I'm back in the glade. No one is there, nothing is burnt or destroyed. It looks so peaceful, just like it had been before all hell broke loose.

"Hello?"

I looked around for someone. Suddenly, the hair on the back of my neck rose, and I whipped around to face Ben.

"Why didn't you save me?" he asked. His normal complexion melted away, and all that was left was his bloody body, just like how it was when I last saw him.

"You promised me!"

I turned around to see Alby, who had a furious look on his face.

"You promised not to get them hurt! Now half the Gladers are dead, because of you! It's your damn fault!"

I stepped back as the two bloody figures took a menacing step towards me.

"Zia," another voice called out from behind.

I looked to see two people, and recognized Clint and Robbie. They were both covered in blood, Clint with the gaping wound that spilt blood.

"Are you going to break our promise too? Are you going to kill Vera too?"

I shook my head, backing up against the maze door that was closed.

"It hurts, Zi. It hurts so much. I told you to take care of the shank," Chuck appeared, a bullet still buried in his heart. I bit back a sob. "You're my sister, and you can't even do that?"

"No, no, no. Tommy's safe. Vera's alright," I whimpered.

"Teresa's gone. Tommy's in despair. You killed her too. You killed us all," Rachel appeared. Her wounds were just like Chuck's.

"You don't deserve to live. You killed us all, and now you're happy? You dare smile?!" Gally screamed.

I wanted to scream too.

"You know that's not true," I defended myself.

"YOU KILLED US ALL, YOU CREATED THIS MAZE! IT'S YOUR FAULT!" Ben screamed.

I felt pain burst through my chest and saw Jeff holding a spear that was buried in me. I felt my consciousness spiral out, and heard Robbie have the final say.

"Die. You don't deserve to live."
