The Screamer

Chapter 23: Voices

Thomas's P.O.V.
I ran for hours until finally I reached the room leading outside. It was about midnight before I stared running back to the room. When I got back everyone was asleep. I knew Kara had ordered them to. Thalia and Kelsey had gone back to there rooms because there was no sign of them. I walked over to my bed and laid down taking deep breaths. After a couple minutes I fell asleep.
That night I didn't dream, no memory's came back and I saw happy about that. All the memorys that did, would give my terrible things to think about. The only good memory I ever had, was of Thalia.
I woke up to the sound of people talking. It was weird. It sounded like they were in a different room but ours was soundproof. The only thing that was able to get passed the soundproof walls, was my scream. I opened my eyes and looked around. The lights were still off and everyone was still asleep. I decided to lay down and close my eyes so I could hear what the people were saying. "No!" Someone yelled. "We have to. He's ruining our planes. He convinced Kelsey to go with him for crying out loud! He can kill us. No one else can. Only him. Chris had ordered us to." The person said. I froze. He was talking about me. He was going to kill me.
Hours passed and I finally gave up on sleep. I knew it was about seven or eight so I got up and took a shower. The entire time only one thought filled my mind. The talking I over heard. How could I hear them? Were were they? Was it all just a trick, or a test from the people who put us here? I got out and got dressed. Once I got back to the room I saw everyone was up. Newt had seen me. "Hey. Your back." He said. I nodded and sat down on my bed looking at the floor. "What's wrong?" Minho asked. I looked up and saw everyone staring at me. "Nothing." I mumbled and looked down once more. 'Thomas?' I heard Thalia asked. That's when I felt her walk into the room. I didn't look up. I could hear her walk over to me and drop to my level. 'Thomas, what's wrong? Tell me.' She said in my head. This time I looked at her. Instead of having to repeat my self I talked out loud. "I woke up in the middle of the night to people talking. No one was awake and considering the walls are soundproof, I was kinda freaked out." I told them. "Is that it?" Jay asked sounding bored. I sent him a glare so cold it could freeze fire. He stepped back a tiny bit, I looked at all of the other boys. "No." I said then continued. "I decided to listen to there conversation...." I said but paused. "And?" Minho pushed. "They were talking about me. About killing me. They said I was ruining there planes and....and that I could kill them. Only me." I told them and my gaze fell to the floor. "If that wasn't worse enough they mention Chris." I said and stood up. "Why is that worse?" A random boy asked. "Because, it means that someone here, in the base, works for Chris." I told them. That's when they seemed to understand. "Someone who works for Chris and also has all the information they need to start a war." I concluded.
"What do we do?"
"Can you stop it?"
"We need to tell someone?"
"Are we going to die?"
"Who would do this?"
"What are they?"
The questions rolled in with out warning and soon everyone was asking me questions. Finally I had enough. "SHUT IT!" I yelled. The building only rumbled slightly cause I held back. I didn't want to hurt anyone. They instantly shut up. "Look I know your all scared, but it's nothing to get worked up about, I can handle it, and I won't stop till I do." I told them. "By your self? They have an army, how are you going to take them all down?" Someone asked. My gave wondered to the person. I then closed my eyes and focused on my scream. I opened them back up and a chill went into my eyes. I looked at my arm and saw it was glowing blue. I then looked up at the guy again. "I can handle it." I repeated. He nodded and I made my self go back to normal. "Thomas you can't." I heard Kara's voice say. I looked at the door and saw her standing there. "What are you talking about? Just a couple days ago you were saying how it was my job to save everyone. How it was my responsibility." I told her walking closer. She stepped back and I instantly knew something was up. "What's wrong?" I asked sternly. "There here.....and they want to see you."
