Taylor In The Scorch Trials

Chapter 3- First Night In The Scorch

Taylor's POV

We were all running in what looked like a desert. We were hiding from the guards that were searching for us. Teresa and I were ahead of all the boys, only because they kept falling over. We then ran up to something that looked like windows, and one was smashed, so we entered.

It was completely dark, but safe from the sand storm, out side. I was the first to enter, then Teresa, Minho, Fry, Aris, then all the others at once. As the others were coming down, Minho and I looked threw the bags we brought with us, and found torches. We shined them around, till Minho broke the silence.

"Where the hell are we?" He said.

"We gotta go." Thomas said, still pacing.

"Thomas no! Stop!!! Tell me what's going on." Teresa said, making him stop.

"Yea, no ones making much sense. No ones telling Teresa and I what's going on, and to tell the truth, it's scaring me." I said, now standing next to Teresa.

"It's WICKED." Thomas replied. "It's WICKED. They lied to us. We never escaped." He continued.

He then started to say that Aris and himself, found bodies, too many to count. Minho had to make me want to cry, by asking if they were dead, but I did start crying, when Thomas said that they weren't dead, but there weren't alive either. He then started to say that WICKED wanted something that's in our blood, and that we needed to stay away as far as possible.

I then started to get really scared, cause Newt asked Thomas what the plan was, and he didn't have one. Great. But, good thing Aris said something about a kind of Army working agents WICKED. Okay, I have to admit I'm really liking this kid. We then made our plan, to find them. I was starting to get exited, but that changed into fear, when Winston found footprints, going in different directions.

-time skip-

We've only been here for about ten minutes. We were looking around till Minho looked into this area, and told us to enter it, so we did. There was tons of things here. Clothes, working torches, water tanks, beds, other bits of furniture and tools. We ended up looking threw the clothes to see what we might needed, and also a few other thing.

Right now I was going threw the clothes cause at the moment, I was sort of wearing a dress. And I really didn't like it, probably just because I'm surrounded by boys. As I was looking I found some really good clothes. I found some long skinny jeans, a singlet that shows the stomach and a hooded jacket. The bonus, I found combat shoes in my size, that go just below the knees.

Teresa even found a few clothes to her liking, and we both started to get dressed. But as I was getting dressed, I felt like we were being watched. When I looked over at the boys, I seen Fry looking. Good thing Newt stopped him. I really like Newt, his like another brother to me. Teresa was like the sister I never had, and the other guys where very close friends. Excluding Thomas and Minho, cause Thomas is my biological brother and Minho is my boyfriend.

As soon as I gust put my boots on, Teresa found a photo of a little girl squeezing the light of a huge teddy bear. While I found a cute little doll. As I put the doll in my bag, all the lights turned on. At first it made me jump, because before they turned on it made a strange buzzing sound. Not long after, I hear screaming and screeches.

We all started to walk out to a massive hallway, where we met Winston and a dude I wasn't so formula with. We stood there for a few seconds till I head yelling. I looked behind me and seen Thomas and Minho running right at us. They where yelling at us to run. I was confused, but when I head a formula screech and things that looked like people running after them, I knew why. They where the things WICKED called Cranks, the ones they shoot at one we thought they saved us.

Newt let out one word, shit. As we all put our bags on properly, and with that, started running. The guys yelled out, asking what the hell that were, Thomas answered with a I don't know, but I answered.

"Their Cranks, I heard WICKED call them that when they brought us out of the helicopter!!" I yelled.

When we ran up the escalator, and turned around a corner, a Crank was right there. Aris went up to it, a bat in hand and waked it in the leg, hard. When it slid close to me, I was about to stab it in the head, with the sharp end of a metal pole I picked up, but was stopped when the Cranks caught up to us. Grate.

We then started to run again, but we were split up. Thomas and Teresa and me with the guys. They only had about two after them, while we had all the rest, which was way over fifty. We were running, till a Crank jumped threw a glass window, and onto Newt. Minho screamed his name twice, the others stood still, but I actually did something. I used the pole, and waked it against the head, making it fall of him, and over the ledge of the second, third floor.

As it went flying, Thomas and Teresa caught up to us. We ran threw a very narrow, hallway, up to a door, but it was locked and the Cranks were closing in on us, fast. So we kept running till we reached a dead end. There was a door, but it was locked on the other side. The guys were trying to kick it down, while Winston used a gun and shot at the Cranks, slowing them down a bit. As soon as they were close, we ran threw the door, but they grabbed Winston.

Thomas and I cried his name, as he cried for help. Minho tried to keep the door close, but open enough so Thomas and I could pull him threw. It was bad, cause they had a good grip on him and their nails were digging deep into his skin. When we got him out, Thomas, Minho and I, where holding the door back, while we told the others to run.

We staid there, till they were a good distance away. Thomas told Minho to run, and to take me, so Minho grabbed my hand and we started to run. A few seconds later, Thomas was following behind us. We ran and we ran, till we hid under some broken concrete, bundled up together.

I heard the Cranks screams right above us. I wanted to cry so badly, but I knew if I made a sound, they'd find us, and kill us. Teresa was there hugging me, trying to help me calm down, while the guys were trying to stop Winston from crying in pain.
