The Scorch Girl// Book 2// Newt TMR Fanfic

Chapter 7

"Anyone hurt?" Michael yells out once the griever stopped moving.

"All good" both AJ and I call out. My hands let go of the ladder as I suck in air.

AJ grabs me by the shoulders, "You Ok?" She asks. I nod my head,

"Let's Go" She mutters.

"How are we gonna get out?" You began, "cause the shucking ladder is ten inches deep in griever flesh?"

"We pull it out?" My brother answers. A flashlight flickers on and shines in my face, I cover my face with my hands out of pure instinct. I look over to the griever where the flashlight was being shone,

"There's no way we're getting that out" I remark.

"Guys, we don't need the ladder" You hear AJs voice chime. I look up and see her already dangling from the entrance.

She swiftly swings her body to the left, the lever spinning an inch with her. She repeats it at least ten times before looking at us,

"Push my feet so we can get it open" he huffs.

I look at Michael who was looking at me before we both rush to grab her feet.

"1,2...3!" Michael yells, I push from my knees as does Michael, there was a squeal of disagreement from the metal before it was pushed open.

Trails of sand piled in, "Ah crap it's hot!" AJ yells as she pulls herself up and out.

The light from above floods in through the entrance, illuminating everything yet stopping a few metres down from where we came.

AJ's hand reaches down and Michael grabs a hold, she pulls him up almost effortlessly.

This seemed too easy

I look up to see both AJ and Michael reaching for me. I grab them and let them pull me up, my body taken aback from the sudden heat that heat me like a truck.

"Rose, put the rim of your shirt over the back of your neck" Michael commands, I do as he says and stand up. The hot dance becoming unbearable.

"Which way?" I question.

"See that building all the way in the distance" AJ points, sure enough there was. It looked as though it had seen better days, but it also looked so far away.

"We're headed, there?" I Answer.

AJ simply nods,

"Gotta get a move on if we want to get there before dark" Michael interjects.
~~~
I couldn't stop wondering about Newt. I didn't know if he was safe, I could only hope he was.

"Rose! Are you alive, are you ok?"

The voice sounded like Thomas, yet it was in my head. I felt confused, I thought maybe the heat was getting to me, messing with my brain.

I furrow my eyebrows, what? I reply in my head,

So it works, I thought it was you

My confusion climbing higher, was I imagining things?

You really need to teach me how to control this klunk I thought in my head,

I'll explain later so don't die

With that the voice stopped, my confusion however didn't stop.

Michael brings me from my haze,

"Rose! Pay attention, we have to go" Michael interrupts. I nod my head,

I cut off my thoughts and pick up my pace, hopefully if they're also in a tunnel then our paths will cross sooner or later.

"It's getting dark, we'll have to sleep out in the open" Icall out. As if on cue a constant scream begins out in the distance. I jump from shock, the intensity of the sun had died down.

My knees give way and I fall to the sand.  I didn't know how long everything had been building up to end this way but I'm sure that if I knew, I wouldn't want to anymore.

"Fine, we'll just rest. There isn't much to do" Michael reluctantly sits down beside you.

"Don't worry, we'll catch up with them soon"

So this is practically where I stray from the book, although this is technically already different from the book when you introduce Rose.

Apart from that, there are still two more characters to come from the competition. I've almost finished profiling them, so stay tuneed.

I'm missing the Newt and Rose duo already.

I also just finished watching the Death Cure movie and boy I'm in the feels. Page 250 y'all, I'm conflicted on whether you know what will be in my story or to parallel it

Bye for now lovelies ❤️
