safe place where wicked could never find us', then we found out that they were taking their blood at that safe place and there were hundreds of girls and boys just hanging there, their blood draining from their body. oh and not to mention that we've been almost shot like 30 times since we escaped the maze" I say.
"Can I go to my friends now?!" I add with a angry tune. I want to go back to them, make sure that they're okay. I can't live with the fear that they're not, especially Newt-. No Lena you don't like him, you don't. He's just a friend.
"Take her to her friends hermano" Jorge says to his guard. As I look at the guard he grabs my shoulder as he drags me to the same direction my friends went.
....
"Lena!" I heard a boy scream.
"Aris!" I screamed back. My throat hurting because of the lach of water. 
My eyes widen as my vision cleared, they were hanging upside down! I heard some whispering coming from the boys, but I couldn't manage to understand what they were saying.
"Lena, get away while you still can. Safe yourself!" I heard a britisch accent shout.
"To late for that loverboy" The guard says as he starts tying my legs together with a rope from the same material as the other were hanging onto. I just hope it doesn't break.
The man starts dragging me towards the others, where I find a hole in the ground that leads to a huge high difference between where I was standing and the next floor.
He just throws me over the edge as I let out a loud scream. I didn't want to die, not yet.
Then it felt as if my feet got ripped off my body. I hang upside down above the huge cliff. I look around me to see the boys with a annoyed look. Unlike the others Teresa's skin was pristine, almost untouched, while the others were filled with scars. I wonder what happend to them.
"Great, now we're all just hanging here on our feet while those guys are probably gonna contact wicked to get us back in" Minho says, his voice numb and out of breath. 
"You should've stayed with that guy Lena, now there's no way we get out of this" Teresa says. 
I look around, trying to find a way to get to the side and just stand on our feet again. My head is hurting so bad that I think that it could snap any minute. I wonder how the others felt.
"Well well well, you are going to tell me everything you know hermano"Jorge says as he walks in.
"And what makes you think that we know anything?!" Minho snaps back.
"Logic, you came from wicked, escaped and came here. You're looking for the right arm, am I right?"
"Yes but I thought you said they were ghosts"
"I happen to believe in ghosts"
I just looked at what was happening in front of me as I groan. How can they be this stupid to keep talking to him, HE WANTS TO GET INTO YOUR HEAD.
"How do you like it with your friends Lena!? I heard from my mates those guys were fighting for their life in mission to get to you" Jorge says. I wanted to smile but I couldn't, my head was hurting to much.
My head was trying to focus, but it didn't seem to happen. My ming kept wandering off, back to the thought that the boys would've got so beated up because they wanted to get to me. Maybe they even wanted to make sure I would be okay.
"Lena this is not the time to be messing with your mind, he asked you 6 times if you knew anything" Thomas says.
"Oh yeah don't know a thing, Aris always kept me out of everything" I answer.
He just laughed at me before he walked away.
"Oh and uhm, Lena?" Jorge says before he walks through the door.
"What" I snap back.
"I feel really bad for what I did to you, if you could forgive me I would really appreciate it"
"Don't get hope hermano" I say as I see him walk out for real this time.
I don't know why but I'm really mad at him. Yes, he's supposed to be my dad I guess but I don't get why he would give me up, give me away to wicked. It's breaking my heart that I know who my dad is and that I know who gave me up. I will never forgive him for that.
"What was that about Lena?" Newt says, his voice soft and out of breath.
"I'll tell you later, we should first figure out how to get out of this. It feels as if my head is going to explode within minutes" I say as I try to turn around towards the rest.
....
After a while we desided that Minho would push me towards a handle. We just thought it could be linked with the ropes we all are stuck onto. We desided that Minho had to push me because I was the closest to the handle. 
"Come on Minho just try a little harder, I don't even get near that handle" I say as I swing back towards Minho.
"I'm trying, you're just really havy" He responds.
I could feel Minho tensing up as he grabs my waist again. I don't know why but I still feel two eyes glued to my back, I just can't figure out who it's supposed to be.
Then I get thrown away and this time I get a lot closer then before.
"I almost had it!" I shout as I swing back and forth for some time.
Minho puts all his strength together and he pushes me away one more time and I manage to get hold of the handle.
I turn a little as I pull at the handle, the ropes immediatly getting longer then they were before. The boys shouting and screaming at the sudden change of height.
I untie my own rope as I pull the handle one more time so everyone could get to the side. 
"Come on, grab this" I say as I hold a stick towards Newt. I didn't know why but it felt as if he was the most terrified of all. I just wanted him safe.
When he grabs the stick I pull him towards me, untying his rope. When he has his feet on the ground I could hear him sigh. 
"Thank you" He whispers as he grabs a stick himself to help the others.
After not to long the others were free too and stood next to me. I look around, trying to find Aris. When I spot him I just run towards him and put him in my embrace. I haven't done that for so long, it feels like centuries. 
I close my eyes as I'm trying to remember everything that happend when we still had the girls around. I really miss them.
My eyes started to burn as they fill with water. I try so hard not to cry but I can't help it. They start to burn so bad that I can't stop myself from sobbing into Aris, my head buried in his neck.
"Lena, do you still think that it was a good choice to stay here? I haven't heard of Rachel at all since she's gone" Susan says.
"It's okay, I don't trust it here at all but I'm sure she's fine. She's strong." I say. I mentioned that I didn't say that only to comfort her, I needed it myself too. 
"You sure you're okay Lyd?" I ask Lydia, she didn't speak much. Not like she ever did but she was the reason I still felt like I should be asking everyone if they're okay. 
"Yeah, I mean Aris has it much worse for sure" She says and I let go of a breath that I didn't know I was holding in.
"Do you guys ever miss the heart?"Susan asks.
"I guess we all do, I mean we were all together. We build our own lives there. I don't think anything can be better than the heart before the grievers started showing up" I simply answer, not knowing what would be on my path.
We all stand there looking at each other, not ready to let go of each other one by one. We don't want to leave everything we build up behind and we really didn't want to die yet, so we just had to stay here, where we should be safe from anything that has something to do with wicked. Or so we were told.
We grabbed each others hands and just stood there for a while, a space left out between Lydia and Susan, for Rachel.
I could hear her talk, say something that would made us all feel better about everything that happend. I could see the way she would run around the heart, smiling and laughing as if she would never get tired. Then a tear leaves my eye, streaming down my cheek.
I look straight into Susan her eyes and she had marks on her cheeks from the tears that rolled down.
"We all miss her, we know that. We just have to own that now" Lydia says. My heart just hurts so bad, the pressure on my lungs didn't dissapear, it growed bigger and havier than it ever was.
"We just have to live our lives now, that's what she would have wanted" Susan adds. We all just stand there looking at each other, taking ourselfs to the moment where we first met her and making sure we'll never forget her. We would never forgive ourselfs if we forget her.
....
"It's okay Lena, I miss them too" Aris whispers as I break away from his hold. My eyes still red from the tears that were falling down.
"Don't worry, we miss the glade too." Frypan says with the soft voice he always seemed to have.
I just give him a slight smile as I start to walk towards Minho, Thomas, Teresa and Newt that were already walking away.
"What are you guys doing? How did you get out?!" Brenda says looking at us in shock.
"Wasn't that hard" Minho says as he tries to walk further.
"Well anyway, we need to get y'all out of here, so follow me" She says as she runs to the front, hoping that we would follow.
We all follow, not knowing what could be coming for us, and we didn't want to find out.
Then we came by Jorge again. My eyes widening as he stands there grinning at us.
I don't know what to do, I just stand there looking at the man in front of me, my hands starting to shake.
"Hey, it's okay" A brittish accent says as I feel his hand inside mine. Our fingers intertwining as we walk further towards the rest of the group.
"Just follow me" Jorge says as he grabs hold of a loop made from fabric. I look at Newt as I see Minho following Jorge as if he always trusted the guy.
"I'll be right behind you" I say as I slowly let go of his hand. I grab a loop and hand it to Newt.
I could see him hesitating as he looks at how high we actually are.
"It's fine" I say, a smile hiding how scared I really was.
Then he grabs the fabric out of my hand, walks a little backwards and then just jumps away as if there's nothing wrong.
I look at the hight difference one more time and then jump myself.
The wind through my hair, my eyes closed. When I open my eyes I'm already almost there and I start to get ready for the stop.
But then I look above me, the fabric is slowly falling apart. I still have to go a little farther and I don't know if it will hold for that long. I look at the boys already standing there to catch me.
My expression is filled with horror as I hear the fabric break further.
Then only seconds later it breaks, making me fall down. This is it, my ending.
I feel arms wrap around my waist before I could really fall down. I look up and see Minho holding Newt's legs as Newt's grip on my waist tightens.
They slowly lift me and Newt up to the surface. My eyes still filled with fear. I meet Newt's glance again and I could see the worry in his eyes, as if he wouldn't have forgiven himself if I would've fell down.
"Well that was scary" Minho says as he tries to hide his worry in his voice with a small chuckle.
"Tell me about it" I say, sarcasm filling my voice.
"Well this shank decided to jump after you, never thought you would jump from this height again Newt" Minho says, the expression on Newt's face faded from worry to regret. What could have happend? Why would he jump from this height?!
After a not so long time the rest of the group got there too. When I look around I mention that Brenda and Thomas aren't there, where could they be?
"We have to go farther, we can't stop now. Wicked will find you" Jorge says as he starts walking away.
"We can't go without them right?" Minho says. Then the building starts falling down into pieces, anyone that's in the building at that time would never be able to survive that.
"Brenda's smart, she probably went for the tunnels. For what I know I think Thomas has followed her"Jorge says as he tries to comfort us.
"Well then there's no time to waste" I say as I walk towards Jorge that already started walking away.
