we hit a barricade, the car went tumbling into the ground, eventually toppling over. "is everyone okay?" i coughed, trying to unbuckle myself.
fry moaned. "my hand-"

newt kicked out the window as i crawled out with a torch, i helped pull the door out but i couldn't. "fry go around." i panted, moving to the other side.

newt jumped out then fry followed. a crank screamed in the distance, eventually spotting us, running his legs this way.
"FRY, COME ON WE GOTTA GO!" i jumped in fear.
eventually fry dropped out of the car with a gun blasting the crank in the chest.

the growls moves closer as we run backwards, fry still shooting from afar. we stopped as we realized the amount of cranks in the other direction.
"fuck!"
frypan continues to shoot his gun before yelling defeatedly. "IM OUT!"

a sudden car revs, pushing the cranks to the floor, it comes straight towards us and stops. brenda pops out the top of the truck. "GUYS, GET IN!"

we zoomed out of the tunnel. "oh my god." i panted for breath, leaning back on my seat.
"you guys almost lasted a whole day." jorge chuckles.

"thanks for saving us guys." i scoffed, almost falling asleep since i'm exhausted.
"you're welcome." thomas in the back spoke, rolling his eyes sarcastically.

newt looked off into the distance. jorge immediately stepped on the break, dust settling on our clothes, we hopped out to take a better look.

we laid our eyes on a massive city in the distance, i was huge. it was so beautiful and looked peaceful but i knew what was lurking inside.
"funny.. we spent 3 years trying to break out of walls and now we wanna break back in." newt spoke nervously.

me and jorge took a sorry sigh, getting back into the car, everyone else followed. "minho better hold tight." i scoffled,whistling as jorge stepped on the gas.

i turn to newt silently as the car was tipping over the rocks beneath us. "hey, newt. you okay?"
he nodded hesitantly. "yeah, liv. i'm fine."

i had noticed he'd been more fidgety than before. the feeling in my stomach was eating me from the inside.

eventually after jorge had driven us a few hundred miles in three hours we reached the breach of the city, a massive town, where there were swarms of people everywhere.
"we gotta stay together." thomas said, pushing his way through.

we hear a man behind us on a microphone, chanting. "we are the voice. of the voiceless! they hide behind their walls, thinking they..."

the voice fades out in my head as the car rattled down the path. men with guns were on top with gas masks.

my eyes lay upon one boy, but he was quickly wheeled away on the vehicle.
thomas glanced up to see about five aircraft's above, hovering over us.

the crowd moved to the entrance of the city walls, chanting with signs, thomas said, pointing at the entrance. "that's our way in!"

we follow thomas as the leader upfront, i kept a close distance to newt, the funny feeling was back. i tapped newt on the shoulder, half-yelling. "i've got a bad feeling about this, newt!" he shook his head and continued walking.

thomas and jorge made a line to get to the front. "thomas, this doesn't feel right!" jorge gulped, pure fear in his eyes.
newt looked back nervously as he glanced towards the ground. he turned to look at me. "do you see what i'm seeing?"

i nodded and gulped, putting my hands into my pockets. "if you mean the big scary bloke behind us in the mask then yes." i whispered back.

newt reached the entrance. "guys! we gotta go now!"
jorge pulled out his gun just before loud metallic noises came from the walls of the building.

the crowd silenced, glaring seemingly at the guns pointing towards us; two loud bombs exploded before i was pulled backwards.
"RUN!" thomas yelped, pushing us back.

i kept up with newts limp as thomas was meters in front of us. we hide behind a wall before it immediately explodes behind us.

i fell a hand grab my arm and force me into a van. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" i scream, kicking my way in the van.
i was held tightly so i could move.
"GET OFF ME YOU BASTARD!"

i had managed to calm down during the drive, staring devilishly at the three soldiers with guns in front of me. the van stopped quickly and the door opened.
"get out!" a soldier demanded, holding a gun to my head.

i rolled my eyes, quickly hoping off the truck. another van appeared much more agitated than the one i was in. jorge hopped out, punching a soldier in the face. "WHERE IS SHE?! YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

brenda pulled him off of the soldier before the big commotion began.

one of the soldiers steps up. "everybody relax. we're all on the same side here." i pushed the soldier that was grabbing me.
"the fuck do you mean we're on the same side?! who are you?!"

the soldier took a deep breath before removing his mask.

a familiar face locked eyes with me. "hey, sunshine."

my mouth parts. "gally?" i stutter, taking a foot forward. "h-how are yo-"

thomas flew by my side, taking a hit at gally's face, he fell to the floor. thomas went in for another punch, i pulled his arm. "THOMAS! STOP! it's not worth it."

i could hear thomas' breath shake. "he killed chuck."

i knew thomas wasn't going to freely get off of him so i kicked him off. "we know thomas. gally was stung and half out of his mind. so leave it." i demanded, he listened to me like a puppy dog.

gally stood up, fixing his jaw. frypan and newt still was taken aback.

my eyes lock with gally's gaze, voice almost breaking. "i thought you were dead."
he looked at the floor. "you left me to die- and if we hadn't found you when we did, you would be dead right now."
