My Last Request- Newt Death Cure

25

Everyone decided to settle down already. The sun was almost setting and everyone had this 'beat up' feeling.

They ran for almost five hours and there was no sign of the cranks fron earlier. Which was a thing that everyone was thankful for.

Skylar sat alone under the shade of a half burnt tree, and ate some mangoes which she got along the way.

The others were doing the same. Newt was having a conversation with Jarvis a few trees away from her.

Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine that I'll survive something like that. She was having some time for herself while eating. If I was still the same person before all the chaos started, I'll probably be dead by now.

Her left shoulder ache again. She pressed her hand on it and shut her eyes. And I think I'll probably will be in a few more days.

"Don't bloody leave me please" "Not because I need something from you anymore, but you're the only one I have left."

Those words kept replaying in her head.

I guess he isn't using me for the bliss anymore. He isn't saving and protecting me for that. A smile crooked on her face. Although she already knew this in the previous days, she wasn't sure about it. Until she heard it out of his mouth. He's also the only one that I have left. And I'm glad that we're starting something again. Even if it's just friendship. 

That boy saved me countless of times already. And if it wasn't for him, I could've died a long time ago already.

A memory flashed in her minds eye. It was the very first time that he saved me from something.

A year had past since she met Newt. And their friendship grew each passing day.

It was already passed midnight. And everyone were already in bed. Except for her and Newt.

Since he thought her a lot of things now, it's time for her to teach him what she knows. They made a deal about this a few days ago.

Skylar chose to teach him the art of cooking. And since Newt wasn't allowed in the kitchen, they snicked up at midnight.

"So what kind of bloody soup is this anyway?" He watched her prepare the ingredients.

"Chicken" She answered while taking out the frozen chicken from the freezer.

"Does it contain those nasty veggies that you guys make?" His eyes scanned the ingredients.

Skylar couldn't help but laugh. "A few but don't worry you won't even taste it!" She placed the knife beside him. "Now can you be a goodboy and make tiny bits of these?"

After a few minutes of preparation, Skylar gestured Newt to her side. She was teaching him how to operate the stove.

"So you'll have to click it here and there. And lower the fire." She instructed. Newt got lost at first, but he soon did it.

The two of them sat on a table a few feet away from the stove. "That isn't so hard right?"

"I guess not" He laughed. "Maybe ya' should check it out now."

"Right" She jumped from the table and walked towards their dish. "It's done! I just need to taste it." She grabbed the boiler's handle and placed it on a shelf.

"Now I just need to find where I placed the spoon." She went under the shelf and scanned the area.

"SKYLAR WATCH OUT!"

Newt jumped infront of her and pushed her to side. Causing her to stumble into tiled floor. Then a sequel of 'cling-clong' was heard.

"Bloody" Skylar got on her feet and observed what just had happened.
