• The Maze Runner: The New Beginning •

Chapter 4

It felt like forever but actually it lasted only few minutes. The old memories came back, then Thomas stepped away but his hands still layed on Newt's shoulders.

,,I'm so...happy right now." Thomas said. ,, Actually, there aren't enough words to describe how happy I am...right now."

Newt smiled. ,,Me too."

,,Do you want to meet with the others? We have some new faces here."

,,Sure." Newt nodded. Thomas opened the door and they walked out. Few people walked past them but they didn't recognize Newt.

Then, Newt saw few familiar faces.

Frypan.

Brenda.

Gally.

All three stood next to another house and listened to Minho.

,,I'm nervous." Newt admitted. ,,Like, really, really nervous."

,,It's fine. Come on." Thomas pushed Newt in front of him. ,,Move."

As soon they've walked few steps, Gally turned his head and froze. Brenda was next. And then Frypan.

,,What the...?"

,,You schuckface!"

,,Thomas...would you...explain this to us?" Brenda asked when two boys came closer to them.

Thomas smirked and gave the talking line to Newt who seemed to be very nervous.

,,Umm...hey guys."

Frypan's mouth was still open. Boy closed it and asked suprisely:
,,How the hell can he be alive?"

,,Maybe he wasn't killed." Gally offered.

,,No...Tommy...shot me." Newt said. He felt how Thomas next to him froze. This was a bad memory.

,,What?" Everyone asked suprisely. Then they started talking at the same time.

,,You shot him?"

,,How the hell he can be alive?"

,,What?"

Few other people who recognized Newt, came closer and started asking questions.

,,I don't get it."

,,Is this another WICKED's test?"

,,Newt?"

,,Thomas, explain!"

,,Shut up!" Minho yelled. ,,Shut up! You all! Okay?"

It took about five minutes for everyone to shut up.

,,Okay...Me neither don't have no god damn idea, how this shank is alive. But, I'm glad he is alive."

Minho's speech seemed to calm everyone down.

,,So, deal with your own things and give him some space. Ok?"

Everyone nodded.

People walked away and Thomas felt how Newt hanged with relief.

,,You okay?" He asked.

Newt nodded. Then he looked up and saw Gally's, Frypan's and Brenda's faces.

,,So umm...you guys had questions for me?"

,,Newt, you don't have to-"

Newt raised his hand to give Thomas a sign that he had to shut up.

,,I understand them. Let them ask."
