FORGE OF OAK, Thomas ✓

016

It was the next day and Thalia was in the same spot at their table from her first day at the place they were 'rescued' from WICKED. Janson, not Jensen like Thalia previously presumed, (totally not a mistake on my part..) was listing off names.

"Barry.." he continued, "Walt, Edgar, Samantha."

"I wanna see what's on the other side of that door." Thomas said, looking straight at Jensen. Newt sighed, "No, we've been through this. You said they were covered up so you dont know what you saw. It could've been anything."

"Aaron." Jensen's voice gives Thalia a headache and she has no idea why, so she holds her head as she tries to listen to Thomas and Newt. "I know exactly what I saw they were bodies." Thomas responds to Newt.

"Aris said they bring in a new batch every night." Thalia mumbles, still holding her head as everyone turns to her. "Who the hell is Aris?" Minho asks. Thalia sighs and looks up, pointing to the boy sitting by himself and playing with an apple.. well, more like inspecting it. Okay, so he doesn't look like the brightest person in the world.

"Tim." Jensen speaks, and Thalia winces. "Hey, hey.. Lia, you alright?" Thomas asks, carefully placing a hand on her arm. She sighs, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just didn't get much sleep last night." She lies, still trying to ignore the pounding headache.

"Well, I'm sold." Minho says, looking back at Thalia.

"And last but not least.. David." Jansen says, and some people clap which just makes Thalia groan and lay her head on the table. "Thank you for your attention! Enjoy the rest of your evening." Jansen shouts, leaving out with the rest of the group.

"Okay until we know anything certain we should just keep our heads down and try not to draw any attention to ourselves, alright?" Newt says, turning back to Minho. Thomas, being the absolute idiot that Thalia wants to punch that he is, gets up from the table and walks over to the doors. "What is he doing?" Newt asks.

"I think he's drawing attention to himself." Frypan answers, sitting up as well. They watch as the guard doesn't let Thomas in, then it escalates and they all have to hold Thomas back. "Why wont you let me see her?" Thomas shouts as they all hold him back from the Guard.

"Control your friend!" The guard shouts back and Jansen goes in front of the Guard. "What's happening here?" He shouts and Thalia takes her hand off Thomas shoulder to hold her head again. This bitch, his voice is absolutely receding, Thalia thinks.

"Thomas! Thought we could trust each other?" Jansen says, standing in between them all. "You know were all on the same team here."

"Are we?" Thalia mutters from where she's standing behind Thomas, suddenly feeling light headed. "Thalia. Doing alright there?" Jansen asks, smiling slightly. "Perfectly fine." She grits her teeth, glaring at him.

She stumbles backwards, and Thomas grabs her shoulders this time. "Lia? You alright?" she falls to the floor, groaning. "Thomas," She mutters. "What? Lia what's wrong?" he asks.

"Get them to their bunks." Jensen says, and the guards push them back into their room. It was all a blur, for Thalia. She was placed onto her bunk and she could hear some yelling, but couldn't make it out until someone was shaking her to get up.

"Come on Lia, lets go." It was Thomas, and she hesitantly got up, suddenly feeling much better as Thomas crawled down to a vent. "All right look, maybe you guys are right and I'm just being paranoid. But I gotta find out for sure. Just cover for us. We'll be back as soon as we can."

And suddenly she was crawling through a vent with Thomas and Aris again, stopping at the door when Thomas swipes the keycard and they enter the blue lighted room.
