Forrest POV,

"Forrest wake up!" Someone shaked me awake. I took a short nap when we were in the air. It was Teresa, she was screaming.

"FORREST WE HAVE TO GO NOW!" Teresa continued to scream. She pulled me up and started running. It was now night time. Some of the masked man were pulling us towards this huge building. Then some rawrs came and shooting noises came off. They pulled us into the building and the doors started closing. This placed looked like it was a storage house or something. Men were running around working. A sound like an alarm went off. Why do I have the feeling this place doesn't look trustworthy to me. A man guide us to a room with food on the table and couches.

"Wait in here until further notice" A man said then closed the door behind us. In front of us there, the food on the table looked like it was from a five star restaurant. Everybody dug in but I didn't feel like it. I lost one of my best friends, how can I eat at a time like that!

"Pigs" I said to myself disgusted. I took a spot on the couch facing the door. If WICKED got attacked then were did the children go that was there? I help but ask myself that. I just kept on thinking to myself. The guys were finished with all that food in under ten minutes then joined me. Winston stayed at the table. Minho was laying on the table. Thomas, Newt, Teresa and Frypan decided to join me.

"Love? you didn't eat anything? Are you alright?" Newt asked me.

"I didn't feel like eating" I said still looking at the door and sighed.

"How come?" Fry asked join the conversation. Everyone was now wanting to join the conversation.

"Chuck" I sighed. Everyone exchanged upset looks to each other.

"I miss him too" Teresa spoke up.

"Same here. Miss that gullible shank" Minho joined.

"We all miss him" Newt said covering all of us.

"I made him a promise that I'd get him out of the maze and get him to his parents again" Brother said looking at the wooden figure Chuck made.

"Well, let's make a promise to each other" I got an idea. Everyone raised their heads at me.

"No matter what happens, no matter how it happened or either how WICKED did something to us. We'll all stay together til the end" I said the promise. Everyone agreed which made me feel all happy inside. Perfect timing because that's when the door opened. It grabbed everyone's attention. There in the door way was a middle aged man wearing a white turtle neck and a black leather jacket.

"You kids going alright?" The first thing this guy asked. We all walked towards the guy.

"Sorry about all the fuss we had ourselves abit of a storm" He continued.

"Who are you?" Thomas asked.

"I'm the reason your all still alive. It's my intension to keep you that way. Now come with me, we'll get you kids straight away" He said then walked off with us following me. We followed him through a working space with workers holding tools.

"You guys can all me Mr. Janson. I run this place. For us it is a place safe from the horror of the outside world. You should think of it as a waste station, kind of a home between home" Janson explained this place.

"Watch your head" he said pointing up.

"You mean your taking us home?" Brother asked.

"A home of sorts. Sadly there is any of where you came from but we do have a place for us, a refuge outside the scorch were WICKED will never find you again. How does that sound?" He continued.

"Why you helping us?" Minho asked.

"Lets just say that our there the world in in a peculiar situation. A world hanging on by a very thin thread. The fact that you guys can survive the Flare virius makes you guys a very chance of survival. Unfortunately it also makes you a target. Theres no dought by now" He continued.

"Behind this door is the beginning of your new life's" Janson said then swiped a card. The door lifted up showing a long hall.

"First things first. Lets do something about that smell" He said then gave us a look. He showed us a shower room.

"This one is for the boys" Janson said then two guys behind him gave them towels and fresh cloths. The two guys threw them in.

"Follow me ladies" He said and continued to walk. He showed us the washroom for ladies. He handed us a towel and some fresh cloths. He opened the door for us like a gentleman. I walked in to see private small rooms that were showers. I took the one that was in the corner of the room. When I was finished I dried myself and got into the clothes they gave me. Cream sweatpants that were surprising very comfy, a dark grey v-neck shirt and black flats. I walked out of the shower room to see a woman dressed like she was from WICKED. I gave her a concerned look like she was no good.

"Hello, you must be Forrest. Please follow me" She said walking in front I me. She lead me into a room, this room looked like it was a testing room. It didn't look okay to me. The rest of my friends were already in there. The lady sat me down near some medical equipment. There was a bowl of some clear liquid but it didn't look like water. There was some come cotton balls, teasers and some drugs.

"What's all this?" I asked concerned. This looked unsafe.

"This is just stuff to heal the scars wounds " She said with a smile. I didn't return the smile. Theres just some scars and wounds that can be healed. I just started at the ground a little upset.

"Are you alright Forrest?" She asked. I just gave her a look saying 'yeah, whatever'. During her treatment, a man comes to get my brother. This caught my eye.

"Umm, where is Thomas going?" I asked. She looked up for only a second then went back to work.

"Dunno" Is all she said. Something tells me this place doesn't seem to be trustworthy to me.
