No Stopping Now [The Scorch Trials] DISCONTINUED

Chapter Eleven

Chapter Eleven: Firestarter.

“Katherine! Minho!” Thomas yelled and ran towards his fallen lover and best friend.

Thomas was too weak to even pick up Katherine, the fear of losing Katherine made his chest tighten and his bones weaken.

Someone grabbed Thomas and shook him roughly.

Newt.

The blonde stared at Thomas with wide eyes and grabbed Katherine bridal style, he kept shouting at Thomas, but with all the chaos around them he could only make out a few things.

“I. . . Katherine. . . You. . . Help. . . Aris. . . Minho.”

Thomas nodded and stumbled over to Aris, he slung one of Minho’s arms over his shoulder and Aris did the same.

They struggled with the extra weight but managed to drag him inside the warehouse safely.

They set the two of them down gently on the ground and Thomas immediately took Katherine in his arms.

Newt flashes the flashlight on Katherine. Her clothes were slightly blackened and ragged. And the some flesh on her left bicep was charred and badly burned.

Newt searched his backpack and took out some bandages.

Thomas closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them back up, Newt was wrapping Katherine’s entire bicep in bandages.

Thomas watched as Diana shook Minho roughly, “Minho! Wake up, you moron! You better not be dead!” Diana snapped.

Thomas looked back at Katherine and began to shake her, “Katherine, Katherine, wake up.” He whispered weakly.

Then Thomas jumped in surprise when he heard the rather familiar sound of a slap, he turns to Diana.

‘Did she really just slap Minho?’

Minho groans and opens his eyes, “What happened?” He slurs, then touches his cheek.

He hisses in pain and looks around at us, “Who the shuck just hit me?”

“Me. . .” Diana says and grins at him.

“Oh. . .”

“Oh?” Newt repeats and raises a surprised eyebrow.

“Yeah, oh.” Minho snaps at him. “As in, okay, shank.”

Newt smirks and chuckles while putting his hands up in surrender, then he glances back at Katherine briefly.

His smile quickly fading away, “Slap her,” Newt says suddenly while staring back between Diana and Minho strangely.

“What?” Thomas asks incredulously.

“Slap her,” Newt repeats and looks at Thomas seriously.

Thomas looked at Katherine and gently smacked her cheek. Nothing.

Then he did it again with jut a tiny bit more force. Nothing.

Then again. Nothing.

“Oh, for crying out loud, Thomas!” Diana cries in exasperation and punches Katherine straight across the face.

“That didn’t work, maybe you should do it again—”

Katherine jolts awake and punches Thomas square on the nose instinctively, Thomas falls back and holds his face with a small cry of pain.
