Newt X Reader

7. They Know

The door opened thanks to the griever tech,

"Theres a code!"

Teresa yelled at Thomas,

We all battled to keep the grievers away until,

"Minho! What's the maze sequence?"

"What?"

"The sequence!"

Thomas yelled again,

" 7 1 5 2 6 4-"

Then a griever jumped ontop of him,

"MINHO!"

Newt screamed,

Jeff threw himself at the griever and managed to keep it away, but it cost his life,

"- 8 3!"

Minho finished the code and Teresa pushed the button,

The key pad went blue and another door opened,

We all stumbled inside.

The only ones left...

Newt, Thomas, Minho, Frypan, Winston, Chuck, Teresa and me.

We all breathed heavily as Newt leaned on me,

"You alright love?"

He asked again,

I nodded and he gave me a lingering kiss,

"Good."

Was his only answer as he held me close with his free hand, his other one still wrapped around his spear.

"Come on."

Thomas said as we followed him to the right, down a concrete tunnel.

We arrived at a door with the words EXIT printed in bold white against green.

"Seriously?"

Frypan said as we pushed through the door,

What we saw shocked me,

Men and woman in lab coats laying dead across the room,

Bullet wounds in their heads and chests.

Blood puddles on the floor and a man with a gun in his cold hands sat leaning against the white now red wall,

I pulled Newt close as his eyes wavered from body to body.

We finally arrived at a room full of computers,

Newt walked up to a computer and I leaned over his shoulder,

"So they were watching us..?"

I said, the maze looked to be under ground.

An artificial sun and all,

No wonder it never rained.

I pulled Newt away from the computer as Thomas clicked a button and a recording of a lady with blonde hair appeared on the screen,

"Hello, my name is doctor Ava Paige."

The woman said,

We all crowded around the screen,

"I'm head of the operations of the World In Catastrophe Kill-Zone Experiment Departmemt. If you are watching this it means you have successfully completed the maze trials."

In the back ground of the recording, people rushed around in lab coats with boxes and papers looking frantic.

"I wish I could be there in person to congratulate you, but certain events seemed to have prevented it."

The people in the background were becoming more and more frantic

"I'm sure by now you must all be very confused, angry, scared. I can only assure you that everything that has happened to you, everything we have done to you, has happened for a reason."

I had chills running down my spine,

"You won't remember, but the sun has scorched our world,"

The screen cut from the womans face and was showing the world burning, citys on fire, people running for their lives and piles of corpses...

"Billians have been lost to fire, suffering on a global scale! The fallout was unimaginable."

Then it cut back to the ladys face,

"Then what came after it was worse. We called it the Flare. A deadly virus that attacks the brain-"

The camera cut to a body being rotted and pulled apart, showing a human brain filled with black inky substance,

I clutched Newts arm and he wrapped his arms around me,

"It is violent and unpredictable."

It showed a man in a bed, his whole body covered in black veins.

He was struggling against his restraints and screaming,

I couldn't turn away,

"Incurable. Or so we thought. "

It cut back to the ladys face, in the background it looked like people were being attacked,

"In time a new generation was born, one that could survive the virus. Suddenly there was reason to hope for a cure. But finding it would not be easy, the young would have to be tested, even sacrificed in harsh environments to study their brain activity. All in an effort to understand what makes them different. What makes you different..."

We all looked at each other worried,

"You may not realise it, but you're very important. Unfortunately your trials have only just begun. And not everyone agrees with our methods. Progress is slow, people are scared."

In the background people in black suits with guns began attacking and killing the scientist,

"It may be too late for us... for me... but not for you. The outside world awaits... just remember..."

The lady, or Ava, pulled out a small gun from under the desk and aimed it at her head,

"... WICKED is good."

And with that she pulled the trigger and the screen went dark.

Everyone looked around,

A door just across from us opened up,

"What are we supposed to do now?"

Newt asked,

"...let's get out of here."

We all smiled and just as we were about to leave,

"STOP!"

Gally aimed his gun at us....

A/N: DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!

Newt: oh cant we just have a break?!

A/N: nope sorry! I cant veer too much from the book :,D
