"Fry, cover your eyes", with that, Thomas kicks his window as hard as he can, instantly the glass shatters into countless little pieces, letting out a weak grunt, Thomas rolls onto his hands and knees, quickly crawling out the window "can you get the door open, man?" He probes as he scrambles to his feet, Frypan begins to kick his door repeatedly, attempting to pry it open, I blink rapidly, confused as spots dot my vision, my head begins to pound harshly as the blood from the rest of my body overwhelms my brain "Love? You okay?" Newt probes worriedly. "Yeah, I think so" I reply candidly "you okay?" I question him as I dangle powerlessly, my body aching tremendously "I'm fine, Love...", the driver's side of the car doesn't budge "here, I'm coming around, alright?", Thomas rushes towards the other side of the car, Newt, utilizing all his might, forces his body against the door, causing it to swing open easily, rolling onto the ground with a grunt "you okay?" Thomas probes as he assists his friend to his feet, "yeah, I think so, thanks, Tommy" Newt huffs out, dusting himself off as Frypan tediously wiggles through the seats. Standing freely outside the car, leaving me the only one left inside "you coming, Rose?" Thomas probes, peeking his head through the window, I nod, my hands navigate towards my seatbelt, only for my orbs to widen in horror "come on" I mumble as my anxiety levels gradually worsen, my fingers fumble with the seatbelt, hoping for the mechanism beneath to release me "Rose, what's the hold up?" Thomas probes, shifting uneasily "just give me a minute", just as those words release into the air, there's a loud scream from several yards down the tunnel, causing me to halt in my tracks. My breath hitches as I recognize the sound, my heart rate spikes as I discern distant maniacal laughter and inhumane shrieks "Rose, we really gotta go!" Thomas calls anxiously "hang on!" I reply as I frivolously yank on the buckle, growing fearful as the noises become louder "Rose, come on, Love!" Newt urges frantically "I'M TRYING!" I bellow lividly, growing more furious as the buckles refuses to release me "IT WON'T BUDGE! I'M STUCK!" I yell out, tears forming around my rims "holy sh-", a shriek interrupts Thomas's curse "Rose! We need to go now!" Frypan urges me. Twenty yards, "and I need someone to help me!" I retort iredly, grunting out in vexation, Nineteen yards, Eighteen, Seventeen, "SOMEONE HELP ME!!" I cry out, instantly a pair of feet skid right beside me, their owner kneels down and gazes through my window "Newt" I huff out in relief "saving you as usual" he quips, although his brows are upturned in concern as his orbs flit around wildly for a solution "cover your eyes!", I shield my face and curling as far away from the window as I'm able, instantly the glass shatters, millions of sharp spectacles fling into the air. Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen, Thirteen, Newt's fingers respectfully fling towards my waist, also yanking on the buckle of the seat, grunting out in frustration when our combined vigor is ignored by the irksome object, Twelve, Eleven, Ten, Nine, "SHUCK!" Newt curses loudly, I begin to whimper dulcetly as the situation worsens "COME ON! COME ON!", I begin sobbing, restraining myself from releasing louder wails of fear, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, "okay, Love, I'm gonna need you to calm down" Newt comforts me as my sobs worsen "I almost got it, but the next part's tricky, do you trust me?". I gaze into his intense gaze deeply, my heart pounding feverishly against my chest "with my life" I reply honestly, he smiles briefly "okay, I'm gonna get you down, there's a bunch of glass everywhere, but I'm not gonna let you get cut, I promise" he reassures me "okay", I attempt to calm my breathing hastily, Four, he arranges his fingers along the buckle, shifting his body so he could be directly below me, scooting haphazardly close to the shards below "ready?", I nod hesitantly "three, two, one", he yanks forcefully on the buckle, instantly a clear click enters my ears, Three. I impact a soft surface and groan as my already aching body is tortured by the harsh ground, a sharp hiss enters my ears before my body is yanked towards the window of freedom, but as I scramble for my escape, a charge of electricity ensnares my attention momentarily, I whirl my head away from Newt, who beckons me forward, and note the puddle of gas from the engine leaking onto the roof of the car, sharpening my heed to the suggestively dangling wire from the lights of the car just a few inches in front of me. Two, I outstretch my hand and curl my fingers around the wire, grabbing a shard of glass, ignoring the sting of the sharp edges digging into my skin and slice at the wire, causing it to dangle loosely above the liguid gas, sparks of electricity being flung around wildly, grinning madly, I redirect myself towards the window of the car, scrambling out the broken enclosure, a pair of arms wrap around my torso and haul me to my feet, I mindlessly urge my feet forward, ushering Newt along with me "RUN!", One, the thunderous roar of the car exploding behind us sounds. Some Cranks shriek in agony as the car instantly engulfes in flames, Newt manages to laugh "bloody Glade, Love!", his fearful gaze meets with mine as he yanks me foward, he discharges his gun, allowing bullets to rain down upon the terrible creatures "Newt! Come on!", turning on his heel, the boy redirects himself towards us, I increase my speed, only for Thomas's hand to outstretch in front of me, hovering inches above my chest, I direct my heed forward, only for my orbs to widen in horror, shining his light in front of us, Thomas reveals our greatest fear, we're surrounded.
