Siblings of the Glade

Chapter 25: Both

Chapter 25: Both

Time: 8:30 P.M

They had been sitting under there poorly made fort for a few hours.  They had herd a Greiver a few times. They hadn't seen one since...Since Jacob was taken. 

Sonya got up and walked over to Newt. He'd been in the corner closest to the doors to the group A Glade. 

"Hey" Sonya said sympathetically. Newt looked up and said nothing. Sonya sat down next to him and crossed her legs. "You ok?" She asked. no answer. "I know Jacob was your friend, and that you miss him. But we cant let that bother us. So many friends have died i'm sure. you just have to not think about it" Her accent was thick. Newt looked at her.

"You act like you don't bloody care" was all he could get out. 

Sonya swallowed. "I didn't know the guy" 

and at that Newt snapped "He's a kid, his name is Jacob. 15 years old, A runner! thats all you bloody need to know! He's just a kid. Who couldn't remember his own name for a week. He didn't talk to anyone but me for 2 weeks. And he didn't deserve to die." Newt said angrily. Before Sonya could reply Newt got up and walked away. Sonya stayed in place. Sensing he didn't want to talk. 

Less that an hour past. Megann had built a small fire. She had flint and steel in her pack. It was so dim it barley did nothing. They had it merely to think they where getting warmer. But they all knew they weren't. They couldn't make it big and risk the chance of a Griever finding them.

Everyone was quiet. The popping of the fire was the only sound. Until...

"Help me!" They herd a voice from deep in the maze. "Help!" They herd again. They all shot up and stayed quiet to hear it again. To make sure they weren't out of their minds. They stood in silence until the sound came once more. "Help!" It was getting closer. They could not only here the screaming but a mechanical sound they now all to well. A griever was coming this way.  

They all ran to the screaming. They had to find the owner of the voice. To try and save them. Megann was in front. Being the fastest they ran to the sound and couldn't believe there eyes. 

"Jacob!" Newt yelled. The boy ran closer. He was not in good condition. He had bruises all over him. He was stung. He had a cut on his side from the stinger. There was no way he'd survive by tomorrow to get the serum.  The boy ran and before they could ask any questions a Griever can running shortly behind him. They turned around and ran as fast as their human legs could go. Sonya and megann where helping Jacob run. They had his arms around their shoulders. Newt ran right behind them. His limp getting worse the more he ran. 

They turned, corner after corner. Hoping they wouldn't get lost in the giant Maze. They left it up to Newt and Jacob to know the way. Them being the only ones who know their way around this section of the maze.

They ran on for what felt like hours. But probably wasn't more then 15 minutes. 

"Newt, Your. Leg. Ok?" Sonya said in between breaths. she looked back at him for a moment.

Newt nodded quickly. Trying not to waist energy.

They could no longer here the Griever. But no one stopped. They didn't want to be stung just cause they "Thought" the Griever was gone. they ran for about five more minutes. They all stopped at a corner. newt turned to see if the Griever had still been behind them. The Griever was gone. Newt ran to Jacob who was sitting against the wall. He wasn't looking to good. 

Newt knelt by his friends side. "Jacob?" He said. "How are you alive?" He asked. He put his hand over the wound on his side to try to stop the bleeding. 

"I- Dont know" He said. with a cough "I thought I was dead for sure. I still am. There's no way I'll survive by morning"

"You dont bloody know that" Newt said. 

"Look at me Newt!" Newt stepped back. His friend was loosing himself to the sting. He was gonna go crazy. Without the serum he'd have no choice but to- no, he cant think like that. He wasn't gonna kill his friend. Rule 2...Never harm another Glader...Unless necessary. He wasn't gone yet. He could survive. He will survive. 

"You just gotta hold on Jacob" He said. He waled over to Sonya who was standing looking down at the sick boy. Newt grabbed her arm and turned her twards him. 

"Any chance your a Med-Jack in your glade?" Newt said. 

"Afraid not. Im second in command. I do everything. But Med-Jack. That...i'm horrible at. She said. 

"Anything we can do?" Newt asked. "We cant leave him here to die. And theres no way he'll make it back to the doors" 

"We have to try an-"

"Guys!" Megann yelled. They both turned to see her holding down Jacob. He was shaking violently. 

"Jacob! Calm down alright" He said kneeling down next to him. "Calm down, You have to fight it" He helped hold him down. 

"I wont make it" He said shakily. "You have to go" 

"Not an option Greenie" Newt said. "Not leaving a shank like you behind for the Grievers." He said with a small grin. Jacob held out his hand. He pointed in the direction they needed to go. 

"Just go...Mate" He said. "I'll be fine" They all knew that wasn't true. "Newt" He said. Newt looked him in the eyes. They where surprisingly calm.  "Go" He said. And Jacob pushed his friend off him and pointed back the way they needed to go. "Go now!" He said. The sting taking over his brain. And at that Newt got up and ran away from the stung boy. Sonya followed shortly after with Megann behind her. Jacob watched as they ran into the maze. The sound of their footsteps was all he could hear. 

(Writer: DAAAANG! Thats was deep. i really like Jacob but...I didn't want their time in the maze to be boring. And I couldn't kill newt or Sonya. And I didn't want to kill Megann. But...just when you all thought he was dead before. HA! Got ya. Well he's dead now. So dont be thinking he's coming back again. But what do you all think so far? 

I am personally very excited to see how the next chapters go. Cause I have no clue XD I dont know what I'm gonna do next. But hope you enjoyed this chapter. I feel like the chapter's are getting really long. Cause I'm writing on my computer. And its a wider screen. So it looks like more. Anyway. I think I am.
