A few hours had passed, and Ava was finally relaxed. The girl had introduced them to Vince, and he decided whether you got to stay or not. Luckily, they could. However, during the time Thomas and Brenda were separated from the others, Brenda was infected. She was currently being looked after and Ava wondered if she would be okay. She sat and stared at the fire as it swayed in the gentle breeze.
"Ava." She turned her head, a smile crawling onto her face.
"Het, Newt. Are you enjoying yourself?" She asks.
"Yeah. Though, you look as though you're in distress. Are you okay?"
"I was just thinking, is all."
"About what?" She gives him a look. "Ava, come on."
"I just, what do you think's gonna happen in the future for us? I mean, us. Me and you."
"I don't know what you mean?"
"I mean, okay, so you know that a woman's natural calling is for children, right? Do you really think that's ever gonna happen with us living like this? Is that even what you want?"
"I want you." He replies. "No matter what happens, I'm always gonna want you. I think, we just have to take it a day at a time. And if chance would have it, then children may be on the agenda."
"But in the future, though."
"The far, far future." They both smiled and he leant in for a kiss.
"Hey!" A voice yelled, causing Ava to turn around. She saw her brother running towards them in utter panic. "They're coming! We've gotta get out of here!"
"Who's coming?" Newt asked. As if answering his question, there was an explosion, not too far away from them. Ava looked up, seeing huge aircrafts going over them.
"WCKD."
-----
Everyone was lined up, as WCKD counted everyone that was present. Ava looked up at Teresa, disgust in her eyes. She had to do something. Otherwise, everyone would be taken back to WCKD and she didn't want them to suffer. She locked eyes with Jorge, who held up a small device, ready to throw it to her.
"Ava, dear. You can come home." A woman in a white suit said. "After all, you are our greatest hope." She stood up.
"Okay."
"Ava." Thomas said, like he'd just been betrayed.
"Although, before I go with you, there's something you should know." She said, causing the woman to furrow her eyebrows. "I have a bomb." She turned her body towards Jorge, who threw it towards her, just enough for her to catch it. "You better back off, or I'm gonna set it off."
"You would really do that? Kill all of your friends? Your brother?"
"If they go with you, they're dead anyways."
"Ava, please." Teresa said, taking a step towards her. "Please don't fight them. You don't have to do this."
"What gives you the right to talk to me? You betrayed us. It'd do me good to never see your face ever again." She seethes.
"Ava." Newt says, close behind her. "Do it."
"What?"
"He's right, Ava." Minho adds, both he and Thomas gathering with them. "We're with you."
"Do it." The next thing she knew, there was a gun shot. Ava gasped, feeling a pain shoot through her hip.
"Thomas?" She breathed. She felt rather weakened by this point, as if her legs were gonna give way. Suddenly, she dropped forwards, and right into Jenson's arms.
"Take her." The woman ordered.
"Ava!" Minho tried to get to her, as did the others. However, Minho managed to get himself captured. WCKD carted them onto the aircraft, leaving the others in the destruction they caused. Jenson had Ava in his arms, as she breathed heavily. She was frightened she would die, but was sure Teresa would have something to say about it.
-----
"I'm scared." Ava admitted, sat beside Minho. They had their hands chained up and, as well as the other's they captured, were on a train being transported elsewhere.
"I'm scared too." Minho said. "But I'm not gonna let them hurt you, I swear." She laid her head on his shoulder.
"Do you think they're gonna come for us?"
"They wouldn't leave us. You know that."
"I know, I just wanted to hear it said." Suddenly, the train stopped. There was lots of commotion outside, followed by gunfire and someone banging on the side of the train.
"Ava! Minho! Hello!" A voice yelled.
"What the hell?"
-----
Even after all that, nothing happened. They still got to where they were going. Ava stayed as close to Minho as physically possible.
"Looks like they didn't get what they were looking for." Jenson said, staring down at them. "Good job we kept you together." As the two of them sat there, they wondered what would be in store for them. What kind of intentions WCKD had for them. If they'd ever see their friends again. If they would be separated.
"Get up." Someone in a mask ordered, grabbing Ava by the arm.
"Where are we going?" She asked. "Minho."
"Ava."
"Let go of me!" She shrieked. They clamped a metal bracelet around her wrist.
"Patient zero, take her to Teresa." He said.
"No, no no. Not Teresa. Please. Minho!" They dragged her inside and into a room where they handcuffed her to the table. The doors slid shut, sealing her and Teresa inside.
"Hi, Ava." She didn't reply. "The band on your wrist mean they'll be able to track you where ever you are in the building. They say you're our most valuable asset. That's why they've assigned me to you. I'm gonna be your therapist. Your doctor. Your friend."
"You're NOT my friend!" Ava snapped. "You are a bad person. You are a bitch. I hate you. I hate you so much. No matte what you say, or what you do, I won't ever stop fighting you. I will continue to try and get away from here, even if it kills me. And if you hurt Minho, I will kill you."
