The One - Newt x Reader Book 2

Chapter 9

Newt's P.O.V.

I jumped forward and grabbed onto the first part of Y/n that I could reach. Several flashlights were pointed at us as I managed to grab a fistful of her jacket. I pulled her back to the group as fast as I could.

Y/n fell into my arms with another yelp. A hand reached out for us from the darkness as I pulled Y/n into my chest and backed away.

The hand looked... odd. It wasn't... normal?

Then a person jumped forward from the darkness, screeching and reaching out for the group. I pushed Y/n so she was standing behind me and looked at the person running at us. It was a crank, and it was reaching out for us. Y/n had a death grip on my sleeve as the crank ran at us.

But then it stopped. It was being held back. We backed away and heard a screech from behind us. We all turned and saw another one coming for us. Chuck grabbed onto Y/n's hand and she pulled him to her, sheltering him with herself. We backed away, being careful not to get too close to the other one.

The next thing I know, they're coming from all directions. We all bunched together in the middle with a yell. 

Then a light came on. 

It was on the opposite side of the room from the door we came through. There was a girl under the light, and she was standing in front of a doorway.

We watched in silence as she stepped forward, staying just out of reach from the cranks. 

"I see you've met the guard dogs," she said with a small smirk. 

"Who are you?" Minho demanded.

She just shook her head and smiled. She turned around and started walking back to the doorway. 

"Come on, Jorge wants to meet you," she said as she started walking.

Nobody moved.

She turned back to us and sighed. 

"Unless you wanna stay with them..." she trailed off as she motioned to the cranks surrounding us. 

"Let's just see what he has to say," Thomas whispered to us.

Thomas walked after the girl, followed by Minho, Teresa, Chuck, Y/n, Me, Frypan, and Finnick. She led us past a bunch of old and creepy looking people. After a few minutes, we came to a door. She looked back at us and opened the door, motioning for us to follow her.

Y/n's P.O.V.

We walked into the room and saw a guy waiting on the other side of the room, in front of another door. 

"Let him know that they're here," she said to him. He nodded and walked into the other room, shutting the door behind him.

The girl cleared her throat. 

"Alright, it'll be a minute. Why don't you guys sit or something?" She said, motioning to the chairs around the room.

It was a pretty small room with a table in the middle and chairs all over the place. I walked up to the table and examined it, feeling it with my hand. It was pretty fancy. Why would they have such a nice, beautiful table in the middle of a rundown building like this one?
