Runner Runner (Newt)

bitten

"I don't know." There was ivy everywhere vines hang off the walls creating a tree like plants in the middle of the tunnel. How could this happen? A scream out from the tunnel we stepped back and saw a rat. Brenda kicked it.

"Jesus." She shrieks. We watch as the rat travels down towards the ivy and trees.

"Gross." I mumbled.

One of the creatures that blended into the ivy picked it up and ate it. It detached itself from the ivy coming after us. There was more then just one creature. They were coming out everywhere. We took off running.

"Go go go! Look out. Come on! Keep going!" Thomas yelled for us to run. As soon as we got out of the tunnel we ended up outside on a cliff. Thomas pulled me back before I ran right off of it. This shit is too much. I had my fair share of problems with heights. Two buildings were crashing into each other but state still. It looked steady somewhat. At least for us to be on it. We could hear the creatures down the tunnel coming our way.

"Come on, this way! Thomas! Ember! Come on!" Brenda yelled for us to climb up the building. Stupid heights get the best of me. I was right behind Brenda trying to breath.

I climbed as fast as I could. Glass was shattered all over the place broken pieces of building was everywhere. The creatures were right behind us as one of them fell off the cliff. They climbed up right after us. We got to the end and went inside an area where they were beams everywhere.

"Okay, Go. Go." Brenda yelled. We started to climb up them. No. Please don't make me go higher.

"Watch out!" Brenda's voice echoed. A metal box came flying past my face down to the creatures.

It took one of them down shattering the glass wall of another building. Don't look down Ember. We climbed into a building going round and round and round going sideways going forward walking upside down holding on to the railing so we don't fall backwards and into the creatures that were behind us. They climbed faster then us. Brenda turns around to kick the creature in the face as it falls back down. We went around another corner but Brenda grabs onto the wrong railing. She pulls it, falls backwards into a door frame and right into a window. That held her from falling out of the building. One wrong move she would hit the ground that was thousands of feet under us. Stupid heights don't look. Pay attention to see if those creature things are coming.

"Brenda!" Thomas and I yelled.

"You okay?" Thomas yelled. I hold on to the door way with him leaning on it.

"Yeah." She responded.

"Alright. Hang on. I'm going to find a way down." He slides down holding on to something as she tries to stand up.

"Tommy be careful." I whispered.

"Don't move. Come on. Grab my hand." Thomas yells. Then the creature makes it up the hallway. What do I do?

"Thomas!" I yelled. The creature stares at me the lunges after me as I try to dodge it. We both go falling next to Brenda. Oh my god. I am standing on thin glass that could shatter from a thousand feet off the ground. I don't want to fall.

"No, no, no!" Thomas yells reaching for something. The creatures grabs me holding me down, trying to choke the life out of me. I push up against its chest. We were on the glass wall as Brenda tried to stand up. I couldn't breath. My lungs craved oxygen.

"Thomas!" Brenda shouted. The glass started to crack. No. Please. This is how it ends. I'm never going to see Newt again. I'm never going to see Luna again. My breathing picks up or what air I could get. I was having a panic attack.

"I'm going to get to you guys." Thomas yelled jumping on to the glass. Brenda moved around causing the creature to look at her. He grabs onto her throwing up against the glass window. Thomas pulls me up next to him then grabs Brenda breaking the glass we were standing on. The creature falls hitting the ground as Brenda swings off the ledge. It brings back memories of how much I hate heights and when we were in the first building after we escaped WCKD the first time. Newt holding on to me like that.

"I got you." Thomas said.

"We can get down here. Come on." We climb down the stairs and hit the ground. We walk down an alleyway and Brenda stops right behind us dropping her bag getting something out of it.

"Did you hear that? You alright?" Thomas turns to look at her. She rolled up her pants leg and there was a bloody bite mark.

Shit." Brenda started to tear up. We stared at her not sure what to do. She will end up like Winston.

"Bitten." I whispered.

"Yeah, I know. Let's just go find Marcus." She finishes wrapping her leg as we start to walk again. I miss Newt and this was killing me slowly not being able to see him hurts. I need him. I need to find my Luna too. She is probably scared asking Newt where I was.
