Time for waking up (3)
[ I know the story is supposed to be in first person, but I really can't do that. I keep on doing 3rd person. So I'll stick with 3rd person.]
As soon as she had passed out, she had a dream. A serious dream, not the ones where she was floating in the sky for eternity or the ones where her ice cream turned into spiders in her mouth.
She was looking at her dream as if she was standing where it took place - there was a door in front of her, and two people were talking behind it, which she could hear from muffled noise, so she slowly walked closer.
Someone in her dream clearly spoke.
"She probably knows we are planning to send out 2 compartments filled with people, so we should change our plan."
Alaynah knew that voice anywhere - Janson. That stinky rat.
"Well... maybe that would work. However, it's still crazy how she knows most of our plans... fine, then... send 3 compartments filled with people instead of 2." That was a female's voice - Ava's.
Alaynah jolted up as soon as her dream ended, looking around her, sweating a little.
Everyone was on the berg,just looking at her as she woke up and got up quickly - none of her friends had died, either, which was a good thing, but then Alaynah remembered - in her dream, they were talking about sending three compartments filled with people on the train, not two. They had saved 2 compartments, not three, and Janson and Ava sent three, and since Alaynah hadn't known, there were still people who needed saving.
Alaynah tried to speak, her voice a little louder than normal. "There was... There were... There were more people! There was a third compartment filled with people, shit!"
"What are you talking about?" Newt asked. He was standing there, looking at her with confusion.
"We didn't save all of them," she said,"There was another compartment, I just had a dream," she said, getting up quickly and pacing around the berg, one hand covering her mouth as she thought, and the other one crossed.
"Well, what can we do now? Go back for them?" Minho asked. He was sitting down next to Thomas, and this was one of the few times she saw him serious.
"Well, we have to save Teresa anyway too, so yes. We do. To save them. There are more people, okay? You have to help too," Alaynah said.
"...We were gonna break in to help Teresa anyway, why not save the rest?" Thomas said, siding with Alaynah.
"Well, how do we know these dreams are true?" Frypan asked.
"Because she's had them before, and they worked all the time," replied Newt.
Alaynah had felt guilty when he said that because she had blamed all of her knowledge on books. How would she ever tell them that they were book and movie characters that she had seen, watching in entertainment?.. while eating popcorn, of course.
"Fair, I guess," muttered Frypan. "So you wanna go back?"
"No way," Vince said.
Alaynah stayed quiet, and Minho gave her that look that said, "I-know-your-still-planning-on-it." Alaynah slightly grinned at him - it was like they had a telepathic connection.
"Wait, Thomas, don't you have a connection with Teresa? Y'all are telepathetic, aren't you?" Alaynah asked.
"Hey! I'm not telepathetic, I'm telepathic. But yes, I do... Well, I did. I can't reach her for some reason," Thomas said.
"Wait, you have a telepathic connection?" asked Harriet and Marie at the same time
"Yup, he does. Long story... probably not a long story, but yeah," Alaynah answered.
"Isn't the Teresa girl the one who betrayed us?" Harriet said.
"No, she came to her senses, and it was mostly my fault. There was a camera in my pen-knife thingy, as I told you guys weeks ago, the day everyone had been captured," Alaynah responded.

"Wow. Many people here, huh?" Alaynah asked while they walked into the compartment. They had landed the berg and were now checking in on everyone. The compartment was packed full, with space in the front where Alaynah was standing.
"I'm so sorry. If anyone you were close to didn't make it, I'm sorry," she said out loud.
Harriet just started searching for Aris and Sonya and hugged them when she found them.
Alaynah searched on the train, hoping that maybe Teresa had come along, and she was here.
"Hey," she said to a random person close to her. "How many rooms on this train were you split into?"
"Three. We had three train compartments filled with people," the random guy replied.
Alaynah looked over to Frypan, who had been listening in on the conversation. She gave him a "told-you-so" look, and he slightly scoffed.
"Thanks for the answer, dude," she said, then walked out of the apartment - her work was done.
***
Alaynah had just sat down in another room, while Thomas, Newt, Fry, Minho and some of the others went to interrogate [Minho had said it wasn't interrogating, but Alaynah had still used that word] Aris and Sonya. Alaynah still had to tell Newt that Sonya was his sister.
...
Meanwhile, Alaynah picked up her belongings from her place to get ready for saving Teresa and the others, wishing she could use her Spotify to play some music while doing ŵhat she was doing. Maybe in another universe, she would've been listening to 'All the stars are closer' (a banger) while kicking ass.
However, just because she didn't have Spotify, it didn't mean she couldn't sing . Alaynah started humming (very terribly) to a random song, but it quickly turned into a loud karaoke.
She picked up the gun she had once stolen from the weapon base (a story for later) and placed it in her backpack (Vince gave her one).
"IM JUST LIKE STEPHANIE DO I LIKE HER YES FACTUALLY -"
"What the fuck?" Apparently, the door had been opened by Frypan while Alaynah had been having a blast. "I'm not gonna ask, but we have a meeting. They weren't gonna invite you because ypur younger than us, but Brenda was nice enough to stick up for you," he said, then bolted out, probably running from her hideous voice.
