Hello. I changed my username from Not_Newt_Not_Cute to fangirl_anna_ because I have another story that's not Maze Runner related and I might publish it once it's done. Just thought you guys would like to know :)

"We should get back now." I say. "The sun's going to set soon which means it's going to get dark out and I don't want to be stuck in the woods when it's pitch black out."

Thomas nods and we walk back to his house.

"You can sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the couch."

"No, it's your-" I protest.

"Yes."

"Okay, thanks." I was too tired to argue, so I drag myself up the stairs and jump into the bed.

I shut my eyes and immediately fall asleep.

She smiles.

"Hello, Teresa."

"Brenda? But you're dead..."

"And this is a dream."

She laughs.

"If it's my dream, what are you doing in it?"

"Well..."

"You were that voice in my head, weren't you?"

"Now you know why I'm here."

"How is that even possible?"

"Maybe I'm not dead?"

"But...the ceiling...it fell on you."

"And then they saved me."

"But..."

"What?"

"Anna was my best friend. You warned me that something was going to happen-why?"

"W.I.C.K.E.D., they're bad people. I'm jut trying to help. I'll be there soon."

"Wait!"

"Remember: W.I.C.K.E.D. isn't good."

The dream fades.

"Ahh!" I scream.

"Teresa?" Thomas says, I can hear him running up the stairs. "Teresa! What's wrong?"

"She's...she's..." I start to hyperventilate.

"Calm down. Everything's okay. You're alright. See-I'm right here." He says and hugs me.

"It was her..."

"Shh..." Thomas kisses my forehead. My breathing starts to return to normal. Should I tell him? What if he wants her back instead of me?

"Brenda...she was...the voice..." I say, taking breaths in between words.

"What? She's dead, Teresa. It was just a dre-"

"No. No, it wasn't. I know it wasn't." I insist. "She said she'd be here soon."

"Teresa..." Thomas says with a sigh.

"It's true. You can have her back. You two-" He cuts me off by kissing me.

"If she really is coming-okay. But I still love you, Teresa. I'll always love you. Nothing can change that." He says and I smile.

"And I'll always love-"

"Guys!" Minho says, barging into the bedroom and interrupting me. Why do people keep doing that?

I sigh, "What?"

"Brenda's here...alive." He says and looks at our unsurprised expressions. "You knew?"

"Yeah." Thomas says.

"Oh, well, you do want to see her, right?"

"Sure." I say. "I need to ask her something."

Hehe. I've always hated Brenda, so I decided to make her more likable in my story. Thank you so much to the person that voted (?) for one of my chapters! I'm so sorry that I don't know what your user is, but I'll try to find out. Again, thank you so much! Love you guys!

Anna
