The One - Newt x Reader Book 2

Chapter 14

   "Listen to her, Thomas. Think about what you're doing," Rat man said. Y/n looked up at me and then walked to stand right behind Thomas. Minho followed, as did Frypan and I. Finnick and Chuck followed as well.
   "We're with you, Thomas," I said. "No..." Teresa whispered, tears falling down her cheeks. "Don't," paige said softly.

   "Do it, Thomas," Minho said softly. Y/n put her hand on Thomas' shoulder and stood straight with a nod. "We're ready," Frypan said, his voice about to break. "We're not going back to there," Thomas said.

   "Thomas..." Paige said.

   "It's the only way..." Thomas whispered. I turned and pulled Y/n into my arms before squeezing my eyes shut. She held onto my arm and buried her face into me."Thomas!" Paige yelled.

  Then the horn sounded.

   We all looked up in shock to see a large truck driving straight for us, Jorge in the drivers seat yelling like a madman.
   The guards fired at it but it was no use as the bullets just ricocheted off of the sides. He went straight for a landed helicopter and knocked it down a steep cliff.

   Everyone ducked to dodge the blades off the copter that broke into pieces and went flying. Everyone began fighting back once again.
   They began rushing Ava Paige back to the helicarrier she came form while the guards attempted to shoot at us. Thomas chucked the explosive at them and yelled for everyone to get down, tripping as he ran towards us.

   I pushed Y/n forward and she took off towards Harriet who had managed to get a few guns back. I glanced at Finnick and motioned towards where she had run with my head, a silent request for him to go with her. He nodded and ran after her. We began running as the explosion went off and Minho grabbed a gun. "Go! Get out of here! Go!" he yelled as he covered for us.
   "Come on, Minho!" i called as i ran past him. We ducked behind a crate and called for Minho to follow. I watched in horror as the guards shot his with the electric ammunition and he convulsed, falling onto a crate and looking over at us.

   "Minho!" Thomas screamed as he ran over to help. Fry and I followed suit, but we were stopped by Jorge. Thomas fought against Jorge, screaming and pulling as they dragged Minho away.

   "Thomas!" Jorge yelled. Fry and I grabbed Thomas and helped pull him away while he continued to yell. We watched in horror as the helicarriers began flying away, Jansen stepping onto the one Minho had been dragged onto. The door shut and it lifted into the air, taking Minho with it.

(A/n: For this part I would highly suggest listening to 'What's Next?' by John Paesano form the Scorch Trials soundtrack, it adds to the feel. Either start it here or where the star is a few paragraphs down)

   Ten minutes later, we went looking for the others. Turns out most of them had been captured and taken away. Vince looked at me pitifully and sighed. "Sorry kid, they got your girl."
   I felt my heart shatter and I fell to my knees, tears filling up my eyes.

   The next morning, everyone was going through the rubble. Everyone that was left, anyways. Vince and Harriet were talking about going to the Safe Haven when Thomas threw his bag over his shoulder.

(*** right here!)

   "I'm not going with you."

   "What?" Vince asked. "I made a promise to Minho, to Y/n, to all of them... that wouldn't leave any of them. I have to go after them," Thomas said.
   I looked up as he talked before standing to my feet. "Hey kid, look around you. Alright, Wicked just kicked our ass. You think about where you're headed," Vince said.

   "I'm not asking anyone to come with me," Thomas said. "I wanna say something..." i said, walking towards him. "I've known Minho for... well, as long as I can remember. And Y/n is more precious to me than life itself. So if there's any way that we can help... then trust me, I will up there standing next to you. But this? What you're talking about? Is impossible," I said sadly.
   I thought of Y/n. Of Minho. Of Finnick. Poor little Chuck, who had looked up to Y/n as a sort of mother figure.

   "More like suicide," Jorge said, waking over and joining the conversation. "Maybe," Thomas said. "but I know what I'm supposed to do now. It's not just about Minho," he said, throwing a gun over his shoulder.
   "or Y/n," he glanced at me. "It's about all of us. It's about everyone Wicked has ever taken. Everyone they will take... They'll never stop. They'll never stop so... I'm gonna stop them." I looked up at Thomas as he talked.

   "I'm gonna kill Ava Paige."

   Vince nodded while Brenda and Jorge shared a glance. "I have to admit," Harriet said, stepping forward. "I'd like some revenge."

   I thought of the idea. Wicked paying for their crimes. Everything they took from us... from me. They took my best friend and the most important girl in my life. Could we let them get away with it?

   Not a chance.

   Vince looked at her and back at Thomas. "Well that was a good speech, kid..." he said.

   "so what's your plan?"
