| Ceylon |
There was an awkward atmosphere hanging around the hallways, I wasn't sure if it was because Minho called me his Ceylon or because he saw Newt kissing me. Of course that was the last thing he was expecting to happen.
Neither did I, I was not expecting Newt to kiss me either. But it's not that I minded.
By now we were roaming around the hallway, I was walking in the front with Minho behind me and Newt all the way in the back. I can't sense that Newt was not all that happy about having to walk in the back, but he decided not to complain about it.
Suddenly I notice a heavy metal door, on the door there's a sign saying 'record room', we found it a little too easily but I wasn't going to complain about it. "Guys" I whisper, pointing at the door on my left, "we found it".
Minho lowers his gun as he stares at the door, "we found it a little too easily, don't you think?".
I nod, "but I'm not complaining, I'm not willing to waste a lot of time on this".
The guys are silently agreeing with me.
I try to twist the doorknob but nothing happens, it seems that it's still locked. I let out a frustrated sigh, why weren't things going as planned for just once. Just once, that's all I'm asking for.
When I try to tell the guys it's not opening, I see the determined facial expression of Minho.
"Watch out sis" Minho says.
I take a few steps back as I watch Minho walking backwards, he lets out a huff before running towards the door, right before he can hit it with his shoulder, he sticks out his foot. Kicking the door with all his might.
He falls on his side as he looks up, "well did it work" Minho asks.
I raise my eyebrows as I offer my hand to him- which he gladly accepts before I pull him up.
"Well I guess I have to start running again after this is over" Newt suddenly says as he tries to open the door, much to our surprise Minho's action actually worked.
Even Minho seemed to be confused about it, but his confusion is quickly replaced with a smug smirk on his face. He seemed to be really proud of what he had done.
"I know it would work" Minho said with a smile.
We was about to walk inside the room until Newt suddenly shoved him aside, raising his gun. Two deafening shots were heard as I looked at the direction Newt was shooting at.
Laying on the floor was a guard, his gun must have slipped out of his hand and slid farther away from the man. Without second guessing it, I took the gun from the floor and stuffed it in my boot.
"Newt you just saved".
My brother seemed to be confused about what the younger boy had done for him, Newt on the other hand was frowning. "Of course I did shank, we're still friends".
With those words Newt walking into the record room, leaving Minho and me behind in the hallway. I simply shrug at my brother before following Newt inside the room.
Inside there were some TL lights malfunctioning, the lights were turning off after a while and then came back after a second. There were cabinets were placed against the walls, unless the walls are actually the cabinets.
I saw Newt rummaging through the drawers of a cabinet, "Cey, you're from Group D right" he asks.
"I think I am" I tell him as I make my over towards him.
"Found it" he replies as he takes out a thick file named 'Ceylon', "Cheonsa Hong, younger sister of Yoonsan. Immune" he reads out before looking up at Minho. "There's a picture here of the two of you" Newt tells us before handing over an old looking picture.
We look about five years old, it was just Minho and I sitting on a boulder while smiling happily. How I wish I could remember this moment.
"Five seconds after taking this pictures you fell backwards into a bush" Minho says while grinning, "you were so shocked that you didn't even cry".
I chuckle as I put the picture inside my jacket, "are there more Newt".
He nods as he hands over three more, "let's see, Group A" he says as he closes the cabinet, looking through a different one. "Found it. Hong Yoonsan, brother of Cheonsa, immune. Min here".
Minho extends his hand to Newt who hands over some pictures, they look the same as mine. It makes me smile that I have at least this memory of my youth, even though I don't remember any of it. It feels as proof that I have been a child.
"Let's see, I'm immune" Newt says, dropping the file in shock, "but, but then everything has been a lie" he whispers.
I have never seen Newt like this, not that I've known him for so long.
It hurts to see him like this, so I walk towards him to pull him into a hug. He places his forehead on my shoulder, mumbling how everything he believed was real is a lie.
Minho on the other hand picks up the file, "wow Newt your real name is-".
"I don't want to know" Newt says softly, "that name means nothing to me if I can't remember my life living it under that name".
I softly rub his back, since I feel that he's hurting. Not that I know why.
"You have a sister named Elizabeth" Minho tells him before putting back the file in the cabinet.
But Newt doesn't respond, I really want to know what's going through his head right now. Why he was acting so shocked about being immune was an mystery for me.
"Look we should look around for other survivors, it's not safe for us to stay in here for too long".
I felt bad for the others that we didn't have enough time to look for their files, but maybe it was a good thing. We could start our lives with a new start.
I squeeze his hand softly as I urge him to follow me.
Without looking back we leave the room, also the place that hold all our memories.
