We all packed up our items, and occasionally, Minho did check up on me.

I looked out the little rectangular window that they had at the door, and saw, what I counted, 12 Gurads, storming to some way.

I held the door with my back, duck down and ordered everyone to hide as well.

We heard the footsteps descend, then stop completely.

"I'll go check" Thomas said.

What the actual HELL are you thinking Thomas?

He began walking towards the door to take my place, but I stopped him, just as soon as I heard the footsteps rush back.

"There's literally no way out" Brenda spoke "A dead end on the left, and if we go right... We're back at where we started"

"She's right" I said

"There's gotta be SOME way" Said Newt

"Yeah, let's try the vents" Jokingly suggested Minho, but the others didn't get it.

"Oh, 'cuz that'll be sooo smart" Thomas exaggerated.

"With these weapons" Brenda talked about the guns, and knives we had with us. Also, the amount of crap (for survival) we had in out backpacks, could definitely give us away. "And this weight" she continued, "and this many people, we'll get caught too easily"

"I was kidding" Minho spoke up.

"So what do we do?" Thomas asked.

Again, everybody looked at me.

"Why does everyone look at me? I have nothing. Ask our leader over there" I said, and nodded my head at Minho.

"And why is he the leader?" Asked Brenda.

Minho turned around, and showed the tattoo he had on his neck.

"The Leader"

Brenda wanted to see the rest of our tattoos.

Newt: "The Glue"

Thomas: "To be killed by group B"

To be honest, I wasn't really surprised they'd write that on him. Just to get him scared obviously. With out group, ain't nobody dying.

Mine:

Hold up.

Why the hell did mine say?

I NEVER had a tattoo! I would've noticed, or Minho, or anyone really!

"Mel, what the hell! They got you one!" Newt shrieked.

I didn't have it at the scorch or glade like the others. Honestly, I have no clue why, but they must've done this one while I was sleeping or something... But wouldn't I have woken up? Who knows...

"WHAT?!" I yelled.

"Quiet!" Minho commanded, "Princess, turn around"

I did what he told me, and saw Thomas, Newt, Brenda, and him hover over me to take a look.

"What does it say?!" I asked in complete panic.

None of them answered.

"Well?! What does it say!"

Nothing.

"Somebody read it aloud or else I will—"

"OKAY!" Thomas shrieked, "Its says 'the sprinters—"

"THE SPRINTERS ALLY" Brenda interrupted, and I heard Minhos sigh of relief.

"What? Thats not—" Newt spoke
