(Y/N) POV

Thomas had just turned and he began to explain,

"We never escaped! Not really..."

"What are you talking about?"

I asked frustrated,

"Its WICKED! Those people they- they weren't who we thought they were. Ava Paige? The director of WICKED? We saw her. Talking with Janson. Aris and I."

Frypan stepped forward,

"When was this?"

"When we left the room through the vent. Behind those doors? We found... bodies..."

"Dead ones?"

Winston asked, Aris shook his head,

Thomas sighed and said,

"No- no not dead but- not alive either. It's like they were being harvested. Those kids that left for 'paradise'? They never left the building. Its them. And that's where they were going to take (Y/N) when we found her."

Thomas gestured to me...

"...ok so no going back..."

I said with a shuddered, to think I almost died. Well kinda...

"Alright. So what's the plan?"

Newt asked with his hands on his hips.

Thomas looked worridly to Aris then back to Newt and the group,

"Well you must have a plan! Tommy we followed you all the way out here and now your saying you dont have a plan?"

Newt sighed, getting more frustrated.

I gently lay my hand on his shoulder,

"Wait. Janson mentioned something... about a group of rebels fighting against WICKED in the mountains."

Aris piped up, Thomas nodded,

"Yeah the Right Arm..."

Thomas added,

"People? In the mountains? Mountain people? That's your plan?"

Newt asked Thomas,

"Newt look we cant go back. And these guys they-they might be able to save us."

Newt backed down after glancing at me then back to Thomas.

I think he was still shaken up about me almost being harvested.

"So let's gather some supplies here and then regroup, after that we can get moving towards the mountains. We'll move in pairs. Minho you're with me. Newt and Fry, Winston and Aris and then Teresa and (Y/N), we meet back here."

We all nodded and Newt gave me a kiss on the cheek before we all walked around.

I followed Teresa into a room with a bed and shelves of clothes.

Newt and Fry where in the room beside us.

Teresa jumped at something,

"You alright?"

I asked flashing my light towards her,

"...fine."

She said.

We began to gather clothing items.

I turned my back on Teresa as I pulled on a camo green jacket.

I tried to take off my shorts without Teresa, Fry or Newt glancing my way.

I even turned off my light,
