Lizzie tried her best not to worry about her boyfriend and Gally as she watched them run across the street. "Okay, they're through." Thomas noticed and Lizzie stood up, looking through the fence to look at their surroundings. She frowned because it seemed like there wasn't any other place they could go that wouldn't get them caught in the battle.

She kneels again, glancing at Thomas with a grimaced expression. She sighs. "We're gonna have to go out there, aren't we?"

After he stood to look around, he kneels and faces her and grimaces. "I'm afraid there's no other choice."

Newt began to breath heavily again and gag lightly. Lizzie looked at him worriedly, seeing that he was staring out at the direction of the fire, acting as if he was zoning out. Thomas got to Newt before she could and Thomas shook Newt out of his daze, bringing the blonde boy back to them. Lizzie hated how Newt looked like he had no clue what was happening.

"We're gonna try this." Thomas speaks softly. "We gotta move, now. Let's get you up, come on." Lizzie tried to take one of Newt's arms while Thomas took the other, but it was difficult since Newt was fighting them.

"No!" Newt protested.

"Newt, come on." Lizzie speaks in a soft but urgent voice, ignoring the tears threatening to leave her eyes. She hated seeing someone she cared about being in pain. "We can help you, but we gotta go."

"No," Newt shakes his head. "You guys, stop!" He grabbed at the necklace he wore, tugging as hard as he could to get it off.

"No, Newt." Thomas shakes his head, trying to get Newt to move with him and Lizzie. "Later. Later. Come on."

Newt finally gets the necklace off and holding it out to Thomas. "Look, you gotta take this."

"We gotta get you up, now." Thomas voiced.

"No, just take it!" Newt screamed and that's what made Lizzie stop helping him get up on his feet. Since she had been kneeling, she sat on the ground and she was frozen in shock. Newt never raised his voice. This was the first time she saw Newt yell at someone. Thomas looked at Newt with shock, not expecting him to yell. Newt panted, his eyes widening as if he hadn't known he'd screamed, but when Thomas grabbed the necklace, he didn't apologize.

Newt's gaze softens and so does his voice as he looks at Thomas with a pleading expression. "Please. Please, Tommy. Please."

"Okay." Thomas nodded. It was clear he didn't know what else to say and Lizzie didn't blame him because she didn't know what to say either.  

Newt reaches to his right where Lizzie sat and grabs her arm to get her attention. She quickly wipes away the tear that had fell down her cheek and wipes the tears from her eyes. She looks at him with a sad smile. He returns the sad smile, weakly reaching into his pocket of his jacket to hand her something. Lizzie takes ahold of what he hands her, glancing down at her hand to find a beaded bracelet. The beads were different shades of purple and the bracelet was hooked together with a silver capsule that had a screw-on cap.

How on earth did he ever find something like this? Lizzie had no clue, but the fact that he wanted to give her something warmed her heart and brought tears to her eyes. This time it was a mixture of happy and sad tears.

"Newt, you...You didn't have to get me this." Lizzie stammered out a reply, looking at the blonde with surprise.

"I...I wanted you to have something to remember me." Newt admitted.

"I would never forget you." Lizzie reassures him, causing Newt to smile weakly at her. "But thank you, Newt." She smiles softly, glancing at the bracelet. "This is so sweet."

"Okay, this is a really sweet moment, but we gotta go." Thomas spoke in an urgent tone. 

"Yeah, okay." Lizzie nodded. 

Luckily she didn't have to unscrew the cap to put on the bracelet so she could easily just put it on. After she put it on her left wrist, she helped Thomas get Newt up. It was a struggle to get to where they needed to be, but they eventually managed to do that. Lizzie and Thomas help Newt across the street that was somewhat filled with debris from buildings that had been destroyed. There was a fire off to their right and quite a bit of smoke in the air, a group of people ran down the street towards the direction Lizzie heard gunshots and yelling. Lizzie grimaced and winced slightly when she heard another explosion in the distant. She side glanced at Newt with a worried expression on her face. She knew there wasn't much time left to save him so she only hoped that they all could make it on time to save him.

Newt was fully limp now, causing Lizzie and Thomas to basically carry him. Lizzie was the first one to go through the broken glass door of the nearest building, one arm wrapped around Newt's waist and with her other she was holding onto his arm that was around her shoulder. Thomas was in the same position with his right arm around Newt's waist and Newt's other arm around his shoulder. 

"Almost there." Thomas reassures Newt when he started not acting like himself again by fighting him and Lizzie again. "Stay with us."

When they get inside the building, Lizzie starts to lose her grip on Newt which caused him to fall slightly. Thomas had stumbled at that moment so his grip on Newt was lose as well and Newt landed on the ground. Thomas tried his best to catch him, but just ended up kneeling beside him. Lizzie watched with fear as Thomas checked Newt's heartbeat to make sure he was still breathing since at the moment Newt looked lifeless.

"How is he?" Lizzie asked nervously.

"His heartbeat is weak. But it's there." Thomas replies, glancing at her with teary eyes. "Lizzie, you need to go get the serum."

"What?" Lizzie questions in disbelief, sniffling as she wipes the tears from her eyes. "I'm not leaving you guys." 

"Minho and Gally aren't back yet and I don't think Newt has much time left." Thomas explains. Lizzie mentally debates with herself on what to do, fiddling with the bracelet Newt had given her as Thomas talks. "You're just as fast as Minho, maybe even faster, so I know you can make it back in time but only if you leave now."

Lizzie swallows thickly and nods. As much as she didn't want to leave Thomas and Newt, she knew that Thomas was right. "Okay, I'll go." She sniffles again, looking at Thomas worriedly. "Just, be careful."

"I will." Thomas nods, smiling reassuringly at her. "You too." 

Lizzie nodded and after glancing at Newt one last time, she turned and started running. Thomas glanced down at Newt worriedly, hoping and praying that Lizzie made it back in time. Thomas honestly didn't wanted Lizzie to not be there at the moment because even though he didn't want to admit it, deep down he knew that Newt would most likely turn into a crank very soon, meaning either him or Lizzie would have to kill him. Thomas didn't want Lizzie to have to do that or watch Newt die. He knew how much Newt meant to Lizzie; Newt was like her best friend and brother figure.

Half way back to where Brenda and the others were, Lizzie runs into Brenda. Brenda stares at her with surprise and confusion. "Lizzie? What are you doing?"

"No time to talk." Lizzie breathes heavily from running so fast and bends down slightly, putting her hands on her knees as she rests a few seconds. "Need serum." She stands back up, taking the serum from Brenda. "Thank" She quickly said and then turned around to go into a sprint run to get back to Thomas and Newt, leaving behind a confused Brenda who eventually followed her.

All the 'what ifs' questions started appearing in Lizzie's mind as she ran back to Thomas and Newt. What if she doesn't make it in time? What if the serum doesn't work? What if the serum does work but not permanently? She shook those negative thoughts out of her head with a determined expression on her face and ran faster despite feeling like she was out of breath and would most likely pass out soon. She had never ran this fast in her life before, well, expect maybe when she and her friends were escaping the maze, but it was still quite fast and she knew running that fast was for a good reason. 

On Lizzie's way back to Thomas and Newt she heard Teresa talking over the speakers, her talking to Thomas about how his blood was the reason Brenda was cured, that he could cure others, and how she wanted him to come back. Lizzie got back to Thomas and Newt just when she saw Thomas was on the ground, trying to keep Newt from attacking him. Lizzie's eyes widened upon seeing the knife in Thomas' hand and even though she knew Newt most likely asked Thomas to kill him, she wasn't going to let that happen since she had the serum. She ran over to them, gaining Thomas' attention. He dropped the knife, doing his best to keep Newt from attacking him as Lizzie stood behind Newt.

Lizzie stuck the syringe in Newt's neck, stopping Newt from attacking Thomas. Lizzie somehow brought Newt back to being himself for a few seconds or she just distracted the crank part inside him because then Newt glanced at her and it looked like he was in disbelief. Lizzie breathed heavily and she panicked slightly when she saw Newt beginning to fall after he became unconscious. She quickly caught him and laid him down with Thomas' help. 

Lizzie kneels on the ground beside him with teary eyes. "Lizzie," She glances at Thomas, who looks at her with a relieved smile. "You came back in time." Thomas points at Newt's neck. "Look, it's working." Lizzie looked at Newt's neck, noticing the black veins were beginning to slowly disappear and she laughed in disbelief. 

When she heard rushed footsteps, Lizzie looks over to her left and saw Brenda had caught up. Brenda looks at them with a hopeful exression. "Did it work?"

"It worked." Lizzie grins. She glances down at Newt, shrugging. "Well, it's working. Hopefully it keeps working."

"I need to go back." Thomas suddenly said, standing up. 

"Back-wait," Lizzie furrows her eyebrows, looking at Thomas with confusion. "Back to Teresa?" 

Thomas nods. "You heard her, right?" He sighs. "Look, if I can cure others then I should do it."

"I hope you know you can't save everyone." Brenda said, repeating part of something she said a few days ago to him.

Thomas smiles slightly and nods. "I have to try." He picked up the gun that was on the floor, and then turned around to walk back to the WICKED building.

Lizzie looks over to her left upon hearing multiple footsteps and saw Minho, Gally, and Frypan. "Is he okay?" Minho questions, glancing at Lizzie worriedly. 

Lizzie smiles at him and the other boys. "It's working."

The three boys sigh with relief as they glance at Newt's unconscious body. "Now we just have to get him back to the Berg." Lizzie spoke.

"We can help with that." Frypan said, gesturing to himself and Gally, who nodded in agreement. 

Lizzie nods, smiling at the two and as the two boys go to pick up Newt, Minho walks over to Lizzie to wrap an arm around her and pull her close. "I'm so proud of you." Minho whispered to her, kissing the top of her head.

Lizzie's face heats up and her heart flutters. "Thank you." She smiled, wrapping her arms around him to hug him and he wrapped his other arm around her to hug her back. 

"I love you." Lizzie mumbled. 

"I love you too." Minho replied, kissing the top of her head before he rested his head on hers and hugged her tightly.

Everyone gets back to the Berg and makes sure to get Newt on board with them. When Lizzie panicked upon not seeing Thomas back yet, she knew that they had to go search for him. So Jorge flew the Berg around the town that was being destroyed and they all kept an eye out for Thomas. Lizzie was beginning to lose hope when they haven't found him in a few minutes, but then she spot him and Teresa on top of a burning building. 

"There's Thomas!" Lizzie points out with a smile. "And Teresa's with him too!"

"Okay, let's get 'em." Jorge said, flying the Berg as close to the building as he could but stayed far enough away so the Berg wouldn't get on fire. 

"Alright, I'll get the hatch." Brenda spoke, rushing over to the hatch.

Jorge flew the Berg around so the opening of it was facing the part of the roof Thomas and Teresa were on. Lizzie noticed that Teresa had got Thomas up and was helping him walk over to the Berg which made her worry about him since she knew if he had trouble walking on his own that meant he was hurt. She couldn't see them that well from where she was in the Berg, but it looked like Teresa was hurt as well. She just hoped they both could make it. 

Brenda presses the button to open the hatch as Vince got tied up so he wouldn't fall when helping Thomas and Teresa in. "I can't get any closer!" Jorge called out.

The hatch opens and Vince gets to the edge. Minho gets on the hatch as well, holding onto a railing on the left side while Lizzie stayed by where Newt laid to keep an eye on him. "Come on!" Vince encouraged. 

Teresa managed to get Thomas and up again after he fell down and together they limped towards the edge of the roof. Vince was laying on his stomach, reaching his hand out and Minho stayed close by in case he needed to help get them up. Thomas and Teresa were at the very edge of the roof, a few inches away from the Berg, but still not close enough. 

"Get closer!" Teresa shouted over the loud noise of the Berg, the yelling and gunshots in the distant. 

"Jump!" Vince exclaimed. 

Thomas reached forward enough to grab onto Vince's hand, but they lost grip causing Teresa to say 'no' and the others groan in frustration. Gally and Brenda were now by the hatch to help get Thomas and Teresa and Gally called out to Jorge that he needed to get closer.

Jorge managed to move a little bit closer to the building, but an explosion of a nearby building caused the Berg to move side to side slightly and made anyone who was standing up stumble a bit. 

"Come on." Teresa said to Thomas.

"Come on, reach!" Minho exclaimed, reaching out to them along with Vince. 

Thanks to Teresa's help with pushing Thomas forward, Vince and Minho managed to quickly grab onto Thomas' arms and pulled him up on the hatch. Vince reached out to Teresa, telling for her to come on. Everyone looked over at the building that's right by the burning building Teresa is on when it suddenly started falling as it got caught on fire. Lizzie watched with wide eyes when the building fell on the one Teresa is on, causing her to fall down.

"Teresa!" Thomas shouted worriedly. He was now laying on his side on the hatch, staring at Teresa with wide eyes.

Teresa stood, turning to face everyone, but looked directly at Thomas with a sad smile. Lizzie gasped when she saw the roof Teresa was standing on crumbling, a tear falling down from her teary eyes when Teresa fell along with the building. 

"No!" A gut wrenching scream came from Thomas when Teresa fell and a tear fell down his face as he watched the building be completely destroyed. 

Vince rubbed Thomas' back to comfort him and then grabbed his arm to pull him away from the edge along with Brenda. Thomas' shirt was rolled up and all were shocked to see a shot wound on his stomach. Minho started putting pressure on his wound since it was bleeding as everyone else started rushing around to get things to help Thomas' wound while Thomas fell unconscious. 

Lizzie sighed sadly as she looked at the destroyed building Teresa once stood on before the hatch closed. Even though she wasn't really friends with Teresa, she was still sad that she died. Teresa helped Thomas because if it wasn't for Teresa throwing Thomas towards the Berg, Thomas probably wouldn't be alive right now. So she's thankful for Teresa doing that. 

Now she's just looking forward to getting to a safe place and maybe even starting a normal life. Or at least one where her and her boyfriend and friends don't have to run away from evil people.
