Maze Runner The Scorch Trials

Chapter 6: Walking on.

Newt asked them something then looked back at us mainly me.

"Well, that's not very convincing." He said.

He came and sat beside me.

"Does Milly look familiar to you?" I asked.

He looked at Milly for a second.

"Yeah but I don't don't know where from." He said.

"Newt I think-" I was cut off by a gunshot.

Newt looked worried and looked into my eyes.

"Are you ok?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"I'm fine too," Milly said.

We saw Thomas running towards us. I looked around and saw Winston pleading for the gun. We got up and stood around Winston. I put Milly in front of me and turned her towards me. She really shouldn't see this. Thomas asked if Winston was ok but Winston threw up a black goo. He laid down on the ground facing us.

"It's spreading inside me." He said lifting his shirt up so that we could see the black and green veins on his stomach.

I turned towards Newt a little.

"I'm not gonna make it." He said.

I looked over at Newt and saw his eyes starting to tear up. Winston held his hand out.

"Please don't let me turn into one of those, things." He said.

I went to reach for Newt's hand but he moved towards Fry Pan who had the gun.

"Newt?" I whispered as he took the gun.

Newt walked up to Winston and looked down at him before kneeling down and giving him the gun.

"Thank you," Winston said.

"Goodbye, Winston," Newt said.

I didn't notice but I was crying. Newt walked up to me and whipped the tears away. Aris took hold of Milly and I walked over to my bag. I put it on and saw Newt waiting for me to walk with him. I walked up to him and grabbed his hand.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

He nodded and we started walking off towards the mountains just walking on. Everyone followed us. We then heard a gunshot. I knew Winston was dead. I looked at Newt and saw a tear coming out of his eye. I hugged him. I looked up at him and whipped the tear away.

"I'll be fine he's in a better place," Newt said.

I hugged him again and he hugged back.

"I know," I said nodding.

We found shelter on an old rusted boat. It was night right now and we all sat around the fire. Aris came back from getting wood from inside the boat. When he put the wood into the fire he laid down and Milly laid beside him. I love how they are like family we all are.

"I thought we were supposed to be immune?" Minho asked.

"Not all of us, I guess," Teresa said.

"If Winston can get infected we should assume so can the rest of us," Newt said.

Thomas got up from his spot and walked away from the fire and sat in front of a log.

"You should talk to him," I whispered so that only he could hear.

Newt looked at me then nodded. He let go of my hand and walked over to Thomas.

"I thought I would never say it but, I miss the glade." Fry Pan said.

Everyone sat in silence until Minho broke the silence.

"Ok let's get some sleep, guys," Minho said.

Everyone nodded and laid down except Newt, Thomas, and I. Newt and Thomas walked back and Newt sat beside me. Thomas fell asleep while Newt and I looked at the fire.

"What were you going to say in the mall type thing?" I asked.

Newt looked at me confused.

"I mean about the time you tried-" He nodded.

"About the time I tried to kill myself?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Why don't we go talk over there so we don't wake anyone?" Newt asked pointing towards the log he just came from.

I nodded and we walked over to the log he sat down I sat down beside him. He had his arm where I would sit but it was on the log so when I sat down his arm was practically on my shoulder. I looked out towards the horizon, then sighed.

"I jumped off the Maze walls." He said.

I looked at him worriedly.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"I have a limp now." He said.

I nodded. He sat a little more comfortably.

"What was the best thing, I mean so far, that has happened to you?" Newt asked trying to lighten the mood.

"Getting out of the Maze and meeting you guys. You?" I asked.

"Living." He said.

"And why is that?" I asked.

"Because if I wasn't living I wouldn't have met you or anyone of these guys." He said.

He looked me straight in the eye. His facial expression was worried maybe scared. He nodded and got up he started to walk back to the fire. I got up. He turned around and I walked over to him.

"Come on let's get some sleep." He said.

I nodded and we walked back to our spot. We sat down and then he laid down. I then laid my head down on his chest. I soon fell asleep. I was in another room and I saw my younger self-drenched in water. She was sitting at a table with her brother in front of her.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked.

"Doing what?" He asked.

"Helping them when they are doing horrible things to me, how could you let them do this!" I asked.

"I'm sorry, Y/N/N, but this is what happens when you don't follow orders." He said.

"How does it feel then to watch your friends die, the friends you cared about, the friends that cared about you. How are you gonna feel when I die? Huh? Well, how are you gonna feel!" I shouted at him.

"I-I" He couldn't say anything.

"THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT NO ONE LOVES YOU NOW NOT EVEN ME YOUR OWN DAMN SISTER!" I shouted.

He couldn't speak still.

"YOU ARE PRACTICALLY KILLING ME! YOU ARE A MURDER NOT A GOOD PERSON YOU ARE NOT MY BROTHER!" I yelled.

"Y/N/N, wake up. Wake up, Y/N/N." I woke up to see Newt shaking me awake.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I looked around to see everyone getting up. I looked towards the mountains and saw that we would have to cover a lot of ground to have shelter tonight.
