Play - Runaway by AURORA
Walking up to the group sat on the rocks, she looked to see them all with new coats on, eating bowls of soup. "Hey Thea." Fry greeted as she walked up to the group and sat next to Minho.
"You alright?" Minho asked.
"Yeah, just found out some stuff, that's changed my perspective on a few things." she answered looking at the floor.
"Like what?" Teresa asked.
"A lot of things actually, more about myself than anything. But apparently we all knew each other before we got sent into the maze." she explained.
"What like we were friends?" Minho asked.
"Yes and no. We were all friends but we all also knew each other before the maze, but we were there for years apparently and they all trained us in different aspects and then after a few years, one by one threw us into the maze." she said glancing at Newt who was already looking at her.
"Well, that adds another thing on the list to despise Wicked for." Minho chuckled, as he said that Athena couldn't help but notice the slight glare Teresa sent him. "I mean, couldn't even let us keep what we knew of each other. No. they just had to take that away too." he said with an eye roll.
The group chuckled at his sass but also the truthness. "Thea, can I speak with you for sec?" Newt asked standing up.
As she nodded the two walked away from the group till they were out of ear shot. "What's up?" Athena asked looking at the ground.
Lightly grabbing her chin he tilted her head up to look at him, "I should be the one asking you that."
She chuckled, "I guess. Finn just told me a few things that have opened my eyes a bit more to my past."
"What that we knew each other. Are we all that bad."
She giggled at his playfulness, "A little bit yes. But that's not what I meant he told me a few other things more about just me but i'll tell you that a different day."
"As long as you tell me." he said leaning in, after the pair shared a soft kiss she pulled out her necklace holding her ring.
"So I was thinking." she started, "Finn told me that this used to be yours. Just the chain not the ring - the ring was mine apparently- but since Thomas ends up dragging me in every situation he can I was wondering. If you could look after this." she asked, removing the chain over her head and grabbing Newt's hand and placing it in his palm.
"Thea" Newt started.
"Honestly, it's okay." she reassured grabbing his face with her hands. "I'm surprised the ring hasn't broken yet to be completely honest. But I love you and I trust you with it in every bone in my body."
"I love you too." Newt replied, closing his palm around it, and wrapping his arms around her waist. Pulling her in for a kiss they shared a kiss full of passion and devotion.
As they pulled away from their few kisses, Athena took the chain from his hand and put it round his neck and hid in under his shirt.

The cold wind flowing through the air, Thomas walked up the rocks to Fry, Minho, Newt and Athena whose hands were interlocked and his thumb rubbing her knuckles.
"I wish Alby could've seen all this." Newt said, as he looked out over the refuge site.
"And Winston." Frypan added.
"Jeff and Zart." Minho added.
"Even Gally." Athena mumbled.
"And Chuck." Thomas added.
"He'd been proud of you, you know, Tommy." Newt assured.
"They all would have been." furthered.
"Yeah." Thomas nodded.
"Hey, Aris." Frypan shouted to the boy who was catching up with Sonya and Harriet.
"Hey, guys!" he shouted back waving his arms.
"I kinda like that kid."
"He's a great kid." Athena said with a smile.
"Yeah. Still don't trust him, though." Minho said, repeating a recent statement he made when they first met him, causing the group to chuckle.
As the wind started to pick up, Newt pulled Athena closer to him for heat.
"Hey, where's Teresa?" Thomas asked.
"She went up there." Newt said pointing up at another hill.
--------------------------
Climbing up the rocks Thomas got to the top and walked over to Teresa. "Hey, you okay? What are you doing up here?"
She turned her head around to look at him but quickly looked back as if she was expecting something. "Just thinking."
"All right, I'll let you be alone." Thomas offered, turning away.
"Did you ever know your mother?" she asked, causing Thomas to look at her again.
"Uh...I think so." Thomas said stepping towards her more.
"I remember mine." She answered, fully looking at him now. "She was a beautiful woman. Everybody loved her. And before WCKD she was all I had."
"When she got sick, I didn't know what to do. I just kept her locked up. Hidden. I thought she'd get better. Every night she'd make these awful sounds, like screaming. And then one night, she just stopped. She was finally quiet. I went down to her room. There was blood everywhere, but she was just sitting there calm. She said she was better." she explained her eyes glossing over.
"The visions were gone. She'd taken care of them." Teresa paused. "She'd taken her eyes out, Thomas. There are millions of people suffering out there, Thomas. Millions of stories, just like mine. We can't turn our backs on them. I won't." Teresa stated, tears now falling down her face.
Thomas looked at her, "What are you saying?" he stammered.
"I'm saying, I want you to understand."
"Understand what?" His voice became slightly raised.
"Why I did it." she replied.
Seeing lights in the distance and a noise echoing through the mountain range. Thomas looked behind her to see two helicopters flying towards the camp site.
"Teresa..." Thomas said in disbelief.
"Please don't fight them, Thomas." Teresa pleaded.
"What have you done?" he breathed heavily. "What have you done?" he repeated stepping away from her.
Not giving her time to answer, he ran down the mountain to warn his friends.
"No!" Thomas cried as a helicopter shot C4 down at the campsite.
People screamed and cried. Fear covered people's emotions. Everyone running in despair.
