Tiny (TST+TDC)

~ Chapter 18 ~

Newt helped Zara up carefully and she took more medicine with her before they snuck away to complete her mission. 

She made sure her gun was loaded before they ran through a doorway leading to an empty hallway. Buildings were burning and streets were exploding. 

They crept through a lab when Zara heard voices. It was Janson and... Thomas?

She heard commotion so decided to interrupt. She walked out behind Janson with her gun aimed at him

"This is the end Janson. "

"Now Zara you wouldn't kill your father, after everything i've done for you"

"You were never here! Neither was mom!"

"You don't know anything about your mother"

"She was never here!"

"She was a beautiful, crazy, fragile, wonderful woman!"

"She deserted us! So did you"

"We loved you!"

"That was love?"

"Yes, yes it was!"

"Ok, then why did you leave?"

"You don't know what you're talking about!"

"You loved us so much then why weren't you here?"

"We tried! We always tried"

"You weren't here! You were never fucking here! YOU LEFT" He went quiet as tears fell down her face, her hand shaking as she struggled to keep a grip on the gun

"I was 12. 12! and taking care of myself"

"Why do we find ourselves in these arguments? My sweet sweet daughter, turned into, into t-this" He said, disgusted while looking at her.

"Goodbye dad" She whispered. She squeezed the trigger and a shot went off. Only it wasn't hers. 

Blood began to fill Newts shirt. The sound was loud enough to crack delicate glass that held a crank in a glass cage. Thomas and Zara grabbed Newt and ran out, locking the door behind them, leaving Janson and the crank locked in together. 

"Newt! Stay with me please, just keep your eyes open" Thomas pleaded and they hauled him out onto the ground outside. 

"Where's the burg?" Zara asked desperately. She tried to cover Newt's wound while Thomas called in the burg from his walkie talkie. 

"Newt please, please c'mon" She slapped his face gently while she rushed around to take his guard uniform off to get to the wound. 

"I'm so sorry" She cried. It was her fault. She dragged him into this and she was the one who was meant to get shot, not him. 

She sat back a bit, letting Thomas take over. He stood up after a few minutes and wiped a few tears away, numb expressions was all he was revealing.

"W-what?" She asked

"What happened why do you look like that?" She pleaded. He turned his back and walked away

"Wait, w-where are you going?" 

"It's over Zara, We were too late. Newt's gone." She knelt over Newt's body as tears fell

"No, no you can't. Please don't go away. Please? No one's ever stuck with me like this before. And if you leave, if you leave... I just- i remember things better with you. I do. Your an amazing person. I know. Cause when i look at you, i-I feel it. I look at you and... I'm home. Please, i don't want that to go away. I don't wanna forget" She cried. 

He was her rock. He looked after her when she wouldn't even look after herself. Sure she had a brother, she had Gally as well but Newt, he was different. He made her smile, he cared so much. He listened to her when no one else would. They understood each other. And now that's gone. 

She shook him, tried to wake him but nothing worked. 

"Zara come on" Thomas muttered as he tried to pull her away. What she didn't understand was how she seemed to be more upset than Thomas. They were best friends for as long as he could remember. They were truly brothers, best friends forever and he barely shed a tear. 

He pulled her away as she staggered to her feet and stumbled away in his grasp. Her eyes stuck to Newts body, tears filling them and spilling over. 

They got to the burg and Zara sat down, not looking at anyone, her eyes trained on the ground. Her face was still shocked, upset, horrified at what she watched unfold. 

"Where's Newt?" Minho asked. Thomas looked up at them and shook his head

"Newt's gone"

A/N: Sorry this chapter was a lot shorter than the others i just feel like more happened in this one and it was hard to write. I know i said Newt didn't die but... i lied
