Newt
"Christ." I whispered before running down to the main camp that was now mostly set alight. I had to find her. I had to make sure she was ok, I had to see her.
I shouted her name over and over as I pushed passed people to get to the medical tent. The panic was consuming. It made me feel dizzy and I had to force my feet one infront of the other but it was proving more difficult with every step that I took.
Again I screamed her name as I walked around what remained of the tent.
As I pulled slightly at my hair I heard a sudden gasping and coughing.
I ran to the opposite side of the tent to where I was stood and immediately saw Thomas leaning over Faith.
I ran over to them and smiled with tears in my eyes as I saw those big eyes staring up at me.

"What happened?" I yelled looking at Thomas.
"It's Teresa. She's with wicked. She led them here." He explained and my heart fell into my stomach.
"I'll kill her." Faith coughed, sitting up quickly.
"No you won't."
"I could kill her." She said and grabbed out for my arm, pulling herself up.
As she stumbled forward I took hold of her upper arms.
"Don't act irrationally." I said and walked backwards as she continued on, Thomas quickly following.
"I wouldn't say it's irrational to kill the girl who sold us out." She scoffed.
I pushed back against her and she finally stopped walking.
"Don't get hurt. Please. I need you."
She sighed and placed a hand on the side of my neck, running her thumb back and forward over my jaw.
"It'll be ok. Stay close." She said and I nodded before she kissed me quickly, and I just wished the feeling of her so close had lasted longer.

The three of us ran to find the others and we watched on as kids were being rounded up. My heart caught in my throat as I caught sight of Janson. Immediately I turned and saw that Faith had seen him as well.
"You still have that other gun?" She said looking at neither of us.
I looked at Thomas who looked equally as angry and concerned.
"I-I gave it to Winston." I whispered and she immediately shook her head.
"You have another i've seen it."
"Faith come on. Let's just think a second. We have to go in with a plan." Thomas said and she grinned.

Before I knew it, she had reached around my back, shoved her hand into my opposite side jacket pocket and pulled out the small black gun I had been hiding.
"I have a plan."
She began walking away from us, gun pointed straight for Janson.
"Is it wrong to be extremely attracted to her right now?" Thomas whispered.
"That's my girlfriend you're talking about. But no, because so am I." I sighed before both of us walked quickly to walk behind her again, but before we got to her she was already face to face with the devil himself.

Faith
It was a family reunion that i had never wanted to happen.
The look on his face made me want to throw up. I had Newt's gun pointed straight at his head and didn't stop walking forward until the barrel almost touched his skin.
"Don't shoot!" Janson said and I grinned.
"Aw, still some compassion in there for your daughter?" I pouted before rolling my eyes.
"You can't fight this forever." He said holding his hands up.
"I know why you sent me into the maze. I gave the Right Arm all they needed to know in order to destroy wicked. I've always, and will always, fight this." I said and cocked the gun.

Just as I placed a finger on the trigger a hand was placed on the wrist of my hand that held the gun.
"Don't stoop down to his level. We'll kill him I promise, but don't you be the one to do it."
"And the boyfriend comes to save the day. How perfect. I always thought you and Thomas were better suited. This one's a bit weedy, he can't protect you like Thom-"
The gun went off and my eyes widened as a bullet came to rest in Janson's shoulder.
But it wasn't my finger that pulled the trigger.
I turned my head quickly and Newt had a murderous gaze in his eyes.
"I can protect her just fine." He said and my heart fluttered in my chest as i resisted the urge to grab him and kiss him there and then.
"Fucking kid just shot me! Get them rounded up i've had enough!" Janson yelled and I felt Newt push me behind him as a large man in black came towards us.

"Ok stop! I'll do it!"
We all turned and I gasped as I saw the makeshift bomb that Jorge had given me to throw a few hours prior.
His hand was shaking as his thumb hovered over the button that would end it all.
I clung to Newt's shoulders and I could feel him taking deep breaths  in and out.

This is what I was afraid of all along. The moment we were happy, the moment we had each other, the moment i allowed myself to start letting him in so we could be together, it would all be ripped away so quickly.
But this wasn't our fault. It was the situation we had been born in to. We weren't made to have the chance to love, we weren't here to love, and yet we had found love. And whilst my heart had been filled with the love for the blonde boy that had protected me, this was how it had to end. It was our fate, tragic, yet heroic. At least we would die to be free, we would die to be allowed to love.

I closed my eyes and sighed, giving Newt's shoulders a squeeze before walking slowly over to Thomas.
"I'm with you. Do it." I said and I felt the tears sting the back of my throat.
"Faith, this ends it all."
"I know. Do it." I whispered.
"I'm with you as well Tommy." Newt said and his hand slipped into mine.
As Fry and Minho joined us I knew it was done. This was the end.

I had embraced it in that moment. I felt Newts forehead on the back of my head and his hand squeezed mine tightly. Feeling the warmth of his  breath in my hair brought me a strange sense of still.
It would be ok.
We would see each other again.
In another time, another life, we would find each other again.
