I woke up, coughing up water, exept it was a little bit black.

"Y/n? Are you ok? Oh my god!" Newt hugged me "You scared the shit out of me"

"What the hell happened?" Minho asked.

"I don't know- I just hit the water and it was like I went into a trance" I explained "I kept seeing them"

"Who?"

"Chuck, Winston, my dad... I- I heard him talking to me-" I stopped, feeling foolish, of course they wouldn't believe that, he's dead, he can't talk to me "I think it might have been a hallucination"

"Hallucination?" Thomas asked.

"Because of the- it doesn't matter,let's just go" I stood up, stumbling a little, but Newt grabbed a hold of me so I didn't trip.

"You four! Don't move!" A bunch of guards pointed their guns at us.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me" Thomas groaned.

"Take it easy"

Thomas went to his pocket to grab his gun " ah-ah-ah! Don't even think about it, get on your knees with your hands in the air"

One of the guards swiftly turned and shot all of the other guards. They fell to the floor, twitching. The guard jogged down over to us and took off his mask, revealing he was Gally.

"Gally?" Minho said.

"Minho" Gally nodded " You guys are nuts, let's go"

We all followed Gally through the city, but Newt started coughing so we stopped. He looked a lot worse now. I sat next to him, his arm around my shoulder.

"Well they're definitely pissed" Gally said.

"How far are the tunnels?" Thomas questioned.

"Uh maybe twelve blocks from here" He looked to both of us then back to Thomas "We can make it"

"Hey, how long have they been like this?" Minho asked them.

"They'll be ok, we've just got to get to Brenda, she's got the serum"

"Come on, Newt, Y/n we got to go"

"So, why are you helping us?" Minho asked "I threw I spear in your chest"

"No one's perfect man" He patted his shoulder and got up.

After a while of persuading, Newt finally agreed to let Thomas and Minho help him walk. I convinced him I was fine to walk on my own, even though I was struggling and almost dragging myself along. I wasn't walking for two minutes before Gally insisted he helped me.

We stopped when we saw an explosion of fire, and buildings collapsing.

"They were supposed to take out wicked not the whole damn city" Gally said.

"Come on we've got to go"

We finally managed to find cover from the explosions and sat down.

Thomas got out his walkie " Brenda are you there?"

"Thomas I'm here" She replied. More explosions went off, they just kept coming "Shit you ok?"

"We're not gonna make it"

"Wait what are you talking about?"

"Just take the others, get everyone out while you still can"

"No"

"Brenda" He sighed.

"I'm not leaving you. Ok? So forget it"

"Eventhough you should?"

I coughed, sputtering black ooze onto the floor. Newt immediately leaned over to me.

"Hey, you alright?" Newt asked.

"I'm about as good as you" I said.

"Thomas don't worry, I'm coming to you!" Brenda spoke through the walkie.

"What are you talking about?"

"Our rides here! Just look for us near the tunnels"
