The War Of The Wall - The Death Cure - Newt

Chapter 4 shard

The sun rose about an hour ago. We are pulling into this weird um tunnel sort of thing. Very dark down there.

"I don't want to come across as depressing or anything, but if I was a crank that is definitely where I would be" Newt says. I chuckle to myself but apart from that we are all silent. "Alright I get shotgun" Newt says walking back to the car. 

I am just about to walk back to the car when something shiny glistene in my eye. What the hell is that. I walk over to the source of the light to find a mirror shard. Something is off about this mirror shard though, it's special. I can feel it. I pick it up and shove it in my pocket. 

"Come on" Tom says, I turn back and run towards the car. I climb in ungracefully. I begin to fiddle with the mirror shard. It's not very big, but I know it's important. I saw it for a reason.  

The car slowly begins to move. Tom and Fry start talking but I'm not sure what about. I can't hear them, not very well at least. It's like I'm underwater, all of the noise is still there but it's muffled and quite. I can only hear one thing, the same thing ringing in my ears over and over again. 

"Fire, jump, death" 

Just those three words, over and over again. Except every time it repeats more people are saying it. Louder, and louder, more and more. I begin to rub my temples. This must have something to do with the mirror shard. It must, it only started once I took the shard. 

We keep going slowly down the tunnel. The further we get the quiter the voices get, thank god they are going away. I always get worried that they won't go away and I'll be cursed to listen to them forever.

"Raylea, be prepared" Cluslirchs voice rings in my head. Extremely loudly might I add, I almost want to cover my ears.

I want to ask what to be prepared for but I can't with Tommy, Fry and Newt with me. Great that's so much helpful. 

"Guys be prepared" I tell the guys, maybe if I pass on the message it will be easier to follow out. 

"For what?" Newt asks.

"Anything you never know what's down here" I say, trying my best to sound like I know what I'm talking about when really I don't. 

We drive a little further when something catches my eye. A dark figure.

"Guys What's that?" Frypan asks pointing out of the car towards the dark figure. It takes me a few seconds to realise what I'm looking at. It's a ...

"Crank" Newt mutters, I sqeeze my eyes shut, I just know this isn't going to end well. One of us is probably going to end up dead or something horrible. 

"What do I do?" Fry asks. I look at Tom for the answer. But he's silent. 

"Okay Frypan go slow and drive around it" Newt tells him. But before Frypan can move I see something move out of the corner of my eye. I look but nothing's there. I don't think there is anything there anyway.
