Trenda • The Maze Runner

Chapter 17

SONG OF CHAPTER: End of me by a day to remember

Minho POV

        I wake up in the heart of WICKED. The medical center where so called "friends" of mine had their memories wiped and returned. I have had this job from the beginning, to become friends with the subjects to measure the amount of trust i had gained compared to the trust level of Teresa. Teresa. She was a fine subject but WICKED couldn't let Thomas have the one thing that kept him going. I have to get him and Brenda to come back so I can take them back to The Maze, to the trials again. But this time they will have their memories of eachother and all the events leading up to it. I can't help but remember the bond me and Thomas had. All those fights and journeys we had worked together for, mean nothing.

Brenda POV

        I can't turn myself into WICKED, not after all that i have fought for. But that little girl does need us. I am at a loss. I can either lose the girl, my life, or worse.....Thomas.... I can't have that. Before i can finish my thought Thomas is tugging on my arm pulling to the kitchen to grab the bow. "thomas i can't" i whisper. "can't what?" he says. "i can't turn myself into WICKED just for them to kill me" i say with a strong tone. "i can't either... but these people need us" he says looking at his shoes. "i know but...but....what about us? What about everything we've been through!" i yell on the verge of tears. "brenda, i love you. i do. and we need to do this together because i can't go on living without you. I rather die than not be with you. Turning ourselves in together means we will BE together, till the very end.." he says with a touch of sadness. "okay tom....i trust you...." i say looking at my shoes. I feel Thomas come over and wrap his arms around me. We stay like this for a while. Just hugging eachother taking in the safety of being with him. "I'm ready thomas. Lets go" i say grabbing the bow. He smiles and we break into a run towards the forest where MInho was picked up.
