Lovers Maze

Deaths End

Chapter Twenty Four

I watch as the woman brings a gun to her forehead. "Remember, WICKED is good" she says and smiles.

Then she pulls the trigger and the screen goes blank. I tense up all over. The Maze was a test. Tommy was right.

This woman died, and so did many other Gladers, including Alby and so many others.

"Now what?" I ask breaking the silence.

"We go back"

We turn around Gally holds a gun pointed at Thomas. His eyes are black and I see immediately that he's been stung.

I gasp "Gally, please drop the gun" I beg as a tear slips.

"We were peaceful and happy until he came along and wrecked things" he said. But I could see it in his eyes that he wasn't controlling himself, we was practically crying.

I step forward and he turns the gun to me "Gally, I know you're not doing this, please control yourself and we can finally be free" I say softly.

He turns the gun back to Thomas "we were happy Billie"

Then he pulls the trigger.

I turn in shock and watch as Chuck takes the bullet. Then Mino throws his spear hitting Gally's chest.

I sink to the floor sobbing, letting the tears fall. Two of my best friends were killed. A boy, of about 12 and another of 17.

I turn to see Thomas gripping Chuck's hand. The two silently talking to each other.

"I'm sorry" Gally whispers and I turn shuffling toward him.

I pull the spear from his chest and snap it in my bare hands in pure rage. "Gally you shank! Why couldn't you just listen!" I exclaim picking up his head and setting it on my lap.

He coughs up blood "I couldn't control myself"

I nod "I know" I also know that a Chuck has died and everyone is listening to our conversation, I mean I broke a spear for shucks sake!

"You have to protect them"

I nod "I will"

"Don't let them find out about the truth" then I watch as his eyes go lifeless and he draws his last breath.

A tear slips from my cheek and onto his and I sob, I then slowly close his eyes and lift his head from my lap and place it on the floor.

"Billie.... I..." Minho begins but he's cut off as a set of doors are thrown open.

A group of people I'm armour and masks carrying big heavy loaded guns storm in and grab arms of remaining Gladers.

"You're safe now kids" a woman says "let's get you outside to safety" she adds smiling.

I stand up and take Newts hand and turn away from the past and look to the future. Thomas screams holding a fit about not wanting to leave Chuck and he cries really loudly.

We're guided outside, it's bright and it's practically a desert and onto a helicopter where we take off.

I sit cuddled up to Newt, silent tears falling down my face.

"You're safe now kids" a man says removing his mask.

We nod and look out the window, my mouth opens and I see the Maze and Glade. It's huge.

I turn away and cuddle into Newt. Another tears slips down my cheek

I lost my two best friends and my brother. I refuse to lose anyone else. Especially Newt, Minho, Tommy and Teresa.
