chapter #3

heyy lovlies! sorry I can't update more, I rlly want to, but I have a bunch of essays I need to get done before the break. i'm trying my hardest to get the story out to you guys though! just give it time.

p.s:  (obviously, this: .   .   . ) means time in-between parts. so the bigger space in between the dots the longer the time has passed in between parts.

Ren's POV:

we all stand in shock as we see around 70 kids all strung up, tubes coming out of them.they were getting drained like they were some sort of animal, like they were nothing. it makes me sick. I stared at the hanging, almost lifeless bodies around the room, hoping to god I don't spot any of my friends.

"teresa?" I hear Thomas say from behind me as he runs over to a raven haired girl, snapping me out of my gaze. Thomas pulled back the girls hair, relaxing as he realizes its not the person he thought. however, I see Aris' body go stiff, and tears are forming in his eyes.

"n- no- that's... Rachel." my heart drops. although I never knew Rachel for that long, I know how much Aris liked her, even if he didn't admit it. plus, any girl (or guy, or person) that was in the field with me had some sort of impact on me, even Rachel; the girl I only new for a week.

suddenly, I hear the sound of the doors sliding open, and footsteps coming closer to where we were standing. to focused on Rachel, I didn't care to move, causing Aris to pull me behind the pole he was at.

after about 30 seconds, I heard a voice talking to someone. "hello Dr.Paige, how lovely to see you." 'Janson, talking to the person who supposedly shot her brains out, why am I not surprised.' I thought to myself.

"how about we start with the newest arrivals... and the girl."

'who the hell would that be?' I thought

"you have her in the facility Right Now?" Ava asked.

"yes, we do. and she has almost no suspicion towards us." Janson said proudly.

"alright, don't drain her, when I come ill take her straight to WICKED headquarters. we need to do some experiments."

'they're talking about her like she's a lab rat! why is she so important? and who Is this girl?' 1 million thought and questions were in my mind right now, but the one thing Ava said would stick in my brain forever.

"alright, go get her, but Janson-"
"yes Dr."
"if you hurt even a hair on her head, I will personally put you in the crank pit, alright? we can't take the risk to hurt her, not unless she refuses us in headquarters. Ren is the most important person in the world to us, keep her safe and in the facility until she's in my care. got it?" Ava finished

"yes ma'am" Janson replied.

those words haunted my brain as I try to comprehend what she just said. why? why me? what makes me so special? once the call ended, Janson got on his radio-

"alright, from now on, we keep a close on eye on Ren. if anyone sees her in any form of danger, collect her, and take her immediately to the med wing. protect her at all costs. grab the newest arrivals for the procedure, and take Ren from her room and bring her to me. over."

"copy that." "yes sir" "we copy."

Thomas kicks the vent, causing a loud noise as it Bursts open, not bothering to unscrew it. this causes everyone in the room to jump to their feet, anxiously waiting for an explanation on what the 3 saw.
