Warrior's Promise//Newt (Book 2)

Chapter 5

I don't own the maze runner or it's characters just my Own. I was also wondering what you guys think about the end of the third book? I'm debating the ending. Im unsure if I should kill her or Thomas. Or have them both live and her be pregnant. Any ideas?

EDITED

"What happened?!" I looked around as fry held his hands up. "I don't know he woke up and grabbed the gun." I stared at them with wide eyes with a fire burning deep inside. 

"I told you to watch him!" I growled as I walked over to Winston. As I reached him he threw up blood. He rested down back on his back as I kneeled next to him grabbing his hand. I gently lifted up his shirt noticing the infection growing.

"I'm not going to make it." He mumbled to me. I felt tears brimming my eyes as I took a deep breath. "Please kitty, don't let me turn into one of those things." I whipped my face as I refused to look at the others.

"Pack up." I tried to speak out as my lip twitched. I reached for the gun he had earlier and gently placed it in his hand. "Thank you, kitty. Now get them out of here." He tried smiling at me as I nodded and kissed his forehead before grabbing my bag.

A part of me wanted to look back but I couldn't. Or I wouldn't be able to keep it together. I followed after the others till a gun shot rang through the air. The others stopped, but I kept walking past them. If I stopped, I wouldn't move.

"Taylor..." Aris walked next to me as I sighed at look at him. Aris turned back at the others signaling them to wait.

As me and Aris walked a bit farther, we came to a spot. "Are you ok? The others are worried and so am I." I frowned and shook my head. "No. But I haft to be." He gave me a gentle smile. "You remember when I came up in the box?" I smiled at the memory.

Flashback

"New kid!" A girl next to me no older than 13. She reminded me a bit of Chuck. "Calm down." I had only been here a month. But I had already grown attached to many people here.

"Tiger!" I rolled my eyes at the nickname as Sonya walked beside me as we made our way to the box.

"Any ideas on what they will look like?" She asked smiling. She was so sweet to me. Never understood why.

"Brown hair brown eyes." I guessed as she shook her head and we stood above the box.

As the girls pulled open the box I couldn't see well do I jumped down to get a better look. Holy shit.

"What is it tiger?" Harriet's voice spoke above me. I looked at them confused. "It's a boy?"

End of flashback

"You scared us all half to death. They never seen a boy before, and I was just surprised to see one again." I laughed lightly. "You did everything you could." Aris gaze shifted to the others then back to me. He spoke of Winston.

"He still died though." I mumbled. "You can't save everyone tiger." Aris gently gave me a nudge as I nodded smiling. "But I can try." I said before continuing towards the mountains. I knew we wouldn't make it before sundown.

The heat was slowly getting to all of us. I had put a jacket on when it had gotten windy but now I had pulled it off showing my scarred arms from Maze B.

The boys haven't noticed them yet, but I knew they would ask when they did. As we walked further the sun had begun to set.

I quickly looked around for shelter seeing a knocked over cargo boat and led them to it. "We will stay the night here." I told them as we walked in between the knocked over cargo and sat down in the sand.

While the others unpacked I decided to build a fire and sent Aris to get firewood. He had arrived back shortly after.

It was silent. We sat silently around the fire. "Taylor." Fry's voice caught my attention as I looked at him puzzled. "What happened?" He gestured to my arms as the others took notice. Aris frowned slightly.

Some of them were before Aris arrived but only a few after. I pointed to the longer ones. "These are from the shades. Kinda like griever's but more terrifying."

"One of them had followed Sonya back and came into the spring. Almost killed her." I frowned as I looked at the fire in front of me.

"Until Taylor pulled her out from under it and fought it back to the maze. She almost died." Aris knew I wasn't going to acknowledge it. I then pointed to the shorter ones and the ones on my neck. "These are from Abby. After Aris arrived."

I gave Aris a sorrowful look. "Abby didn't trust Aris, tried to attack him while everyone was sleeping." I spoke with a calm voice as I stared into the distance reliving the memory. 

"I found them in time as Abby kept trying to cut me." I then pointed to my neck again. "Got pretty close." I stayed silent for a moment. "What happened?" Thomas asked fearful.

"She had to kill Abby to protect me." Aris sent me a grateful look as the others gave me looks I couldn't recognize.

"You still protected people." Newt gave me a warm smile. I gave me a smile back as everyone slowly drifted to sleep.

I told them I would take first watch when really I plan on taking every watch. I had climbed onto a shipment container as I rested my legs over the edge.

"Your difficult you know that?" I turned to see newt sit beside me. "I think I've been told that once or twice." I giggled lightly. He smiled softly at me. "There she is." I looked down lightly blushing.

He gently rests his hand under my chin and lifted my face to look at him. "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." He mumbled slightly.

It was like it happened all at once. He gently pulled my face in as I felt his chapped lips against mine.

At these moments I wish I had fireworks. I gently scooted closer to deep the kiss as he put his legs on the shipment container so I could crawl onto his lap.

My fingers made their way to his neck as I pulled him closer to me. We had finally pulled away after a few moments to breathe.

I rest my forehead gently against his as I closed my eyes. "Been waiting to do that since I found you." His voice was gently, calming almost. "I love you." I mumbled lightly. His smile grew on his face.

"I love you to." He replied as he gently kissed me again. "You need to sleep." He whispered lightly. At first, I was hesitant but decided it would be best. We had both crawled down from the shipment container and laid down on the sand. I was quick to fall right asleep.
