Chapter Twelve

I was next to Newt. The room was dark until it went green, and a round door opened.

We all stood there in shock for a moment then all bursted into exciting chatter, had we just escaped the Maze?

"Since your the closest Glader to me-"

"Shut up" I smile pulling the collar of his shirt towards me into a long overdue kiss, all the Gladers present cheer, after afew seconds we pull away from each other and smile hugging eachother.

We all kinda look at the open door in curiosity, Newt still has his arms around my waist, Thomas takes it upon himself to take a step out, Fry follows, as does Winston, so does chuck, then me and Newt and so on and so on.

Hand and hand with Newt we walk down a long concrete hallway, the same one I had seen in my dream, the part when I was in the hospital bed, it all seemed too familiar.

We are walking for awhile until we come across the first door we had seen at all, it has a glowing green sign with the bold words, EXIT on it.

"Seriously?" Fry says raising an eyebrow, Thomas pushes open the door and we all stand there, I was the first one to step in, the smell was clean with a stench of blood, still holding Newts hand, he steps in after me, Thomas follows.

Dead bodies was all we could see, the scientists had been murdered, no wonder why the smell was so strong.

We all take a look around for awhile, I don't travel too far from Newt. I knew something was off...

Thomas presses a button and a video plays...

My name is Doctor Ava Paige.

A white woman with blond hair and muted red lipstick appears on the screen.

She explains how we were put in the Maze to find a cure for some virus called, the flare? She says our planet has been scorched by the sun and how there isn't much left. She says our so called, trials, have only just begun,

And remember, Wicked is good...

She puts a gun to her head and pulls the trigger, I flinch, and grab Newts hand, I look behind him,

"Gally!?" I say confused turning around letting go of Newts hand, everyone quickly flashes to face him, he looks terrible,

"Look, we found the exit" Thomas says calmly,

"We c-can't leave" He whimpers, he's visibly in pain,

"Gally, we've escaped, we got out of the Maze!" Thomas says taking a step towards him,

"Thomas no, he's been stung..." Teressa says grabbing his wrist stopping him from going forward,

"Do you really think we have escaped? We can't leave! There is so escaping!" Gally says furious,

"W-what do you mean?" Thomas says,

"We belong to the Maze now..." Gally raises a gun and points it at Thomas,

"No!" Chuck yells, Minho was quick and tossed a spear and it hit him right in the chest, He falls to his knees in pain, and onto the floor gasping for breath,

"Thomas..." Chuck whispers, we all look at him in concern, his shirt was slowly soaking in blood,

"No..." I sob catching him in my arms laying him down slowly, Thomas kneels down next to him with puffy eyes,

"Chuck... I'm so sorry..." He says brushing back his curly hair, Chuck doesn't say anything, he just pulls out a small figure I had never seen before, he hands it to Thomas,

"No Chuck, I said you'd give it to them yourself" Thomas sobs trying to put it back into his hands, my face was soaked in tears, Newt kneels down behind me putting his arms around my shoulders with his eyes watering,

"Thankyou" Chuck whispers before his soft breathing stops,

"No! Chuck! Get up! Get up!" Thomas yells holding the young boys figure in his hand, a door bashed open and men in black suits come running towards us, Thomas still yelling at Chucks lifeless body to stop playing and to get up, The rest of us get dragged out and pulled onto a Helicopter, I grab Newts hand and run outside with the men in black and we jump into the vehicle, we sit next to eachother in tears like the rest of them, Thomas is eventually thrown on and we take off.

We all sit in depressing silence for awhile, I had my head on Newts shoulder and his head leaning on mine, our hands linked,

"Was that really your first kiss?" Minho says trying to defuse the sadness in the room, we both smile,

"Yea I guess so" I slightly laugh, it was too painful to be happy when we just experienced such losses, "I'm sorry Thomas" I say reaching over and giving him a tight hug, He cried on my shoulder for awhile, it wasn't like me to hug anyone other than Newt but Thomas needed it, Chuck was like a little Brother to him, I leave him in the hands of Teressa for the rest of the Trip, I sit with Newt obviously, everything that just happened was all too Traumatic to talk about, I was still confused about that memory, was I pregnant? With Newts Baby...?

My eyes still red from Tears, I eventually feel into a deep calming sleep, everything was going to change...
