A Berg just touched the ground spreading dusty and freezing air waves, on us, my hair pushed back and I rolled my eyes. Who is this now? Another creator's show?
The doors of the huge helicopter, wide opened and one female figure appeared. Then another one from behind. Isn't she the same girl from the group A? Too many questions in so little time. Great. They are making me throwback the days I used to be the Blondie in the Spring. The woman was elder, with blonde hair, tied in a perfect, low ponytail, her lips were painted bloody red and an imposing white uniform with the acronym "W.I.C.K.E.D", made the whole set to be completed. She clearly was Chancellor Ava Paige. The girl from behind fully showed herself, when Ava wore her a coat, probably to protect her from the heavy cold.
"Teresa..." Thomas whispered, in a stoned expression, "She's one of them."
"What...?!" The Asian called, "From when?" He continued in disguise.
"W-why would you do something like that? We trusted you!" Newt shouted in disgust and she lowered her head.
"We have to find a cure." She simply said, with her eyes glowing with tears, she had been crying? "It is the only way..."
All of us were speechless, while some guards holding scanners, verified our necks. "B10" a soldier called scanning Harriet's neck. "A5." He continued with Newt, "A7," he forced Thomas' head down and then "A2." Now it was my turn, the guard lowered my head down, letting unsecured the rear of my neck, "B6." He completed the first line.
"Well, well, well, Hermione Agnes and... Thomas!" Janson smirked, walking back and forth in front of us. "I missed both of you trouble-kids!" He teased, placing his hand on my chin and then squeezing my cheeks and violently turned it, almost breaking my jawline. Suddenly, I got up, punching him in the face, with all my strength.
"Never. Touch. Me. Again." I hissed and he gave me a murderous glare, with his hand holding his hurt jaw.
"I think that now is a bad time, to show us your unique tendency, of exposing... sass." He said, kneeling me back on the ground, but this time the soldier tied my hands on my back.
The woman stepped out of the Berg with the girl, Teresa, following from behind, I gasp for air as the fire was getting higher, with dense fumes covering the chaotic atmosphere. Everything we built, will be dust by the next morning. Technically, I don't even know if there will be any next mornings. It was clear that W.I.C.K.E.D was living its name.
"Is this all of them?" Ava asked, staring at us.
"We've lost a lot, but, they're enough." Janson answered and she nodded.
"Good." She said, "Load them up." She commanded and guards wrapped our hands, with the force, getting people into the Bergs.
I soldier pushed Aris towards the opening. "ARIS!" I shouted and he disappointed, mumbled something that I couldn't hear. Another one got Sonya and I with my hands tied screamed, "HEY! LEAVE HER ALONE!"
Everything around me felt like collapsing, in front of my eyes. I now had to wait for a guard to get me too, when Thomas revealed something from his jacket. "MINHO!" He yelled at a soldier who wrapped the Asian boy. I moved towards him, in addition to have a clear sight of the object he was holding. It was the same makeshift atomic bomb, that he was about to throw us in the mountains! "EVERYBODY DON'T MOVE!" He screamed, putting his thumb on the red button. "LET THEM GO OR I WILL BLOW UP THE FUCKING PLACE!"
"Thomas, please stop!" Teresa, called and he stopped looking at her. "They promised that all of us will be safe, all of us!"
"What, I'm supposed to trust you know?" He asked sarcastically and her eyes begun to get more watery again.
"You have to understand... We're not monsters, we're doctors," Ava interrupted, "We just need more time!"
"More blood..." another female voice interrupted.
She hesitantly, stepped closer to them and Ava Paige tried to give her a sympathetic smile. "Hello, Mary," "I hoped we could meet again. I'm sorry we had to meet like this."
"I'm sorry about a lot of things... but not─" a loud gunshot cut her in the mid-sentence and my eyes widen. Blood spread all over her stomach and her lefeless body collapsed on the ground. I froze like I had just jumped into a gingatic bucket, filled with a million tones of ice cubes and Antarctic water.
"MARY!" Vince shouted, while kicking a guard away, running at his dead wife. "MARY!" He got her body on his knees, murmuring some 'nos' as he hugged her, for the last time, by her arms. Then he pulled some hairs off her face , caressing her cheeks.
I turned my head at the opposite side, finding out who the cruel murderer was. Janson with his gun still in the air and smoke, with a small evil smile on his face. No words could come up to mouth, the only thing I did is to turn back again, facing Mary, the woman who actually saved us all. She was the only one who was able to make the Serum. I guess that now, none of us had a salvation against the virus.
"Let's go." Ava said, wrapping Teresa's arm, while W.I.C.K.E.D's employees, got on the Bergs the people they had captured until Thomas threatened them with the bomb. That meant, they have Aris and Sonya, also the Minho kid, with them. I stood like an idiot, with my eyes watery, while my wrists were hurting, looking at the helicopters landing off.
That night, all of us had lost our beloved ones, but most importantly our hope.
