TOGETHER

SCARLETT WALKED RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF NEWT AND THOMAS, HER HEAD HELD HIGH IN THE AIR, AND HER EYES GLANCING DOWN AT THE GROUND A FEW TIMES. She hoped that people wouldn't notice them, hoped that they would blend in and not draw attention to themselves. Newt, Thomas, and Scarlett kept sharing glances at each other. She could feel the nerves beginning to kick in, her breathing hitching up. The girl walked side by side with the boys, trying to focus on what they were about to do next.

The three teenagers hid behind a corner, Thomas peering his head out. Scarlett breathed out nervously, her palms were sweaty. The only thing that could help her keep herself calm was thinking about Minho. Her best friend. The guy besides Newt who actually made friends with her when she first arrived to the Glade. That one particular boy who made her so nervous she felt like such a girly girl with a crush, like nothing else mattered. The time when Minho would stay in the shower area with her and watch out for the other boys so they wouldn't come in. That Minho. Her best friend. Minho.

As Thomas and Newt kept walking, Scarlett could feel someone staring at her. The strawberry blonde turned her head, her eyes meeting the blonde women. Ava Paige. A gasp got caught in her throat, and she could feel a lump forming. "Oh, my god..." she whispered. Ava looked at the beautiful strawberry blonde and was stunned by her presence. Ava didn't know when she'd ever see her presence again.

Scarlett has always been like a daughter to her even if it wasn't blood related.

Ava missed her face, her long hair, braiding it every night before the girl went to bed. When Scarlett first came to WCKD, Ava remembers her smile whenever she'd tell her that they were having pizza for dinner, and ice cream later for dessert.

Ava remembers girly advice she'd give her, mostly about Thomas. Ava remembers a sweet innocent girl, but now, now she was different.

Her long hair was damp from wearing a mask, her eyes were dark and sad. She had a WCKD guard suit on and a gun in her hand. This was not her. This was not the Scarlett Andrews who she used to know. This Scarlett has lost many people, many things, her family and friends.

The two stared at each other as the alarm still went off, the annoying blaring going through the girls ears. Thomas realized that Scarlett wasn't following him, so he turned around and stood beside her, his gaze following to what she was looking at.

Ava wanted to badly to run to the couple and hug them. Unlike Janson she actually cared about them. She loved them like her own kids.

She still does. Newt stepped forward, just about to the point where Thomas pulled out his gun, the tip of it aiming at Ava Paige.

"Thomas..." Scarlett whispered, her voice soft.

Newt turned his head and looked left, noticing Janson.

"Tommy, NO!" Newt grabbed Thomas and pushed him away, Scarlett running with them.

It was time for a fight.

Newt, Thomas and Scarlett had their guns ready, people began screaming as they rounded a corner. "Minho!" Thomas shouted. "Minho!" Scarlett yelled out loud as she could. "Minho!"
