UNPREDICTABLE ✞

Like what? WICKED is good?

I try to open my eyes but I find it impossible to. Okay, what the fuck did Minho do to me this time?

"Is she awake?" I hear.

Is who awake? Me? Who asked that? There was a familiar yet unfamiliar voice talking but I could hear two sets of feet walking around me, where am I?

"No, I told you. She is heavily sedated. She couldn't wake up even if I was standing next to her shouting something ridiculous."

That's the voice to the second set of footsteps but it rings a bell, I just don't know why.

"Like what? WICKED is good?"

"Keep your voice down! What are you trying to do? Get yourself caught?"

"Ugh, I'm just sick of watching them all in that place. Anyway, how's the baby coming along?"

My baby? What's going on with my baby?

"The baby is fine and completely healthy. Newt is forcing her to eat so the baby is getting everything it needs."

"Yeah, for now."

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? What happens when the baby is due, Zeke? She has no clothes for it, no place for It to sleep, no food, no baby milk, no baby anything! I'm sure her and Newt will make wonderful parents but they just don't have the resources to do so."

"Shauna, you need to calm down. We will send things in the box until she can figure it out."

"What if she doesn't, Zeke? What if she doesn't figure it out? Thomas is acting edgy, I think they are going to send him in and you know what will happen when that happens!"

What will happen? What do I need to figure out? What's going on?

"They will get rid of her, take her out the Glade. I know."

"We can't let that happen,"

I feel something being put in my pocket but I can't move a muscle at all, and even if I could, it would just give away that I'm awake.

"What did you just put her in her pocket?"

"A little help, it's fine. I used that ink we created in chemistry, the invisible one?  She'll figure it out. She managed to figure out everything back in Chicago."

"I think learning why she has a plank piece of paper in her pocket is a little different to what happened back in Chicago, Shauna."

"Oh come off it, Zeke, you know I'm right. Oh, Natalie wants to see you straight after this."

"Natalie wants to see me? It must be important then."

"She needs you to talk to Ava about David and Matthew."

"This should be promising,"

"I wonder how much she knows already,"

"I don't know, but I hope she has enough. Word in the control room is that Ava is planning on moving everything forward."

"What does that mean?"

"The grievers will no longer steer clear of Tris,"

"Come on, let's get her back."

Back to where?

+++

I sit up and gasp, looking around and hearing the light snores of Newt beside me.

I calm my breathing and with shaky hands, I lift off the covers and slide out of bed. I get ready for today and I put my hands in the trousers I had just changed out of and my fingers brushed against paper.

Was that real?

I didn't think it was a good idea to try and read it now, especially if what this Shauna was saying about it being invisible ink, I'll have to figure it out later. I slip it into my shorts pocket and I tie my laces and shove my blonde hair into a ponytail.

I plant a kiss on Newt's lips before slipping out the door and silently walk down the stairs and out the homestead door. I meet Minho at the wall doors and he hands me my backpack.

"Thanks," I say.

"No problem,"

We stand in silence and one by one, the other runners came and stood in silence with us. That was until someone asked something that surprised us all.

"Have any of you seen Alby recently?"

We were all stunned, I personally haven't seen him since... Well, I can't even remember! That says a lot.

We all stand in silence once again and then the doors finally open. We all nod to each other and then jog down the small corridor before we all split ways.

I go right with Ben and Minho, while the rest, who's names I have still yet to learn, go left. We branch ways again and I go straight ahead, the other two splitting ways. I run for a while, chopping at vines even though I don't necessarily have too anymore, and I soon come to a stop as I see a plaque.

World in catastrophe killzone experiment department.

It actually says what everyone else sees, I walk up to it and place a warm hand against it and recoil almost instantly. It felt like a shock, but I knew it was because of the warmth of my hand against the smooth freezing cold surface. I place my hand once more against the plaque and this time, nothing happened.

I sigh and continue running and I see more and more plaques, and although I don't understand as to why, I keep touching them, even though I knew I was going to get shocked the first time I touch it.

I started counting them all, making sure to put a bunch of vines underneath the plaques to make sure I didn't count one twice. I finally got to do what I promised my mother I'd do, count all the plaques.

There were twenty-four plaques all together.

After a while, I became hungry, tired and dehydrated so I stopped and sat down, leaning my back against the wall and stretching my bare legs out on the cold concrete floor. I pull out my water and food from my backpack and munch and sip on it and I manage to finish all my food and half the bottle of water in just under ten minutes.

I become very sleepy and I decide it would be best for me to start heading back to the glade.

Loads of questions float around in my head, starting to give me a migraine.

What is the point of me being here?

Why am I here?

Who's Shauna?

Who's Zeke?

What happened back in Chicago?

What is happening?

I sigh as the glade comes into view I run through the doors and I run straight to the homestead, up the stairs and into bed, I see Newt still snoring away on the bed as I throw my bag on the floor and lie on the bed myself. It wasn't long for me to fall asleep, the minute my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.
