Coras POV.
Three days had passed since then and we hadnt had any food since we got here, but thinking about it makes it worse. the morning sickness it just water now...since thats all we've had to consume. but lately we all havent even had the energy to move much, i only move to the bathroom to be sick and drink water, but that still takes all of my effort.
Newt and Minho had left the room, thomas was laying in another with a window trying to cool down. Minho was the only one who had energy to check on everyone, i guess that came with running the maze...extra energy.
Newt came back in the room and ruffled my hair before laying beside me holding out an apple. i looked at him and he nodded to it, i reached up and took it from him. he just laid there watching me as i looked at the apple before taking a bite.
Juices flowed through my mouth and my stomach urged for more, eat bite my mouth seemed to explode with tastes. it was excellent, Newt laughed as i just laid there eating the apple letting its juices roll down my cheeks.
Newt reach over and wipped it off, i smiled at him as my thanks before i kept eating. soon enough the apple was finished and my stomach just wanted more. i sat up and looked at Newt, he sat up and moved me onto his lap.
"where'd you get this from?" i smiled at him holding on to his shoulders to steady myself on his lap.
"a bunch of food apeared in the dinning hall. we can go get more if you want" he spoke i smiled and nodded hoping off him and walking to the dinning hall, there was a man there Newt explained to me that there is a barrier around him and he wont speak until its time.
"dont eat to much okay, other wise you'll end up like those boys" he pointed to the boys all around the room who were vomiting, it disugted me so i just grabbed another apple and a banana, taking it back to the room to eat.
i sat there for a while talking to Newt about nothing in particular, we were discussing how the man out there looked and both laughed when we thought he looked like a rat. i was interested in the book he was reading it looked interesting.
"c'mon its time" Newt said as he grabbed my hand and led me out to the floor near the barrier, we all sat there waiting for the Ratman to finally speak...seemed like eternity before he finally set his book down and scooted his chair in.
"You may think, or it may seem, that we’re merely testing your ability to survive. On the surface, the Maze Trial could be mistakenly classified that way. But I assure you—this is not merely about survival and the will to live. That’s only part of this experiment. The bigger picture is something you won’t understand until the very end.
Sun flares have ravaged many parts of the earth. Also, a disease unlike any before known to man has been ravaging the earth’s people—a disease called the Flare. And you’ll have every incentive to work with us, because, sad to say, each one of you has already caught the virus.” we were all taking between us, but thomas just stared at the man.
he went on talking about more crap about the Flare and Cranks...explaining how governments united and bull...i just sat there thinking they wanted us to do more trials didnt they. we were just Subjects to them just what our tattoos said.
"phase two. the scorch trials. it officially begins tomorrow morning at six o'clock. you'll enter this room, and in the wall behind me you will find a Flat trans. each of you must step through it by five minutes after the hour. so again, it opens at six o'clock and closes five minutes after that. do you understand?
everyone burst into their own little chats, some regretting coming...others saying it was going to start all over again...the deaths. i sat there sighing, they are right..WICKED would've stopped already if they had gotten what they wanted in the maze.
the Ratman spoke again causing everyone to shut up in a second, he told us the rules of their new little game, find the way out and survive another test...seems as simple as a giant maze. i stood up and walked away while the Ratman continued to talk.
"Excuse me younge Cora...please return. i am explain something to you, its very rude to leave half way through a conversation." i glared back at the rat man before sitting at one of the tables, all i could think at that moment was 'its rude to keep people as lab rats' but i didnt dare say that out loud.
we have 2 weeks to get to the point 100 miles due north and if we take longer we'll be left. if we stay behind we'll be executed...either way we have to do what they say other wise were going to end up dead.
at this time he scanned the faces in the room that all had finally burst out with questions for the Ratman. i sat there examining his body, he was a twig like man with the face of a Rat...unfortunate, not even a mother could love that.
once the Ratman left Thomas and Minho took charge, everyone grabbed bed sheets and packed the food into them, i went to fill bags up with water and handed them out to the boys. before sitting down on a bed feeling todays toll on my body.
Newt came up to me and kissed my cheek before laying down on the bed, i rested my head on his chest. i looked up to him and he just smiled before setting his watch on to a alarm so we could wake up 2 hours earlier than the time we were supposed to leave.
"Newt....Are you scared about this New trial?" i asked
"if you aint scared...you aint human" Newt said sadly, i nodded and remembered that Alby used to say that, i heard him say it to Thomas once. i shut my eyes for the night and just hoped everything would turn out fine
i hope
