I was still crying over the fact I just killed Newt and I raced up to WICKED's building. As I walked into the building I saw Ava Paige looking out into the window.

With a deep breath I aimed my gun at her with tears down my face.

" Is it true? Newt, Could I have saved him," I said.

" You can save us all," I said and I let out a sob and threw the gun away," Its okay,"

"Just leave the others alone," I said.

" I promise," Ava said.

Suddenly a gunshot ran and I saw that Ava had a pool of blood seep through her top. Ava grunted before falling to the ground.

I looked up and saw Janson behind her with a gun aiming at me. My eyes widened as he walked closer to me before injecting a needle in my neck.

I suddenly felt dizzy and I tried to walk but I was unable to be stable. I grunted before I fell to the ground breathing heavily.

" Oh Sophie you should have run," Janson said before my vision filled with Darkness.

I fluttered my eyes open and I saw Lawrence's people still exploding things and I turned and saw Teresa looking down. I followed her gaze and saw a needle in my arm and my blood in the container. I noticed that i was strapped down to a chair.

" Do you know what this place is Sophie?" Janson said as I turned my head to see him staring out the window, " It is a lifeboat and the whole world might be sinking but it doesn't mean that we have to go down with it how much longer," 

I glanced at my restraints and tried getting out.

" I am almost done," Teresa said.

" Why don't you just kill me, I know you want to ," I said.

" Kill you No we don't wanna do that," Janson said and stepped towards me. " We are gonna take special care of you we will keep you alive and in return you will give life to the rest of us. The ones we choose to save anyway," He said and picked up a needle from the counter.

" Of course there is not gonna be enough for everyone Hard choices are gonna have to be made In time the flare virus will burn itself out. The only question is who will be the ones left standing and thanks to you o this we finally get to choose a future of our own making," 

I watched as he grabbed a sample of the cure and placed it in the needle  and he rolled up his sleeve revealing black and purple veins in his arms. I glanced up at Janson before glass shattered against his head before he fell to the ground.

I looked and saw Teresa behind him and she grabbed the needle beofre she came back to me

" Okay let's get out of here," Teresa said.
