Safe Haven | Newt Death Cure Fanfiction [COMPLETED]

Chapter 7

Teresa led Minho to the room where Cara was recuperating. His heart sank when he saw the state that Cara was in. There were bandages on her right wrist, and multiple plasters on her hands. A supply of blood was connected to her through an IV while a breathing tube was sitting in between her lips. Upon getting a closer look, Minho noticed that the girl had lost a lot of weight and that huge, dark bags were under her eyes. She was also pale as snow and her lips were nearing purple. The steady beat of the heart monitor is the only thing that suggests that Cara was still alive.
"What did you do to her!" Minho cried as he held Cara's free hand gently.
"They gave her nightmares. Just like those they gave you." Teresa answered.
"Fucking stop saying 'they'. You were a part of this Teresa!! You did this to her the moment you snitched." Minho seethed with anger.
"You gotta let us go." Minho whispered lowly not wanting the guards to hear.
"You know I can't do that Minho." Teresa looked around but no one seemed to be paying attention.
"Can't you still see? You're killing her. And still you don't have a cure. When are you going to wake up Teresa?" Minho demanded.
"I'll leave you two." Teresa said before walking out.

"Please don't give up, C. They're coming to get us." He clutched Cara's free hand tightly hoping he could hear her.

"Wake up." A guard harshly woke up Minho who had only slept for a few hours.
"Teresa called for you. Your friend is awake." Minho quickly jumped out of his bed. It had only been that same evening when he saw Cara again but they didn't let him stay for long.

"Cara." Minho softly said as he entered the room. A pair of soft, sad eyes met his as he entered the room.
"She just woke up. We can't take off the breathing tube yet so she can't talk for now." Teresa stood up from her seat beside Cara's bed and walked over to Minho.
"Now go. Talk to her. I'll just be outside." She shut the door behind her.

"Hey, how are you?" Minho held her free hand again.
"Oh sorry. I forgot you can't talk." He scratched his head. Cara closed her eyes as tears fell down her cheeks.
"Listen to me. You can't give up Cara. Okay? They're coming to get us. I'm sure of that." Cara's eyes lighted up at this.
"Today, when I was on the train on my way here, they tried to rescue us. And they were able to free one train full of kids. Can you believe that? It's only a matter of time before they get us out of here." Minho whispered to her. He can see her struggling to believe what he just said.
"And Thomas, he promised me. He made a promise that he's not gonna leave me behind. And I'm pretty sure Newt is not gonna stop at anything to save you. Yeah?" Cara tried to nod but her head ached.
"It's okay. We'll be okay, yeah? We'll get the hell out of here, trust me. So you have to get strong. So we can escape. Yeah?" She gave the subtlest nod.

Minho continued to talk to Cara until she fell asleep.
