Welcome to the Scorch

Something More?

We were led to a clean white room with other people in white lab coats walking about with syringes and clipboards, like we'd just walked in on an experiment. 

We were collected by one or two lab coats each and lead to different sections. I was sat down on a comfy bed with a plastic sheet over it, probably so it was easy to clean, then the lab coat that had taken me away from my friends asked me to lift my hair to the side and look down I felt something hover above me and then a beep sounded and I felt a shiver down my spine, I thought nothing of it and put my hair back where it was.

I was patched up in places, one of the cuts on my arm needed those sticky stitches and I was given a tablet that supposedly had the nutrients I was lacking while being in the glade.

I was told to sit and wait while my friends were being looked after so I simply sat and waited. After a few minutes I was getting bored and started to look around at the desk by the side of me when something clicked on and I saw a picture of me and next to it it said, "Property of WICKED" then underneath that it said "Group A, Subject A12" and then underneath that it said, "Beautiful" I didn't understand it. That's what Gally called me. My eyes stung and my head begun to hurt, I clicked a blue word that said, "Significant other" and up popped a picture of Gally, before I could see anything more it all went black and white and in big red bold words it read "DECEASED" I closed my eyes as I remembered the spear sticking out from his chest.

I knew instantaneously that there was more going on here than there seemed to be and I was going to keep looking in this thing until I found answers but just as I clicked onto "The one to be killed by Group B" someone walked in and I flung myself back onto the plastic bed.

"What were you doing?" The lab coat asked me.

I simply shrugged and glanced over at the tablet, a picture of Thomas was on screen, I couldn't quite make it out but I thought I saw the word "Wanted" in the upper left corner. Why would Tommy be wanted? The lab coat followed my line of sight and clicked off the screen. 

"You're friends are finished." The lab coat said and he opened the curtain for me to walk out. I saw Minho being detached from some running thing and then I felt someone beside me. Newt.

"You okay?" It felt good every time I heard his voice, he was such a good friend. 

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just I saw something back there, I don't know what it means" Newt furrowed his eyebrows and placed his arm round my waist.

"Tell me about it later okay" Then he placed a small friendly peck on my cheek and caught up with Thomas and the others. I stopped and looked back, realised that Minho was alone and walking up to the rest of us. I stayed where I was and waited for him to reach me.

"Thanks (y/n)" Minho said as he caught up to me. 

"You're welcome" I said as I continued to walk on.

DECEASED It just popped up in my mind, reminding me of how the one I loved was truly gone and that I'd never see him again, that it was on records now, that.. Wait? How did they even know Gally existed? They weren't watching us? In the glade? Were they? 

"Hey, (y/n), what's going on in that brain of yours?" I heard Minho say from beside me, I thought about telling him then I remembered how the lab coat acted when all I did was look in the direction of the tablet. I looked around at the room and noticed multiple cameras. 

"I'll let you know in a bit, I wanna talk it through with Newt in a bit."

"Talk what through?"

"I saw something back there on one of their tablet thingys, I don't know what to think about it"

Minho simply nodded and patted me on the back as we caught up with the rest of the group, again we were led somewhere without much being said and we were shown a room with multiple bunk beds. 

"I call top bunk" I looked at Minho and he looked at me then he smiled cheekily, I started to climb up one of the ladders when Minho was sat there already. "How did you?" I asked laughing a little. 

Minho smugly smiled to himself and shrugged his shoulders. "Guess you were just too slow"

I scrunched my smile and shoved Minho a bit then clambered across to the next one and smiled at him sarcastically. "I'll just have this one then" Minho laughed to himself.

"Alright, I mean we could have shared buttt.." I saw Frypan punch Minho in the arm, "Ow! What?"

Frypan glared at Minho and then said through gritted teeth. "She just lost her soul mate, do you seriously think you should start hitting on her already?"

I just thanked Frypan with my eyes and then lay down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, and swallowed the awkward lump in my stomach and I felt my eyes start to drift. I felt a finger jab me in the arm and I looked over the bed, it was Newt.

"You wanna talk now?" I shook my head.

"I'll tell you in the morning, I need some rest." Newt nodded and stood on the bunk below so he could reach me and he kissed my cheek again.

"Goodnight everyone" I heard Winston say.

"Goodnight"
