Newt's POV:

We slide down a sand dune into a building and all catch our breath and process what the hell had just happened.

"Come on, we need to keep moving" Thomas said and started to continue going.

"Thomas stop!" Teresa yells at him and he haults in place. "You better explain to us what the hell just happened because I am so confused to what has been going on"

Thomas walked back to us before he started explaining through heavy breaths after to long run.

"We all thought we had escaped, but really we just fell into another trap. It was Wicked and they want something that's inside of us. Aris and I saw the people who had supposedly been sent to the safe haven but really, they were strung up, being drained of the cure most likely. That's all Wicked cares about. So we can't stay here"

"Well, do you at least have some sort of plan?" I ask

Thomas just stays quiet. I then shake my head and walk away.

"Newt wait" I hear him say

"You've got no idea Thomas. We're stuck out here with Wicked on our tails. We don't know where we're going. How is this even ok?" I question and he walks over and puts his hand on my shoulder and makes me face him.

"Newt, I couldn't plan anything because I was on the run. It was last minute. I can't make up a plan in that amount of time. We can figure one out now"

"Fine, I'm sorry I'm just..."

"You're scared. We all are. But we can figure this out, together"

"There's a group in the mountains called the Right Arm. We could head there, they'll know what to do and keep us safe" Aris said

"There's our target, we just have to find our way there. That's our plan"

"We don't even know how to get there" I say

"We'll figure it out Newt. We just all need to work together and stay strong. We can get through this"

"Thomas is right. All we need is each other" Frypan says

"Alright, let's look around here and see what we can find" Minho said

"Everything is basically empty or what ever was inside it has just poofed" I say tossing a bag to the side.

"Well the place is scorched Newt. We just need to keep looking" Thomas says who's to my left.

"I know"

We keep digging through the ruble of what ever had been left behind by past survivors. I find a jacket and scarf and put that on and Thomas does the same with another jacket. I then grab a bag and start packing some stuff into it that looked valuable.

"Woah Newt, check this out" Thomas says and I see him by a barbed wire door and I head over to him.

"What'd you find?"

"Look at all these pictures and everything"

There were pictures of families attached to the wire and teddy bears and anything that looked like it had a memory behind it.

"I wonder where they are now?" Thomas asks

"Who knows, I just hope we don't end up like them" I say and I get a look from Thomas. I then feel him grab my hand and squeeze it and I look down at it and I squeeze back. This was the first bit of touch I had given him that could give it away that I like him but, why did he do it to me first. He then let's go and we start to walk back when the lights turn on, blinding us.

"What the hell?" Thomas questions

"Thomas look out!" I yell and push him out of the way of some barley looking human creature. A crank.

"We gotta get out of here!" I yell and we start to run.

We had to find the others.

"Who turned on the lights?" I question as we reached the others

"I did why?" Minho questioned

"Because you have just woken up a bunch of cranks" Thomas says and then we see some following us.

"Everybody run!" I yell and we bolt in the opposite direction. We keep running and there was no chance of making us stop. We get to another floor and it had seemed like we had lost them until I feel myself get pulled down and I'm pinned by one.

"Newt!" I hear Thomas yell

I try to fight the thing but I feel its claws digging into my wrists as it continues to pin me down. I then feel the weight lift off of me as Thomas kicks the creature off of me and pulls me up.

"You ok?" he asks

"I think so, thanks Tommy" I say

"Guys, we have to keep moving" Winston says but as we go to continue running, he gets knocked down by another crank, this one, wild as anything.

"Winston!" We yell

"You guys have to leave me" he says

"No!" Frypan yells

"Go! Get out of here!" Winston yells and we hear him scream in pain.

I then see one coming towards us again and I grab a plank of wood from the ground and just as it comes to tackle Thomas, I hit it in the head, sending it flying.

"Shit Newt" Minho says

"Let's keep moving" Teresa says and we continue to run.

"In here!" Aris yells "we should be safe"

We slide under a little ledge and remain quiet. We had to stay as close as we could to each other and I see Thomas next to me and I put my hand around his waist and he looks at me and he nods knowing I was scared. Soon enough, as the scream from the cranks calmed down, I found myself falling asleep.
