A Hero♦ A Maze Runner Story♦

Before Forgetting I Remebered

A video created a week before she was sent into the maze to preserve her memories.
"I was dragged from my home out into the street by my neighbors, people I thought I knew. I screamed for help but no one came. I looked around hoping to find a friendly face in the crowd and I found out why.
My parents were tied to posts in the middle of the square hanging limply from the ropes that binded them, covered in blood. I escaped the holds of the people around me and ran towards them sinking to my knees by their feet. My mom smiled weakly and tryed to lift her hand to touch my face but couldn't get it there so it hovered inches away. I grabbed it in both of mine and cried. She shed a single tear before her eyes closed and her hand went limp in mine. I screamed until I could not make a sound and kept on screaming after that, as if that would bring them back, as if this was just a dream and screaming could wake me up. But I think that I might have known, that they were gone. It could have been minutes or hours before I finally accepted that. A rage, a hopelessness filled me that day, so powerful that sometimes still feel it pumping through my veins. I stood and waited for what I don't know, but no one moved, nothing happened.

I was sent from family member to family member, an orphan and I ended up at my aunt and uncle's. I had a cousin there, his name was Newt well not really but he was really smart so that was my nickname for him. They took me in even though nobody else had they, were different. They helped me to heal. My older brother and my twin showed up one day. I never depended on them like I had before, but that didn't change the fact that we were family, I still loved them both. W.I.C.K.E.D ripped my brothers, Newt and I away from them and afterwards my twin was the first one they took. Then they took my older brother. All I have left now is Newt".

Later that day

Thomas's POV
"No" she screamed struggling wildly trying to escape her captors "no you can't take him, you can't" her voice was failing her getting quieter each word she spoke, "no" she said again. They continued to haul her away there was nothing she could do. She managed to whisper "I love you" to Newt one last time before they made him forget her and all of his memories. I'm wasn't sure that he'd heard until I looked closer at him he looked broken. When I saw her next she had that look in her eyes, she seemed hopeless, broken, no shattered. She had lost everything and you could see the pain it caused her. Over and over again she would say "I will never forget you, never" as if it would be true if she said it enough times. They will see each other again. But it won't be the same, they won't remember.
