Touch Of Memory

Chapter XXV

Minho was already eating breakfast.

'How's your arm?' Newt asked.

'It's fine. Hurry up, the doors will open soon,' he replied, a bit colder than usual.

Frypan had left us some peanut butter jelly sandwiches and an apple each. This time, we got to prepare our food. I noticed how the containers they had were the same as ours. 'W.I.C.K.E.D.' was written on them. World In Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department. We had panels with this written on them throughout the maze. I hadn't seen any of them here. Somehow that information made me restless.

I made myself a ham and cheese sandwich and took fruit and some water. Newt came very close to me and handed me something. I realized it was a dagger.

'It's special. I want you to have it.'

At first, I didn't see what made it so important. Then I realized it had an M on one side, and an N on the other. I knew Minho was there, but I kissed Newt anyway.

'Thanks' I whispered in his ear.

I think Minho didn't even notice. He looked different. Something was definitely going on.

The Doors began to open and Alby was nowhere to be seen, so we left. After a couple of minutes walking, Minho stopped.

'Are you okay?'

'Not really, I don't know why.' He looked tired.

'Maybe you inhaled some smoke yesterday,' I suggested.

'Minho, I know you. And I know that there's something on your mind. So I hope that you shuck face will tell me.'

'I've been thinking. The fire didn't seem natural. I didn't sleep. I think whoever put us here set the fire'

'As soon as we get out of here, we'll get answers. Now we need to find a way out. That's our mission'

'I know that, Newt' Minho seemed annoyed.

We didn't speak.

After a few hours, we reached a dead end.

(Almost at 3k, thanks everyone!)
