Isabella's POV:

"Hey mommy! What are you doing?"I asked her while putting my shoes on the shoe rack.

I turn around and realise she's crying... really badly.

"Mommy what happened?"I ask her.

I looked down at her hands and realise she's holding three letters from WICKED.

"This morning a man from WICKED came to our house and tested me and daddy... and the school told WICKED you were the smartest among all the 9 year olds so...we're all selected..."she told me.

"Oh."is all I could say.

Well, at least none of my family members will be left alone...

"Mommy when are we leaving?"I ask.

"As soon as daddy comes home."

"Mommy promise me you'll never leave me okay?"

"Okay. I promise. Sweetie I love you."

"I love you too mommy" I say, hugging her.

After hugging her, I immediately ran upstairs to get one last look at my room. Tears streamed down my cheek as I saw a picture of me as a baby. I lay on my bed, sobbing, the entire afternoon.

At night, my mother invited some of her friends to come before they left for the maze. Too bad dad wasn't there...

"Good luck in the maze"Brenda said to me.

I replied"Thanks".

I took out my phone and texted all my friends 'Goodbye...I'm going to the trials. I love ya. Remember that.'

The replies were:

Breanna- I LOVE YA TOO!AND IM GONNA KILL THAT WICKED FOREVER! BFFs forever:)

Hanna- WAIT YOU'RE GOING TO THE TRIALS YAY I AM GOING TOO OMGOMG SEE YA THERE!I'm going

to WICKED tomorrow

Mackenzie- Hate WICKED. Love you too:( try to survive k?

My face lit up when I saw that Hanna was going to the trials too. But I was still very sadbecause I was leaving the other two behind.

Just then, Brenda's phone beeped. Her face fell as she read the message. "Oh no! I made it in."

"Hi Teresa I'm home!"Dad said as he opened the door.

"Tom!"Mom said as she ran towards him.

Dad pulled mom towards him and their lips touched. They were kissing.

Gross. I stared at them with my eyes wide open until Brenda covered my eyes and said"Don't look!"

"I already saw it..."

Teresa's POV:

"I love you Teresa"Thomas said as he pulled away. I put my head into Thomas' chest and sobbed into it. A few minutes later, Isabella came to me and hugged me. I kissed her on the forehead and so did Thomas.

We shared a group until it was broken, when someone barged in, Newt and Minho walked in.

"We got chosen..."

"Yup we did too..."We replied in unison.

A long silence followed after that.

*****

Isabella's POV

"Well, at least we will be together." I said, trying to cheer up the mood.But it did not work...

Why did WICKED have to be so cruel? Why us? Why can't they be the one dying? Millions of thoughts rushed in my mind at once.

What will happen? Will we die? I looked at my parents and their friends, oh boy we will be spending loads of time together...
