THEA RAN LIKE SHE NEVER DID BEFORE. She completely blurred out her surroundings as her legs moved by themselves. They ached so much but she payed no attention to them. She just continued to run. The thought of getting there in the right time was the only thought in her hand at this point.
Her hand was aching as much as her legs but she ignored it. All she could think of was saving the boy she loved. She thought about how she would never see his smile again or hear his laugh. She would never get to cuddle him again. Thea was blinded by everything as she recklessly ran through the battlefield without a care in the world.
She saw the lights of the aircraft in the distance. She picked up her pace and ran as fast as ever. Gally and Minho yelled for her but she didn't listen. Thea ran right into the crowd of shooting people. Bullets flew past her left and right, almost hitting her in the process. The aircrafts' platform opened up revealing two figures coming out of it.
A big explosion erupted besides Thea almost knocking her off of her feet but she kept running. Her feet carried her the rest of the way until she could recognize one of the figures, Brenda. Besides her stood Jorge and behind them was Frypan. Their outlines were lightened up by the fire and explosions. They spotted Thea how she came towards them in the distance.
She somehow outran Minho and Gally who got stuck in the battlefield through which she ran without a care. Thea could hear Teresa's voice in the distanc, how she spoke through the income. "Thomas? Can you hear me?" I need you to listen to me.-"
Thea was knocked into consciousness by Teresa's voice as she listened closely. "-You have no reason to trust me, but I need you to come back. Thomas, you can save Newt.-" At the mention of the possibility of saving Newt Thea's heart started to ache again. "-There is still time for him. There is a reason Brenda isn't sick anymore. It's your blood. Do you understand? She isn't sick anymore because... because you cured her. She doesn't have to be the only one. All you have to do it come back and all of this will finally be over. Please, just come back to me. I know you-"
Teresa's speech got interrupted by the power system failing. Thea got stuck in her bubble again as she arrived at Brenda and Jorge. "Brenda!" she yelled out alerting the girl. Brenda came towards her with worry on her face. "The serum? Where is it?" hollered Thea with a distressed voice. Brenda started to run into the direction from which they came.
Thea immediately followed the girl as she made her way back. She knew that the time was slowly ticking for them, every second matter now. It was for Newt. All of it. For him. She ran through the battlefield again. A big explosion knocked her off of her feet as she flew back against the concrete. Brenda kept moving forwards into the direction of where they came from. Frypan came to Thea's rescue as he helped her up.
She sprinted behind Brenda again, not caring for anything. Her feet stung horribly as she moved fowards. Brenda and Thea ran besides each other both had worry displayed on their faces. Explosion after explosion erupted beside them as they continued to run. The air was knocked out of Thea's lungs at this point.
Brenda clung onto the serum like it was her only hope. She knew how important it was. The girls came closer to their destination until they arrived at the passageway to see it empty. Thea's eyes widened as she looked around trying to find a spot where they could be. Her eyes stopped on a building which was mostly okay as she sprinted towards it with Brenda following her hot on her heels. She saw how it came closer and closer until she finally found an entrance and entered the building.
Thea's heart stopped. The sight made her heart stop. Her world stopped. Thomas kneeled above Newt who had a knife in his chest. Thea ran towards him and dropped to the floor. Tears fell from her eyes like waterfalls as her eyes became glassy. Her heart broke into many pieces as she felt pain in her chest. A shaky sob escaped her lips as she looked at Newt.
"Newt?" she sobbed as she shook him, trying to get a sign of life from him. He didn't move. His eyes were black and glassy with tears streaming out of them. The veins were as visible as ever. Blue liquid trailed down from his lips as a gust of wind blew his hair out of his face. Another strangled sob escaped Thea's lips.
"Newt!" she shook him again. He still did not move. She sobbed and sobbed with tears blurring her vision. Thea wrapped her arms around Newt as she hugged him tightly not wanting to let him go. "Come back to me. Come back to me." she muttered as she cried. She didn't want to see the truth, she just didn't. "Please."
Thomas stood up from his position on the floor and grabbed Thea's arm as he separated her from Newt. He helped her up and hugged her tightly as her tears fell down her cheeks. She struggled in his grip as she tried to escape it. "Let me go." she mumbled with her voice breaking at every word.
But Thomas didn't let her go, he knew he couldn't. He had to for his friend, he had to hold her. Tears burned in her eyes as she still struggled. He tried to calm her down, he had too. Guilt spread in his body, he should have kept him occupied for a longer time. He should have.
"I'm sorry." he mumbled to the broken girl in his arms. An ear piercing scream escaped her throat as she glanced at Newt again. It was strained and full of pain. Her emotions poured out like a waterfall. Her memories came flooding back to her. It came back like a waterfall. All of the emotions she had felt all these years poured out.
She saw how she and Newt met and what she felt. What had happened. Why she had been at WICKED, how she got there, who she lost. Everything came pouring in. Everything. In that moment Thea broke. It broke her. She saw her mother, she saw her father, she saw him. How happy they've been. How happy she had been.
She tried to breath, her cries knocked the air out of her lungs. It was impossible for her to calm down. She had no tears left to cry. They were all gone. A strangled sob escaped her lips again as she wiped her tears on her sleeve.
"Come on, I need your help, Thea.I can't go there alone. Please." spoke Thomas as he grabbed her arm lightly and dragged her with him. The two of them made their way to the big WICKED building. On the way there Thea continued to breath heavily, her eyes were burning by now and bloodshot. As they arrived they sneaked upon Ava Paige.
Thomas pointed his gun at the woman with the strawberry blond hair. Her face was sad and her brown eyes held no emotions. She knew it was the end, she saw it outside.
"Is it true? Newt, could I have saved him?" asked Thomas with a shaky voice. He was devastated. He was sad, he felt broken. The gun in his hand shook visibly with every breath he took.
"You can save us all." explained Ava Paige with a calm voice. It didn't sound sad but not happy either. Realisation hit her like a waterfall. The commotion outside was blurred out of Thea's way of vision as remaining tears blurred it. Thomas dropped the gun to the ground as a strangled sob escaped his throat, it hurts like hell.
Ava Paige stepped closer to the broken children, "It's okay." she whispered. She saw how broken the two of them had become and she knew who they were before all of it. Thomas mumbled something Thea couldn't understand, she didn't even listen closely as she focused on the floor, trying to lock away an incoming sob.
"I promise. I-" spoke Ava Paige but she got interrupted by a gun shot ripping through the air. Her mouth opened as her brown eyes widened. She took a quick breath as blood spread on her perfect white short. The woman dropped to the ground and nothing could stop it.
There stood Janson with his gun pointed at Thea and Thomas. A smirk was placed on his face as he stepped closer. He pushed a dart into Thea's neck and then into Thomas' neck. They both pulled it out and looked at it as their vision became blurred. Her knees went weak as she dropped to the floor like a sack. Voices filled her head as she slowly faded out of consciousness.
Her head throbbed terribly as thoughts filled her head. A tear rolled down her cheeks as she heard Janson say something inaudible for her. Darkness filled her vision as it slowly replaced the world she had seen. Thoughts left her head as she couldn't concentrate anymore. The last thing she heard in her head was, I'm sorry.
