Thomas thought it was stupid that he had chosen her, without knowing what it was all about. But he's been asked and he had told the truth.

Or at least what he thought was the truth.

As soon as he said that one word Minho looked at him, followed by Newt.

"Man, I knew you were going to say the shuck traitor's name" Minho said.

"What's all this bloody about?" Newt asked, obviously not expecting someone to answer him.


*******************************

Brenda's face lighted up and she smiled.

Teresa looked down. She had held her head up through all, but now she put her head down. She had lost it. The only thing she had ever wanted was to Thomas to understand.

She had already told him that it was an act. But he won't believe her.

Every time she had beaten him up, she had felt it as well. Not in her body as a physical pain, but in her heart.

She had lost against Brenda. And Thomas didn't even know who she was.

Teresa knew. She knew who the girl standing next to her was.

The choice. When they asked her for the first time if she would do it, she had said yes. It was obvious she would do it herself, rather than have it done to Brenda.


"The cure is inside the brain cells, would you donate some of yours to save humanity? We're not saying we need all  of your brain. And obviously you'll live afterwards. It's just an operation. We'll remove half of your brain cells, and you'll  be in a coma for a few weeks until the brain cells replace themselves again. But you'll live"


Teresa had been confused when WICKED first asked her this. She hesitated. She had already given away too much.

She had lost Thomas.


"It's either you or Brenda. We sent her in the Scorch because that was her trial. She survived, and made it back at WICKED. You and her are the final candidates."

She knew Thomas hated her, so it was obvious that he had chosen her name. But he didn't know what they were going to do to her now. She knew what he had just done to her. She waited for the pain to hit her.

She loved him still.

*************************************

Thomas heard the bullet before seeing Teresa fall. Red blood everywhere.

The bullet hit her in the stomach. She made no noise.

Teresa was gone.
