Ellia trying to ignore the stinging pain on her side. During the hustle of trying to get out of the room they were trapped in, she slipped and hit the edge of the window frame. Newt was not letting her fall behind though, he had quickly helped her up and pulled her alongside of him.
"Thomas!" Minho threw the gun to him. In retrospect it was a definitely the smart thing to do. Thomas looked back at the group of scared and frantic kids, "Stay behind me." When he ripped open the door, he was in a word: shocked to a masked man standing right in front of them.
Ellia heard a gun click and readied herself for the worse…. Surprisingly, it was the man that fell in front of them and slid back. The brief sense of comfort Ellia felt immediately left her body when she saw the man start groaning and pulsating in pain on the floor. She didn't necessarily feel bad that he was in pain on the floor… it was more concerning how many of them men after them had the same weapon.
"Shit… Okay, come on!" Thomas stepped forward, leading them onward. They continued to jog down the hall, just sidestepping around the seizing man on the tiled floor. Newt thought he heard him croak out the word 'stop' but he was not going to stop and make sure that was what he said.
Ellia tried her hardest to keep her legs pumping and to keep up with the rest of them. She was having a difficult time, with the stinging in her abdomen. Newt's hand was still clasped tightly around her wrist dragging her along, giving her no choice, but to at least stay paced with him.
"There it is! There is is!" Thomas's words caused them all to move a little faster. The idea of being so close was in fact was motivating. They had navigated through the maze of hallways and doors and made it. Thomas took the keycard he had previously stolen and swiped it. A red light flashed around it and a beep followed no matter how many times he swiped it. "Shit. Come on…" That didn't stop him from trying though.
"THOMAS!" Thomas looked over his shoulder. Janson was leading an extremely large group of men towards them down the large hallway. He threw down the useless piece of plastic and grabbed hold of the gun, cocking it and pointing it towards them.
Janson was leading the group with his hands held high in a symbol that said he wasn't there to hurt them. However, the men holding shields and guns a foot or two behind him suggested otherwise.
"Open this door Janson!"
"You really don't want me to."
"Open the damn door!" Minho picked up the card and continued to persistently swipe it. Newt prayed that the door would suddenly and miraculously open, but the odds seemed stacked against them and his mind started to wonder to what would happen to them if that door didn't open.
"Listen to me! I'm trying to save your life. The maze is one thing, but you kids wouldn't last one day out in the Scorch. If the elements don't kill you the cranks will. Thomas, you have to believe me. I only want what's best for you." Janson's words made Newt question the decision they were making. He didn't doubt that Thomas would intentionally lead them astray, but had they really thought about what they were going to do once they were out.
"Yeah, let me guess. WICKD is good?" Thomas was still pointing the gun towards him.
"You're not getting through that door, Thomas."
Newt was not sure exactly what happened, but there was a quiet beeping behind him and a green light flashed. The door began to rise and Newt let out a sigh of relief even though they were still not out of the woods yet.
Okay… so in the upcoming chapters I want to instigate some serious Newt and Ellia bonding. I was thinking, Ellia had to have a job in her maze, what do you guys think it should have been?
