I wake up and see everyone getting up slowly. "There no more cranks, let's get going then." Thomas says standing up first. We all follow. I walk behind the group with Frypan and Winston who's wounds got treated a little by Fry yesterday after we got safe.

We walk silently through a broken city. Ruins everywhere. "I hope not the whole world will be like this." Frypan says looking around.

"How long would it have been since someone has been here?" I ask looking at the parts on the ground.

"Guys silence!" Thomas says. We all stop walking. "Do you hear that?" He asks. We listen and hear a plane from WCKD. "Everyone hide!" He yells.

We get under a ruin and hide while the planes fly over the broken city. When it's clear we get from under there. "They will never stop until they got us, huh?" Newt asks.

We continue walking and get to a hill behind the city. We climb on top of the sandy hill and look over. Far in the distance we see the mountains. "That's a long way away." Minho says.

"It's our only option." Thomas says. "Let's go." He adds. Winston falls over, we all run up to him.

"Winston do you hear me!?" Newt asks loudly.

"What do we do now? We can't leave him!" I say.

We decide on pulling him on the bag of a bag dragging him around like that. We're actually pretty fast and make it. It starts getting windy and we all need to find shelter. We decide on some ruins.

We sit down and the wind goes down. Thomas stands on top of the next hill, Teresa walks up to him. "How far is it?" Newt asks.

"A while further." Thomas replies.

"That's not really comforting is it?" Newt asks.

"Maybe we should think about some happy memories from the glade?" Frypan asks looking at me.

"All my happy memories included Chuck or Gally, sorry but I pass." I reply. He nods.

"What about that time I gave you that diary?" Frypan asks smiling. The others look at us confused.

Thomas and Teresa sit down as well. I reach in my pocket and take out the little notebook I took from the glade. "No way you still have it?" He asks smiling.

"Yeah I couldn't leave it there." I reply. They look at me hopeful.

"Come on, read a page or something?" Minho says.

"No it's really embarrassing." I reply.

"Ow come on, please?" Thomas asks. I sigh and open the little notebook. I give it to Frypan since he's the one who can read it out loud.

Dear diary,
Today I tricked the boys into touching a used pad of mine. They thought they were bandages and those idiots just touched it. Winston started it, and Zart smelled it. You should've seen the faces they made when I explained them where the blood came from.

They were all so grossed out but it was totally worth it. I'm just thankful to live with these people.
I told Fry how to make sushi rolls which were delicious. I may have been a cook before going into this place. Chuck and I also pranked Alby, we went inside his hut and put glue under his shoes so he will not be able to move them.

We start laughing. "Wait! You and Chuck did that? Alby was so mad on everyone except for you cause
he told me you would never do such thing!" Newt says. I start laughing softly.

"It was Chuck's idea but that was fun. We snook inside and put the glue on while teasing each other." I reply smiling.

"Let's go!" Thomas says while standing up. Winston starts coughing this black stuff.

"Please, don't let me turn into one of them! Please!" Winston begs pointing at the gun. We look at Minho holding it. "Please." Winston asks laying down again.

Newt takes the gun from Minho and squats down next to Winston. He places the gun in his hands. Winston let's out a quick thank you. We all get up and slowly but surely walk away.

I wipe away some tears just as Frypan does. We hug each other for just a moment before getting away. We all walk over the sandy mountain when we hear it. The gunshot which means Winston killed himself.

We all stop for a moment and continue then again. It's silent, no one talks. No one can talk after what just happened. We take shelter for the night and sit down making a fire. The sun is down when the first person starts talking again.

"I thought we were supposed to be immune." Thomas asks softly.

"Not all of us I guess." Teresa replies.

"But if Winston could get diseased we should assume we can as well." Newt adds.

"He didn't deserve it, Winston was too good for this world." Frypan says while a tear starts pouring down his face. I hug him softy.

"He was a good friend of most of us. We will remember the good memories." Minho says.

"Yeah, like when I puked up my whole breakfast after being in the barn for two minutes. He helped me out there." I say dropping a tear as well.

"Those were good times." Newt says smiling.

"Never thought I would say this but, I kinda miss the glade." Frypan says still holding onto me.

"Same." I whisper in his ear.
