Newt's POV:
Panic fills me as explosions go off in every direction and bullets or grenades are fired from guns. Wicked was creating war yet again, now against the Right Arm. I wanted to know where Thomas was. Was he hurt? Was he dead? I bloody hoped not.
"Newt! Newt come on! Snap out of it!" Frypan yells at me and I shake my head and look at him.
"We need to find Thomas!" I shout over the explosions.
"We can't, he'll be ok, the safest thing for us to do is find Vince, Thomas will do the same. He's smart"
"Ok" I say, although my worry and panic doesn't subside as we run to find Vince whose standing on the back of a ute.
"How are you three at shooting?" He questions
"Ain't had any practice" Minho says "Thomas is the only one whose held a gun"
"Well here's ya chance" he says as I get passed a rifle and take my aim at a guard. Holding the rifle felt right, it felt familiar in a way. I then hit the guy in the head.
"Nice head shot Newt" Fry says to me and I nod and then take aim again.
After shooting a few more guards, I see something fly in our direction and land in the ute. I look behind me and see that it's a grenade.
"Get down!" Vince yells and then I feel and electric feeling run through my body and we all fall to the ground in pain. I could tell now that, we had lost. Guards then started approaching us. I couldn't move. I couldn't run. I couldn't yell. I was paralysed. When the pain died down, one of guards yanked me to my feet and pushed me towards where they had the other teens and made me kneel. Minho and Frypan were put either side of me. I look around. Thomas wasn't in sight. That could be a good thing and a bad thing.
"Minho, Thomas isn't here" I say to him
"Hopefully he got away and they haven't shot him or anything"
"Yeah"
We remain quiet as the guards continue rounding us up and Janson paces back and forward as Ava stands and watches it all. Thomas was right. She wasn't dead.
"Where's Thomas?" Janson questions and the guards turn to him and shrug.
Then I hear him. For once, I wished I hadn't.
"I'm here"
We all turn behind us and see Thomas standing with his hands up.
"No" I whisper. Why was he still here? Why didn't he run?
One of the guards then brings him over to Janson.
"Good to see you again" Janson says and then punches Thomas in the gut and I go to get up but I'm kept down by Minho holding me back. Thomas then gets put beside Minho. I could tell he was winded.
"You all thought that you could escape us. Well, you've been proved wrong. We will always find you and we have one person to thank for that" Janson says and Teresa steps forward and our expression changes. Teresa, our friend, had betrayed us.
"Surprising isn't it what friends can do" Janson says looking at us and Teresa gives us a sorry look.
"Load them up!" Janson yells and I feel myself get pulled off of the ground and am directed towards the berg when suddenly.
"Let them all go!" Thomas yells who has a hold of a bomb. My heart starts to race.
"Thomas stop, think about what you're doing" Ava says
"Let them all go!"
"Thomas please, they're going to help us and we're helping them save the world. They won't hurt us" Teresa says
"Am I supposed to believe you?"
"It was her only condition"
My head then starts to pound and the stabbing pain returns and I cringe.
"I'm not going to believe your lies"
Anger boils inside me for no apparent reason.
"Thomas please" Teresa begs
My breathing pattern changes into a gruff angry one.
"No, I'm ending this now"
I feel a powerful strength hit me and I elbow the guard that was holding me in the gut and grab his gun and fire at Janson and run. I then take down another guard. I couldn't control myself. What was happening to me?
Thomas' POV:
I was about to press the button when Newt starts going mental and shooting and taking down guards. We all freeze for a minute in shock but then I throw the bomb at one of Wicked's aircraft and it explodes, sending people flying. The war then starts up again. I look towards Newt and I see him kill someone with his own hands. He pins them on the ground and snaps they're neck. This wasn't Newt. The Newt I knew anyway. I then feel myself get hit in the head and I fall to the ground and Janson starts attacking me. I try to fight back but he was strong and he had the upper hand. He then pins me down with his foot and points the gun.
"Goodbye Thomas"
One more chapter to go guys.
