The flashes are back, which confused me more only concluding I'm not dead, this time I see fire surrounded the city that once stood and myself escaping and driving of to a boat where in which I can make my way to the safe haven following marks on a map, and running over cranks on a journey to get back to everybody.
A sudden bang, the building beyond in the distance coming crashing down, nobody is anywhere to be seen my bag pack is still tightly on my shoulders as I glance around to only see the building above me falling and Teresa's dead body splattered on the gravelled floor, parts of my skin burnt from flickers of fire as I clutch my stomach panicking and digging my fingers inside to pull the bullet out before stuffing the hole with bandages from my bag and warp along myself up in a quick amount of time.
All I can do to really survive now is run, they all left they thought I died, hell I even thought I died but I am a survivor I tell myself, my maze running legs in tact as I sprint away from the city taking the strong and smelly underground sewers the fairy lightbulbs on the sides flickering as I make my way out of the city watching it tumble from my view. In panic, I look around only to see Bertha with the key inside right where I need her and I jump in bringing up the built shades to block any falling or flying objects while pressing hard on the gas and cruising away from the city watching as it tumbled and cackles to the ground buildings lost and my friend nowhere to be seen as I take a stop at the edge of the hill looking over and taking out my map.
Tactical is the only way now, being alone in the world full of cranks the only human left here in sight it scares me despite my immunity. Taking off back in the car panting at my still injured state I use the marks on map to guide me until I am met with the crank filled tunnel once again. Knowing I have to drive through to get to the other side I pull up the window protectors and go in full speed jumping on a ramp and splattering the loud groaning cackling cranks inside the little lights inside showing me the hungry flare victims all groaning and chasing the car as run more over keeping control of surrounding and after the whole becoming familiar with the other side happy I made it.
The journey is long, a small amount of water to last me and a protein bar left in my backpack as I make myself to the ocean view a petrol fired speedboat sitting in the water as I take my chance, removing the remaining petrol from Bertha and other trucks and cars left behind I manage to fill the tank full, and also a few containers for emergency before wrapping up setting off in the wind.
"WOOHOO! I am aliveeeee! Suck on that universe!" I shout over the engine zooming fast on the water keeping my feet up high despite my fear of what lurks beneath the surface of the water.
1 day has passed and I have officially got this far, the feeling makes me proud that I am holding on so well while I cruise in the ocean heading by my estimated dotted permanent pen on the map from my bag towards the island all my friend should be.... and Minho.
"I can't believe it! I am doing it Minho! I'm coming!" I shout out as kid as I can to the sky as the sunset is present.
Then I see it, everyone hundreds have red around all together and who I can only imagine Vincent standing up with smug in his hand to the air talking to everybody and I go off to the side so nobody notices me just yet jumping of the long lived speedboat turning of the engine with a hard pull of a string and wincing at the strong arm movement, then I walk down the beach slowly to see people smiling as Vincent lifts the mug high into the air.
"WELCOME TO THE SAFE HAVEN!" Vincent shouts and the cheers become wild as I begin running everybody becoming a silence and glaring at me like they see a ghost, Minho running up to me quickly and standing not only 2 feet away.
"Y/N? You're alive" Minho questions looking at me pale faced only receiving a smirk back as Gally,Frypan,Vincent,Jorge,Brenda,Thomas, Aris, Sonya and Harriet all from a crowd behind us shocked.
"Well I mean I'm not a ghost am I?" I mock the line I had previously said back in the maze a long time ago poking my face with a giggle before running into Minho's arms and holding him tight burrowing my head into his neck despite the pain of my shot wound.
Looking back at Minho, are eyes meet once again as his body presses against mine and I lean forward him doing the same until our lips finally meet, him agreeing and kissing me back passionately before we pull apart and I look at everybody else.
"Missed me?" I ask and everyone walks over towards me and Minho.
"Your one special kid you know that" Vincent says scruffing my hair slightly earning a chuckle from me.
"I've always been special, I just can't believe it's taken this long for you to see that Vincent" I joke nudging his side.
"Group hug? Be careful on the wound though" I warn with a raised eyebrow and we all walk in for a hug, everyone smiling happily.
And from that moment on we have been safe and free living in the Safe Haven, living life as we should nothing feeling any better all of our loved ones carved into the stone as a remembrance.
In the end, you don't realise what made you truly happy until it becomes a memory.
