I thought I had seen everything. That was until I saw Jessica crying on the shoulder of a very conflicted Ceylon.

From what I have figured out, Jessica tripped and got saved by Ceylon. What are the odds.

Beside them stood a very awkward Newt. He was the one who hugged Ceylon very tight just a second ago before Jessica pitched in.

But I think I was the only one to see. Maybe Jessica aswell but she was- is to busy crying her eyes out. What is her deal anyway it's not like we haven't faced death before or saved one another.

Thomas comes.to stand next to me his arm.lingering on my back before he moves away again. I don't know why but the action made me blush. Somehow even a simple touch from him could make me feel save.

He clears his throat to save Ceylon from this awkward situation.

"Right. Now that we all know Ceylon is a saviour can we please get going?" He asked. But he didn't even wait for any response as he just started walking again. He tugged at my wrist silently asking to follow him without people seeing it. With a small smile I follow him as I see thst the rest are following him as well.

"You ok?" He asks when we are out earshot.

"Yeah fine. Just not a big fan of small spaces"

He chuckles softly while softly pushing my shoulder.

"Not entirely what I meant. It took awhile before you responded" he says looking at me, worry all ocer his face.

"We must have passed out when the some rocks hit us and the fact I jumped on Ceylon landing us both hard on the ground" I say lightly not wanting to worry him any further. We might have escaped death a few times todsy but I'm fine. Not even a headache, sore yes but not pain.

He nods but he doesn't seem entirely convinced but I'm glad he lets it go.
I have to admit that it feels kinda nice thst someone is worried about your well being.

"I think we have to sleep in the open tonight" he says changing the subject. He looks around towards the buildings with a frown on his face. I follow his gaze and have to admit that every building looks like it's about to collapse.

"No complaints here. I love open spaces"

At this he had to laugh atracking the attention of the others.

"What is so funny?" Newt asks with an raised eyebrow. Like it was.some miracle Thomas had laughed.

"No idea. Sun must be getting to him" I joke. Thomas pushes me again muttering something under his breath.

"Anyway" Thomas starts giving me a look "we should camp outside no building is safe enough" he explains.

Jessica is about to protest but decides against it. It is not like her but I guess this near death expiernce got to her.

After a few miles we find a good spot to stay for the night. It's a bit higher ground so we can see things coming from every direction. There are.some fallen beams as well we can use to lie against to shelter us from the wind and cold.

Thomas and Newt both volunteered to take first watch. And since they couldn't really decide they just kept watch together. I suspect they just wanted to have some bro time. Or whatever the term men use.

I just used the darkness to hide behind a big fallen pillar. I still have sand everywhere thanks to jessica and it really starts to irritate me. I whis I had thought of it when I was stuck under a building with Ceylon. She would just have turned around. But no I can't be that smart. and now here I am in my bra-pants I have already done, most dangerous thing first. I shake my shirt until I hear a soft gasp. Without thinking I turn around and see Thomas standing there staring at me.

"I am so sorry! I heard weird noises so I went to check" he says looking away from me. It takes me a second to understand why. Shit! I am in my bra.
Turning bright red I put my shirt back on.

"Eh just wanting to get the sand out of my clothes" I mutter embarrassed before wanting to walk away but because I didn't look where I was going I bump right into him.

I look up into his brown eyes and once again he has me trapped. Just like the time when he comforted me.

"What would've happened if Frypan didn't" more he didn't dare to say, his voice sounded hoarse.

"Let's find out" I say suddenly feeling confident. His eyes go from my eyes to my lips and then back to my eyes.

"Rhain" he whispers coming closer to me. His eyes drating over my face silently asking for permission.

"Kiss me" I tell him and he does. We kiss like crazy almost like our lives depend on it. His tongue slips inside my mouth, gentle but demanding, and it's nothing like I ever experienced.

My fingers grip his hair pulling him closer to me. He lets out a low moan as he pushes me against the wall his hands geipping my waist tight.

We break apart when we are in need for air. He rests his forehead against mine while we are both panting. A smile on his lips.

Then suddenly all hell seems to break loose. Flashlights everywhere and incoherent shouting, a helicopter above our heads

Aris comes running towards us "WCKD!" he shouts.

Thomas shoves both me and Aris against the wall and orders us to stay here while he goes back out there. I want to follow him but Aris quickly grabs me by wrapping his arms around my waist. I struggle but he is stronger and taller then me.

"He will come back" he whispers but I still struggle a bit though not as much.  I know he will come back with the others.

We look up and see that both Jess and Newt has joined us. Frantically I look for more, where is Ceylon and Aaliya? I look at Newt and before he can say anything shots are fired followed by a scream. Jessica and Newt both crawl towards us. But I only think about that scream belonging to Aailya.

I look over the wall just in time to see her fall down to the ground. It's to dark and chaotic to see more especially when there are a few people holding you back.

Thomas and Frypan manages to get away from a few men. Or so I thought. Thomas get knocked to the ground while Frypan manages to get away.

"Thomas" I yell and get out of Aris his grip but Newt is the one to stop me and hold me down to the ground. Only thing I had still time to see was Thomas getting manhandled towards the helicopter.

And then it also hits me.

Where is Ceylon?
