13. Sand Dunes

Newts POV

That morning I woke up to the sun hitting my eyes and (Y/N) wrapped in my arms,

She was awake, just staring ahead.

"...hey."

I whispered,

She turned her (E/C) eyes glinting in the morning sun,

"Hi."

She said,

I gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead and sat up, she did to.

Slowly one by one the other gladers got up,

Some crows landed near and Thomas quickly shooed them away.

We all began to pack our bags and stretch,

Then I noticed Winston.

He winced as he stood up,

His hand automatically going to his stomach

He lifted his shirt a little, I couldn't see what was underneath it.

He quickly pulled his shirt back down,

I was about to walk over and ask if he was ok when (Y/N) grabbed my hand

Thomas began to lead us all out, him and Teresa in the front, with Frypan, (Y/N) and I in the middle and Minho, Winston and Aris holding up the back.

We walked miles... through the abounded city... up sand dune after sand dune until-

We finally stopped,

Ontop of a sand dune... we gazed at the mountians still miles away...

"...great."

(Y/N) sighed,

I looked over to her, she looked pale.

She attempted to take a sip of water from her canteen, but none came out.

She growled a little and shoved the empty bottle back in her bag,

I offered her mine but she refused with a smile.

We all stood for a while, just watching the city...

Then with a gasp Winston fell and slid a little down the hill,

"WINSTON!"

Fry yelled as we all ran to his side.

(Y/N) quickly lifted his shirt.

Black claw marks were running from just below his chest to his waist line.

Black veins sprouting from them...

"Oh god Winston..."

Minho whispered,

With a little help from Teresa's scarf and basically ripping (Y/N) back pack to shreds we managed to make a make-shift stretcher.

I grabbed the front right handle while (Y/N) grabbed the left.

Minho and Fry got the back as Thomas, Aris and Teresa lead the group,

We walked for 2 days and finally stopped at a small place with broken pieces of concrete for shade...

We lay Winston down on the sand and Fry helped him sit and drink some of his water before laying him back down.

Minho stood beside (Y/N) on the opposite wall to me,

His arms were crossed with his brow furrowed at Winston,
