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

Part 11

Coras POV.

once all the boys were awake they started to prepare for today, i slung my backpack over my shoulders before i looked to jorge.

"ill check downstairs for anyone or anything. get the boys ready" i spoke to him before i jumped down the hole in the ground, i landed on the floor before scanning the room, there was nothing that caught my attention in here. to i fixed my hair up into a high pony tail as i headed for the door.

i opened the door into the stair well hearing the echo of the doors creak. i smiled before i jogged down the stairs to the next level, i tried the door but it didnt budge so i drew a tick in the dust on the door. i jogged down to the next level opening the door to see the smashed windows on this floor.

a wave of sickness washed over me and i was sick, morning sickness. its getting worse, i looked into my pocket and took out a shiny packet of tablets. i poped one open and swallowed it, it was rather hard seeing i had a dry throught.

i walked over to the window and looked out, the sun wasnt to bad right now. it was defantly the time start moving. i ran down all the way to the bottom stopping and checking each door i passed. once i was at the bottom i heard the boys start to move down.

i looked over to the front enterance only to be frozen into position, cranks...by the looks of their faces they were way past gone. i started to move back slowly hoping they hadn't seen me yet, but their eyes just followed me.

"those pretty little Cranks part of yours" i heard the female speak, she sounded insane...i had no idea what she was talking about so i shook my head.

"the male had a tattoo just like you...." the man spoke walking forward slowly, i backed towards the stairs, not breaking eye contact. i looked at their faces and they were missing Noses, it was sickning looking at them.

"they killed one of ours" the lady laughed out, it was super loud...there was no doubt that the boys heard that. jorge probably had them on one of the levels hiding out in there, i just hoped he was coming down to save me.

"im sorry?" i mumbled and then they smiled, their smiles were sickening, something you'd expect to see on the face of a clown. they moved forward singing this weird little nursery rhyme type thing, i stepped up the stairs.

" 'ear that, cranks sorry?" they burst out laughing again before they started running towards me, i spun around and started running up the stairs. i picked up a pipe on the way before i turned around to them and Hit one in the face with the pipe.

i saw the lady go tumbling down the stairs as the man pushed me down, he smiled again before he drooled on my face, the pipe was the only thing between us. the next second a blade was through his head, and he was thrown down the stairs with the lady who'd been impaled on the way down by a loose railing.

i looked up to see jorge and the boys looking down at me, i smiled before jorge offered me a hand. i stood up and brushed myself down, when i stood up my whole body was trembling. Newt pushed through to the front before hugging me.

the boys all walked down the stairs to the bottom floor, walking around me and Newt. he pulled back leaning his forehead on mine.

"whose stupid idea was it for you to go down by yourself" tears were flowing down my face as i laughed out.

"mine, sorry" i hugged him quickly before he grabbed my hand and we started jogging down to catch up with the others, when we reached the bottom Minho started pairing the boys up into groups of 3.

jorge assigned people areas, after i told him the information the Cranks told me, he picked areas where they could've hid out for the night. so everyone headed out and we were all told to come back to this building by the time the sun had fully rised.

Minho, Newt and I were told to check some of the buildings close by here, so we decided to check next door first.

"i wonder if those two are shucking each other" Minho mimicked thomas, Newt punched him as i just tried to ignore it.

"well we all know thomas wouldnt know where to stick it" Newt responded, i guess they were finally kind of relaxed because they weren't with jorge. i walked up to the door and tried opening it, it was rather hard but the boys didnt notice, they were off in their own world for a first.

"excuse me, sorry to interupt but i cant open the door so i thought the 'men' i brought with me would like to try" i asked with a bit of sass, Minho raised his eyebrows to Newt before smirking patting him back before he said something to Newt.

"and your having a child with that, good luck man" he said on his way over to the door, i wasnt impressed with his joke but i ignored it. for some reason i was rather irritated about something, not sure if it was about the Crank blood in my hair and on my clothes or that im Shucking pregnant in the middle of a Shucking desert!

Minho tried the door but shook his head so we ran across the road to try some of those buildings, some of them opened but there wasnt even a foot print on the dusty floor. the boys tried some but i told them not to since id seen fires in them last night.

"this is hopless, we need a collar for tommy" Minho sighed as we were resting inside one of the buildings, Minho sat down and ruffled his hair. i stood looking around the buildings, i smiled as i imaginged them before the sun flares.

"this place would've been fancy" i mumbled, i could imagine ball happening here and formal dances. i spun around before i walked to the window.

"we'd better head back" i spoke, we grabbed our stuff and started heading down the street a bit to the building. when we got there the boys and jorge were all gathered, their heads all flicked to us as we walked in.

frypan ran up to me and hugged me spinning me around.

"we found them"
