Amanda's P.O.V.
I have a strange feeling that we are all going to die in the world's most painful way. Wait a second, I can reverse the effects of death. I'm stupid. Anyway back to what's happening around me. I'm running for my life away from cranks.
" What the hell are those things." Minho yells as we run like crazy.
" Trust me you don't want to know." I say as we pass something that looks familiar from the last time I was in the scorch. It was the shopping mall. Oh no, that means there are going to be a lot more cranks hiding out.
" Guys follow me." I yell as I run to this one store and swing myself over the ledge into the store and everyone else follows my lead and jump in right behind me. We all sit in the darkness waiting for some sign that it was safe to come out. I can hear a herd of footsteps coming toward us. I went to put my hand on the ground, but I put it on Newt's hand instead.
Newt's P.O.V.
What the bloody are these things? That was the question I was going to ask but I got cut off by Minho beating me to it. As we sit in the darkness, I can hear the stampede of footstep coming our way. I was just about to let the breath I was holding, but that breath hitched in my throat. I felt a spark go through my body and I look at the place where it originated from. Amanda's hand was on my own. I was about to let out that breath when I heard something I will never forget my whole life.
" Where are they?" An inhuman voice said from right outside the window that was right above our heads.
" It was you who lost them, you idiot." Another voice said. That voice was much more woman like compared to the first one.
" We have to find them." A different voice said. After that I heard the footsteps disappear.
" I think we're good." Amanda says as the heat of her hand left mine. She crawls over to the door and looks out.
" Never mind" she whispers as she crawls back over to me.
" What did you see?" Minho whispers.
" You really don't want to know." Amanda says. " Wait, I have an idea." She says as she goes back toward the door and take a small disc from her boot. She presses the center of the disc and throws it out the door and comes back to us.
" What did you do?" Thomas asks Amanda. She doesn't answer. She only smiles and it makes my heart skip a beat. All of a sudden I hear something that sounds like Thomas.
" Thomas. Shhh." Teresa says.
" That wasn't me." Thomas says holding his hands up in surrender.
" He's right. That wasn't him. It's a small thing I've been working on. It's called a voice disc. Basically I can make it sound like anyone." Amanda says.
" Follow them!" One of those things yells and makes almost all of us jump. The footsteps continue until it's completely silent.
" Now we're good." Amanda says as she stands up and walks to another part of the store. I notice there are backpacks, clothes, water, canned food and a few other things.
" Why is all this stuff here?" I ask as I follow her.
" This used to be a base for The Right Arm. But it was taken over by cranks." She answers without even turning around. " You guys might wanna pack some of this stuff and bring it with you." She goes and stands over by the door. We all exchange looks and start to pack things up. After putting everything in a backpack, I pick it up and put it on.
" I'm going to see if there is another way out of here." Amanda says as she was about to walk out the door.
" I'll come with you." I say before I could stop myself. She turns around and sends me a smile.
" Ok." She smiles and bites her bottom lip. I smile back at her and we both walk out the door, but as I walk out I can hear Minho saying something.
" Have fun, Romeo." I roll my eyes at him and follow Amanda. We keep walking for what seems like forever, until we found what seemed like a generator. Amanda goes over to it and starts to tinker with it. Suddenly the whole thing comes to life. Lights go on and we can finally see each other. I can see the marks on her neck.
" Amanda, what are those marks?" I ask her. Her hand goes up to cover them.
" Nothing. Just some old scars." She says a little to quick. But for some reason she seemed more bothered by them. I wonder...
