Runner Runner (Newt)

I missed you

I was in a house. But it felt like my house. Was it my house? I was washing the dishes, it was daylight outside watching a little girl playing on a swing. She had blonde hair long, stopped at her mid back. She has bright blue eyes. She looked just like Luna. She wore a pink sweater, black leggings and brown boots. I look down and watch the cup in my hand setting it in the dish rack. When I look back up the girl was gone.

"Luna?" I called after the girl. So it is Luna. I ran out of the house looking for the her.

"Luna honey where are you?" I called.

I turn around the house and see a nicely dressed man holding Luna in his hands. It was Newt. His blond hair shined bright in the sunlight.

"Daddy is home, mommy." Luna looked over at me. Smiling at the sight of that. Newt then glanced at me. Fear spread across hid face. 

"Ember look out!" I turn around and there was the creature behind me.

I tried to run but couldn't. The creature climbs on top biting me. All in the background I could hear was screaming of from the Luna and a shouting Newt.

I woke up screaming then being held by someone. It was bright as could be. How did I get here? Where am I? Who was holding me? I pull away from the person and look up at them. Newt.

"I thought I would never find you. Did they hurt you? I'm so sorry. I should have let you go first. God dammit. You had me worried sick." He stuttered over his words.

"I'm so sorry Newt." I started to cry clinging onto his jacket.

"Luna found you laying on the floor. Teresa found Thomas. Jorge found Brenda. I didn't know if you were breathing." He looked into my eyes.

"I was scared the whole place went down on us. Then we went through the tunnels those things followed us we went through a building. Then that mad house. All I was think was to find you. That was my only option. Wait, where is Luna?" I let go of him.

"We are here fiery girl." Minho looks up at us. With Luna in his lap. I didn't realize that we were in the same room as everyone else. I looked around the room to see all the faces. To see if anyone was missing. Everyone was here. Except for Thomas he was still knocked out, Teresa looking after him. But there was a plus one. The man that made us drink. He was tied to a chair.

"Oh thank god." I smiled. Luna gets down from Minho's lap running straight for me. She hits hard into my chest.

"Ember!" She buries her face into my shoulder as Newt rest his hand on the other.

I picked up Luna and walked over to a chair. Newt sat on the arm of the chair. Next to us was Jorge and the man that made us drink. A little while after Thomas was waking up.

"I suggest that you talk, you son of a bitch!" Jorge hits the guy tied to the chair. He already looks like he has taken a couple of hits. I covered Luna's eyes so she wouldn't have to see.

"I'm sorry, you're going to have to leave my house." The guy said.

"Looks like you've been having fun." Newt looks over at Thomas.

"Listen. I don't enjoy hurting you. Okay? Where is the Right Arm, Marcus?" Jorge implied.

"Wait. This is Marcus?" Thomas asked.

"He lied." I said bored toned. I knew something was off with this guy.

"That kid catches on quick. Hey. Are you the brains of the operation?" He laughed. He looked a bit insane the fact he looks dead and laughing.

"I know, you know where they are hiding. So, you tell me and I'll make you a deal. You can come with us." Marcus started laughing again.

"I burned that bridge a long time. Besides, I make my own deal. You're the one who taught me never miss an opportunity." Marcus chuckles.

"What's he talking about?" Newt asked. How is he ok with beating this man to death? I look at Newt to see a difference. There was. Newt was not the soft and sweet man I loved. This person was different. He was like a rock unemotional.

"I'm talking about supply and demand. WCKD wants all the immunes they can get. I help provide that for them. So, I lure the kids in, they get drunk, they have a good time and then later, WCKD comes in they separate the wheat from the chaff." He laughed. Ok he totally deserves being dead. This is how we are chosen to be in the maze right? Is that what he saying?

"I change my mind, hermano." Jorge reaches in his back pocket flashing out a gun.

"Talk! Talk!" He shoves the gun in his face. The finger on the trigger.

I push Luna into my chest walking away from the scene. She did not need to see this. As we walk into another room I set Luna on the bed.

"Ember." Luna ask.

"Yes baby whats wrong?" I look down at her. Something seemed to trouble this child.

"I won't see my mommy again will I?" She look at me. I didn't know what to say. Be truthful or lie?

"No honey. Newt and I are going to take care of you now." I brush the hair out of her eyes.

"Can I call you mommy?" She smiled. I felt my heart skip a beat. She wanted to call me mommy?

"Yes." I felt a tear slip down my face as I hug this child. My child.
