Chapter 11

**** Julia's Point Of View ****

I'm beyond being scared. I'm terrified. It's a miracle I haven't klunked my pants yet. The way Janson looks at me makes me wanna hide.
"Julia" he's voice is full of venom. Thomas holds his gun up and points at Janson. "Put the gun down, Thomas" he says. "We don't have to fight."
"Oh, we don't?"
"I've got a deal for you kids." This cannot be good. "I'll let you go" he smirks evily, showing his grey teeth. "But girl stays with me."

That's it. I was free for ten minutes. Now I'm going to stay with him, so WCKD can experiment on me like on a guinea pig.
I take my first step toward Janson. His smirk fades away as soon as it appears, when someone grabs my arm and put me behind himself. Newt's body covers mine and he says looking emotionless at ratman
"She's not going with you. Not in your wildest dreams!"
"Newt" I whisper, so only he can hear me. "What are you doing?"
"I'm not losing you again" he says, after he turns around and faces me.
"None of us do" Minho says bravely.
"As you wi-" Janson doesn't have time to finish, because Thomas starts shooting. He misses, but keeps on trying, when ammunition ends.
"Well, shuck" Fry mumbles.
"What now kids? Huh? You're all mine" he grins at us and I want to punch him in those yellowish teeth. I only shiver. Goose bumps appears on my arm and Newt grip tightens as he whispers softly in my ear
"I won't let him hurt you. Not again." His voice calms me down a little bit. But we all know the truth. They got us and we cannot do a shucking thing about it.

**** Newt's Point Of View ****

I tighten my grip on Julia when I feel her shiver. I don't want her to be afraid, I don't want them to hurt her again.
"I won't let them hurt you. Not again." I think my words calm her down a little bit, but I don't know if I'm able to keep her safe. I couldn't in the maze, so how can I now?

"Take them all to different rooms" Janson hisses and guards walk toward us, when door behind us opens. Thank God! Actually Jeff and Aris…
"C'mon on" I drag Julia with me. everyone runs behind us, everyone beside Thomas. He through the gun at one of the guard and makes him fall. "C'mon on Thomas!" I yell when doors starts to close.
He barely makes it. But it doesn't stop him from showing his middle finger to Janson. Why didn't I come up with the idea?

We run in the dessert as fast as we can in the middle of a sandstorm. I don't let go of Julia's hand, but I already feel tired of running and there's no place we can hide in. My limp doesn't help either. I forgot about it while we still were in WICKED's base. I think it was because of joy I felt when I saw Julia, adrenaline when we fought with Janson and he threaten us. Now emotions slowly run out of me.

I don't know if WCKD is still after us, but I don't dare to look behind.
"Newt" I hear Julia wheezing.
"Yeah?" I worry I know what she wants to say.
"I can't run anymore." I know how much energy it takes from her to talk. Sand stings my eyes as I make Julia run by pulling her hand with me. "I'm slowing you down, Newt."
"No, you don't" I argue.
"Newt, you have to go without me."
"I'm not leaving you behind" I don't even look at her when I say it. It would break me down, seeing how tired and hopeless she is. "I'm not letting you down again."
"Newt, you never-" she's interrupted by Thomas yell
"Guys, I think I saw something. I think it was a house!" She stays with me.
