Mazes- The Death Cure

11- Ghosts

I opened my eyes to the sound of waves and birds around me. Looking out I saw two people sitting along the beach. The waves crashed in front of them. Recognizing them I smiled softly. Newt and Desiree. I slowly walked over and sat between them.

"What do I do now?" I asked looking out at the water and taking a deep breath.

"You'll know, you always do," Desiree said looking over and smiling at me.

"I don't know what to do without you guys," I added emotionally.

"Live on in our memory," Newt added.

"I should've died, not you guys," I said exhaling deeply.

"You have a whole world waiting for you, it's not your time to go yet," Desiree said securely. I looking over at both of them and wrapped my arms around them pulling them into me.

"I love you guys, you're my best friends," I said looking out at the setting sun.

"We're not completely gone. We'll always be with you," Newt said looking over at me.

"We're at peace, now it's your turn," Desiree said setting her head on my shoulder. I took a deep breath and shut my eyes.

My eyes quickly opened as I sat up panting. The sound of birds and laughter echoed from outside. I looked around the small tent I was in. Slowly getting off the cot I was on I looked at the stitches and cuts on me. Walking out I looked out at the beach in front of me. My eyes shot around to all the land around me. Walking down a small path people were everywhere. Turning an corner I stopped as my eyes met Minho's. He stared at me longingly as I quickly walked up to him.

"Bella,"

"Minho,"

I wrapped my arms around him and shut my eyes. There was so much being said with nothing being said at all. Setting my head on his shoulder I held him tightly. Tears rolled down my cheeks and onto his shirt as his muscles flexed against my back as we embraced.

"I thought I lost you," he said shakily.

"Never, i'm always with you," I said smiling softly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry about De-,"

"It's okay," I said shutting my eyes. Pulling back I looked up at him as he stared down at me emotionally.

"Thank you for saving me," He said giving a faint smile.

"Anytime," I said smiling. Looking out I smiled as Fry stood behind us.

"Fry," I said walking up to him quickly. Hugging him tightly he spun me around. I laughed and looked up at him.

"I missed your laugh Bella," he said.

"Aw you love me," I said laughing and hugging him. Brenda and Gally ran up quickly.

"Bella?!" Brenda asked. I ran over and hugged her tightly.

"I'm so glad you're okay," she said hugging me tightly. Looking over at Gally he gave me an unsure look before I hugged him tightly. Pulling back I ran my hands through his hair.

"Mija!" Jorge asked walking up towards me.

"Jorge," I said with relief as he embraced me.

"I thought I lost you," He said holding me tightly.

"You can't kill me," I said smiling. He laughed softly as his grip tightened. I tried to breathe in as he restricted me.

"Jorge, I can't breathe," I gasped. He quickly let go and pulled back. My eyes quickly spotted a familiar face. Thomas slowly stepped out of a tent and looked at me. My heart jumped as everything around me seemed to disappear. Nothing else mattered in that moment.  Everyone stopped and looked at us. As our gazes locked a soft smile tugged at my lips. His tall figure started walking towards me as I stepped closer to him. As our bodies met I looked up at him longingly. He stared down at me with a broken but relieved expression.

"Thomas," I mumbled wrapping my arms around him. Pressing my head into his chest I softly cried. He held my frame and stroked my hair gently. Tears rolled down my cheeks as he held me tightly.

"I love you," I said holding my arms around his neck.

"I love you," He said kissing my head. Pulling back I pressed my lips against his. He held my face as I shut my eyes. Peace. Serenity. Security. Pulling away I quickly embraced him tightly again. We were free.
