Newt & Rosa (TMR)

Damage

Prompt: The Grievers show up and destroy the Glade.

Weird things kept happening. And now the Box hadn't come up with their supplies.

"We're shucked," Newt said when he came up to her while she was working, trying to get her mind off of it until he ruined it.

"Thanks for pointing that out," She snapped, not meaning it as harshly as it came out.

"Rose we'll figure it out. I'm sure they're just messing with us or something," He said, probably referring to the people who put them there.

"Well I don't find it funny." She turned back to her weeds and continued her work.

She heard Newt sigh and walk away. A few minutes later she looked towards the map room to see him with Alby, Thomas, and Minho. They were probably talking about the problems that were happening.

Then Chuck yelled to her from the Homestead that the girl was awake. He ran over to the boys and Rosa looked at Newt, not wanting him to go in there. He didn't give her one glance as he ran into the building.

She didn't really care about what was happening in there, even though she knew she should. The girl could know something important that could help them. She went into the dead heads just to clear her head.

Time sped by, even though she didn't know how much time actually passed, and then she noticed something terrifying. The Doors hadn't closed. That had never happened before and everyone was freaking out.

Rosa eventually found Newt with Alby and she ran to them.

"Newt! What do we do?"

His head snapped immediately towards her and he grabbed her, wrapping his arms around her.

"Oh thank god," He gasped, "With everything going on and I couldn't find you. I was so worried."

She hugged him tighter, hoping their fears would disappear because they were together.

Thomas and Teresa soon ran up to them.

"They're here."

Rosa knew what that meant. She noticed people running all over the Glade.

"Grievers?"

Their mechanical arms were now grabbing for anything that they could reach.

"Thomas what do we do?" Jeff asked next to her. She had asked Newt the same question only minutes earlier. No one had an answer.

They grabbed as many weapons as they could.

"Stay close okay?" Newt asked from next to her.

She nodded, scared out of her mind. So much was happening all at once that she could barely think.

Teresa threw fire at one of them that stood in their path. They ran as fast as they could, but they didn't even know where they were going.

"Come on!" Thomas kept yelling.

Newt lightly pushed her in front of him to keep her going.

They soon ended up in one of the shacks that they had in the corner of the Glade. Everyone backed up to the wall, silence erupting in the air.

Rosa clenched Newt's hand tightly. She never wanted to let go.

The Griever was walking on top of the building, its creaking noises disrupting the silence. Its arm broke through, causing the ceiling to collapse.

Shouts filled the now small area. Newt dragged them back as the materials fell around them.

"Is everyone alright? Rose?" Newt asked them.

She quickly shook her head yes, not being able to use her voice.

The arm grabbed someone and pulled them out of the building. More shouts. Rosa shuffled back even farther, Newt waving his spear around in the air at each movement. Her hand was still connected with his other one.

The arm all of a sudden grabbed Chuck and they all hurried forward to grab him.

"Chuck don't let go!" She screamed, pulling the young boy's arm.

Alby ran up and attacked the monster, forcing it to let go of Chuck. They pulled him back in as he said thank you to the boy who saved his life.

Then Alby was being pulled out. There was no way they could save him, but they tried as hard as they could.

"Thomas. Get them out," He said before he was gone.

"Alby!"

Thomas then began to walk towards the door. Everyone tried to stop him, but of course he didn't listen. They all followed him to the outside, and what Rosa saw was awful.

The damage to the Glade and the lack of Gladers was evident. Until Gally appeared and punched Thomas, blaming him for what had happened.

Newt, along with Minho and a few others held him back. There was too much going on.

Thomas stabbed himself with the Griever serum. He wanted to remember. He was in the med-jack hut recovering.

It all seemed like a dream. Rosa was just waiting to wake up from it. But she never did.

"What if they come back?" She asked Newt later that night before bed.

He knew exactly what she was talking about.

"We have enough weapons. We can fight them off again."

They had lost so many people that night. She didn't believe they could survive another night if the Doors stayed open again.

"They're coming to kill us all."

She didn't want to be negative, but that was the only explanation she could think of.

"Well we're not gonna give up," Newt said, rubbing his hand up and down her back.

Rosa gave him a small kiss and closed her eyes.
