Trevor's POV
There was a guard standing in front of my tube. I turned around and looked at Emma. I could still see the fear in her eyes. I was scared as well but not as much as her.
''Where do you think they are?'' one of them asked.
''I don't know, do you think he'd tell us?'' the girl replied.
The man walked over to me.
''Do you know where your friends are?'' he asked.
''No, even if I did I wouldn't tell you'' I replied.
''Fine have it your way, but if you do change your mind let me know'' he said then started walking away.
''Even if I decide to help you find my friends, wouldn't you just out me back in here since I'm gay'' I said.
He turned around.
''If you help us then no" he replied.
He left after that.
''Are you going to help them?'' Emma asked.
''I don't know'' I replied.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"I just need some time to think about it" I replied.
Two guards left in a hurry. Two more people were going to get captured. One of the female guards stayed behind to keep an eye on us.
"Why are you doing this?" Emma asked.
The girl turned around.
"We don't like people that are different and because you guys don't wanna change who you are, we keep you here" she said.
After that she turned around. Emma and I just looked at each other.
"If the only way to get out of here was by being like them, there was no way I was getting out anytime soon" I thought to myself.
I let out a sigh.
"If I accept their offer then they'd have to let me out, but that would mean that I'd have to help them find Jacob and the others" I thought.
"You ok?" Emma asked.
"Not really" I replied.
The guard walked away. The others came back with 2 girls.
"Put one in the tube with him and the other by herself" the man said.
The 2 guards did as they were told. The girl just looked at me. She turned back to the other girl across from us then back to me. She held out her hand. We couldn't link fingers.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Rebecca" she replied.
"I'm Trevor" I said.
She gave me a shy smile.
"Why were you captured?" she asked.
"I'm gay" I replied.
She nodded.
"What about you?" I asked.
"Same reason why you're here" she replied.
I looked over at the tube across from us. The girl was just looking at Rebecca.
''Is that your girlfriend?'' I asked.
''Yeah her name's Caitlin we've been secretly dating for a year now, they found us and brought us here'' she replied.
''A year is a long time'' I said.
''Yeah'' she replied.
She turned around and pressed her hand against the glass. All I was able to see was Caitlin saying I love you. Rebecca turned around again to face me.
''What about you?, do you have a boyfriend?'' she asked.
''No I don't, but I do like someone'' I replied.
''What's his name?'' she asked.
''Jacob" I replied.
"Did they capture him?" she asked.
"Yeah they captured him a few weeks before they captured me, he was able escape but I wasn't'' I replied.
''I'm sorry'' she said.
''It's ok'' I replied.
''How long have you been here?'' she asked.
''A few days now'' I replied.
''How come they put Rebecca in the tub with you?" Caitlin asked.
"Well since we're not straight they put in us in the same tube as a way to bring us closer, we also had to try to hold hands to see if that would make us normal" I replied.
''They might put us in a tube together'' I added.
She nodded.
''What does it mean if you can't hold hands?'' Rebecca asked.
''You don't feel normal with that person'' I replied.
One of the guards walked over pulling Caitlin out of the tube.
''No!'' Rebecca yelled.
I held her back. She started crying. I hugged her trying to comfort her. 10 minutes later the guard put Caitlin back inside the tube. He looked at me.
''I still need some time to think'' I said.
He sighed then walked away.

''Babe are you ok?'' Rebecca asked looking at Caitlin.
She nodded while shaking slightly.
"What did they do to you?" she asked.
"Sprayed me with cold water" Caitlin replied.
"They do that as a way to cleanse you from your wrong doings" I said.
"But there's nothing wrong with us" Rebecca replied.
"In their eyes there is" I said.
"Why'd you tell that guard that you needed more time to think?" she asked.
"They offered me a deal, I help them find my friends and they let me out of here" I replied.
"What are you going to do?" Caitlin asked.
"I don't know" I replied.
The girl walked over taking Rebecca out of my tube and putting her in the one behind me. She pressed a button and white steam started coming out of the top of my tube.
"You still haven't decided whether you'll be one of us or not, maybe we can help you make up your mind" she said before I passed out.
She opened the tube and dragged me out. Caitlin and Rebecca just watched as they dragged me out of the room.
35 minutes later.
The guard took me back to my tube. I was still a bit wet and cold from the water but this time I also had a few bruises on my face.
"What did they do to you?" Rebecca asked.
"After they sprayed me with cold water, they beat me up" I replied.
"That's their way of helping you make up your mind?" she asked.
"I guess so" I replied.
One of the guards started walking back inside the room. He walked over to me.
"Have you thought about our offer?" he asked.
"Yeah I've thought about it and my answer is...."
