     Apparently Thomas had figured something out because he was quick to grab Newt and the three med jacks. The six gathered in Alby's room, Thomas holding a syringe filled with a blue liquid. The letters 'WCKD' printed on it. They where all a little sceptical, especially Rory, when it came to the decision of testing it on Alby but they all knew that either way Alby is dead, if it didn't work or they didn't inject him at all.

Teresa, the new girl, introduced her properly to Rory who just replied with a nod and telling the girl her name. Rory usually avoided entering that room because she hated seeing Alby in a state. Jeff and Clint knew that so the two both stayed close to the Raven haired girl.

"We don't even know what this stuff is, we don't know who sent it, why it came up with you" Newt pointed at Teresa, Rory saw it through her blurred vision. Her eyes not leaving Alby's struggling body even though they where watering "i mean for all we know this thing could kill him"

"he's already dying" The boys brought there voiced to a whisper, both knowing how much this whole thing was affecting Rory. It didn't help though, she still heard every word and by know tears where falling freely however the dim lights allowed them to go unnoticed "look at him. How could this possibly make it any worse. Its worth a try"

"let him newt" Rory spoke, her voice quiet. Everyone turned to face her almost shocked to hear her speak meaning they all saw her crying yet she couldn't quite care that they saw it "he's going to die anyway at least this gives us a little bit of hope" Jeff grabbed the girls hand gently.

"Alright do it" Newt gave the syringe back to Thomas, Rory brought her boot clad feet up onto the chair and her knees into her chest. She really hoped that this would work. Rory closed her eyes and buried her head into her knees only able to hear what was happening. The shallow but quick breaths from Alby. Suddenly she heard Alby shouting and looked up, the dark skinned boy grabbing onto Thomas' shirt.

She saw Teresa grab the syringe and quickly turn away as she injected the boy who had been there for her since the beginning. Everything went silent, all noise except Rory's sniffles. When she looked back the girl choked back a sob.

"Okay from now on someone stays here and watches him around the clock" Newt started "Someone who's not Rory, preferably" The girl was still crying, more so now since he was actually injected. She was glad that Newt had stuck up for her yet again because she didn't exactly want to watch the only father figure she had in her life just lay there almost lifeless.

"Hey" Gally spoke softly as he walked in "Sundown greenie" Thomas left with Gally while the remaining five stayed by Alby. Rory got up, not wanting to see Alby in the state he was in and also left. Chuck almost immediately found her and brought the girl into a hug, he knew how much this was affecting Rory since he was always there to listen to the girls rants. Rory returned it before Chuck said he wanted to talk to Thomas.

After dinner the two managed to grab bread from the kitchen before heading over to the pit. Rory holding a candle that had been placed in a mason jar while Chuck held the food and water "Who's there" The duo heard from inside of the cell.

"its just us" Chuck started handing through the food and drink "here you run better on a full stomach" They then sat on the dirt outside of said cell, Rory placing the lit flame down so they still had light

"Thanks you two" Thomas smiled slightly while stuffing his face with food. Chuck pulled out two figurines and held them in both his hands "what you got there" Chuck showed the two, it was a hand carved piece of wood "what's it for"

"For my parents" Chuck sighed as Rory leant back on her elbows.

"You remember your parents" Thomas asked

"no" Chuck spoke in a whisper "i mean i know i must have them and wherever they are I'm sure they miss me but i cant miss them because i don't remember them" The younger boys eyes welling with tears. Rory sat up quickly and pulled him into her, letting him rest his head on her shoulder whilst she placed a soft kiss on his head "what do you think your gonna find out there tomorrow"

"Uh i don't know" Thomas mumbled

"yeah you do" Rory replied "your gonna find our way out. Your gonna be our way home Thomas" 

Chuck handed one of the figure through the door over to Thomas with a  sigh "chuck why would you give this to me"

"cant remember them anyway" Chuck gulped, Rory's eyes tearing up for the boy "but maybe if you find a way out you can give it to them for me. Now I'm going to get some sleep" The young boy got up and Rory smiled at him but remained on the floor.

"Hey chuck" Thomas called out, the boy turned around and came back to the pit "hold out your hand" Chuck did as told. Thomas placed the wooden creation in his hand "i want you to give that to them yourself. Were gonna get out of here. All of us" The three then said there goodnights leaving Thomas alone with Rory.

"do you really think we might find a way out" She whispered while crossing her legs and leaning forward.

"yeah, yeah i do" He encouraged. The girl smiled and held out her hand, hesitantly Thomas grabbed it. The two sat in silence for a little while just enjoying the company.

"i don't know why Gally doesn't like you. Maybe its because he doesn't like change or whatever but your cool" Rory smiled "now i need so sleep and so do you"

"goodnight Rory" Thomas spoke quietly. Rory said her goodbyes and headed back to homestead quietly so she didn't wake anyone up. She changed into her hoodie and a pair of joggers before going to newts room and knocking.

"come in" she heard from inside. Rory smiled and walked inside not waiting for a reply before she climbed into his bed beside him. She needed comfort and strangely enough Newt is the one who Rory feels safest with.
