Maze Runner The Scorch Trials

Chapter 4: Bandages.

I put the clothes on and then walked out of where I was changing to see Newt sitting down with water and bandages in his hand. I walked over to him.

"Come on let's get you fixed up,"  Newt said.

I nodded and he got up walking away. I followed him. We stopped where Fry was. Newt picked up a bag and a jacket. While putting a scarf on. Come on Newt it's not the time for a fashion statement. He walked out and towards an area with couches. He sat down on one and put his stuff beside him. I sat down beside him.

"Take your jacket off." He said.

I took my jacket off and turned away from him. He lifted the back of my shirt up and then put it back down.

"I can't reach some of them, can you hold your shirt?" He asked.

I nodded and held my hand out resting on my shoulder he handed me the shirt and started to dab water on the marks. I winced once I felt them sting.

"Sorry." He said.

"So were you a caretaker in your Maze?" I asked to ignore the pain.

"Caretaker?" He asked.

"It's what we called our doctors," I said.

"Oh, and no I wasn't I was second-in-command." He said.

"Did you do anything else?" I asked.

"Worked around the glade." He said.

"And?" I asked.

He stopped cleaning my wounds. I could tell he was hesitating so I turned around.

"I was a r-runner." He said.

I nodded and we sat there.

"I still can't get the top marks." He said.

I nodded and turned back around and took my shirt off but left the sleeves still on my arms.

"What were you?" He asked.

"I was the same as you, second-in-command but before I would be around our field I was a Mapper or in your case a runner," I said.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I got stuck in the Maze and I fought grievers all night. They decided to make me work around the shunking field-" Newt's laughter made me stop.

"Sorry go on and instead of saying shunking say shucking." He said.

"You guys have way better words than we did," I said.

"Yeah, it sounds like it." He said.

It went quiet.

"The other reason they made me stay in the field is because I tried to kill myself," I said.

Newt was done now and he tried to look me in the eye. I put my shirt back on and turned to face him. I saw his facial expression, it was worried.

"You ever tried that?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Yeah, I did." He said.

I lifted the bottom part of my shirt up to reveal a scar above my hip.

"I tried with a knife Calla our leader found me before it was too late," I said.

He was about to say his until the room shone with light. We got up and grabbed out stuff. We walked back to the others. I saw a gun on the ground so I picked it up and tucked it into the back of my jeans.

"Hey what's going on?" I asked.

"I don't know," Fry said.

"Y/N/N!" Mil came and ran up to me hugging me.

"I'm better now Newt cleaned the cuts," I said.

She looked at Newt and hugged him.

"Thank you." She said.

He hugged back after a minute but then they jumped apart when we heard screaming. We all turned around to see Thomas and Minho running towards us telling us to run. I squinted my eyes and saw things chasing after them. I grabbed Newts' hand and started running. We ran through a hall then we found some old escalators.

"What are those things?" Fry asked.

"I don't know but keep going!" Minho said.

"Come on Y/N you got this just a little faster!" Newt said.

I saw Milly in front of Aris holding his hand. Mil tripped.

"MILLY!" I screamed.

She got up and started to run again.

"I'm ok!" She said.

Once we were at the top we ran beside glass walls up to my waist. I ran a little faster than Newt so I was in front of him. I felt his hand in mine one second then it was gone. I looked back to see a thing on Newt trying to hurt him.

"NEWT!" I screamed.

I ran towards him and pulled the gun out I shot the thing, put my gun back, and then grabbed Newt so he could get up.

"Come on!" I said.

"Thanks, Y/N/N!" He said.

I nodded then intertwined our fingers so that wouldn't happen again we ran the same way until we saw another thing standing in front of us I was about to grab my gun when Aris stepped out of the group with a bat and hit the thing which made it go off the edge. We started running again and we found a hallway. Thomas tried to open every door none of them worked. We got to a dead end and found a door that would open but had a very loose lock on it. Fry Pan stepped up and tried to break the lock. I walked over to Newt and hugged him.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, you?" He asked.

"Better," I said.

We let go and I went over to Mil and hugged her. I let go of her and saw that Fry had opened the door. I grabbed Newt's hand and we ran out before Winston. Thomas and Minho were there to hold the door shut as soon as we all got out.

"AAHH!" I looked around to see Winston being grabbed by the things.

"WINSTON!" I screamed turning me and Newt around to help him.

Thomas and Minho pressed against the door while Newt and I grabbed Winston. We finally got the things to not hold him anymore and picked him up. He had gained scratches on his stomach from them clawing at him. Newt and I put one of his arms each around our shoulders to keep him up. We tried to run in the new found room, it was big. We ran until we found a piece of concrete to hide under. We sat Winston down and wrapped his stomach. I held Mils' hand and Newt held me. My other hand was in Newt's hand. I was crying a bit. Newt saw and whipped the tears away.

"You ok?" He asked.

I just laid my head on his chest to calm down.

"It's ok we will get to the Right Arm. I promise." He said.
