Chapter 4: Wicked

-Wicked-

We ended up dropping down a corridor. Thomas was first to drop down, swiping the keycard on a door. The door easily opens up to first reveal a dark room with lab coats. As we went deeper into the room, A window to the right revealed a room filled with giant test tubes holding monsters.

A second door in front of us opened, allowing us to progress. I griped (y/n)'s hand instinctively as I saw the whole room filled with people suspended in the air, hooked up to various tubes. We cautiously walked by the seemingly unconscious people.

"Teresa?" our attention was pulled to Thomas who approached a girl. Swiping her hair away to be met with disappointment when he realised it was not who he thought it was. "It's Rachel. They took her the first night. I told her it was going to be okay." Aris solemnly looks at his friend.

"Quick, hide!" The doors started opening. I immediately pulled (y/n) with me behind a pillar, both of us covering our mouths to mask our ragged breathing. "You sure this can't wait?" Janson walks into the room with some assistant. "She was very specific sir, She wanted to talk with you personally." His assistant replied.

"As if I don't have enough to deal with." Janson groaned as they walked to the end of the room to a screen of some kind. "Just bear with me. I'm getting some interference from the storm." His assistant hooks up some tablets and on the screen appears a blond woman sitting at a desk.

"Good evening, Dr. Paige. Lovely to see you again." Janson greeted. I stared at the screen with furrowed brows. The last we saw of this Dr. Paige was back when she blew her brains out in a video back in the maze.

"Change of plans Janson, I'll be arriving a little sooner than expected. First thing tomorrow." Dr. Paige stood up from her seat. They started conversing about plans and progress. I turn to (y/n) to see her glaring with hatred at the two, knuckles turning pale at how hard she was gripping the corner of the pillar.

"I want all the remaining subjects sedated and prepped for harvest by the time I arrive." Dr.Paige orders. Me and (y/n) made eye contact at her order, concerned by what she meant. "Dr. Paige, we are gaping as fast as we can. We are still running tests." Janson tried to explain but she cut him off, "Try something faster."

They started talking about security, talking about us like we are objects. "Have you found the Right Arm?" Dr. Paige asks, piquing our interest. "Not yet. We tracked them as far as the mountains." Janson replies. "So they're still out there and they've already hit two of our installations. They want these kids as badly as we do and I cannot. I cannot afford another loss." Dr. Paige snaps at Janson.

Glances were exchanged between us, Thomas and Aris at the new information. "Might I suggest we start with the most recent arrivals?" Janson suggested. Panic ensues in my heart for my friends since we are the most recent arrivals. When they finished talking, Janson was the first to walk out, the assistant following after turning off the screen.

We crawled as quickly as we could through the vents to our friends. Thomas bursting the lid open and crawling out from under the bed. I crawled out second, helping (y/n) out who was behind me. "We gotta go. We gotta go now." Thomas tells the rest. "What the hell are you talking about?" Everyone was confused as Thomas looked through the little window of the room door.

"They're coming. Come on. We gotta go. They're coming for us." Thomas beckons everyone to the vents. While people were questioning Thomas and Aris, (y/n) took a blanket, quickly tying the door shut to a pipe to buy more time. "Dad?" Aziel approached me. "Hey buddy. Everything is going to be fine okay? We just gotta get out of here." I crouch down, comforting the distressed Aziel in this chaos.
