We thought it was over

     We arrived to our destination which was a huge cement building. They gave us food, new clothes, we could shower and even got rooms with proper beds. In the evening we had to meet the people who saved us. The boys had their own rooms on one side of the building and us girls had a different room. Before the guards could leave us I had to ask them about Newt. "Excuse me, uhm, can I walk to the boys?" as the words left my mouth the guard just shrugged and answered. "Miss, it is better if you stay here and get some rest" with that he closed the door. 

     I tried sleeping but everything seemed to be too perfect. Too calm. I tried reaching out to Newt and Thomas but none of them answered. It felt as if they both disappeared. After who knows how much time I finally fell asleep. Later that night I woke up to a sound. It was coming from the window. When I walked closer I realised there were people trying to get inside. They looked crazy. Very much like dead people. I got startled by the sound of a knock on the door. "Hey, Aris you alright?" asked the voice of a woman. I walked closer to the door. In that moment they managed to open it. By they I mean many girls. I was very confused so I had to ask questions. "What is going on? Why are we here? Where is Newt?" as I said one of the girls walked forward. "I could ask you the same questions. Where is Aris?" she asked. Teresa walked closer and started talking to the girl whose name was Harriet. 

     After a while of talking we realised we were all part of the same experiments. We were interrupted by the gasp of one of the girls "Harriette, you have something on your neck. A tattoo saying 'Property of W.I.C.K.E.D. Group B. Subject B3. The Leader'" she said. Then Harriet told the blonde girl, Sonya to turn around. "Yours is 'Property of W.I.C.K.E.D. Group B. Subject B2. The Doctor'" Sonya turned to Harriet with a very confused look on her face. "Me? A doctor? No way" she said. Meanwhile I read Teresa's tattoo. "'Property of W.I.C.K.E.D. Group A. Subject A1. The Betrayer'" I said and observed Teresa's face. It felt as if she already knew it. As she saw my reaction she decided to read my tattoo next. "'Property of W.I.C.K.E.D. Group A. Subject A4. The Saver'"

     None of us knew what these tattoos meant, why we had them on our necks and why we did not remember anything. I started thinking about my own tattoo. Who will I have to save and why? My thoughts started getting overwhelming so I snapped out of it and started listening to the girls. That is when I heard someone crying. "I can't live like this. I need him back" said the girl who turned out to be Jessica, while sobbing. On her neck I could read 'Property of W.I.C.K.E.D. Group A. Subject A18. The Suicidal'. I tried to calm her down and tell her about times when we will be reunited with the boys and how we had to stay strong for them. After that we all decided to explore the building but found nothing useful. We stayed in the room for about 3 days. The only thing we had we the water from the tap. We could only sleep. We had to save all our energy. We were all exhausted. We had no food. We had no energy. We had nothing. Nobody was there to help us this time. The only thing I could think about was Newt. I imagined seeing him once again. Thinking about him helped me fall into a deep sleep.
