"Hey Sonya," Harriet kneeled over Sonya's grave. Her grave wasn't exactly a grave since it didn't have her body underneath it, unlike Ava. It just had a banner with her name on top of it. But other than that, there was also a stone in Paradise carved with the names of people that they lost.
"So I saw Newt today," Harriet continued. "Still wasn't able to tell him that I'm his little sister. But I will tell him, just give me time." Harriet looked at Sonya's name and sort of expected her friend to reply. Sonya was Harriet's best friend in the Maze and they were always able to rely on each other. It killed Harriet when Sonya died....to save her life.
Flashback....
Harriet and Sonya were helping the other Immunes escape the Maze before the entire things blows up to pieces. Harriet was fighting a Griever while Sonya was leading the other Immunes to safety.
"Harriet come on!" Sonya screamed.
"I have to hold this bloody thing off!" She cried out as she fought the Griever. "You go!"
Harriet continued to fight off the Griever with her spear. She didn't have much hope of escaping because this Griever was strong. She just wanted to hold it off long enough so that Sonya and the others could get to safety. The Griever suddenly waved away her spear away from her, leaving her defenseless. She tried to run from the Griever as fast as she can, but her legs were failing her. She's been fighting and running for far too long, she was tired.
Harriet was shocked when she saw Sonya holding the spear that the Griever waved away. She was running as fast as she could and she rammed the spear from the Griever's head to its body. Without wasting a second, Sonya grabbed Harriet's hand and tried to drag her into the hole where she saw Aris, yelling for them to hurry.
"I know what you were planning you idiot," Sonya scolded Harriet. They were getting closer and closer to the hole. "There's no way you're going to leave m-"
Sonya was cut off when the Griever, whom Sonya thought she had killed, had one of its arms ram through her stomach. It was the Griever's last act before it completely died. Harriet heard a scream leave her lips, an agonizing and heartbreaking scream.
"Sonya!" She cried. Harriet kneeled over Sonya's dying body. It should've been me.
"Run Harriet. Leave me," Sonya begged her friend.
"You just said that there's no way I'm leaving you," Harriet sobbed. "I'm staying with you. You're the only family I have left."
"No I'm not. You know I'm not." Sonya shook her head. Harriet knew what she was saying, what she was implying. "Now stop being stubborn and run."
Harriet felt hands drag her away from Sonya. She tried to fight it, but she didn't have any energy left. Harriet was always so certain that Sonya could make it out, that she will live, not her. Harriet raised her head to see Aris was the one dragging her away.
She didn't bother to fight off Aris' strong grip on her anymore. She just stared at Sonya who was going to breathe her very last breath.....alone.
Present...
With all that has happened with (Y/N) and Newt, Harriet thought that she'd be a burden to her big brother. He already had a lot to deal with, why should she add herself to the mix? Besides, she had Aris helping her. For now, that was enough.
