The breath hitched in my throat and I felt comfort in his presence.

It wasn't like all the other times, when I felt irritated and bitter around him. It was sweet, kind and gentle.

I was of course aware that he was very kind to everyone but me. In my experience, he was always snappy, rude and we despised one another.

What changed all of a sudden?

Faint footsteps interrupted my train of thoughts, the sounds kept appearing and disappearing over the interrupting sound of Newt's breaths.

I lightly pulled away to hear the footsteps clearer, hating myself for it immediately when a wave of cold air hit me, replacing his warmth.

I waited for the footsteps to get closer. Once they had stopped, the lights in the room flickered on and the disturbing groans of cranks got louder.

The room was now bright, many cranks were chained to poles, making just enough space for a small path to a door.

A girl walked through the doorway with a smirk on her face.

"I see you've met our guard dogs." She said playfully.

---

"They're here."

The same girl said, lazily dropping onto the beat-up couch as the rest of us all walked into the room one by one.

The man she was talking to, turned around.

His curly grayish black hair, his fierce eyes, the confidence and authority in his demeanor was all too familiar.

He opened his mouth to talk but his eyes met mine and he too, froze.

My mouth hung open in disbelief.

"Jorge?" I asked.

"Hermana, is that you?"

The girl has now stood up from the couch and squinted her eyes as she inspected me carefully.

That's when I looked at her more clearly as well. Her face structure, her brown eyes filled with fire, like they always are and her confident aura was recognised.

"Sarah!" She tackled me in a tight hug.

"Brenda." I responded, hugging her just as tight.

"I can't believe it's actually you..."

"You know them?" Thomas asked.

The smile on my face dropped at his voice alone, so I ignored his question.

Moments later, Newt asked a similar question, except I answered him.

"Sarah, who are they?" He asked.

I faced him and smiled subconsciously, covering it up quickly by acting as if it were a sarcastic smile.

"I met them years ago, they saved me from a couple of cranks. I visited them to drop off food every once in a while after that." I said dryly.

His face held the same emotion that it always does when he's talking to me. Bored and annoyance.

Although, his mouth twitched up slightly into a smile, his eyes went gentle for a split second. Then, it was gone as quickly as it had came.

"Where'd you guys come from?"
Brenda asked.

I was about to speak but stopped myself, looking down and staying silent.

Brenda and Jorge and the rest of their gang, know how much W.C.K.D is willing to do for the subjects.

A pit in my stomach was formed at the thought of Jorge and Brenda betraying us and selling us to W.C.K.D.

"Sarah..." Brenda's face fell.

"Are you marked, Hermana?" Jorge
asked me.

"No."

I flipped my hair forward, looking
at the floor to make the back of my neck visible to her. A small beep was heard from the tiny machine in Brenda's hand and a sigh of relief left her mouth.

I watched as Brenda scanned the rest of them, they were all marked.

W.C.K.D placed chips in their necks, to show that they are 'property of W.C.K.D'.

"I'm sorry, Hermana. But these guys are valuable, their going back to W.C.K.D."

I wanted to say something, protect them. But it was unnecessary. Jorge winked with the most subtle smirk on his face.

He had a plan.

A sigh of relief left my mouth, the others were taken away by some other guys.

I could hear their protests and their grunts of struggling.

"Sarah! Don't let them send us back! Please!" Aris' voice called out, pain and betrayal laced with every word.

I made eye contact with him and mouthed 'trust me' and sent a gentle smile his way.

His eyes lit up with faith and he sent a smile back whilst nodding before he was dragged away by the guards.

Once it was just me, Brenda and Jorge, I asked.

"So what's the plan, old man?"
