His heart beating heavely. He stared at his surroundings. Nothing but emptiness. All he could see was sand. " Where am i?" He asked. Thomas looked around for clues, but there was nothing but filth and confusion."Thomas!" He heard his name."Thomas!" Again. Thomas fell to his knees, his hands buried in his face. Tears forming in his eyes. "I'm here." He said. A woman figure shaped appeared. Walking to Thomas. A smiled played on Thomas's lips, knowing he wasn't alone. Thomas stood up. He whipped his tears away. The woman walked past Thomas to a small child behind him. She leaned down, hugging the child. "Thomas. don't worry i will be waiting." Why was the woman calling the child Thomas? Was that small child Thomas?

Before his question could be answered. He woke up. "Thomas wake up we have to leave, remember?" Avery said. Thomas eyes open quick. He rubbed his eyes. He got up putting his shoes on walking out without saying a word to Avery. Avery stood up. Avery walked out of the tent. Children ran past her. Avery kept her eyes on Thomas. He walked over to the limited water they had. Thomas knew to use it wisely, but he was drenched in sweat so he needed it. He looked up at the sun. His body stiffened. He tore his gaze away from the sky. He sat down hugging himself in his knees. Avery walked over to him. She put her hand on his shoulder. He looked up. Avery sat down on one leg. He stared into her sweet violet eyes. She stared into his chestnut brown eyes. She sighed. "I want to ask why, but i know you won't answer. So lets just leave it." Thomas smiled. He knew how well Avery know's Thomas. He stood up. He pulled Avery up. He swinged his arm around Avery's shoulder and stared into the distance. "We need munies..." She laughed "Ya we do." She replied. Thomas smiled. "Lets go find some..."

They left early that morning. It was hot out. Thomas felt like the sun is trying to spread the flare. Avery just walked her head was on her destination and the whole point of coming here. To make sure Thomas corrects his mistakes! Thomas pulled on his blue t-shirt. He felt slightly dizzy. Everything started spinning. Thomas started tripping over his feet. Avery noticed. She grabbed him by the shoulder's, making sure if he falls, he doesn't fall face first. She took Thomas's arm and draped it over her shoulder. She walked over to place with shade. She put Thomas in a upright position. His back against the wall. Thomas's breathing was heavy. A moment later Thomas started screaming. He stood up, holding his head. "No, no,no" He said shaking his head. Avery ran over to Thomas. " Thomas..." She said shaking him. "Leave me. I'm not Alby. I didn't kill him. I was put into this position. I had nothing to do with this. I was taken away. was i not?" He said. Avery stepped back. Was he telling the truth? Was he forcefully taken and forced to do this? If he was, why was he working for W.I.C.K.E.D?

Avery started walking back. She was confused. What's going to happen next? She thought. She rubbed her temples, took a deep breath. And fell to the floor. Tears flooding her, eyes. She clenched her fist. The tears she tried to hold back, were now travelling down her cheek. His not innocent. She thought. His at fault. She wants to believe him, but believing him was not so easy. She watched Thomas grow up. He didn't even know Avery was with him in his childhood. He didn't know she watched him work for W.I.C.K.E.D. She was watching kill each person one by one. People who were innocent. They didn't deserve death. If they did, Avery didn't mind. She stood up.

Thomas was now lying on the floor, screaming. "I didn't cause this. I promise..." Avery was now raged. She walked over to Thomas picked him up. Held him by the shoulders. "You are. Its all your fault. I want you dead Thomas... But this flare needs to disappear into thin air. For some reason these people thinks a killer can do it. Your the killer Thomas. You deserve death. I want you dead." Avery said. Thomas stood still. He stopped screaming, but he seemed dazed. Thomas looked at Avery. "You want me dead?" He said it more like a question. "Yes. You should've died in the maze. You should've died in the scorch. You should've died before you killed all these people." Thomas tears were running down his cheek. His eyes were red. His eyes were full of guilt. His arms were shaking like he saw the scorch killing legs were drooping down to the floor. Avery felt good. He made him feel like his the death of the people.

" You hear me? I want you, Thomas. Dead." She said it clearly so he could here. "And i want my parents. I want to save these people. I want to save humanity. So you want me dead? I might of killed many people, but i killed these people only to save humanity." Avery didn't know what to say. "Okay. Thomas. Go freaken save humanity for all i care. but i want you dead. Dreaming is good. Maybe you will realise your mistake." Avery tried to say. "Its not a dream. I want and i will save these people, this humanity. Avery if you think i will just stand here, and kill more people... then your certainly wrong. In every way in every step. It will be another way to save, no. Another feeling to make sure you and humanity are safe..." Avery was mad. Thomas was not mad but he was certainly not letting her think his giving up or even dreaming. He wanted to make it loud and clear, so Avery could see his view. Avery was like Thomas in so many ways, but everyone could notice they were both stubborn.

People were clever enough to know Thomas was the only one who cared. Avery did to, but she needed help. Thomas needed to pay. So Avery picked him.
