THE AFTERMATH (after the death cure)

The Night Before

TERESA POV

Sleep would not be possible right now. Instead, I sit on the edge of my bed staring at the blank wall in front of me. My mind wanders and I let it. I think about all of the possible scenarios that could happen when Newt, Rachel and I all make it to location ABI. How will everyone react? What will it be like? What will I say? What will Tom think? I remember the advice that Ava gave us. Inform the people with lesser relationships with you so they can tell to the people with the stronger ones. How are we meant to do that? What if we walk into the place and Thomas, Minho and Aris are all standing right in front of us. They'll probably think they're going mad. Even pass out from shock. Will they be angry at me? I did betray Thomas after all. But doesn't he understand that I did it for him? WICKED was very clear that they would kill Thomas if I didn't. But there is one thought that hurts the most. What if Brenda and Thomas are... together? I don't even think I can stand the thought of seeing them with each other. The scene might actually kill me.

I decide it's no use. Dreaming about the possibilities won't change what will happen, but if only it could. If only I could talk to him again. Just so he could know...

All I ever cared about was him.

NEWT POV

I have a sister. I repeat the phrase over and over in my head like a mantra.

I have a sister. I have a sister. I have a sister.

Almost like a way to try and summon any familiarity to the sentence. But nothing. When Rachel threw her arms around me I was surprised but it was almost as if muscle memory took over and I replicated the action. It felt familiar but there was no way to confirm my suspicions.

I have a sister. I have a sister. I have a sister.

The mantra eventually lulls me to sleep.

"You're going to forget me! And worst of all I'm going to forget you!" The girl sobs, arms wrapped around my body. Her head buried in my shoulder.

It's my last day at WICKED before they put me into the maze. I'm not supposed to know but Tommy told me yesterday. Even though he was separated from us most of the time I considered him as a friend. I could see the pity in his eyes but I understood why they had to do it. At least I would see Minho and Alby who were already in "the glade" as they called it. But then again they won't remember me. Just like I won't remember them. I try to find some comforting words for the girl but everything seems wrong because she's right. I won't remember her and she won't remember me. This is probably the last time we will see each other. The thought brings tears to my eyes but I blink them back.

"It's okay, It'll be fine." The words feel empty on my lips.

I pull away and bend down slightly to get to her eye level. I look into her chocolate brown eyes that match the shade of my own. I cast my mind back to when they took us in. When they killed our parents right in front of us. She's so strong, yet so young...

"We'll see each other again. I'll make sure of it. Please don't worry. I know we'll survive. We're fighters." I soothe. The girl nods. She smooths her dirty blond hair and takes a shaky breath.

"We'll see each other again." She says, lifting her head a little higher. I nod.

"I'll remember you." Her face displaying her determination. "You know why?" She asks.

"Why?" I reply awed by her optimism.

"Because you're my brother"

"And you're my sister Lizzy."

A/N

I loved writing this one. Being able to try and guess what happened before the maze really fascinates me.
