Secrets

"Everyone good?!"

We're all surrounded by darkness looking around at a complete abandoned place as Minho pulls out his torchlight looking around.
Holy crap I've got sand everywhere.
Everywhere.

Okay get back on topic we have many other things to worry about.

"Where the hell are we?" Minho questions looking around and we all are still panting catching out breaths.

"We gotta go." Thomas instantly says rushing us out of here as quickly as possible.
"Yeah come on-"

"No! No Blake Thomas stop!" Teresa yells at us causing us to completely stop as I turn my head to Thomas.
"Tell me what's going on." She continues to say and he listens to her.

Everyone's stands stationary and Thomas glances over at me. And I wait for him. I wait for him to tell everyone that she's my mother.
That I'm the child of a woman who caused this.
And my heart, my heart starts to sink the fear growing.
I shake my head my eyes pleading him not to say anything.

"It's WICKED. They lied to us we never escaped. Me and Aris we found bodies. Too many to count."
Thomas explains keeping his eyes on me and I can see Newt watching everything.

"What do you mean? Dead bodies?" Minho asks as he turns his head to me.
"No but they wernt alive either They had them strung up with tubes coming out of them." Thomas described and I have the memory of every body in my head.
"It's like they were sucking out their lives."

"There's something inside us WICKED wants. Something in our blood." Thomas continues to say and everyone stares at him silent.

"How were you there?" Minho questions and I stand there frozen. My mom wanted to see me?

"Avery, she took me in there." I answer realising how many questions this raises.
"Avery?" Frypan asks confused and I sigh nodding. "The guard. I don't know I don't think she's with WICKED but she doesn't support them. I don't know but she's the reason I'm not back there."
I try my best to explain as well as possible how I trust Avery. How I don't think she's working against us.

"So what's the plan?" Newt asks us and I stand there silent not knowing how to answer that.
"You guys do have a plan right?" Newt asks and I shrug not knowing what to say.

"Yeah. I don't know." He mutters.
"Well we followed you here, Thomas, now you're saying you have no idea what was doing where we're going." His raises his voice at him and I place my hand on his shoulder pulling Newt back a little.

"Okay we're out Newt. That's the main part." I try calm him and he looks at me realising slowly exhaling with a nod.

"Wait. Janson said something about people hididng in the mountains. Some kind of resistance or army." Aris remembers and I instantly remember Jansons words nodding along.

"The right arm." Me and Thomas both say together.
"If they're really against WICKED maybe they can help us." Thomas realises and I not along. They seem trusted.
What if we can count on them.

"People, in the mountains? Mountain people?" Newts voice goes high again and I see the doubt in his eyes.
"You really think they can help us?" He turns his head to me and I nod along agreeing with Thomas.

"They're our only hope."
"It's the only chance we have." Thomas adds and he locks his eyes with me as I see his contemplation to tell everyone.

"Hey guys, check this out." We hear Winston call and I turn my head to him seeing crouched to the ground.
"Minho your light." I tell him trying to see what he was looking at.

"Someone's been down here." Minho says looking down at the footprints and I decide to take my bag of searching for a torch as I successfully grab one.

And I march ahead pointing the light at the footprints.
"Hey hey calm down shank." Minho says pulling my hand back stopping me from going ahead.
