Raven's POV

'Raven!' I opened my eyes and saw Newt hanging above me. I heard screams and gunshots around us. We were still in the helicopter and it was dark outside. 'Come on!' Newt pulled me up and grabbed my hand.

We got out of the helicopter and started following the men in black.

'Cranks!' I heard a man scream, then I heard more gunshots. Me and Newt continued running and I saw that Thomas, Minho, Teresa, Frypan and Winston did too.

We arrived at a big building.

'Quick!' One man motioned for us to get in the building. A big door opened and we got in.

Just a few seconds after we were inside the door closed again, and all the sounds that came from outside stopped. I looked around me. I saw people running around while some kind of alarm went off.

~

Someone had told us that we should wait in a room. We were sitting in it until suddenly a door opened. We all turned our head and got up from our places.

I saw a man appear. He was wearing a leather jacket with a grey turtle neck. His hair was brown mixed with gray.

'You kids doing alright?' He walked into the room and we started walking towards him.

'Sorry about all the fuss.' The man said. 'We had ourselves a bit of a swarm.'

'Who are you?' Thomas asked.

'I'm the reason you're all still alive.' He answered. 'It's my intention to keep you that way. Now come with me.' He took a step back. 'We'll get you kids squared away.' He walked out of the room and I gave Minho a glance, then we followed the man.

'You can call me Mr. Janson.' The man, Janson, said once we were walking through another room. 'I run this place.' Janson explained.

'For us it is a sanctuary, safe from the horrors of the outside world.' Janson said while walking. 'You all should think of it as a way station. Kind of a home between homes.'

'That mean your're taking us home?' Thomas asked.

'A home of sorts.' Janso turned around as he was still walking. 'Sadly there wouldn't be much left of wherever you came from. But we do have a place for you. A refuge, outside the Scorch. Where WICKED will never find you again.' He explained. 'How does that sound?'

'Why are you helping us?' Minho said a little suspicious.

'Let's just say the world out there is in a rather precarious situation. We're all on by a very thin thread. The fact that you kids can survive the Flare virus makes you the best chance of humanity's continued survival.' Janson said. 'Unfortunately, it also makes you a target, as no doubt by now you've noticed.'

Janson stopped walking once we were in front of a door. 'Beyond this door lies the beginning of your new lives.' Janson grabbed a card and unlocked the door, revealing a hallway.

Wow, great new life. A shucking hallway.

'First things first.' Janson turned around. 'Let's do something about that smell.'

'Oh, man!' One of the boys said once we got in the showers. Janson had lead us to a bathroom with seperate showers. The water was way hotter then in the Glade and it was nice.

I saw that blood was being removed from my body by the water. I checked my side where the Griever had hit me and saw that it already looked much better. The wound wasn't even looking that bad after all.

We all enjoyed our shower and putted on clean clothes. They gave me a red tight shirt that was long sleeved, and black cargo pants.

~

Janson had lead us to another room. Minho was running on a treadmill while the others got some injections. 

'Teresa?' I saw a woman walking towards Teresa who was sitting on a bed. Teresa nodded and the woman closed the curtain so I couldn't see them anymore.

'Raven?' I turned my head and saw a woman standing in front of me. She had short brown hair and was wearing white clothes. 'Come with me, please.' She said.

I got up and followed the woman. I saw Newt frowning, I gave him a quick look that it would be okay and then I walked away.

The woman lead me to some kind of medical room. I saw bottles with pills and medicines standing on the drawers. In the middle was a hospital bed with some devices.

'Lay down, please.' The woman motioned to the bed.

'What are you gonna do?' I asked when I got on the bed.

'Just gonna do some checks.' The woman said. A bald man walked into the room.

'Please give me the syringe.' The man asked while putting on some white gloves.

I found all of it a bit strange, but I cooperated. The woman gave the man a syringe filled with some kind of blue liquid.

'What's that?' I asked as I straightened my back.

The man didn't answer and grabbed my arm. The woman moved a wet cotton pad on my wrist and the man gave me the syringe. I closed my eyes at the uncomfortable feeling, but soon it was over.

I felt my eyelids get heavier every second and I tried to keep them open, but eventually I closed my eyes.

~

'Mom, what's happening to dad?' A little girl with dark hair walked to a woman. The woman looked down and didn't say anything. 'Mommy?' The little girl asked again.

'It's okay.'  The woman had tears in her eyes as she lifted the little girl onto her lap. On the background were loud screams coming from a man.

'He looks weird, mom.' The girl looked at her mom. 'His eyes are turning black and he doesn't recognize me.' The girl said a little sad.

'You aren't supposed to come close to him, sweetheart.' The woman said.

'What's happening to him?' The little girl asked again.

'It's gonna be alright.' The woman paused. 'It's all gonna be all right.' The woman removed the kid from her lap and grabbed something from a drawer.

The woman walked to the room were the screams were coming from and opened the door. The little girl looked confused, but before she could say anything the woman got in the room and closed the door behind her.

The girl sat down on a wooden chair as she heard screams coming from the room. Suddenly she heard a loud gunshot. She jumped at the sudden sound and got up from the chair.

The screams had stopped and everything was silent.

'Mom?' The girl asked with a shaky voice. She started walking to the room where her parents had go.

She quietly opened the door and moved her head around the corner. She let out a quiet gasp when she saw the awful sight. Her mother was sitting on a bed with a gun in her hands. She was looking down and sobbing.

On the ground was laying a man. His clothes were ripped and he didn't look good. Lots of red liquid came from his head and it was all over the ground.

The woman looked up when she heard her daughter gasping and quickly got off the bed.

'You aren't supposed to see this!' She screamed. 'Go to your room, now!' She said mad.

~

I opened my eyes and had to adjust to the bright light that was hanging above me.

'She's waking up.' A man hung in front of me. He was wearing a blue face mask with glasses. He shined a little light in my eye.

'I'll take care of it.' A woman to my right said. She had a cap on her hair and was also wearing a face mask. She grabbed something from a table.

I wanted to resist and get back to Newt and the others. When the woman got closer to me with a syringe in her hand I quickly grabbed a small knife from the table next to me. The woman was standing next to me and wanted to give me the injection, but I sliced her hand with the small knife.

'Ow!' She backed away from me and rubbed her hand.

I wanted to get up and run away, but the man grabbed me by the arms and gave me a injection.

I wanted to scream, say something, resist, but I couldn't. My body couldn't move and it was like I was frozen in my place. Myy eyes slowly started to close again.

Newt's POV

They had taken Raven and Teresa away from us. We were here for a day now. We got some proper beds to sleep in and great food, but I was getting worried about the girls, mostly Raven. I didn't see her in a day and I also didn't know what they were doing to her.

We were currently sitting at a table with a few other boys.

'How long have you guys been here?' I asked two boys.

'Not long.' A dark-skinned boy answered. 'A day or two.' He turned his head towards a boy that was sitting alone at a table. 'That kid over there has been here the longest.' The boy had a cap over his head. 'Almost a week.'

'His maze was nothing but girls.' Another boy said.

Minho turned his head. 'Really?'

'Some guys have all the luck.'

'Well our Newtie here has gotten enough luck.' Minho wrapped his arm around me. 'He's got himself a girl.' Minho smirked and let go off me.

'Come on, Minho. Don't act like you don't like her.' I said. 'Cause we all know you do.'

'And Thomas too.' Minho ignored me and looked at Thomas.

'Shut up.' Thomas said.

'Are you making all this up?' One of the boys asked Minho.

'No.' Minho said confused. "What do you mean?'

'Well, I guess they're both very lucky, but I don't see any girls at this table.'

'Yeah, where are they?' Winston asked.

'I don't know, but I'm getting worried.' I said and Thomas agreed.

'Good evening gentleman, ladies.' I moved my head and saw Janson entering the dining room. 'You all know how this works. If you hear your name get called please get up and join my colleagues behind me. They will escort you to the eastern wing. Your new lives are about to begin.'

'Connor.'

'Evelyn.'

'Justin.'

'Peter.'

'Allison.'

'Squiggy.'

I heard a few people laugh at the name.

'All right, settle down. Fanklin.' Janson said. 'And Abigail.' He said. 'If I could take more, I would. There's always tomorrow. Your time will come.' Janson walked out of the dining room.

'Where are they going?' Minho asked.

'Far from here.' The boy answered. 'A safe place.'

Thomas his eyes trailed off to a window. I looked at it and saw to doctors walking with Teresa.

But where is Raven?
