In the POV of a certain girl

AKA "The Betrayer"

Or Teresa, whichever you prefer

A day in the Glade...

Third Person POV

------

Teresa stared at the boy in front of her. He looked completely horrified.

His eyes darted around the room, coming to rest on a spot to his left.

Faster than Teresa could process, he grabbed a knife and had her pinned against the floor. She stared up at her best friend, noticing the insane look in his eyes. The look of a boy who jad seen too much.

"Teresa is dead." Thomas said calmly, too calmly. "WICKED, stop messing with my head. I watched her die right in front of me. Stop it with the hallucinations."

"Tom!" Teresa yelled, "It's me!"

"Shut up!" He snarled, "I'm done with your trials, WICKED."

Just then, the door burst open.

Hands grabbed ThomwsThomas, pulling him back.

"Dude!" Minho yelled, "Chill out!"

"Calm down Tommy!" Newt yelled.

All movement from Thomas stopped at that point. He shifted around and stared at Newt.

"Please, Tommy. Please."

"NoNoNoNoNo..." Thomas scooted across the floor, trying to get as far away from Newt as he could.

"Tommy? What's wrong?" Newt asked.

"I-I watched you die, Newt." He yelled, his voice coming to a whisper at the next part, "It was all my fault. I KILLED YOU!"

Thomas looked at Newt and all he could see was the image of his friend slowly going insane. Looking more and more like a crank.

Teresa had stood up and now watched as Thomas covered his ears as if hearing something.

She looked at Newt, "He said we died. That doesn't make sense."

Newt shook his head while Minho looked thoughtful, "You think he could've seen the future somehow?"

Newt was about to reply when the door burst open again.

"I heard screaming." Alby stated calmly, Chuck standing behind him.

Thomas's head shot up, "No..." he muttered quietly, slowly standing.

"Let me guess," Minho said sarcastically, "They're dead too?"

Thomas nodded, "You were there Minho. Alby sacrificed himself. Gally killed Chuck. We were told Newt wasn't immune. You never knew, but I killed him later on." He spat the last part, "And when we went to save the immunes, Teresa saved me and got crushed by the wall or sky or whatever it was falling on her. Don't you remember?"

"You've got one crazy imagination." Minho muttered.

"Thomas?" Chuck asked, "Dude, please don't go insane like some of the others."

Thomas couldn't stop the tears, "I know you're not real, Chuck. I wish you had made it, but only four of us did. We started with fifty or sixty and ended with four. Isn't that funny?"

"I think the shank's gone insane." Newt whispered to Alby.

Alby ignored him, "Who were the four?" He asked.

"Me, Minho, Frypan, and Gally. The rest of you are dead. Minho, don't tell me you don't remember? Or did WICKED wipe your memories again?" He laughed.

"Either this shank saw the future somehow, or he's gone insane, and I want to know which." Alby said, walking out of the room,  followed my Teresa, Newt, Chuck, and Minho, leaving Thomas alone.
