#11 Chaos Aftermath

We had to wait till morning, in order for me and everyone else to get over the shock of what had happened last night.

I didn't sleep, even though Harriet said I should and it would be good for me. I don't think anyone got to sleep in the early hours of the morning. I spent most of the time pacing, back and forth and back and forth.

We also thought we could see the damage better in daylight.

When the dreaded time finally did come, everyone was silent. There were still fires and smoke rising.

I trodded through the camp, with a gun slumped in my hand. I made sure the safety was on.

Throwing my jacket to the side, I continued looking over what had been a safe place. Not anymore.

I finally stopped by Harriet and sat on a small crate by her, she put an arm around my shoulder and I leant into her for comfort. Harriet was a strong woman, independent. A great friend.

I kept my eyes on the floor, not looking up. The events from last night hitting me full on.

"What do we do now?"

"Now," Vince answered, "we pick up what's left of us. Stick to the plan, get you kids to the safe haven." He stood up. "We start over, I guess."

"Im not going with you." Thomas announced, standing up.

I looked at him questionably, I knew he was going after Minho, and I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted Teresa back as well, but I don't trust her at all anymore.

"What?" Vince asked.

"I made a promise to Minho." He explained, "I wouldn't leave him behind and I have to go after him."

I stood up, kind of wanting to go with him, for Sonya and Aris.

"Hey kid, look around you, alright? WCKD just kicked our ass. You think about where your headed." He ranted.

"I'm not asking anyone to come with me."

"Thomas listen to me." Newt said softly. "I've known Minho for... well as long as I can remember. So, if there's any way we could help him, trust me, I will be up there standing next to you. But this, what you're talking about is impossible."

"More like suicide." Chimed Jorge, coming out from nowhere.

"Maybe." Thomas said, "but I know what I'm supposed to do now." He re-asjusted the straps of his bag, stepping forward. "It's not just about Minho, it's about all of us. It's about everyone WCKD's ever taken, anyone they will take. They'll never stop...
They'll never stop. So, I'm going to stop them. I'm going to kill that bitch."

Teresa or Ava?

"I have to admit." Said Harriet, "I'd like some revenge."

"Well that's a good speech, kid." Vince agreed, "so what's your plan."

We all looked at Thomas, almost in sync, for an answer.

This is it. We're getting Minho and Aris and Sonya back.

And I'll never let them get taken away again...

A/n: ahhhh. Scorch Trials COMPLETED! I'm so proud of myself. :)
