Newts POV

I nudged (Y/N) awake and we all got out the car,

Jorge had driven us to the city, its giant walls loomed over us as we pushed our way through the city.

We all were walking on the side of the road, we couldn't get our car much further so we were shoving our way through the crowd.

I held (Y/N) hand in mine, squeezing it tighter every time some bumped into us.

Then the road started to clear, all the people moving aside and starting to cheer at a passing car,

It was large and black and people with masks and guns sat around atop it,

The leader bellowed into a mega phone, going on about how the people should take their city back.

We ignored the trucks and followed Jorge and Thomas who were at the front with Brenda and Frypan behind them and (Y/N) and I at the back.

We all slowed down as we neared the front of the crowd, just a few blocks holding back the mass of people.

My eyes were glued to the wall, giant mounted guns were planted their with soldiers leaning over the railings watching the crowd.

That's when I felt (Y/N) give a tug on my hand, i looked over at her.

She was scanning the crowd and I followed her gaze,

Masked men were walking around, their eyes glued to us.

"...we need to warn the others..."

She whispered to me, i gave her a nod and we sped up, pushing through the people to get to Thomas and the others at the front of the crowd.

We finally got there-

But then the guns on the walls started moving,

Everyone froze, the yelling and cheering stopped and soon people were screaming and running away as the guns and soldiers took aim!

I let go of (Y/N) hand to grab Thomas and Jorges shoulders,

"We have to go!"

They nodded and we all started moving back as the guns and soldiers started firing at the crowd!

I grabbed (Y/N) wrist and sprinted to follow the others.

People were blown off their feet, knocked down, dead.

We finally made it back to the safety of the houses and shacks when-

"NEWT!"

I felt (Y/N) hand get pulled out of mine.

I spun around seeing one if those men in a mask hold her arms ti her side and pull her towards one of those dark black trucks!

"(Y/N)! Hang on-"

I went to follow then when I felt someone shove my arms behind my back!

I struggled but the man held me tight and shoved me into a different truck,

I sat back up on my knees to see two soldiers leaning against the door with guns!

Jorge and Frypan were beside me and Jorge looked really really pissed-

"WHERE IS BRENDA!?"

He jumped at the two people and the fist fight began!

Luckily the car soon stopped and the doors were opened from the outside,

Jorge jumped at the solider, the other now unconscious.

He punched him straight in the jaw, raising his fist to strike again!
