Scott's PoV

"Oh my god!" I hear Deaton murmur under his breath, "this can't be real!"

"What is it? What does WICKED stand for?" I ask while fearing the worst.

"It stands for World In Catastrophe, Killzone Experiment Department," Chris says loud enough for all of us to hear. He slowly picks up my phone and stairs at the photo for a few seconds until putting it back down again. "If you ever want to see Stiles again then you will have to take me to where this is."

"Wait, do you know something?" Malia asks while pushing me out of the way quickly.

"There was this old story that hunters would tell to their children about a felicity where scientists investigated the supernatural. Apparently they would take teens who have had contact with the supernatural and they put them through trials to try and find hunters who are the best of the best. But that is just a legend... well at least I thought it was until now," he explains. I see Malia go a bit pale in the face along with a few others including me.
"But what I don't understand is how did you know about it Deaton?" Chris asks while turning around and looking at Deaton.

"I met a group of hunters years ago and they told me about a place called WICKED so I looked into it," he replies while looking through his book again.

"Wait, do you know who the hunters were?" Chris asks sounding urgent.

"Emm, let me think, who was it?" Deaton murmurs quietly to him self, "ah, I remember now! They called them selfs the Right Arm!" Suddenly Chris goes pale and looks scared, nervous and confused all at the same time.

"What is it?" Hayden asks nervously obviously picking up on his anxiety.

"According to the legend the Right Arm were a group of hunters who set off to stop WICKED, but they were ruthless and they would go by their own code, 'We kill everyone and everything that stands in our way'," Chris explains looking even more paler.

"Chris, you have to tell us how to find WICKED," Malia says while we all nod quickly in agreement.

"Ok, but no one can know that I've told you, ok? No one! And after I tell you this you have to take me to the carving on that photo!" He says while coming closer to us. We all huddle around the operation table and the book as Chris starts to speak.

Stiles/Thomas' PoV

I sit down at a table with Minho, Newt, Alby, Winston and Frypan.
As they talk I just stair at them not being able to believe that they're alive.

"Earth to Thomas," I hear someone say while snapping their fingers in front of my face.
When I snap out of my daze I see Minho smirking.

"What?" I ask pretending to be annoyed with him.

"I can't believe you just blank out when we finally relies that our friend aren't dead," he explains in a dumb tone.
Suddenly I snap my attention back to my supposedly dead friends.

"How are you all alive?" I ask curiously, "we were told that you were all dead."

"Believe it or not Thomas but WICKED lie (note the sarcasm), actually they got everyone here into groups of three and told us all that they had killed everyone," Winston says while leaning forward.

We just sit there and talk for a while when finally we see food coming out. Lots of WICKED workers are bringing in food on plates.
I think for a while about attacking one of them when they get nearer me when suddenly a boy from another table gets up and punches one of the workers. But instead of the punch hitting the person his hand hits an invisible glass wall.

I remember back to when we had just gotten out of the maze and Ratman had appeared reading a book behind an invisible glass wall. I suddenly shudder at the thought of Ratman.

The boy stumbles back looking shocked. His fists bleeding.

As if nothing happened the workers place the food onto the tables that we are sitting at and walk away.
As I look down I see giant pizzas all round the tables. We all quickly go in to grab slices and before we know it, it's all gone.

As soon as all of the tables have finished their food a mysterious voice appears.
I quickly look round and see Ratman standing at the door looking as smug as ever.

"I see you have all been reunited once again," he starts off by saying, I hear a few shouts around the room saying things like. 'I'm gonna kill you in your sleep old man' and 'burn in hell' but he just ignores it.

"Anyway as I was saying I see that you have all been reunited once again and don't worry we're not going to put you through anymore trials, at least not for now," he mumbles quietly at the end. As he turns around to leave the room he quickly looks over his shoulder and adds in, "Don't even think of attacking any of us, because as one of you found out, the consequences aren't very nice."

We all sit in silence until a random worker comes in and tells us all that it's time to go to our rooms. She then tells us that people will shout out our names and they will take us to our rooms.

"James, Winston and Zart," are the first people she calls out. I watch as Winston gets up from our table and walk away.

........................................

A couple of people have been called out including Alby and Frypan.
Then suddenly I hear, "Minho, Newt and Thomas," we all stand up and walk towards the door as one of the workers leads us to our room.

Scott's PoV

Chris leans in to start talking when I start to feel dizzy. I also start to smell something weird.
So does everyone else because they are all stumbling around the room and sniffing the air.

"What's happening?" Isaac asks sounding worried.

"It's poisonous gas!" I hear Deaton shout over the sudden ringing in my ears. He then says something else but I can't hear him as I collapse onto the floor. Darkness suddenly covering my vision.
