Solo ◇Thomas◇ II

“Newt we’re almost there.” Gally calls out as they move through the streets again.

Flames were blazing all around them in spots on the streets and buildings. 

“Just leave me.” Newt chokes out as his feet start to drag. 

Thomas felt it getting hard to move as fast as they were before and making them slow down to Spencer's pace. 

He gripped onto him tighter, “Not an option.” 

A car that's on fire flew down the street they were about to cross causing them all to fall right onto their asses. 

Gally moves against the wall, “Back! Back!” 

They watched as a mob of people rushed towards the blazing car leaving fire along the streets. It was chaotic around them hearing shouts and cries, gunshots and explosions. 

A loud humming captured their attention and the five of them looked up at the sky to see a burg ahead of them. 

Spencer started coughing a lot but Thomas was too focused on getting them all out to notice. The boys looked at her, Minho and Newt knowing what was happening but Gally was confused. 

She pulled down her neck gaiter letting Gally see the black veins up her neck and how pale she had gotten.

Exactly like Newt. 

‘I'm sorry’ Spencer mouthed to Gally and he nodded in a way of saying he understood her. 

No one spoke as Spencer pulled the neck gaiter up again before Thomas looked back at them nodding his head. 

“Okay thats them. We gotta go.” 

Thomas and Minho go to grab Newt but he brushes them off, “Go without me.” 

Newt leaned over to the side throwing up a black goo which left a trail of black substance dripping down his chin. His eyes were bloodshot, his skin pale, veins underneath his skin blue and red, the bags under his eyes more prominent than before and sweat covered every inch of his skin.  

“You should just…” 

Thomas looked to Spencer, “You gotta run ahead, grab the serum and get back to us as soon as you can. You're the fastest of us all. You can do it.” 

Spencer looked at him then at the others before going to say something but getting cut off by Minho. 

“I'll do it. You need Spencer with you, I can get it.” Minho could tell she was too weak to run, she was barely keeping up with them at a walking pace. 

“I'll cover him.” Gally said standing up. 

Minho looks down at Newt nodding. Right before the two were about to leave Newt grabbed onto Minho’s wrist causing him to look down at him. 

“Thank you Minho.” 

Minho patted Newt’s hand, “Hey you just hang on. You hear me?” As he spoke he looked at Spencer so she knew he was also talking to her. 

The boys ran off through the flying rubble and fires around them.

Newt’s breath got more rigid, his jaw clenching and unclenching, a murderous look coming across his once soft face. 

This gained Thomas’ attention, “Hey! Hey! Newt! Hey!” 

A snarl escaped Newt's lips along with more streams of black goo escaping his lips. 

“We’re gonna try this. Okay? We gotta move now. Let's get you up, come on.” 

Newt pushed Thomas off him as he tried to get him to stand. He was repeating ‘no’ over and over. His hands went up to his neck, ripping off a chain and handing it to Thomas with whatever last bit of humanity he had. “Look you gotta take this.”
