DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN BELLE AND A FEW OTHERS.
Belle POV:
I quickly found Aris but we barely shared any words he suddenly froze his muscled tensed up and my breath caught in my throat.
Rachel had spoken to him in his head, told him something that made him freeze, tense up.
"Aris? Aris, what is it?" I asked shakily. I repeated the question a few times before he actually showed any recognition that I had said anything.
"Huh?"
"What did she say?" I asked him
"She said that we had to go through the Griever Hole."
"What?!" I demanded loudly and I saw a few people turn their heads to the sound but quickly went back to their business.
"Yeah, we have to meet her by the Lift," Aris said quietly. We walked over and my legs felt numb.
The Griever Hole.
Would anyone actually let this happen?
We met Rachel by the Lift she was sat on the bench her eyes were focused on something in the distance. When she saw we were there she explained what had happened at the Meeting as me and Aris sat quietly waiting for her to finish what she was saying and my heart skipped a beat a few times as she explained about her working for the Creators and all that had happened with Claire.
Claire.
She seemed so nice but now she seemed broken, angry the complete opposite of she was a week ago, maybe less.
"We were all named after famous people," Rachel said.
"Really?" Aris asked in disbelief
"Yeah, you were named after Aristotle, Harriet was named after Harriet Tuban. Vicky was named after Queen Victoria. And Belle you were names after Queen Isaella."
Soon Sonya came over she explained what had happened after Rachel left, she explained that she had convinced all of the Heads except for Claire who still needed a little bit more convincing but other than that we were good to go.
She also said we were leaving tonight.
I helped the Cooks in the Kitchens sort and cook food for tonight, the hours were hectic as everyone rushed to get ready to leave as my heart beat loudly in my chest so loud I was sure the Grievers would hear it and come out looking for it's next meal.
I shook my head not wanting to think of that.
Most of the girl Gladers agreed to die trying as most of them said.
It was a great confidence boost...
We stood outside the Doors as Sonya and Harriet started a prep talk but I wasn't listening the only think of was Newt.
I need to make it out of here for him, so I can be with him again.
"Lets go!" Harriet and Sonya roared at once snapping me out of my daydream as we started to run, I stuck to the back as I wasn't one of the fittest runners and mty legs had already started to burn but I didn't stop. Vicky ran next to me her eyes focused on what lay in front of her it was then I realised how much she looked like Minho.
Could this be his sister?
Minho could have family right next to me.
"Belle, are you alright?" Vicky gasped out.
"Yeah."
"We're both named after Queen's, kinda cool huh?" She said her voice seemed so high pitched. I'd never heard her seem so happy anything.
I let out a small laugh. "Yeah, Vicky, lets just save our breath."
"Yeah, I kinda regret talking to you now."
We ran in silence until the group suddenly stopped and I ran into the back of a blonde I've never met.
"Sorry," I mumbled when she shot me a dirty look.
"It's alright," She said before turning back to the front of the group.
I then went to the front of the crowd just as Claire separated herself from the crowd towards a large group of Grievers.
"No," I heard Rosa say as she tried to dive forwards to grab Claire but me, Rachel and Harriet pulled her back into the crowd as a ear splitting scream echoed around the air as the Claire came into contact with the Grievers.
"Clear a path for Rachel and Aris," Rosa said. "The quicker they put in the Code the quicker we can get out of here.
"What about Claire?" I asked in a small voice.
"Belle, that wasn't Claire. The Claire we knew died in the Changing that girl wasn't Claire," Harriet said clearly. "And she wouldn't want us to waste her sacrifice so we're going to strike now."
I nodded slowly.
"Alright, One, Two, Three," Sonya chanted. "Go!"
As if sensing we were about to attack the Griever's sprung into life I turned around and saw there were a few behind us.
I can't believe I didn't hear them.
I rolled my eyes. 'Great I'm finally going crazy' I thought bluntly as we charged towards the horrid creatures that were Grievers.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see Rachel and Aris run for the Griever Hole.
Aris jumped and disappeared.
I felt my mouth drop open in disbelief as I threw myself at a near by Griever as I struck at it attacking it's long mechanical arms as I felt my arm get cut and I winced in pain. I swung my arm as the Griever finally fell lifeless on the ground. I turned and saw Vicky struggling with a large Griever it seemed so big compared to the others but it was probably because she was so small, she was so young compared to a lot of the others. I ran over to the Griever as we ganged up on the Griever ignoring the screams from the other girls surrounding us as we struck it again and again as the Griever fell lifeless on the ground.
"Queen's stick together," I said quietly.
She smiled widely. "Yeah." I turned away from her and saw we were surrounded by pools of red blood suddenly the noise of something getting pierced caught my attention.
"Belle," I heard a voice gasp out I turned and saw Vicky a spear of some sort through her shoulder.
"No!" I screamed the spear retracted then pieced her again this time right in the chest as she screamed in pain.
The rest was a blur as the Griever fell limp he spear retracted and I caught Vicky in my arms. I held her limp body to me as I screamed and I felt arms drag me away until I felt myself flying through the air and I landed with a loud thump on a solid floor, I was pulled away just in time for Sonya to drop down.
"Belle, are you alright?" I recognised the voice as Rachel.
"Vicky's dead," I sobbed out. I felt warmth as I was engulfed in a hug.
"Belle, we need to go," Rachel said pulling me out of the hug. "We can mourn her later."
She grabbed my hand as we walked Harriet at the front leading the was with Rosa.
There were at least forty girls who agreed to come with us, there were around at least twenty-five, less then half.
I let out a silent sigh of relief.
"I think we're at a slide," I heard Harriet say before a sound of someone being knocked over and a distant scream. "Rosa!"
I heard a few sniggers as they realised someone had accidentally knocked Rosa down the slide.
Deciding it was the best way to go Harriet led everyone down the slide, I went behind Aris and in front of Rachel. I felt a foot make contact with the back of my head as I slid down.
"Really, Rachel," I cursed loudly.
"Sorry."
The slide smelt disgusting and it felt like it was smothered in slime, I was almost sick. I slid out quickly and landed on Aris.
"Sorry," I said quickly standing up when someone made contact with the back of my legs making me fly face first into Aris again. "I'm so sorry."
We all quickly stood it turned out it was Rachel who had landed on me.
Then I saw them men and women looked at us behind glass, they wrote down notes as I realised who they were.
The Creators.
I looked at Rachel who had disgust written all over her face.
"What?" I asked her as she pointed at a bald man who was staring into space.
"He picked his nose it was so disgusting," She whispered.
I laughed a little and shook my head. "After everything we've been though you find that disgusting."
Suddenly the door at the back of the room opened and two people stepped though the door I think they were both female but it was hard to tell because one of them were hidden under a hood. The other was an adult her hair was brown shoulder length her face was skinny as she wore black trousers and a white button down and had WICKED printed on it.
"So many survivors even after two years, extraordinary," She said loudly and the image of Vicky's lifeless body ran through my mind.
I stepped forwards. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I growled. "A girl who couldn't gave been older than fifteen just died and your acting like it was nothing."
"Come on, honey. I thought out of everyone you'd be the one who wanted to get out the most," She said far too calm as if she had been practicing this conversation a million times. "Isabella, your safe now."
I snorted loudly. "I'm anything but safe."
I felt two strong arms grab me and pull me back.
"My name is Belle not Isabella you-"
"Belle," I turned and saw Rachel with her head cocked to the side.
The woman looked over at the hooded figure and the figure took down her hood.
"Beth?" Rachel said her voice cracking.
Beth stood there as she twitched nervously and her eyes seemed hollow.
'What was wrong with her?' I thought to myself
"What the hell?" I heard a girl whisper behind me.
"Of course there is one more Variable," The woman said her voice turning cold.
Beth raised her hand and pointed it at Rachel, my feet felt like they were stuck to the ground. Beth threw the knife as it made contact with Rachel's chest.
"No!" I screamed as she fell to the ground and I collapsed next to her. I crawled over to her supporting her head on my lap. "No, no, no ,no!"
"Fi-find him," Rachel gasped. "Get out of here and find Ne-" Her voice broke off as her body went limp.
"No!" I screamed out her red hair falling in front of her face like a curtain I pushed her hair out of her eyes and laid her down on the ground, and my head snapped up to Beth.
I ran over and tackled her as an endless amount of tears streamed down my face, how could this have happened.
One minute Rachel was commenting about how disgusting it was that someone was picking their nose the next she was dead on the floor. It didn't work like that.
Suddenly gunshots were fired as men and woman in uniform shot the Creators and the woman I felt myself get pulled away from Beth and was pulled into a bus but it was raining heavily, I got inside when a hollow face appeared at the window before it diapered again as quickly as it came. The bus was quickly filled as I sat next to Rosa.
"You alright?" Rosa asked
"No," I said looking out the window my voice sounded hollow, I couldn't help but wonder if it felt that way to her too.
"You should probably go to sleep, I'll let you know if I see anything fishy," Rosa said smiling slightly.
"Ok," I said sadly my eye lids fell heavy as I fell asleep until I was shaken awake by Rosa.
"Time to go," She said basically dragging me off the bus. I wiped the sleep out of my eyes and we were led inside a large building like a Gym where food were set out in tables like Pizza.
I liked Pizza.
I ate but not much as we were told to go to sleep in a dorm. Aris had to sleep in another room because he was a boy. I slept on a bunk under Sonya with one silent prayer whispering though my mind hoping by that by some miracle Newt could hear me.
Find Me.
