𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 ➁ - The Scorch Trials, Newt

Chapter 1 - Phase two

Raven's POV

'Raven!' I opened my eyes and saw Newt hanging above me. I heard screams and gunshots around us. We were still in the helicopter and it was dark outside. 'Come on!' Newt pulled me up and grabbed my hand.

We got out of the helicopter and started following the men in black.

'Cranks!' I heard a man scream, then I heard more gunshots. Me and Newt continued running and I saw that Thomas, Minho, Teresa, Frypan and Winston did too.

We arrived at a big building.

'Quick!' One man motioned for us to get in the building. A big door opened and we got in.

Just a few seconds after we were inside the door closed again, and all the sounds that came from outside stopped. I looked around me. I saw people running around while some kind of alarm went off.

Someone had told us that we should wait in a room. We were sitting in it until suddenly a door opened. We all turned our head and got up from our places.

I saw a man appear. He was wearing a leather jacket with a grey turtle neck. His hair was brown mixed with gray.

'You kids doing alright?' He walked into the room and we started walking towards him.

'Sorry about all the fuss.' The man said. 'We had ourselves a bit of a swarm.'

'Who are you?' Thomas asked.

'I'm the reason you're all still alive.' He answered. 'It's my intention to keep you that way. Now come with me.' He took a step back. 'We'll get you kids squared away.' He walked out of the room and I gave Minho a glance, then we followed the man.

'You can call me Mr. Janson.' The man, Janson, said once we were walking through another room. 'I run this place.' Janson explained.

'For us it is a sanctuary, safe from the horrors of the outside world.' Janson said while walking. 'You all should think of it as a way station. Kind of a home between homes.'

'That mean your're taking us home?' Thomas asked.

'A home of sorts.' Janso turned around as he was still walking. 'Sadly there wouldn't be much left of wherever you came from. But we do have a place for you. A refuge, outside the Scorch. Where WICKED will never find you again.' He explained. 'How does that sound?'

'Why are you helping us?' Minho said a little suspicious.

'Let's just say the world out there is in a rather precarious situation. We're all on by a very thin thread. The fact that you kids can survive the Flare virus makes you the best chance of humanity's continued survival.' Janson said. 'Unfortunately, it also makes you a target, as no doubt by now you've noticed.'

Janson stopped walking once we were in front of a door. 'Beyond this door lies the beginning of your new lives.' Janson grabbed a card and unlocked the door, revealing a hallway.

Wow, great new life. A shucking hallway.

'First things first.' Janson turned around. 'Let's do something about that smell.'

'Oh, man!' One of the boys said once we got in the showers. Janson had lead us to a bathroom with seperate showers. The water was way hotter then in the Glade and it was nice.

I saw that blood was being removed from my body by the water. I checked my side where the Griever had hit me and saw that it already looked much better. The wound wasn't even looking that bad after all.
