What

The

Hell.

Did I hear him  properly?

I turned to the boys section, and saw Minho whisper something into Newts' and Thomas' ear. He began to push through the crowd until he got to the open area in between the two sections.

Why is he giving in so easily? Knowing him, he wouldn't leave without a fight. Maybe he isn't panicking as of right now, sooner or later, he'll completely loose it. I know.

Minho slowly started walking towards Janson. I started sprinting, but then Brenda grabbed me by the arm.

"What are you doing?!" she exclaimed.

"Let go!" I yelped.

I proceeded walking towards him, which turned into a fast walk because he was WAY ahead of me. I stopped in front of him, and put my hand on his forearm.

"What do you think you're doing?!" I asked, almost whispering, because the whole village was dead quiet.

"They ordered. I go" He answered.

"You NEVER give up without a fight, Min, you can't simply leave!" I said

"Mel, If I don't go, they'll shoot up this place. I can not let that happen. If you get hurt, I will loose my shit, I would better be abused, knowing you are alive, than staying here, and letting you die"

He continued walking, and I followed him.

"Please, Minho, stay. We'll protect each other" I said, limping behind him as he continued walking.

I felt the tears filling up behind my eyes, but I was not going to let them fall. I can't let W.I.C.K.E.D know I have a soft side, or anyone really. I was over that "Old Mel". I still followed him, like I was a lost puppy trying to get past the confusion of why nobody would take me. Then, I put my hand on his shoulder, and turned him around. We were already about 10 meters away from where Janson, Ava Paige, and Teresa were standing. Snipers were already aiming at me from a distance.

"Promise you won't forget me?" I asked him.

He simply nodded.

Why was he acting so calm about this? I hoped that at any moment he would realize what he was doing and snap out of it, but he wasn't.

Then, two guards grabbed him by the arms and pushed him away from me. I crossed my arms and watched.

Why didn't anyone shoot me yet? Everything would be so much easier if they did. Easier for me. No, that was not our goal. Our goal is to find a way out of this, until we go down. It doesn't matter how, or when, but we will. Maybe we'll lose a bunch of people, but we will save a lot too. I took a deep breath in, and saw the guards let Minho go and him walk slowly into the open berg.

I tried to cut through and say a REAL goodbye, but that was when Janson stopped me.

"Where do you thing you are going?" He asked

"I can't even say a proper goodbye?" I asked.

"Why do you need to do that?" asked Ava, "You'll probably see him soon"

"Yeah, emphasize on the word probably" I said back

"Just let them say—"

I wasn't listening to what Teresa was saying, because I saw Minho turn around, and start jogging back to me. I began sprinting towards him, and heard a gun shot fire, but Minho worked fast enough and pulled me away from the flying bullet.

"Don't shoot!" We heard Janson yell.

Minho cradled me in his arms as I buried my head into his chest.
I could hear his heart beating crazy, but his facial expression was calm. I knew he was scared. Just as scared as I was.

"Don't forget me" I sobbed, and let a tear drop.

"I'll never forget you" He said.

He squeezed me harder.

"I love you, princess" he says.

I couldn't say anything. I sobbed to the point where I needed to catch my breath, and could barely speak.
I pulled down the hem of his shirt, and kissed his collarbone. Why can't I speak? I felt to useless now, but Minho made me feel a little better.

He kissed my cheek, and then let me go, where he then entered the berg.

I started walking back, when Janson stopped me.

"Are your going to say goodbye to your sister?" He asked.

I turned back and walked to Teresa. I wanted to punch her to unconsciousness. Maybe even throw a rock at her. Or a knife. Same thing.

I stared at her innocent looking blue eyes.

Traitor.

"Teresa" I said.

She couldn't even look at me, her guilt was showed on her face.
Once I called her name though, she looked back.

"Im sorry Mel, but I think I'm doing the right thing" she said.

"I'm suppose to love you, because we're related, but, right now, you are NOT my sister" I said, holding back the extra tears "And when I say this, I mean it deep deep down in me,"At this point I was holding both hands into fists, and grinding my teeth, "I hate you" I finally said.

I turned back around and saw Newt, arms wide open. I pulled myself to him, put my head on his shoulder, and blankly stared at the ground. I saw Thomas, and Frypan walk up as we saw the bergs doors close. The one Minho was in, but the others weren't flying away.

The berg was only a couple of feet of the ground.

I started walking back to the tent, unknowing of what will happen next.

Boom.

Gun shots started firing, killing some people instantly, everyone took cover.

Boom. Bam.

I felt some sort of numbness on my right shoulder, almost made it to my neck, but ignored it. It only caught my attention when I felt a sudden stab, or burning feeling, and saw blood spout from it.

I've been shot.

"Melissa!" Cried out Thomas, and ran towards me with Brenda.

"Mel, I'll go call Mary!" Yelled Brenda, and jogged away.

I fell on to the floor, almost hitting my head on a rock, but before I could of, Thomas slid onto his knees, and caught my head. I laid on his knees, with his hand on my head, and his other hand on my wound.

"AAA-OOOW!" I screamed, as I felt his hand press against the bullet hole, and hear even more gunshots fire, but my scream was nothing compared to the villagers'.

"Mel, its okay, I'm right here" Thomas said.

"T-Thomas" I said

"What? What is it?" He asked, I stayed quiet for a moment after he said the first 'What?', but then answered.

"What did Minho tell you?" I gulped, gasping for air.

"Mel, take deep breaths, OK?"

I nodded and tried to calm down.

"He told me to protect you, take care of you" he continued.

"Which is exactly what you're going to do, take this" Brenda came back, with Mary, a doctor (not the one at W.I.C.K.E.D).

Brenda gave him a rifle, and she then fled back to where she came from.

I felt this tiredness wash over me.

I closed my eyes.

"Mel! Don't fall asleep! Don't you dare!" Thomas cried, and shook my head

I opened my eyes, and looked down at the wound.

Jesus Christ there was so much blood.

"Bloody hell!" I heard Newt cry.

Yeah, no shit.

I was having a panic attack at this point.

"Melly, please calm down" Thomas said.

"Dude, only I can call her that" Newt said.

"Does that matter boys?!" Exclaimed Mary.

I was so overwhelmed.

Then it came to me.

"SHIT THIS IS MINHOS BLOOD!" I screamed, which only made matters worse.

"What do you mean?!" Yelled Newt.

"He donated it when I had a complication during surgery!" I replied.

"Surgery!?" Exclaimed Mary.

"Yeah, when I... When I was-had..."

"Mel?!"

I shut my eyes, and couldn't open them, but continued trying to say something, which only ended up being mumbling noises.

"mhmmggfff"

"Mel, come one! Wake up!" I heard Thomas yell.

But I couldn't. I simply couldn't.

This is how I die
I thought.
