So you're probably wondering who was talking to Newt, aren't you? Find out in this chapter.
Thomas cut Teresa off right after she told him she loved him.
"What happened?" asked Aris. "Did he forgive you?"
"No," said Teresa sadly. "It's all WICKED's fault! Well, I don't want to think about it anymore right now. I'm going to go to sleep."
"Ok, goodnight Teresa."
She sat down on the ground, then rolled over onto the floor of the white room. She rolled over several times, trying to get Thomas out of her mind, until she finally fell asleep.
Aris decided it was time to sleep too, so he rolled over. Finally both of them were asleep.
Thomas sat alone on the floor. He had no one to talk to except Aris, but he was currently asleep. Loneliness was finally beginning to set in. He thought about Teresa. He missed her, he realized, and wanted to trust her again. It was as if he had trust fallen, and she had not caught him. The second time, he wanted to trust her, but his body simply couldn't stand still.
"Would you like to see her?" the voice seemed to come out of nowhere.
Thomas considered the situation. He wanted to trust her again, and he wasn't going to get anywhere by sitting here in loneliness, ignoring her, and knowing WICKED this was the only chance he was going to get. "Yes," he said. A gas seeped into the room, and Thomas fell asleep.
When Aris awoke, he found himself lying in a small space, but with a door in front of him. He opened it and walked in to find Newt and Cindy on the floor kissing fiercely. "Sorry to interrupt, Newt," he said as he walked in.
Newt backed away and looked up, his face red with embarrassment. "Aris, how did you get here?"
"Well, first I was in a white room by myself, then I was with Teresa, then I fell asleep, woke up, came through that door, and now I'm here," he said, deciding to pretend he hadn't seen Newt and Cindy kissing. "So, uh… any idea on how we're getting out of here?"
"No," said Newt. By this time Cindy had gotten off the floor and had walked over to where Newt was standing and taken his hand.
Aris decided to give them space, and announced that he was going to watch the girls before walking through the small doorway and sitting down in a space where he couldn't see them. He was going to watch the girls until one of them woke up…
Now I know what you're all thinking! You're wondering what will happen when Thomas and Teresa meet! Find out in the next chapter!
