The Light: Newt x OC

The Right Arm:

Harriet opened a car door, "Hop in."

               We all got into one of the two waiting cars and waited ins silence while they drove us to wherever it was they were taking us. Newt and I exchanged hopeful smiles.

When we drove up to some tents and buildings scattered on the mountain side's base we got out.

"They've been planning this for over a year now," Harriet said as she led us towards the camp. "This is all for us."

"You guys are lucky you found us when you did. We're moving out at first light." Sonya looked back at us.

"Where's vince?" She asked a man nearby.

"Somewhere over there."

"Who is Vince?" Thomas asked the girls.

Harriet replied with, "He's the one who gets to decide if you stay."

"I thought the right arm was supposed to be an army," Minho stated.

"Yeah we were," A man said as he walked up. "This is all that's left of us."

He stood in front of us, "A lot of good people died getting us this far. Who are they?"

"They're immunes," Harriet said. "Caught them coming up the mountains."

"You check 'em?"

"They all appear fine," The man who had come with us said.

"I know this guy Aris," Harriet pointed at our friend. "I trust him."

"Well I don't," The man before us stated. "Check them."

Brenda rasped behind me. I turned around as another man said, "Hey boss?"

Brenda fell.

"Brenda!" Jorge rushed to her side. "Hey brenda?"

"I'm sorry," She said with hazy eyes.

The man knelt down beside them, "What's going on with her?"

"I don't know," Jorge panicked.

The man moved Brenda's pant leg to reveal a bite mark. "Oh crap. CRANK! WE GOT A CRANK!" He pulled out his gun.

"No no no! Wiat!" Thomas yelled as he rushed in front of Brenda.

"Step back!" Vince commanded.

"No wait listen. It just happened okay? She's not dangerous yet."

"Well you shouldn't have brought her here!"

"I know-"

"If we let cranks here the safe haven doesn't last a week. Step back!"

"No I understand. Please okay? I know that you can help. Okay? There's gotta be something you can do," Thomas pleaded with the man. Brenda was rasping where she lay on the ground. Daniel was staring at the man who had followed us from the mountain pass.

"What is it?" I asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

He looked down at me, eyes still wide, "I think I have." 

Vince was still aiming his pistol at Brenda, "yeah, there is. I can put her out of her misery!"

"No!"Jorge fought against the men restraining him.

I felt a stab of pain in my waist line, "Newt." I grabbed my stomach. My knees gave out. Newt grabbed my waist and gently lowered me to the ground, "Please you've got to help us!" He looked at Vince. I was trying to keep myself from collapsing entirely.

"My wife is pregnant," He said.

"Newt," I breathed through the cramps.

"Right here baby," He said in my ear.

"Stop! Let him go!" A woman said as she ran up. I could just make out her brown hair through my tears.

"Let him go!"

Vince didn't let up, "She is infected doc. There's nothing we can do for her."

"No, but he can," She was staring at Thomas. "Hello Thomas."

"Wait, you know me?" Thomas looked confused.

"Interesting. Makes sense, they put you in the maze," She approached Brenda. "Though I must admit I was afraid they would kill you after what you did."

"What I did?"

"The first time we spoke you said you couldn't take it anymore. Watching your friends die one by one. The last time we spoke you gave me the coordinates for every WCKD compound, trial, and lab."

"He was our source," Vince said.

"We couldn't have pulled all this off without him," She smiled. "Take her to the tent."

Jorge carried Brenda after a man who led them towards a large tent. The woman knelt down next to me, "Don't worry." She said to newt. "I'm not going to hurt them."

I looked up at her.

"I'm mary," She smiled. "I can imagine how scared you must be. You're safe here."

"Zoe," I replied.

"Okay Zoe, let's get you checked out and comfortable," She gently helped me up. "We're going to help you take care of that baby of yours."

Newt followed after us as Mary walked me towards the same tent as Brenda.
