Emma's Pov
We had finally made it out of the Maze. I felt so relieved but that was soon taken away. We had endured all of that only to find out about the Scorch trials. Could our lives possibly get any worse? I looked around for Minho but I couldn't find him. Thomas found me and put a hand on my shoulder. I began to relax. That night I went to sleep not knowing where he was. Thomas had stayed with me and reassured me that he's alright. Minho was a survivor. I knew he was alive, I just didn't know what happened to him after we got seperated. I was awakened by a loud crack. I shot straight up to see the dark clouds and rain beginning to fall. There in the distance I spied a person. Who was that?
" Emma!" The person chanted. I squinted my eyes trying to figure out who it was. The longer I listened, I realized who it was. It was Minho! He was trying to find me.
" Minho! " I shouted as I ran towards him. Suddenly a flash of light went off, nearly blinding me. I opened my eyes just in time to see Minho fall down. The lightning must have struck him! Fear welled up inside of me, causing me to run faster than I've ever ran before. Suddenly I stopped dead in my tracks. The pain I was feeling was unbearable. I dropped to the ground in agony. What happened to me?
Minho's Pov
After I recovered from getting struck, I was on my feet looking for Emma. Now I know what you're thinking. How can someone just get up after they've been struck by lightning? Well, it only got my left hand. It was in severe pain but the second I saw another flash of light, I had to make sure Emma was okay. Once I got to her, I stared in horror. She had obviously been struck. I started screaming for help as I kneeled down to her. Thankfully someone heard me and they brought a stretcher for Emma. They carried her back to the safe house and I followed. I took her hand and waited for her to wake up. After a while I dozed off. I felt my hand move and I jerked up to see she was awake. I didn't even let her speak before I hugged her tight and and crashed my lips on her's. I pulled away. We were both crying, hopefully from happiness. I leaned in again and laid my lips on top of hers. No words were spoken as they weren't needed. We were both thinking the same thing. Happy to see each other alive.
