Solo ◇Thomas◇ II

~16~

Spencer quickly tackled Newt to the ground and pinned him to the ground. He thrashed around a little before seeming to get a little bit of his humanity back. 

“Please. You promised we’d die before we turn.” He gasped out looking at her pleadingly. 

Spencer nods and goes to reach for her machete only to see it wasnt there. As she looks around for it Newt quickly pushes her off him making her smack her head back on the ground. 

He pins her down, snarling in her face and she sees her machete to the side of them. Her hand reached out towards it but they were to far away from it, her other hand was keeping Newt from ripping her apart. 

Newt pulled her hand away and pinned them both under his knees before moving to strangle her. Spencer thrashed weakly as her loss of air got worse with Newt choking her combined with the Flare. 

She tried to move her body or her hands but nothing was working as she was pinned down. With the Flare Newt seemed to get a lot stronger than he was before. 

Newt grabbed one of Spencer’s daggers and went to slice her neck but Thomas kicked him off of her. Instead of it touching her neck he managed to stab her in the leg and pull it down causing a deep cut. 

Spencer gasped in pain and from lack of air, she looked to the side seeing Thomas on top of Newt trying to get him to stay still. 

She sat up still gasping for air but her hand moved to the dagger in her leg wrapping her hand around its handle. 

“On three.” She whispered to herself. “One..” 

Spencer hissed in pain as she yanked the dagger out of her leg, the least painful way to do it. 

“No!” She heard Thomas shout. 

A gun skid across the floor after being kicked out of Newt’s hand by Thomas. That angered Newt and he slammed Thomas to the ground wrapping his hands around Thomas’ throat like he did to Spencer. 

Quickly picking up her machete she limped over to the boys before kicking Newt off of Thomas. 

Newt rose to his feet turning towards her and snarling. He rushed towards her but she stayed in her spot holding tightly onto the machete. 

Once he is close enough to her she plunges the machete into his chest. She didn't let go of him as she felt his body stop moving, she kept him close to her. 

“It's okay.” Newt whispered to her, “Thank you.” 

“I'll be with you soon. I promise.” Spencer whispered back. 

She gently placed him onto the ground, throwing the machete to the side making it cling against the ground. 

Thomas rushed to her side looking down at Newt, tears slipping down his face. His hand found hers as he put his head down onto Newt’s chest letting out his sobs. 

Spencer stayed still just staring down at Newt’s lifeless body. Four words kept repeating in her head, ‘he wanted to die’ along with, ‘Just like I do’. 

Hearing a gasp she turned around to see Brenda with one hand over her mouth and the other holding onto a vial with blue liquid in. Tears were formed on her face as she gripped tightly onto the vial. 

Minho, Gally and Frypan soon ran up next to her stopping once they saw what she was looking at. Everyone was frozen. 

Spencer turned back to Newt’s body with tears in her eyes threatening to fall out. 

“I'll join you soon.” Spencer whispered to herself wrapping her hand around Newt’s. 

Minho unfroze, taking the vial from Brenda’s hand and walking over to Spencer. 

“Spenc you gotta take it.” He held it out to her. 

Thomas didn't look up; he seemed to be blocking out the world. 

She turned to look at Minho then down at the vial before looking back to Newt. Slowly she takes the vial out of his hands looking down at it. 

Such a simple thing. A blue liquid. Only it's not so simple is it? It can save tons of people. The world can live again. 

Only Spencer didn't want to live. Newt didn't want to live and he got what he wanted. Spencer didn't want to live and she was going to make sure she didn't. 

She made a promise. 

A promise to Newt. 

The boy she would see very soon. 

Slowly she handed it back to Minho seeing him frown at her and give her a pleading look. 

“Save it for someone else.” She whispered to him. 

“But you’ll turn into a crank.” 

They heard moving and saw Thomas standing up and walking towards the Wicked building ignoring all the shouts for him to stop. 

“If I come back alive then I'll take it.” Spencer stands up, “If not then just know I love you all.” 

Not waiting for an answer she limped after Thomas. 

She wasn't coming back alive. 

Spencer was sure of it.
