"Thomas, stop! Tell me what's going on." Theresa yelled, catching everyone's attention. Minho was already next to me, checking if I had any cuts or bruises. "Minho I'm fine." I whispered. "I'm just checking." He says back, which makes me smile at how much he cares. He smiles in return when he sees me smiling and wraps his arm around my waist, kissing the side of my head before returning our attention back to Thomas.
"It's WCKED. It's WCKED, they lied to us, we never escaped. Me, Aris and Malia found bodies. Too many to count." Thomas told Theresa.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Minho questioned from beside me. "Dead bodies?"
"No, but they weren't alive either." I spoke up, gaining everyone's attention.
"They had them strung up, tubes coming out of them. They were being.. they were being drained. There's something inside us that WCKED wants... something in our blood" Thomas then explained.
"That's why we need to get as far away from WCKED as possible." Thomas continued. Everyone was silent, taking in what we said.
"Okay. So what's the plan?" Newt questioned, breaking the silence. Thomas looked at me and Aris who just shrugged on response. "You do have a plan, right?"
"Yeah. I-I Yeah, I don't know." Thomas spoke.
"Well, we followed you out here, Thomas. And now you're saying you have no idea where we're going, or what we're doing?" Newt raised his voice, clearly annoyed that Thomas didn't think about anything before he brought us out here.
"Wait." Aris spoke up, gaining everyone's attention. "Janson said something about people hiding in the mountains. Some kind of resistance or army."
"The Right Arm," Thomas said out loud. " The Right Arm. If they're really against WCKED maybe they can help us."
Newt looked between the two boys, clearly thinking that they are insane. "People? In the mountains? Mountain people? That's your plan?" Newt spoke. His response made me chuckle, earning a glare from Thomas. I roll my eyes at him before he returns back to Newt. "It's the only chance we have."
"Hey, guys. Check this out." Winston called, making everyone gather around him. "Minho give me your light." Winston calls out. Minho walks towards Winston and crouches down next to him, shining his light to what seems to be foot prints?
"Someone's been down here." Winston says, making everyone look at one another.
We all walk around the mall, looking for anything that could help us. Minho was walking beside me the whole time as we looked around this abandoned mall.
We walked over to what looked like a store, but was closed off. "Come on, open it up," Minho said. Myself and a few others helped Minho open up the shutters.
Everyone looked around, looking for anything useful. Dust filled the room, "Looks like people lived here." Winston spoke up.
"But where are they now?" Newt questioned. "Malia over here!" Theresa called. I walked over towards her to see her looking through a bunch of clothes she found. "Here try this on." She handed me a plain black T-shirt, jacket, and a scarf for when we head out back into the sand dunes.
