The Scorch (NewtxReader) Book 2

Chapter 7

I'm sure the face I was making was very confused, because I was. They moved me at the last place we was at to be with them; and now they are separating us from everyone else again. Even with all my doubts and against my better judgement, I walk up to the woman along with the other three. As I took in the woman's appearance I seen something I did not want to ever see again. Written on her lab coat under her name was the letters, "W.I.C.K.E.D."

"Wicked..." I whisper as I back away from the woman. "No... No! You brought us back?!" Yelling I turn to face James who surprisingly has a slightly sympathetic look on his face. "Calm down (y/n), you never even left." The woman said with a smile that made me sick. I run back to Newt and hold on to him tightly. All of the people from the 3 mazes start yelling at once. "You mean we never even escaped that hell hole?!"
"I thought we was actually safe!"
"What do you want with us?!"
"Can't you just leave us the shuck alone?!"

I'm nearly at the brink of tears, this is just too much for me. I bury my face in Newts chest trying to hide and block out what's happening around me. Then, I heard gun shots. Still holding onto to Newt, I lift my head just enough to look around and see the damage. There is at least 10 people laying on the floor bleeding. The closest person to me I see that causes me to break down into even more tears beside him is Chuck. The Chuck me and Tommy considered to be our little brother. "He was just a kid! You're monsters! How could you kill a kid?" I yell, Thomas is beside me crying harder than I was. He was closer to him then anyone in the maze. Looking around I see 2 more gladers that I didn't really know, I think their names was Rick and Gabe. I feel bad that I never really even took the time to talk to them and now I'll never get too.

"Now that you guys are quiet again, listen and do what we say and just maybe you won't end up like your friends." That snobby looking bitch from before starting talking again. I was about to run up and knock her teeth out, but Thomas stopped me. "Now if the 4 I called up here before will please come back and follow me, and the rest of you go with James and his men. Everything will work out fine." She continued. We was hesitant, but finally listened to her not wanting to risk anymore lives.

All 5 of us left and walked down a maze of hallways. No pun intended. It  was almost as bad and confusing as the maze. I eventually gave up on trying to remember the turns. Finally she stopped walking and turned to face me, Teresa, Daniel, and Aris. "You each get your own room. Aris you're in the first one, Teresa you're in the second one, Daniel you're in the third one, and (y/n) you're in the last one. Go ahead and get comfortable." She smiled and watched us go to our rooms. Entering the room and letting the door close behind me... I'm not sure if the others look the same, but there's literally nothing here and it's all white. Confused, I try to leave but realize the doors locked. Just perfect.

I stand and beat on the door for like 15 minutes and give up. I still have my watch so at least I'll know the time. Besides that I have nothing to help me. At least I have a bottle of water and a granola bar to eat that I stole before we left that last building.

Leaning up against the wall I eat and drink then decide to try and sleep. There's no bed so I lay on the cold hard floor and use my arm as a pillow. Replaying today's events in my head; finding out we didn't escape wicked, Chuck dying, just everything. I cry myself to sleep.

Newts P.O.V.:

When they call her name to take her away from me again; I want to yell, I want to hold her to me and not let her go, I want to tell her everything is going to be okay, but I can't. I can only watch her walk away from me.

When she reaches the woman, (y/n) stares at her for a minute then starts backing away from the woman, she starts yelling about how she's wicked. I'm too shocked to even react to that. Everyone else starts yelling at the same time, and (y/n) runs to me and hides her face in my chest. I hold her as tight as I can. People from all the mazes start yelling and some are even getting ready to fight, that's when I hear the gun shots. As soon as I hear the first shot I see Chuck fall to the ground a few feet in front of me. My heart instantly breaks, 'He was too young to die.' I thought. I feel my heart breaking even more when (y/n) and Thomas runs to his lifeless body and starts bawling there eyes out.

I want to go comfort her but I can't get myself to move. This is honestly worse than being in the maze. I could barely hear that damned woman talking again, it sounded muffled to me because I didn't want to hear it. I'm guessing it had to do with the people she wanted earlier because (y/n) gets up and walks to her again.

The lady takes (y/n), Daniel, Teresa, and Aris with her to the left. And the rest of those guys take us to the right. It's pretty much the same as last time. They take us to a big room with many beds. Except this time there wasn't different rooms where they separated us, but one giant room with many bunk beds for all of us to stay in. I pick my bed right below Thomas and beside Minho and Frypan. We try to get some sleep, but the whole time I couldn't stop thinking about (y/n).

One final thought ran through my head before I drifted into a dreamless sleep. 'I hope she's okay.'

A/N: You guys probably hate me right now, so I'm just gonna go.

Hopefully I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
