Aversion (The Maze Runner, Newt / Sequel to Violation)

5 - Forcefield

So in a daze, Newt located Wendy's lips and smashed his own against hers in desperation for a reaction.

Even in the haze of everything going on, Newt finally felt complete, like the world began spinning and everyone was okay again. The feeling of being so close to her, of finally feeling her lips merge with his, was enough for him to push himself over the edge.

Wendy too.

The girl's brain began to function again, and all the horrible noises were gone, the only thing she could focus on being the boy in front of her.

Newt.

He was so familiar to her, even though the boy himself was so foreign too. The way his lips felt, the way his body was structured when he pulled her closer and she placed her hands on his chest. The way his hair tickled her face and how made her feel so wanted. It was all so familiar, it was all so comforting.

Until Minho ruined it.

"Is Wendy okay back there?"

Newt pulled away slowly at the sound of his friends voice, and even in the dark, he still stared in front of him, knowing that the girl he loved was staring right back at him. "She's fine." he choked out. "She's fine now."

"Yeah." she breathed out. "I'm doing good."

"Really good."

They continued walking for a longer period of time, and even though it was stupid, all she could think about was Newt.

Now she really didn't know how she felt about him.

Wendy was about to start contemplating her entire existence again until Minho called out that he had found stairs.

All of them climbed up them, Wendy keeping her hand on Newt's backpack for guidance until Minho said, "The shuck top, that's what we hit. We hit the roof, and there's nowhere else..." he trailed off.

And then he opened the top.

Wendy felt as if she had been lit on fire and dipped in boiling hot water at the same time. It was the worst feeling she could ever feel in her entire life, as if God had unleashed hell for a brief second and sent it their way. She instantly cowered and threw her hands over her eyes and head as Minho slammed it shut.

They continued trying to find a way to go out without being burnt to death, they were even going to wait until night time until something attacked Winston.

Wendy was pushed out of the way as his body fell to the very last step with a hard and loud thump. She could already hear the disturbing noises that came from the boys mouth, so she covered her ears in hope of not having another shock episode where she couldn't move for minutes.

Ratman was right, this was already horrible.

"Frypan! Jack!" Minho finally instructed with a loud and booming voice, obviously hiding the panic that he and everyone else were currently trying to contain. "Get Winston to his feet, help him along. Aris, you gather the junk he dropped, have a couple of guys help you carry it. We're leaving. I don't care how bright or brutal that light is up there—I don't feel like having my head turned into a bowling ball today."

"Newt, Thomas, Wendy. The four of us are going through first."

Wendy mentally groaned as Newt dragged her up the stairs. "If I die, I am going to come back and murder you all." she muttered before she grabbed Newt's hand.

She could hear snickers follow her comment as the boys had the smart idea of using sheets to protect their faces and began pulling them out. Wendy still felt kinda in a daze, from both the kiss and the fear that struck her. Either way though, it was doing a pretty good job of keeping her calm with everything going on at the moment.

"You guys ready?" Minho asked when the four of them had a proper sheet wrapped around their head. Wendy nodded to herself before she agreed out loud.

"Let's go!" she shouted, ignoring the fear that bubbled in her chest because with Newt's hand in her own and the reminder of what happened minutes ago with the blonde, she knew she could get through what was coming.

And with that, they stumbled into the bright light and beginning of a rough journey.
