Newt // Missing

* Okay so this originally was a request but then I didn't like where it went and redid the whole thing. I figured I'd still post this though and I haven't gotten the chance to write in a few days but your requests are coming. Thanks for being patient with me! *

Third Person POV

Everything had happened so fast. One minute the kids were crying over the death of Chuck and Gally and the next they were being whisked onto a helicopter by armed guards. The guards assured them as they flew away that they would be taken somewhere safe, away from Wicked and the maze. But looking at the birds-eye view of the maze, part of them wanted to go back.

Most of the kids hadn't gotten a good night sleep in days, so each of them found a comfortable place to rest their heads as they waited for the ride to be over. (Y/N) was looking around for a moment before Newt nudged her with both of his hands.

"You can rest, love," he whispered while gently guiding her head towards his chest. She gave him a grateful smile, ignoring the slight heat on her cheeks, and snuggled into the space just below his shoulder. Both of his arms wound around her body to keep her firmly to his chest. He fell asleep minutes after hearing her steady breathing when he felt she was safe enough for him to relax.

However, their naps didn't last long when the guards inside the helicopter yelled for them to wake up. A few had almost forgotten where they were and were temporally panicking for a moment or two.

The guard called for all their attention before telling them the plan. "When I open these doors, you run. Don't look anywhere but where we direct you, kids. Got that?" They nodded in understanding but felt fear creep into their already unsettled chests when they heard how desperate the guard was for them to do as he told.

The time had come and the helicopter touched the ground with a rough landing. The guard immediately slid open the large door and ordered the first person, who happened to be Frypan, out of the helicopter.

One by one the kids jumped out and followed the direction the guards were pointing at. (Y/N) panicked when she lost sight of Newt. Each had sworn not to lose each other for anything because they relied on each for support more than they probably should have, so she felt terrified when she couldn't find him.

A hand suddenly slipped into hers and pulled her towards the door. She could tell who it was just by the way the hand fit inside hers, but she knew exactly who it was when he whispered, "I'm right here, love. I've got you."

The two ran through the chaos after their friends. They tried not to pay attention to the screams of the guards as they shot at something out in the distance, like the guard had told them to do, but the word 'crank' did stand out among everything.

The pair were one of the last to enter the large building, right before the giant door behind them slid closed, similar to how the walls closed in the maze. Newt kept his arm on her waist while they caught their breaths and looked around.

A woman in a white lab coat had come to the group and told them to follow her. Reluctantly, they did and were brought to a room. The assortment of snacks and foods on the long table in the room distracted them while the woman sealed the door to behind them. For now, they were stuck again.

The group finished their meals with full bellies before being brought to a different part of the facility where they could shower and get cleaned up. The man, Janson, or Ratman as Minho wanted to call him, had separated the girls and the boys, much to Newt and Thomas's disliking.
