The Heat// The Scorch Trials//Newt//Book 2

Crank under city

Coras POV.

we walked for a while before a boom behind us sounded, not a explosive boom but more like a rock being dropped on to the concrete floor. i flashed my torch behind to look, there wasnt anything i could see so i just continued to walk.

then after a couple of minutes a couple of crazed screams and laughs came from behind us, i looked up to jorge and he started running, i ran with all my might knowing that i could become a meal to the Cranks behind us.

"Run Muchachos!" jorge yelled out from next to a ladder, we all climbed up one after another. i was shinning my torch down the way we came to see if they were close or not. soon enough jorge was up, i started climbing as something...more like someone grabbed my ankle.

"What a pretty Crank, you'd look good in our stomachs" the one that got me yelled, i screamed out to the boys, i saw Minho hold Newt back as jorge passed me down a knife. i tried with all my strength to pull my way up the ladder higher so when i used the Knife the other cranks wouldnt attack me.

"Let me go slinthead!" i screamed to the crank, crazed laughter came from below. i warned him, i reached down and swung the Knife at his wrist. blood started streaming down the Cranks arm as it screamed and let go.

i quickly climbed up the ladder before they shut the roof, it was a sewer lid. those passages down there were the sewers? there was pounding on the lid before jorge ordered some of us to stand on the lid. 

it was surprising that the cranks still could manage to move it a tiny bit. they must've been strong, i looked down to my ankle to see a purplish bruise on me. i wonder why the Crank didnt just pull me down.

jorge came back with this heavy looking piece of cemente that looked like it'd broken off one of the buildings near by. all the boys moved out of the way as they placed the slab of cemente, over the sewer access.

"you alright?" Newt came over and hugged me, i sighed before dropping the bloody knife. i stepped back and was sick. to have to do that to another person, i doesnt matter if they're gone or not...they were all people.

"im fine" i spoke wipping my mouth, jorge pulled us into this building making us climb up the stairs. once we reached where the stairs broke, he made us go through the door on that floor. before he pushed us up on to the next floor.

"jorge what are we doing, this is mad...what if there is cranks in this building" i mumbled to him, he just continued sending the boys up. eventually he grabbed me around my stomach, i punched him in the ear as he dropped me. Newt and Minho were already up but i still didnt trust this.

"dont touch me" i spat out at him, he held his hands up before he grabbed a object for me to stand on as the other boys could pull me up.

"i wont" then he himself was up, i looked around a bit and saw out the window other crank groups setting their fires for the Night. i shut the door we came through just in case as i stood up on the object and pulled myself up, kicking the object away while i did so no one knew we were there.

once i was up it seemed the boys had all picked their spots for the Night. i know it was stupid to worry about Thomas and Brenda but i couldnt help it, especially after the way past gone Cranks we met.

"Cora...come sit down" Newt spoke i walked over to him before i paced thinking about what to do,i walked over to jorge before i crouched in fornt of him. i looked him dead in the eye before i took a deep breath.

"tomorrow, first thing. We're going out there and finding those shanks whether you like it or not, okay 'muchacho'? " i spoke to him harsh, but he'd been avoiding the fact that we havent even seen or heard anything about those two.

"okay muchacho, go on to your lover" he shooed me off and i just stood and walked over to Newt, i sat on his lap as his hands found their way to my stomach. i had a small bump but nothing noticable, Newt rubbed my stomach as i sat there.

"were going to find thomas and brenda tomorrow morning..." i mumbled to Newt as i looked over my shoulder to him before i snaked my hand behind his Neck and pulled him down into a kiss, i moved my hands into his hair before we pulled apart.

"seems like a good idea" Newt mumbled as he kissed my shoulder, i nodded before i rested my eyes, i know now not to call it sleep, cause the moment i sleep the moment all the memories come flooding in...some bad, some good but some..some are ones you dont want to relive.

"Minho,Newt...good night" i spoke out before they both mumbled their pathetic little "yeah night"s. Minho slept on my lap, me and Newt leaned on each others shoulders, we'd probably get a really stiff neck but we didnt care.

----

we woke up to a dim morning glow, we'd slept for ages it seemed like. i pushed Minho off and got up looking out the window, i placed my hand on the window quickly removing it, the windows were heating up as the day starts.

"Muchacho, we going to find your friend?" i turned to jorge and smiled, looking out the window not seeing a trace of any other human beings at all.

"yeah muchacho, were going to find yours to. she's important to you right? so stop pretending she aint shank. your as worried as i am" i smiled to him as i crossed my arms over my chest, he smirked before patting my shoulder.

"then what are we waiting for" with that jorge and i went around waking all the boys up for todays search. i wont stop until we find them, Brenda is someone who is starting to grow on me..same with jorge but for now the Gladers are top priority, all we have is each other.
