chapter 27 || wickeds return

I ran as fast as my feet could take me. I needed to run, to run away from Teresa. I heard distant shouts being thrown at each other now that the Berg had landed. The Right Arm yelled, Wicked yelled, all of them mixed together.

"Newt!" I cried out through the haze, trying to find the blond.

"Y/N?" He yelled into the haze. I couldn't see him, but I listened to his voice, following it.

Newt's voice lead me to a truck, Vince stood in the middle with a huge gun that was connected to the truck, Minho, Newt, Harriet, and Sonya stood around him, all with guns of their own.

"Do you know how to use this thing?" Vince asked as he placed a gun in my hand. I looked at it stunned a little, maybe intimidated too.

An arm grabbed me, making me point the gun at them.

"Oh my god, Brenda!" I shouted over the yells.

"You dumbass! Come on!" She yelled as she began pulling me away from the fight.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? We have to take cover or we're gonna get killed!" Jorge said sternly

"I have to help!" I screamed.

"You can't help them! There's to many of them" Jorge stated as he pointed at the group of Wicked soldiers.

"No-" I began.

"If we don't move now, we won't be much better off" Jorge said as his voice calmed down.

"You guys gotta go right now." I said to the two, pushing them ahead of me.

"What?" Brenda asked, worry laced her voice.

"They're not looking for you guys, go!" I ushered them.

By now, Wicked had almost everyone on the ground, all of them looking burnt out... All Wicked wanted now was me.

"Y/N..." Brenda said to me.

"I can't leave without them... I'm sorry" I replied.

"Go" I looked at Jorge, what did he just say?

"Go" He repeated to me. I followed his orders, walking off towards my friends.

"Line them up on their knees!" I heard Janson's voice boom over a megaphone of some sort. 

I walked closer, but far enough where they still couldn't see me. Was I really going to suffer again at Wicked? Yes. Because if my friends were going, so would I.

"Where's Y/N?" Janson asked the rest of the people.

"Right here" I replied from behind, walking closer to the man.

All eyes turned to me. I saw Newt's eyes widen, his mouth fell open slightly, but he didn't say anything. Minho's eyes saddened at the sight of me. 

I walked closer to Janson, standing infront of him. My heart thumped so hard I thought it was going to jump out of my chest. He hit me. Punched me right in the stomach, making me collapse onto the floor.

I let out a loud groan as people around me gasped loudly.

"Don't you dare touch her again!" Newt yelled at Janson. The man only laughed, watching as I lay crumpled up onto the floor.

"Get her in line" Janson ordered the guards. They did as they told as they grabbed me and dropped me onto the floor beside Thomas and Newt. 

Out of my peripherals, I saw Minho turn to look at me, his face questioning everything I had done.

"Why didn't you run?" He asked me as his eyes began to water. The Berg's mouth started to open, revealing a woman in a white coat. Ava.

"I'm too tired to run" I said with a sigh. 

I could also see Newt from the corner of my eye. His body slouched a little at my words, making me want to crumble too.

The woman stood out from the Berg.

"Is this all of them?" She questioned.

"Most of them, it'll be enough" Janson replied with a smile. God I wanted to punch his puny face.

"Hey Minho" I whispered to the boy. 

He perked up staring at me. "Yeah?"

"Let's say if we make it out of this hell hole, we beat up rat-man"

"Well of course M'lady" He responded with a smirk. I smiled back.

"Start loading them in" Ava said to the guards.

Everyone stayed put on the hard dirt ground, all of us looking like we had given up. Ava walked around all of us, looking each of us in the eye, but stopping at me.

"Hello, Y/N" she said, giving me a smile before walking off back to the Berg.

Teresa had now shown herself to the rest of the Gladers and Wicked. She walked over into the Berg, stepping infront of Ava.

"I'm glad you're safe" Ava said to the brunette as she gave her a hug.

"Teresa?" Someone in the mist of the group asked.

"What the hell?" Minho asked as he faced me. Tears brimmed my eyes.

"She's with them" I frowned. No matter how much I hated Teresa right now, I knew this was her choice. I loved her as a sister, but I hated her for what she did.

"Since when?" Newt now questioned.

"Teresa's always had an appreciation for the greater good" Janson said with a large smirk on his rat looking face. "Once we restored her memories, it was only a matter of time"

"I'm sorry" Teresa said as she faced us. Her eyes began spurring out tears. "I'm sorry, I have no choice. This is the only way!" She defended herself.

"Teresa's right. You need to understand that, Y/N" Ava's voice spoke.

"Understand what? That Wicked is good? That you would rather kill a whole generation than to  find alternate solutions? What don't I understand? You're a monster Ava." I said to her as I began standing up. 

"I am not a monster, I'm a Doctor. I swore an oath to find a cure! No matter the cause" She said as she rose her voice. "I just need more time"

"More blood." A womans voice spoke up. 

"Hello, Mary. I hoped we'd meet again" Ava said, giving Mary a smile. "I'm sorry it had to be under these circumstances"

"I'm sorry about a lot of things too... but not this" Mary replied.

"Atleast my conscious is clear" Ava stated.

"So is mine"

A bullet rang through the canyon, making my heart stop. Mary's body collapsed onto the floor, blood pouring out of her stomach. 

"Mary? Mary? Mary!" Vince screamed as he tried to shake the woman awake. 

My heart shattered, I hadn't known Mary for quite awhile, but she almost felt as a mother figure to me. Janson stood beside Ava, a large smirk still on his face as he continued to hold the gun in the air.

"Load them up" Ava said simply. 

She watched as one by one all of us filing in. Aris and Sonya being the first. Thomas rippled out of a guards grasp, falling to the floor and quickly running towards the center of everyone, holding up a bomb of sorts.

"Stand back!" Thomas shouted.

"Hold your fire!" Someone else yelled towards the group.

"Let them go!" Thomas yelled out to Wicked.

"You know I can't do that!" Ava argued.

"Thomas! Please! Please stop! They promised we'd all be safe!" Teresa yelled out.

"And I'm supposed to trust you now?" Thomas snarled at the girl.

"It's true! It was her only condition!" Ava stated.

"Shut up!" I warned Janson as I too also got out of my guards grasp, walking over to stand beside Thomas.

"Everything could go back to the way it was" Janson tried to convince.

"Thomas..." Teresa began.

"Do you really want them all to die?" Janson interrupted. "Think about what you're doing"

I looked up to Thomas as he looked down to me. I simply nodded.

"We're all with you Thomas" I said to the boy.

"No. Don't." Ava pleaded slightly.

"Do it, we're not going back there" I said to Thomas.

A car whizzed past us as it began speeding. By now, all of us Gladers had gotten out of Wicked grasp, full on sprinting for our lives. Brenda and Jorge came back for us!

We all ran, going anywhere we could to hide. The dark helping us blend in. Shots were heard from behind me as I still continued running.

"Ah!" I yelped as I fell to the floor. I heard a groan a bit back from behind me, but I was quickly grabbed my strong arms. 

The jolt of electricity flew throughout my body, making me motionless. 

"Minho!" I heard the person that grabbed me yell. It took a few moments for my body to go back to normal, but as soon as it did, I noticed Minho wasn't with us... He was in Wickeds grasp...

A/N : hey! I have a test i should be studying for, but im actually so tired. anywho i love you all and i hope you enjoyed :)
