The Scorch Trials: The Untold Story (sequel to The Maze Runner: The Untold Story) is up and ready to be read and reviewed! Thank you all so much for waiting so long, this took quite some time for me.
Flashback...
"We'll be alright," he said to her quietly and the young girl smiled at him.
"You'll be alright. I'm not so sure about me," she whispered and the boy shook his head quickly.
"I won't let them hurt you, I promise. I'll protect you," he said and the girl smiled brightly.
"You're silly. You shouldn't make promises you can't keep."
End Flashback.
"Thomas!" Minho called to him and his eyes snapped open.
"Come on we have to go!" he yelled helping Thomas up and out of the helicopter.
They caught up to the group already running, following the soldiers to a base. The group heard growling and suddenly gunfire broke out startling them. They made it into the base and watched the doors close behind them.
Silence.
"Welcome," Mr. Jansen said kindly as he walked up to the group.
"You are some of the lucky ones. We got to you before W.C.K.D did. You're safe now," he said and they stared at him.
"What were those screams outside?" Kiera asked and Mr. Jansen looked at her.
"There are many dangerous things out in the Scorch. But we'll discuss that later. Let's do something about that smell, shall we?" he mused and motioned for them to follow him.
They came to a line of showers and stopped. The boys looked more than happy to see actual showers. Kiera watched as two men walked up to Jansen.
"I'll need you two to follow these men," Jansen said and Kiera tensed.
Silence.
Teresa turned to her.
"It's okay. We'll be together," she comforted and Kiera turned to the others, who waited.
"Alright," she whispered and followed the men out with Teresa.
In the Showers...
Kiera scrubbed at every inch of her skin until it was raw. Then she sunk down to the tiled floor and covered her face as tears filled her eyes, blurring her vision. She finally had a moment of vulnerability as Chuck and Alby came to her mind. Gally and the others also entered her head and she cried harder muffling her sobs as best she could. She stood for a moment longer before forcing herself to her feet and wiping her eyes dry. She finished her shower and dressed in the clothes they provided for her; a white t-shirt, green cargo pants, and black boots. She brushed her hair, untangling the knots carefully, and tied it back messily. She walked out and was met by the two men from earlier.
"Where's Teresa?" she asked.
"She's in the medical examination room with the others. Come with us and we'll take you there," they said and turned.
She followed cautiously behind them and walked into a stark white room. She let out a breath of relief seeing her group. She walked up to Newt, who was about to receive an injection.
"What's in that?" Kiera asked and the nurse looked at her and smiled.
"You all need vaccinations due to being out in the maze for so long. We're just updating you," she said kindly.
Newt smiled lightly at her concern.
"This way Kiera; it's your turn," another nurse spoke and Kiera turned to her.
"We're just going to take some blood," the nurse tried and Kiera looked at Thomas, whose blood was also being taken.
Silence.
She slowly walked over to the nurse and sat down, allowing them to take her blood. Jansen walked in then and smiled at the group.
"Thomas, please come with me for a moment," he said and Kiera eyed the older man curiously.
She didn't know how to feel about him yet. She watched Thomas walk off with him and then turned to the nurse.
"Sure you have enough there?" she asked sarcastically and the nurse chuckled as she left.
Kiera stood up and headed for the door when it was blocked by guards.
"Where did they take Thomas?" she asked and they didn't answer.
"Kiera, we have a few more tests to run, why don't you come on back?" a nurse asked and Kiera reluctantly returned to her chair.
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. More to come! Please review!
