'Sᴀғᴇ Pʟᴀᴄᴇ'

❀

"Oh, um-Wow," I said when I stepped into the cafeteria full of kids it took me a moment to realize I was standing in the middle of the cafeteria before I heard my name.

"Bloom." I hear Thomas say waking up to me.

"Are you okay? Where have you been." He asked me.

"I-I was with Janson answering some questions," I said to him looking around.

"He asked you questions too?" He said to me and I turned to face him.

"Yeah, why? He asks you questions too?" I said to him.

"Yeah, he did." He said to me and I nodded.

"What did he say to you?" He asked me and I was swollen thickly.

I haven't told Thomas about what I've been dreaming.

"Um- h-he asked me which side I was on," I said to his stutter.

"Yeah? He asked me the same questions." He said to me and I let out a sigh before looking down.

"Thomas I need to tell you something. It's about something I haven't told you." I said to him before a looked at me in concern.

"What?" He said to me with a confused look.

"Everything that has happened I didn't have the time to tell you that I've been getting my memories by pieces," I said to him and he looked into my eyes before I looked down I let out a sigh ready to speak up before I heard Minho speak up.

"Hey, bloom," Minho said and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Minho, hey," I said to him before running up to him and wrapping my arms around him.

"Thank god, saved by the bell," I whispered to him and he let out a chuckle.

"So what's going on?" I asked him while pulling away from him and standing next to Thomas.

"We weren't the only maze. Come on." Minho said making me frown and turning to Thomas who gave me a shrug and I turned to follow Minho.

"And there was this big, loud explosion and these guys came out of nowhere. Started shooting up the place." One of the boys said.

"It was intense." Another said.

"They pulled us out of the maze and brought us here." The dude said before looking me up and down.

"What about the rest? The other people left behind in the maze, what happened to them?" Newt asked him.

"I don't know... I guess WICKED still has them." The boy said to us.

"How long have you guys been here?" Newt asked the two boys sitting in front of us.

"Not long. Just a day or two." The boy next to Winston said.

"That kid over there has been here the longest." He said turning to look at the boy with a grey hoodie.

"Almost a week. His maze was nothing but girls." The boy who sat in front of Newt said before looking at me which Minho, Thomas, and Newt noticed.

"Really?" Minho said.

"Some guys have all the luck." The other guy said before giving me a wink.

"Lucky you guys have the prettiest girl." He said to them.

"Hey, man. Back off." Thomas said to the boy making me turn to see Thomas with his jaw clenched.

"My bad didn't know he was your boyfriend." The boy said to us making Thomas and I cough awkwardly.

"Oh, uh- no h-he's not m-my Boyfriend," I said stuttering feeling my cheeks turning a pinkish color.

"Okay, this is awkward." I hear Newt say to us making me turn to him and glare at him. "Good evening, gentlemen. Ladies." We heard Janson say and we all turn around to see Janson coming to the center of the cafeteria.

"You all know how this works. If you hear your name called... please rise in an orderly fashion, and join my colleagues behind me...

where they will escort you to the eastern wing. Your new lives are about to begin." Janson said while he starts to call out names.

"Where Teresa?" I asked Frypan and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Beats me." He said to me and I turned to Thomas.

"Have you seen Teresa?" I asked he nodded.

"No, not really. The last time i saw her was when they were doing blood tests or whatever they were doing." He said to me and I nodded biting down my lip.

"Are you okay?" Thomas asked me in a concerned voice.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," I said to him with a fake smile.

"Okay. Hey, what's the thing you wanted to tell me?" He said to me.

"Oh um I-I forgot but if I remember I will tell you.," I said to him with a small smile.

"You know you could tell me anything right?" He said to me while making eye contact with me and reaching for my hand.

"Yeah, I know," I said to him and a smile and Inter-whine our hands together.

"And Abigail." He said before people started to mumble.

"Now, now, don't get discouraged. If I could take more, I would. There's always tomorrow your time will come." He said to everyone in the cafeteria before walking out.

"Where are they going?" Minho asked the dude.

"Far from here." He said before turning to face us.

"Lucky bastards." He said to me which made me frown.

"Some kind of farm. A safe place. They can only take in a couple of people at a time." The other one said.

"Why does the part 'a safe place' sound like it's all fantasy," I said before I heard Thomas's voice.

"What the hell?" He said before getting up and walking away.

"Thomas!" I said getting up and running after him.

"Hey, Teresa!" He said watching Teresa walk with the same doctor from before.

"Teresa!" Thomas yelled again which made Teresa look at us.

"Wait, Thomas!" I said to him catching up to him.

"Hey, hey, hey." One of the guards said to Thomas which made him stop too.

"Where are they taking her?" Thomas asked the guard.

"They just have to run a few miter tests." He said before I stepped in.

"Didn't they have enough?" I asked him.

"Don't worry, they'll be done with her soon." The guard said yet again.

"Is she okay?" Thomas asked him in a concerned voice which I looked down.

"She's fine." He's said to Thomas without saying anything else.

"Hey, let's just go, okay?" I said to him placing my hand on his chest before we started to walk away.

"I don't like this place." I blurted it out to him.

"What?" He said to me.

"I- I- it just feels weird to be here," I said to him.

"I have a  feeling in my stomach that some bad will happen if we don't get out of here," I said to him before looking around the place feeling someone watching me.
