The Maze Triangle x OC

Ch.24

I felt my breathing picking up more as I stared up at Newt everything for my hearing went deaf.

I didn't hear what they were speaking I just felt like I was slowly dying.

Newt played with my hair holding me tightly
The women came over "I was worried they'd kill you after what you did" I heard her vaguely say.

She came over to me touching my arm and feeling my head.

I felt my eyes slowly shutting letting darkness consume me.

Thomas POV

"The first time we spoke, you said you couldn't take it anymore you and McKenna." The women said looking down at her.

"Watching your guys friends die. One by one." She said. "You knew McKenna too?" I asked confused.

"Yes, I knew McKenna she was a smart girl. Always knew right from wrong. Tried going against what her mother did she said she wanted to take them down one by one." The women said.

"The last time we spoke you gave me the coordinates of every WICKED compound trial and lab" Vince looks at me "you two were our sources"

I was quiet for a second "we couldn't have pulled this off without those two. I remember one day; McKenna running up to me and telling me she was leaving. She told me she couldn't take it anymore and gave every piece of information her mother gave her and made her do to help stop them. As well as what they were going to do." She said looking at her. "McKenna was going to escape and find a way to get them out of the maze, before she did. I was going to help her escape but they found out and took her in. It was too late."

"Take her to the tent." She ordered. "Get these guys some warm clothes." The women orders.

I looked at McKenna as they gently lifted her "I got her" I said the women smiled at me I held her gently in my arms and took her to where she was needed.

Brenda looked at me one last time with sadness before I went inside the tent. I didn't forgive Brenda for what she did at the party. I made sure she knew that.

I held McKennas hand tightly as she was asleep. "In the beginning we were lost all we knew for sure. Was that the younger you two were the stronger the chances." She said.

Newt was sitting on the other side "you worked for WICKED?" Thomas said.

"Yes McKenna and her real mother did." She said.

"McKennas mom and I were best friends since we were kids, when she had found out she was pregnant while working with WICKED,  she realized she didn't want to work for WICKED anymore and didn't want the child to be in danger, but knew she couldn't raise her own child either. So she ran away. She gave her kid up for her own safety. Along with thinking she did the right thing. But she didn't."The women spoke.

I looked at McKenna shocked along with Newt.

"It was a long time ago, you know at first.  We had the best intentions. Find a cure save the world. Her mom and I were bound to do that. It was clear you kids were the key. Because you were immune. Well some." She said looking at McKenna.

"Eventually we found an answer. An enzyme produced by the brains of the immune. One separates from the bloodstream." She continued to mix things together. "It can serve as a powerful agent. To slow the spread of the virus."

"So you found a cure?" I asked. "Not exactly the enzyme can't be manufactured only harvested from the immune. The young." She whispered.

"Of course that didn't stop WICKED if they had their way they'd sacrifice an entire generation." "All for this." She held up a needle.

"A gift of biology of evolution. But one meant for all of us." She came over to McKenna.

I noticed her breathing picked up Newt played with her hair while I squeezed her hand, the women soon put it in her. Please work.

She slowly started to relax, "how long will that give her?" I asked.

"It's different for everyone, a few months maybe" she replied.
