Warrior's Fortune //Newt (Book 1)

Chapter 7

✨ Edited ✨

I'm so sorry I don't mean to be having so many time skips I'm just trying to move the story along for bigger things.
2 weeks later...

"Taylor!" My name was shouted causing me to roll out of Bed groaning.

"Minho I swear to God." I growled. "Sorry your boyfriend told me to wake you up."

My head snapped towards him. "He's not my boyfriend." Minho cheekily smiled and left the room so I could get dressed.

I walked out my shack to see the boys grabbing this weeks load. It was the beginning of a new week.

Which meant at the end of next week we get a newt greenie. Great. Another scared kid.

Ben had became a runner because he did good in the maze. That meant we now had quiet of few runners.

Slowly the Glade was becoming bigger with each boy. We might have to make homestead a bit bigger soon.

Gally told me last night he would take over the builders today so I had a free day.

But I'm pretty sure he knew I was gonna help a different job. I decided I was gonna work with the track hoes. Not for any reason just felt like it.

As I made my way over I spotted newt working but stopping for a moment.

I noticed him rubbing his knee. He was obviously feeling pain. Once I reached him he tried acting like nothing happened.

"Nope I saw that." He frowned slightly at me. But sat down anyways. Now that I knew what happened to his knee, he told me it also hurt.

"I regret telling you my knee aches. You treat me like a child." He whined as I rolled my eyes.

"Then don't behave like a child." I scolded as I started picking plants. I trusted the boys not to stare.

They had enough respect for me not to do that. And most of the Glade figured out my crush because minho can't stay quiet.

For some reason newt hasn't found out. Which I'm surprised by.

You ever secretly tell your friend not to tell the boy you like in hoping they actually do tell them? Yup. That's me.

I felt something cold on my arm to see newt handing me a water. I didn't notice I was sweating until I stood up and drank some water.

"Thank you." I said as he shook his head. "No problem, love." It made me giddy when called me that.

A faint blush came to my cheeks as we stood there for moment. "What's your favorite color?"

He asked out of the blue. "Why?" I asked but he just shrugged. "I don't know. I just don't know much about you."

"I wanna know more." I was internally squealing in this moment. He wanted to learn more about me.

"White." I smiled slightly. "It's pure. And always seems be to damaged darker things. But when it's put with another color, it makes them more vibrant."

He smiled widely at me. That one question sent him into asking many questions and me asking them back.

We learned a lot about each other. Before he could ask me another question I was interupted my Ben running over.

"Kitty, the med jacks need you. Something bad with a slicer." I looked over worriedly at newt and ran off.

I quickly reached the med jacks room to seem them in panic. "Alright explain to me the situation."

I said as I cleaned my hands. "Slicers accidentally stabbed himself with his own knife. He slipped and the knife fell into his side."

I walked over quickly and took a look at the situation. I looked to clint ad he seemed unsure how to fix it.

"Clint get me a rag. Jeff has any fluid come out of the would besides blood?" I asked calmly.

"No. Nothing but blood." Jeff answered trying to keep calm. "Ok good. Means he got lucky."

I mumbled as I grabbed the rag from Clint an wrapped it around the knife against him.

I didn't notice but a lot of people had gone around the tent as I heard their voices.

It's been a while since we had a injury this bad. Alby, minho, newt, Gally, and winston came in.

"Winston I need to know what exactly happened. I heard a story from Clint but a part of me doesn't believe it."

"It was Austin. He got mad because Dave wasn't listening." Everyone stopped moving as I stared at winston.

They looked to me not knowing what to do. Alby didn't want to make the decision so I had to.

"Banish him." I grunted lowly looking to the floor. "What?" Minho asked shocked.

I looked up and stared at all of them. Stood up and sighed. Angry. "Austin hurt Clint. We all assumed it was a accident."

"But now he's hurt one of us again. None of you want to make the hard decision so I will." I narrowed my eyes.

"Banish him tonight. For now leave him in the pit." I growled hearing more voices yelling.

"And for shuck sake get them out of here! I can't concentrate with Dave while everyone is freaking out, out there!" I shouted.

Everyone stared at me surprised. I never snapped like that. "Minho, you and Gally get Austin in the pit."

They ran off without question. "Alby get everyone out there back to their jobs. Winston you go tell the other keepers about the banishment."

As everyone left I sat back and carefully looked at the knife. "What about me?" Newt asked.

"I need you to stay here and keep me calm so I don't accidentally kill this kid." I shakily spoke.

He just nodded and sat down not far away. I carefully took the rag away.

"Clint listen to me. I'm going to pull it out. When I do that I need you put a rag on it quickly."

I looked up at him. "Can you do that?" I asked as he nodded and came right to my side.

"Listen I need another set of hands. Someone go get a builder." I sighed as newt ran to the builders bringing back my brother.

"Listen when I pull this out it's a high chance he will go into shock. Once he does I need you to hold him down so he doesn't kill himself from hurting himself."

I looked back at newt to see him frown. "Sorry..." I mumbled lightly. I didn't mean to say it. He shook his head understanding.

I took a deep breath and focused on the knife. I quickly pulled it out immediately making Dave scream as Clint out the rag on the would to stop bleeding.

The boys all ran and held him down as he tried moving. I switched Clint places as I put pressure on his wound.

Once Dave finally stopped moving his body I swollowed thickly and stared at the wound.

"Jeff, I need you to check his pulse please." Jeff walked over to his wrist and nodded telling me he was still alive.

"Gally check that blade and tell me if there is any damage to it." Gally silently grabbed the knife from were I put it.

He looked at it and silently shook his head. "Ok Clint, Jeff, get some bandages."

"I need to stitch his wound and then bandage it." I looked to see Jeff already holding the needle and thread ready.

I took it away and stitched up his body silently. After I had finished I whipped my forehead and let Clint finish wrapping him.

I walked outside to see it dark and sighed. I felt someone behind me and turned around to see newt with a wet rag in his hand.

"You have blood on your face..." He mumbled as he started wiping my face off.

I couldn't sleep that night. I was to distracted by the blood.
