My Muse

Losing Them

"Me." Ben's voice whispered.

"You're going to live, I won't let you die." Minho's determined voice rang throughout my head.

"You're controlling all of us and then you're going to destroy us!! It's all your fault!!" Ben shouted, his image appeared in my head, until he was in a glass tube that was filling with water and slowly drowning him.

Newt appeared, sitting at a table, smiling and staring at a girl with raven black hair and honey-colored eyes dreamily. The next second, he was kissing her, and an image of me and Minho appeared, I was angerly glaring at Newt and the girl.

All of a sudden, Minho and the girl melted away, it was just me and Newt. "I like you." I blurted out, he looked at me in surprise.

"Really? S-So do I, ever since I laid eyes on you." He grabbed cupped my face in his hands and kissed me. Until a tall glass tube went around Newt and started drowning him, he said a last sentence before it covered his whole face. "I'll still remember you even if they erase my memories, I'll always remember our love!" The tube filled up, and Newt's face washed away, I saw nothing but black until a picture of me crying in Minho's arms came. He was comforting me as sobs escaped my lips and tears made an ocean on the floor.

"Don't worry, I won't leave." He promised, before another glass tube seperated us and water slowly filled it.

"Minho!" I yelled, tears still flowing, he looked at me.

"Don't worry! I won't forget you! You're my best friend!" He called.

"Chuck. I'm going to protect you. I'll never leave you." I said as I hugged Chuck tightly. Just as we parted, he was in the same glass tube that took Ben, Newt, and Minho away. Water filled it up, and with Chuck not being tall, it filled up much faster, as so did my tears. "No!! Not you!! Not now!" I shouted as Chuck was drowning from the water.

"I love you, big sis!!" He yelled, putting a hand against the glass, I put my hand on the glass, mirroring his.

"I love you, too, little bro." I whispered before he disappeared and I was left alone. Thomas appeared in front of me, wearing a white labcoat with a word on the breast pocket- W.I.C.K.E.D

"You took my brother, my boyfriend, and my best friend!! How could you possibly be doing this for the greater good of mankind?!" I shouted as a girl with jet black hair and blue eyes held me back as Thomas stood back, frightened.

"Look, I'm giving you a chance to escape this place." He whispered.

"Screw you!! You're not doing anything to help me!! If I leave I'll never be with them! You don't even care about them! You only care about using them as lab rats that won't help a thing for humanity!!!" He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I'm sorry, I really am but-"

"No, you're not! You took Newt, my boyfriend, he showed me love! You took Minho, my best friend, he showed me friendship and how to laugh again!! Then you had to take my little brother?!?! He was 13!! Chuck was the only hope I had left in the world, my only family left!! And you call that good?! Do you think you can solve that with an 'I'm sorry'?!?!"

"Fine!! If you want to destroy all of them, go ahead! Just remember, it'll be your fault!" He yelled, everything sliced in half as a huge half monster half beast appeared, running towards me and roaring.

"No!!" I screamed, I felt a pair of hands trying to hold me back, but I tried to fight against them. She was holding me back, at least I think it was her-- the girl with jet black hair and blue eyes as I yelled and screamed at Thomas about taking away my family and friends. "Newt!! Chuck!!" I called desperately, then I heard their voices, but all I could see was images if them drowning.

"Catlin!! We're here! Come down!!" Newt's soothing voice shouted at me, the grip getting tighter.

"Sis, calm down!!" Chuck's voice pleaded.

"No, Minho!! Stop! Thomas, stop all this madness!! They're tricking you!! Theresa, get off of me!!" That's when everything got silent and their images disappeared, I opened my eyes. I was in a bed. With Newt, Chuck, Minho, and Thomas all there, staring at me with confusion.

"Catlin... what did you say?" Thomas softly asked. I sat up and looked at all of them, everyone I looked at brought new memories. Chuck, my little brother, the only hope I have left in the world. Minho, my best friend who made me laugh after all the madness. Newt, my boyfriend, the one who showed me how to love. And Thomas, the boy who was involved in putting us in this death trap. But who was this Theresa girl? She definantly worked with Thomas, but if Thomas ended up here, then where is she? And why did I come here with Thomas instead of Theresa?

"It's a long story."
