Safe Haven | Newt Death Cure Fanfiction [COMPLETED]

Chapter 25

I had no doubt in my mind that there was a way to save Newt. Not just buy him some time. But rid him of the virus. But what is my word against theirs? I can't seem to convince them and time is almost out.
"Gally please!! Help me convince Thomas!" I cried out to Gally after catching up to him.
"Let's focus on getting to Brenda and giving him that Serum, C." He tried to argue.
"See, we just have to make it there. They'll be waiting for us!" He pointed towards the outskirts of the city.
"No we won't make it! And he's way too infected! The serum probably won't work on him anymore!!!" I reasoned. But Its useless. They won't listen.
"Fine, I'll catch up." I set my mind on going back to WICKED. I just needed some damn needles and other equipment. And the building's not that far away anyway. So I proceed to run back.
"Cara!!!" Gally shouted from behind me but I kept on running.

"Shit!!" Minho and Gally dropped Newt on the ground as they watched Cara run back to WICKED.
"Where's Cara?" Newt slurred. His growing insanity prevented him from understanding what was happening as he lay dazed and exhausted on the pavement.
"I'll get her." Gally said but he was stopped by Thomas.
"No, I'll go. You wait for us here." He said as he ran after Cara.
"Bring her back, greenie."

I looked back and saw Thomas running after me. Exactly what I wanted. As I neared the building, I noticed guards patrolling the front.
"What do we do?" I asked Thomas as he arrived at my side.
"Shit I threw away my head gear." With the two of us exposed, we'd immediately become targets. Just as I ran out of ideas, explosions started happening all around. An angry mob with torches and weapons set fire to the surrounding buildings and structures as they marched towards the headquarters.
This took all of the guards' attentions as they started approaching the mob, shooting at the people and preventing them for going any further. This is our chance.
"Go! Go! Go!" Thomas and I ran to the entrance pushing away everyone that was in our way. It didn't help that everyone else was on there way out as we tried to get in. WICKED personnel were also leaving the building in a panic, their survival instinct preventing them from noticing us.
We were able to squeeze ourselves in and the place slowly grew deserted as everyone fled. As we were making our way to the medical wing someone in white approached us slowly. I first thought it was a ghost.
"Ava." I breathed.
"You're here because you know you could still save him." She said knowingly. I surveyed her sad eyes.
"We're not sure yet." Thomas said wearily
"Teresa took a sample of your blood. It is the cure, Thomas." So it is true.
"Then let us go, while we still have time." I made my way forward but she caught my arm. Thomas pointed his gun.
"You could save the world, child. You both can save the world, if you just let me help you." She looked at me with motherly longing. And in that moment I would have reciprocated. But there was simply no time.
"I promi-" But Ava didn't get to finish her sentence. I heard a gun shot echo. And then, blood spreading through her white clothing.
"No! No. No!!" I caught her before she fell and cradled her in my arms. I cried as I held her. She may have done me and my friends wrong, but she still raised me as her own.
"What did you do!!!" I screamed in grief at Janson who had the fatal weapon in his hands. But he paid no heed and proceeded to stun Thomas, making him go unconscious. I watched in horror as he paid his attention to me next. Before I was able to say the word, I heard his gun go off and my body jolts against the impact of the bullet. The world goes black.
