Runner Runner (Newt)

"Whats going on?" Winston questioned.

"I don't know." Fry replied.

"Someone is screaming. Where is my Asian and Tommy?" I asked.

"Hey! Run! Hey!" Thomas and Minho shouted. Their were people like creatures screaming chasing after Thomas and Minho. What the hell is going on? We all took off running all over the place.

"Oh shit." I gasped.

"Come on! Get out of here!" The boys tell us. We run up the stairs as the people run after us.

"Thomas, Minho. What the hell are those things?" Winston yelled.

"I don't know!" Minho screams back.

"Just keep going!" Thomas shouts.

"Move! Move! Keep up! Come on. Let's go." We get to the top and stop. I run straight into Teresa.

"What the hell?" I breathed. One of the people were upstairs we went to turn around but the crowd of them were right behind us. Aris took out his machete and charged at it.

"No no no. Aris, no! No!" Aris attacks the creatures and more come out of no where.

Something grabs my ankle pulling me to the ground as the creature climbs on top of me. I used my strength to push it off me but it was stronger. Its teeth snapped in my face. I kneed it in the stomach, got up and took off running again.

"Ember!" Newt sputtered.

"I'm alright keep going." I yelled after him. Everyone was ahead of me.

"Where are we going to go?!" We went down a long hallway as the things chased us. I caught up to Newt grabbing his hand as we ran.

"We got to find a way out of here."

"Go! Faster. Faster!" Aris cursed.

All of a sudden I felt something fall on me as Newt and I hit the ground rolling over against the glass wall that stopped me from falling. Two of those creature things were on top of Newt and I. I wrestled it to the ground as it tried to bite me. It had a grip on my shirt and wouldn't let go. Its face was dirty, wet and old. Covered in purple and blue veins as if it were stung by a griever. Spraying a black goo on me.

"Newt! Ember!" I hear our ground call for us.

Somebody kicked the creature off of Newt as it went flying up against the glass breaking it, the only thing that kept me from falling off. I started to slide off the edge as the creature snapped its teeth at me. I grabbed it by the arm and kick it off the ledge. I didn't realize it still had a hold on my shirt. We both went off the ledge but something grabbed my wrist. Newt was standing on the ledge holding my wrist as I was dangling off it with this creature thing hanging on to my clothes. Heights, I hate them so much. Don't look down. I had a sickening feeling going through me. I took my free hand and reached for my gun but if I let go I would fall. Shit. So I held onto the ledge of where the broken glass was. Great choice Ember. Brilliant. It went right through but I didn't feel any pain. The only thing I was focused on was not dying.

"Newt! Please don't drop me." I started to have a panic attack. The creature wouldn't let go in fact it was crawling up me.

"Hold on." Newt yelled as he started to swing me from the ledge to out in the open. Oh god no. Please. My heart rate was zooming all over the place. I let go of the ledge as Newt swings me faster. Soon the creature lost grip falling to the never ending abyss.

"Thank god you are alright." He pulled me up as we took off running again.

"Come on! Come on!" They called us as we caught up with the group.

"Through here! Through here! Let's go! They're coming!" Minho shouted. We ran into a hallway like maze. These mazes again, seriously?

"Guys, Where are we going?" Newt panics as the creatures close in on us.

"Keep it up! Go, go! Come on. Keep going! Come on, they're coming!" Teresa yells. We got to the end of the hall only to find the doors locked.

"It's a dead end!" We tried to open the doors but couldn't.

"Get us out of here, Thomas!" Teresa screamed.

"This way! Go!" Thomas roars as he kicks the door down.

"I'll hold them back!" Winston took out a gun and started shooting at the creatures. I took my gun out and shots rang out in the room. Each one that was getting closer it had a bullet go right through them. When they finally got the door open we bursted through it as the creatures got to us. They grabbed Winston.

"Get off me! Help!" He yells. I snatch up his hand and pull.

"Keep pulling." They pulled Winston out I leaned up against the door to help contain the creatures. They took Winston and ran leaving Thomas, Minho and I.

"Minho, Ember, go. I'm right behind you." He pleaded with us.

"Let's go, let's go!" Minho pushes me forward and took off running. We kept running until I felt a pair of hands grab me. They pulled me under some rocks as I kicked them in the groin.

"Ember!" A hushed voice spoke. It sounded a lot like Aris. The one that had its arms on me fell. It was fry.

"Oh my god fry, I am so sorry." I kneeled down beside him but he nodded his head.

"I'm fine. Just need a moment." He gasped for air. I felt my self being picked up off the ground. Newt pulled me into a hug.

"I'm so glad your ok. I thought I lost you at the glass wall." He buried his face into my neck. He was worried about me? I was fine. He could have gotten hurt. I could have lost Newt.

"Me? I was worried about you, that thing was too close to you. How dare you try to play the hero and save me when you could have gotten your self killed." I argued.

"Newt I don't know what I would do without you. If something had happened." My voice trembled.

"But it didn't." He started.

"But it could have." I sighed. He lifted my chin up and kissed me. It was a kiss that said everything was going to be alright. He broke the kiss and rest his forehead against mine.

"Lets get some rest. Ok?" I could feel his breath on mine. Nodding my head in agreement. Everyone was already getting cozy. As I rest my head on Newts chest feeling his stead heartbeat. I look up at the twinkling stars. Even in the worse situations you find the good things.
