DAPHNE DIDN'T REMEMBER THE beach, she couldn't recall any memories of her old self going to the beach. Maybe beaches didn't even exist anymore, but either way, this desert she was in, was making her hate the beach. Where was the water?
She coughed a few times, wanting to slow down for just a second. Closing her eyes for a moment, Daphne heard Newt yell, "Daphne, we have to keep moving!"
Opening her eyes again, she nodded, Newt wrapping an arm around her shoulder to make sure she didn't fall behind. She placed a hand on her stomach, trying to sooth the pain.
"Over here!" Teresa screamed, jumping into what was left of a roof of a building.
Thomas ran over, shaking his head. "Teresa, no!"
"I guess we're going in there." Trinity sighed, letting out a few coughs. She hopped down, making sure not to let go of the bag in her hand. Minho, Winston, and Frypan followed her, Newt going after them.
"Come on, Daph." He whispered, helping her down as she continued to clutch her stomach. "Daphne—"
"I'm okay." She cut him off, standing up straighter. "The pain meds will kick in soon."
"I'm just worried about what they did to you, love." Newt said.
"Tell me what's going on." Teresa looked at Thomas.
"Yeah, what is exactly is happening? I was passed out like 15 minutes ago." Daphne reminded.
"It's WICKED. It's WICKED. They lied to us. We never escaped." Thomas admitted and Daphne's eyes widened. "Me and Aris, we found bodies. Too many to count.
"Dead bodies?" Daphne questioned.
"No, but they weren't alive either. They had them strung up. With tubes coming out of them. They were being drained." Thomas explained and Daphne looked down, trying to piece everything together."There's something inside of us that WICKED wants."
"Something in our blood." Daphne spoke, making everyone turn to her. "The Flare is a virus that's killing everything in it's path. The only reason we're not dead yet is because we're immune, our generation is. We probably produce some sort of chemical that makes us immune."
"Weren't you just passed out 15 minutes ago? Why are you smart already?" Minho smirked.
"So we have to get as far away from them as possible." Thomas said.
"Okay. So, what's the plan?" Newt asked and Thomas stood silent. "You do have a plan, right"
"Oh god." Trinity groaned, running her hands over her face.
"Yeah. I don't know." Thomas mumbled.
"Well, we followed you out here, Thomas... and now you're saying that you have no idea where we're going... or what we're doing." Newt sighed.
