Eternal (A Newt Fanfic)

Chapter 14

We encountered terrors in that tunnel. Far greater terrors than any of us could have imagined. We lost one. A young boy of only about 12, his head was gone and just like that, he was dead before we could even react to try stop it.

When we got to this giant staircase, the decapitating mutts struck again. This time they grabbed for Winston. We were prepared this time though and we managed to save Winston's life. He's an absolute mess though. In addition to his acne-covered face, he now has a lack of hair and his scalp is red and bleeding.

After what felt like hours, we finally got to the top of the huge staircase leading out of the flat trans. And when we got up there, I felt like turning around and taking my chances with the head-decapitating mutts. The sun burned so brightly overhead that it almost blinded me. I wasn't the only one. Looking around, I saw some boys I had never spoken to before look back at the flat-trans and I could almost hear the 'Should I go and hide back in there?' But with all of them, the thought was quickly dismissed and everyones mind was made up to go to the city we could see in the distance.

And then, without warning, we heard a voice in that sing-song voice that every single glader had nightmares about. It was Kayleigh.

"Guess who's back. Back again. Kayleigh's back. Tell a friend!"

We originally thought that she was alone until two more people appeared almost out of nowhere. Both with almost identical black hair. One I didn't recognise but the other one I did. We all did. Teresa.

It was Kayleigh so we all braced ourselves for her expected attack. Everyone that is apart from Thomas. He ran forward to Teresa and began shaking her. I could see immediately that it wasn't going to end well and I was right. When Thomas begged Teresa to talk to him, Kayleigh sighed, whipped out a knife. And without a single second of hesitation, plunged it straight into Thomas' back.

Thomas slumped to the floor in front of Teresa and lay there staring up at the sky with his blank and lifeless eyes. Kayleigh, once again showing how psychopathic she was, laughed and said,

"It was knife knowing you."

How she can make puns while being a murderer I'll never know. But, Minho wasn't going to watch his best friend get stabbed to death and the murderer wasn't going to pay. He grabbed his spear and threw it at Kayleigh. However, I think that his anger knocked his aim a bit because it comepletly missed Kayleigh but it did find home it one of her 'friends'. Teresa let out a gasp and sunk to the ground with the shaft of the spear protruding out of the gaping, bloody hole in the front of her chest. Kayleigh, as she has been with Teresa, you would have expected her to look scared, shocked or even annoyed but she seemed strangly happy. She threw her head back in laughter and uttered the words.

"I think she got the point."

And in that moment, Newt snapped. He stormed forward with his long runners knife and strode towards Kayleigh. You could tell that she wasn't expecting that. Alongside Newt, most of the other runners joined in the battle. Kayleigh shouted,

"Buckle up Olivia!"

I guess that must be what the other girl's name is. Olivia.

I don't remember much of what happened. All I remember is blood and death everywhere. I saw Chuck out of the corner of my eye fighting valiently until Olivia, in an action that almost mirrored Gally's threw a knife straight at him. Once again, my legs moved forwards without my brain telling them to. I had to save Chuck. And I did. Just as the knife was about to get to him, I jumped forward. I was lucky one, lucky in the way that it only got me in my arm but this time, it went straight into my skin and hurt. I'm telling you, it hurt like shucking hell. Everyone saw and immediately ran to my aid. The next thing I remember is blacking out.

When I woke up, the scene was carnage. There was a pile of dead bodies on fire and Kayleigh and Olivia were sitting on the desert floor tied together. There was a small group of boys with knives prepared to kill them if they made a move.

I can feel death creeping upon me. It won't be long now before it takes me. I'm almost glad. From what I've seen of the world, I'm not to excited about exporing more. I just hope that when I die, I die painlessly.

It's time for Kayleigh and Olivia's execution. It was Newt's idea, so he is going to be the one who performs it.

Newt walks over to Kayleigh first and without a flinch, pause or anything, plunges it into her heart. She's gone before her body hits the ground. Olivia, however, makes the execution difficult. Newt goes over to her and stabs her straight in the stomach. She doesn't die. She grabbed a small blade from her boot and with her dying breath, pushed it into Newt's side.

My injury suddenly didn't bother me. I sprinted (or more awkwardly shuffled) over to him. He tried to say something but I stopped him with a kiss. When I pull away, he smiles at me.

"I've been waiting for you to do that." He whispered. His breaths becoming more laboured by the second. I open my mouth to talk, but it's his turn to shush me.

"Just remember. I lov... I love yo..."

And before he can finish the final word, the grip on my hand gets weaker and his beautiful, piercing blue eyes become empty. Even though I'm already dying, I decide that my death cannot come quick enough. I close his eyelids over his eyes, grab the knife from his side. I hear a screaming of "Nooooo!" From my side, but by then it's already decided. In one final movement, my life is over and I allow the blackness to wash over me. It was beautiful tranquility. For the first time in my life, I knew what peace was.

The next time I opened my eyes, everything was white. I looked around and saw the only man I ever loved walking over to me. There was only one clear thought I could muster. Perfection. Everything was perfect

Wow! What a roller coaster this book has been. Anyway, I will be uploading more stories based on other fandoms and I may oneday write another Newt one. Not anytime soon though. So, as this book ends I have one thing to say,

WICKED is good.
