Lynn couldn't sleep.

The thought of having to kill her best friend was still on her mind.

As she let out an aggravated sigh, the blonde turned in bed once more, pulling the blankets up to under her chin. Everyone had already managed to get to sleep, something Lynn didn't understand.

How could they be sleeping peacefully knowing that they are going into through this Flat Trans thing in order to get to the 'Scorch'? Lynn was still trying to put the puzzle pieces together. She loved being with her the girls that she spent two years with, but she missed the boys or, as Rat Man called them, Group A. She wanted to know what was going on with them, if they were in the same situation, or if they were already out of this prison.

But, those thoughts were for another time.

All the others had prepared for the journey into the Flat Trans tomorrow. They took some of the pillow cases and filled them with food, like apples, oranges, pears, basically anything that was non-perishable. Some of the fruit came in plastic bags, so they had used those to put water in, tying them off with some spare hair elastics and rubber bands. A burlap sack had been found in one of the dressers, that sack would be used to carry Thomas' body, dead or alive, it was something Lynn didn't like hearing. But according to Teresa, it's the only to get into the Safe Haven.

Teresa had been voted to 'lead' their little group for the time being and would be the one to kill Thomas, since none of them wanted to have the guilt of killing someone they didn't know on their conscience. She had told them that the first thing they had to do when they get into the Scorch is find weapons. Bow and arrows, knives, spears, a big stick, anything really. Then they would track down Group A, take Thomas to a place in the mountains, and Teresa would bring him to the 'special place' to kill him. Or at least, that's what Lynn heard from the continued conversation in the bathroom.

Lynn could feel her eyes, slowly growing heavy. But before she completely zoned out, she set the alarm on her watch to five thirty, just as everyone else had done, and finally fell asleep.

By the time everyone was up and ready to go, it was 5:55 according to Lynn's watch. Only five more minutes till this magical Flat Trans thing was about to open.

The invisible barrier had appeared again, making it impossible to get to the other side were Rat Man said the transportation device was going to be. So they all either sat down or lingered to the side, clutching their water packs, bed sheets (Christine insisted they bring them, apparently she doesn't her clothes to get dirty if they sleep on the floor), and pillowcases filled with assorted foods.

Every girl was clearly anxious, some were bouncing their knees while others looked more alert than usual. Lynn was hanging near the back of the group, fiddling with a piece of string that was hanging off of the pillowcase that was swung over her shoulder.

"Hey,"

Lily's quiet voice attracted Lynn's attention away from the string, looking up at her redheaded friend.

"Hey." The corners of Lynn's mouth came up into a soft smile, still playing with the string.

"You doing alright?"

The blonde scoffed, "That's what everyone keeps askin' me." she muttered.

"It's only because we're worried about you, Lynn." Lily said, "You disappear for what? Two weeks? We think you were dead and then in a heartbeat you magically show up again, then you get told that we have to kill your best friend in order to get some 'wonderful cure'. Of course we're going to be asking you if you're okay."

There was a long pause before Lynn answered, "I'm really not." Another pause followed.

"Thank God, you got a new sticking hoodie." Lily motioned to the semi-clean white jacket tied around her friend's waist. "That other one was really starting to bother me, it looked like it had been resurrected from the dead one too many times."

Lynn chuckled lightly, "May I remind you, that it was you who kept fixing it. For all I know, you could've thrown it away and asked the Creators to send a new one up in the Box."

"Trust me, I didn't do that. Sonya said to let you keep it, it would be no use trying to make you throw it away. Where did the other hoodie go anyway?"

"I think Newt took it." Lynn murmured, looking down at the ground.

"Your brother?"

"Yeah, it must've been before we escaped the Maze. I only remember having it whe-"

"Hey guys! The barrier is gone!" a girl shouted from the front of the room.

Lynn and Lily headed towards Sonya and Harriet, coming up beside them. Queen Teresa was standing by a shimmering, odd-looking, grey wall, after examining it carefully, she turned towards everyone, "Everyone sure they still want to go?" she questioned. "Because if some stick changes their mind once were out there, they're gonna be coming back with a black eye and broken arm."

The second command's head dropped to her hands, groaning loudly as she did so, earning an elbow in the side from Harriet.

"Got a problem Lynn?"

Said girl crossed her arms over her chest, "No, just admiring your bloody leadership skills."

Teresa's piercing blue eyes gave Lynn a once over before speaking again, "Right," she adjusted the water pack in her hand, tightening the hold she had on it. "Come on! Don't mess around once we get in there, we gotta make this fast, we only got five minutes to get all of us in there. I'll go first," Teresa pointed her finger at Lynn. "You go last, make sure everyone is in there before you come."

Lynn nodded her head with a roll of her eyes, adjusting the strap of her pillowcase-backpack.

Teresa walked up to the wall of liquid, looking cement, taking a step through it without any hesitation. It absorbed her body as she passed through, vanishing from their sight completely.

It took two minutes for Lynn, Lily, Sonya, and Harriet to get the herd all of the other girls through the wall, each of them hesitating before stepping through the glimmering wall. Soon it was only Lily and Lynn left, the Flat Trans awaiting them.

"You sure about this?" Lily asked, looking straight ahead at the wall.

"Yeah, I am." Lynn said, quickly nodding her head. "Now let's go, this thing closes in one minute."

"Together?" Lily held out a trembling hand, palm facing upwards.

"Together."

Gripping Lily's hand, both of them took a step forward. The murky, grey wall swallowing them whole.

Hey Guys! Sorry about the short chapter. This freakin' writers block is gonna be the death of me. Luckily school's out, so I can right more now. I am open to oneshot ideas, because I need something new. I love writing this story and I will NOT abandon it, I just need something that I can do besides the story. So if you all have any ideas, please leave a review! Thanks to everyone that followed or reviewed the story!
