We drove through the mountains, the sun still beating down on us."So, what is the safe haven? Where is it?" Thomas asked.
"It's not really a place, it's the group. We're a group of people who have either escaped from WICKD, like you, or have survived cranks and the flare. In basic terms, we're the rebellion against WICKD." Vince nodded.
"Well, we definitely found the right people." Newt chuckled, making Vince smile. I looked out of the window and my eyes widened.
"Oh my god." I whispered as we drove over the mountain to reveal a little village in the valley.
"This is incredible." Frypan scoffed.
"It's taken us three years to get to this point, and we're still going. But we're not one hundred percent safe. In a week, we're leaving for good." Vince nodded.
"Where are we going?" Newt asked.
"Our doctor found this beach, about three days away by ocean. It's in an area untouched by WICKD, and once we're there, WICKD will never be able to find us again." He spoke.
"That sounds perfect." Minho smiled, making us chuckle and nod as Vince pulled into the camp and stopped the car.
"Here we are." He nodded as we climbed out and a woman approached us.
"This is our on-sight doctor, Mary, she's just going to give all of you a quick check-up." Vince spoke. Thomas looked at me and gulped as we walked into a tent.
"If you guys can just sit on a bed each, I'll take some blood from each of you. I need to figure out what's so special about your blood for WICKD to want to kill you over it." Mary chuckled.
"Apparently, my girlfriend and I are the cure." Thomas spoke.
"Well, Thomas, I wish that was true, all of our problems would be solved, and we wouldn't even have to kill you for it." She sighed, gently inserting the needle into his arm and making him hiss slightly.
"How do you know my name?" he asked as the nurse gently inserted a needle into my arm.
"I don't want to worry you, but the names Thomas, Y/N, Newt, Minho and Frypan are practically all that WICKD's messages have contained since you escaped their compound." She admitted. We gulped and looked at each other.
"Is there any way that they can find us?" Newt asked.
"Don't worry, you kids are safe." She reassured before taking the needles out of mine and Thomas's arms.
"Oh my god." She whispered.
"What is it?" Thomas asked. She looked at us as Vince walked into the medical tent.
"Vince, have you seen this?" she scoffed, showing him our blood. His eyes widened and he looked at us.
"Jesus." He mumbled.
"What's wrong?" I asked. Mary looked at Vince before returning her gaze to us.
"WICKD is right. You and Thomas, your blood is the ultimate cure to the flare." She admitted. My eyes widened as I looked at Thomas.
"How do you know?" he gulped.
"You see that layer of blue liquid? Do you see just how blue it is?" she asked, showing us.
"Yeah, what about it?" Thomas asked.
"The bluer the liquid, the more developed it is, the more concentrated. The last vial we saw was just a bit lighter than this, and it cured the person for three months. If I'm correct, one injection of this will permanently cure anyone with the flare." She explained.
"Oh my god." I whispered.
"Do you mind if I keep these samples? I could do so much with this." She chuckled.
"Of course." Thomas nodded before looking at me.
"I guess that we actually are the cure." I chuckled slightly.
"Yeah." He nodded, gulping. Suddenly, we heard screaming. Our eyes widened as we looked at each other and rushed out of the tent.
"What the fuck?!" Newt shouted as three WICKD aircrafts landed in the valley and men ran out of them, shooting guns.
"We need to go, now." Thomas nodded, pushing us away from the tent.
"Thomas, weapons!" I shouted, running towards the weapons tent.
"Grab what you can." Thomas spoke. Each of us grabbed a gun, as well as a few grenades and some ammunition.
"We need to help them, Thomas, we can't let everyone die!" Frypan yelled as we ran through the camp.
"And we're not going to, shoot every guard you see, and shoot to kill." He nodded. We returned it before starting to run. My eyes widened as I heard something soar through the air.
"Thomas-." the grenade landed and blew up, sending us flying back. I groaned and coughed as I landed on the ground, rubble being sprayed around me. I looked up slowly, my ears ringing.
"Y/N?! Y/N!" I looked up and sighed in relief as the guys rushed towards me.
"You okay?" Thomas asked as he helped me up and held my face.
"I'm fine. Let's take those fuckers down." I nodded. He smiled and returned it before pulling me along. We ducked down behind a truck and started to fire, using the truck for cover. I shot my gun, smiling to myself as I hit a guard with each shot. My eyes widened as Mary got hit, making her fall down in front of one of the aircrafts.
"Mary!" I yelled as I got up.
"Y/N, no." Thomas gulped.
"We need to help her." I nodded before running out.
"Y/N!" Thomas yelled. I ignored him as I started to run towards Mary. I choked and stopped in my tracks as I felt something impale my neck. I pulled the vial out of my neck with shaking hands and choked. I looked up at Thomas, making his eyes widen. I stared at him through the chaos as my eyes started to droop. He shook his head and screamed something, but I couldn't hear him as my legs gave way and I fell to the floor before letting my eyes flutter shut.
Thomas's P.O.V
Thomas's eyes widened as a dart soared through the air and hit Y/N in the neck. He gulped as she looked at him. Her eyes started to droop.
"Y/N!" he screamed as she collapsed onto the floor and guards immediately swarmed around her.
"No!" he shouted as he started to sprint towards her.
"Tommy!" his eyes widened as he was grabbed by Newt and Minho.
"Get the fuck off of me, I need to get to her!" he yelled, fighting against their grip.
"WICKD has her now, we can't do anything." Minho spoke.
"We have to, she'll die, they'll kill her!" Thomas continued to fight as tears left his eyes.
"Tommy, we're more use to her out here than captured too. If we're captured too, we can't rescue her." Newt nodded. Thomas slowly stopped fighting as he looked at Newt.
"You promise that we'll rescue her?" he choked.
"She's one of us, we're not leaving her behind." Minho reassured. Thomas sighed and nodded before looking back towards Y/N. He choked as one of the guards had her tossed over his shoulder as he carried her onto the ship.
