𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐈𝐍𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 Thomas and Newt as they silently watched dozens of guards on motorcycles zooming out of the bunker, their headlights illuminating across the sky as if it was a concert of some sort.

"Stay low, stay low," Thomas commanded, keeping a hand on the small of her back, stopping her from sitting up. After triple checking to make sure that no guards were coming their way, the group ventured down the mound.

"Hey Teresa, where are you going?" Thomas shouted questioningly as the girl ran off down a hill. "we all need to stay together!"

"Come on!" she ushed charlotte to go into the abandoned building first, struggling to find a way down without putting too much pressure on her ankle, she grabbed a piece of some plastic debris and used to as a sled to slide down the sand mound.

Teresa followed straight after her, helping her stand back up with ease,she muttered a small thankyou before limping away from where the boys were basically throwing themselves down the mound. Charlotte was glad to have another girl with her, ecstatic even, she hadn't even seen a boy before she was 'rescued'.

"Where the hell are we?" Mihno breathed out.

"I can't see anything!"

"Hey what's this?" Charlotte reached her hands out hoping to find something to lean on, she grabbed some sort of fabric and pulled it towards her, testing if it was stable. Thomas felt every muscle in his body tense, he felt as if he couldn't move at the feel of the girl's hands on his chest.

Unexpectedly to Charlotte, Thomas came stumbling into her.

"Frack, I'm so sorry, I was just looking for something to lean on, sorry-" she fumbled, panicking slightly.

"Itsfinedontworryaboutit," he said, without breathing, he held his hand up to grab the part of his shirt that she grabbed, Newt gave him a suggestive look before he limped towards the rest of the group.

A bright light shone directly on her face, tightly squeezing her eyes shut, she brought her hands up to her face to shield herself. "What the frack are you doing, you absolute crackhead!"

"Oh, my bad," Mihno sniggered as he redirected his flash light to his surroundings.

"We gotta go now," Thomas ushered, pulling Charlotte with him.

"Thomas stop! Teresa screamed, "Tell me whats going on!"

Letting go of Charlottes arm, he paced forwards to Teresa, "It's still WICKED, they lied to us, we never escaped" he inhaled a shaky breath, "Me and Aris... we found bodies, too many to count."

"Dead bodies?" Mihno questioned, eyebrows raised.

"No but they weren't alive either, they were uh . . . strung up" Charlotte noticed Teresa looking down with guilt, scratching the back of her neck, she raised an eyebrow at the dark-haired girl who gave a shaky smile in return.

Aris joined in, "They were being drained or something.. they had tubes sticking out of them, there's something of ours that WICKED wants, needs maybe."

"Our blood, they kept on taking so many samples from me... and my group. We need to get as far away as possible from these guys." Charlotte finished bluntly.

The group all nodded in agreement.

"So . . . what's the plan then? I'm sure that's what we're all thinking of right now," he looked over the group, "Well, most of us." he glanced at Charlotte who was aggressively shaking her head around, as if she was at a heavy metal concert of some sort, desperate to get the sand out of her hair.

"What?" she said, standing upright.

"You do have a plan right, Tommy?" he raised an eyebrow.

Anxiously Thomas looked to Aris for help, "Yeah...."

Newt shook his head with a scoff, "We all followed you out here, Thomas, and you don't even have a bloody plan?" He threw his hands in the air "So we don't know where we're going or even what we're bloody doing?"

"Wait," Aris spoke up, "The Janson rat man said that there are people hiding in the mountains, some kind of army or resistance,

"The right arm.." Thomas said, the left corner of his mouth twitching up slightly, "If they're really against WICKED, maybe they could help us?"

"People.." Newt started "Mountain men? That's our best plan?"

Staring into space, Charlotte thought hard and decided it was best for her to get out of everyone's way in their plan-making plans, so she wandered off slightly from the group to explore a bit.

She couldn't see very well, but the light from Mihno's flashlight was helping and her eyes had now adjusted. She could just about make out some indents in the sand just in front of her, footprints.

She kneeled down to get a closer look, "Guys, check this out!" she called.
