Escape to the Hills // Newt x Reader

~{Book 2 in the "Second Time Around" series.}~

Haunted by your mothers words, you refuse to give up on your friends. It was high-time you ventured out of the Maze, where you had been held for so long. Frantic to get away from WCKD, your mother, and the horrors of the outside world, you come up with the idea of heading for the Hills. The Hills is the only place WCKD had failed to take under control. If you seek refuge there and are accepted, it would be the best thing that had ever happened to you and your friends. Finally free from everything for a while. The problem was getting there. With WCKD after you, Cranks still on the lose, and a new species of Griever freshly introduced into the wild, things were going to get a little more then very difficult. How you were going to get your small group of nine to the Hills safely was beyond you, but the want, need, and determination to get away from WCKD, your past, was enough to push you to try. There's still one question on every Gladers mind as you slowly make progress on your journey: will they ever be truly safe from WICKED?
