CHAPTER 5:

AN: 2 chapters in 2 days! WOW! Thank you all who reviewed last chapter! I love y'all so I just had to write the next chapter. I'm kind of getting into a block with how I want to get to the next plot twist, so it might be a bit slow! SO SORRY! But if you have any suggestions, feel free to review or PM me with your ideas!

Frank was older this time. Maybe 13 and she was with Liz and Dani eating lunch in the WICKED cafeteria.

Dani was talking very adamantly about her calculus teacher and how cruel she was for making 13 year olds do calculus and advanced math. Dani had problems with focusing and WICKED had said she had ADD, which was not surprising. That's why she was so irked by the teachers, because they always punished her for it. Frank was only half listening to the story though because she was worried about Liz.

Ever since Liz was separated from her brother, Newt, she had become depressed. She only talked when addressed to, ate very little, and tended to zone out a lot. Liz lost a lot of weight because of this and her health deteriorated. Frank noticed it was harder for her to complete the 3 miles in gym class every day because she was so weak.

Frank was so worried that her friend would do something irrational. No, Liz couldn't possibly resort to that. Frank remembered that Newt had told her he would come back to find her and protect her. Liz couldn't possibly forget that. She needed to stay strong for Newt's sake; and Frank was going to make sure that reunion happened.

Frank awoke in the middle of the night. She had been getting these dreams every night since she arrived in the Haven. She came to recognize that they weren't dreams, but were in fact, memories.

Frank decided she should just wake up and walk around a bit because there was no use falling back asleep.

She quietly walked over to the Wall of Names. Dani had made Frank carve her name into the wall the first day. Frank smiled at the simplicity of carving a name into the wall, like she really mattered. But ironically she didn't matter because, in reality, she was just a rat in maze.

Frank traced over all the names. Suddenly a light flickered over her shoulder onto the wall, illuminating it. Frank jumped and turned around. It was Liz.

"Oh, hey Liz. What are you doing over here?" Frank asked. Her breathing still heavy from the scare she had earlier.

"I don't know. I had a weird dream and saw you get up, so I just decided to follow you." Liz said with a shrug.

"I had one, too." Frank replied.

"Really? Do you want to talk about it?" Liz asked in a concerned tone.

"I'm just really confused. I've just been getting these dreams lately, and they just seem so real, like…"

"Like memories." Liz finished for her.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Frank asked bewildered that Liz understood.

"I get them, too. Bits and pieces of flashbacks. I remember you, Dani, and a blonde boy." Liz said with a neutral expression.

Liz then continued talking with a disheartened look in her eye. "I remember a school. The word WICKED. And this feeling like I'm missing something, something a part of me."

Frank knew that look all too well. Liz still wasn't over her depression, even though she couldn't really remember why she was depressed. Since she couldn't remember Newt.

"Your brother." Frank answered. "I had a dream with you and Dani and a blonde boy who was your brother. His name was Newt and you were separated when you were 8 and he was around 10."

Liz looked shocked. She also looked so happy. "It seemed you remembered more than I did. Did he say anything?"

"Yes. He promised he would find you and come back to protect you. Most importantly, he told you to stay strong."

"I wish I remembered more of him." Liz said looking sad again. "Frank, do you think I could remember more? Do you think he'll find me?" Liz's lip started quivering as she tried to hold back the tears. She gave up and let them fall.

Frank hugged her and replied. "I'm sure he will. I'll make sure it happens."

Liz replied with a quiet thank you and dried her eyes.

"Laurel will be waking up soon for breakfast. Why don't we go get something to eat and then the Gathering will be called and you can get your job."

Frank nodded and followed Liz to the Kitchen.

After they ate Laurel's delicious meal, they headed to the Gathering where everyone was in attendance.

Dani stepped up on the little platform they had.

"Alright you idiots. As the leader, I call this Gathering to begin. Today's discussion, the Newbie's job. First up, Laurel."

"Sorry Frank, but the Chefs don't want you. No hard feelings but you almost burned down the Kitchen!" Laurel said with a chuckle, in which Frank did too, adding a meek sorry.

"Okay, Slicers. Nat?"

Nat stood up, "Nope. She threw up on me at the sight of blood, so… I think that explains enough."

"Alright, Max and the Builders?

Max stood and laughed, "I know I said I needed one, but I'm pretty sure it would not only put her in danger, but everyone else, too! So, no. Sorry Frank."

"Fair enough. Doctors?

Belle stood up. "She did fine with me. She seemed to know about medicine enough to organize them. So I would accept her."

"Okay we will take that into consideration. Next, Link?"

Link stood and shook his head. "The Newbie did fine as a Recorder, but there isn't much to do, so I don't think I will need a partner."

"That's understandable, thank you. Lastly, Farmers?"

Lacey stood and said, "Well, she is a hard worker and did everything I asked, so I wouldn't mind an extra hand."

"Okay. Is that all?" Dani asked while gazing the room. "Okay then. Liz and I will discuss and pick a job for Frank."

Frank sat in anticipation as she waited the verdict on her job. She really didn't care what she got because she knew she wanted to be a runner.

Dani and Liz turned back around.

Liz started speaking. "Okay, Frankie. Can you please come up here?"

Frank walked to the front and Dani looked at the Keepers.

"Can Belle please come up here." Dani announced. Frank wasn't super excited, but she knew it could have been worse.

Belle walked to the front and shook Frank's hand. "Glad to have a new Doctor. Welcome aboard."
