double updateeee

"Hey Bea!"

Beatrice had just finished her academics lessons when she heard somebody yell her name from the other side of the room.

"Hi!" she waved back excitedly, running over to her friend. There were very strict rules in WCKD so the girls rarely found themselves talking to each other but when they did they treasured it.

"What are you doing now?" the brunette girl asked Bea.

"I'm seeing my brother today! I haven't seen him in weeks but he finally convinced Miss Paige to let me visit him," Beatrice said excitedly, "You can come with me too so you can finally meet him!"

Her friend just grinned back at her and nodded profusely. She had a small slither of hope that her own brother would be with Beatrice's.

"Common, we have to go quick before anyone notices you've gone!" Bea said beckoning her friend to follow her. The pair ran down the corridor into the North Wing of the building. Beatrice had been in this section many times to visit her brother (but she was usually with an escort) so she knew the way to get to him like the back of her hand. Finally reaching the room they usually met in, Bea and her friend slipped into the room and Beatrice scanned the room to find the familiar brunette boy.

"There he is!" she exclaimed, pointing at the boy with a lab coat and goggles on. The boy instantly recognised his sisters voice and removed his goggles, bolting straight to where his she was standing.

"I missed you so much!" he mumbled into Beatrice's hair as she hugged him as tight as her little body could. The siblings finally broke from their embrace and her brother's eyes flickered to Bea's friend who standing behind her. She was hiding herself half because she found the boy quite intimidating and half because she found him quite good-looking.

"Oh right sorry," Bea said realising she hadn't introduced them yet.

"This is my friend, we met a couple months ago," she told her brother and then faced her friend, "And as you know this is my brother his name is-"

"I thought you promised you wouldn't do this again?"

Beatrice's eyes flew open to see Dr Crawford causing her to spring off the couch and pull her shoes on as quickly as possible. To say she was annoyed to be woken up was an understatement; she was just about to find out the brother's name in her dream when Dr Crawford just had to walk by and see her sleeping. The woman looked unimpressed by the girl talking yet another nap on the couches.

"In my defense I finished all the jobs you told me to do," Bea grumbled straightening her jacket to which Dr Crawford rolled her eyes.

"In that case since you clearly have nothing better to do, I have one last job for you to do," she said, and Beatrice just groaned internally.

"It's your lucky day!" she grinned sarcastically, "You need to escort one of the new subjects to one of the testing wards - these are Janson's orders not mine. Also, whatever you told him earlier worked miracles because he actually showed up to the staff meeting this time-"

Great I have take one of the newbies when I could be having a nap.

"- now I know you already know this but do you remember the rules when-"

"Yes, yes, I have Janson shoving it down my throat every 2 seconds whenever he catches me speaking with Aris," Bea said hastily, "The rule is to never mention WCKD or answer questions revolving about WCKD and if the subjects asks, we. Are. Not. WCKD."

"-Okay no need for the sass. Now chop, chop, off you go before I see your lazy butt sleeping again" she said shooing the girl away. Bea whined in annoyance but started walking anyways.

She trudged over to the Sublevel 6 which was where all the new subjects went when they first arrived from who knows where. She scanned her card before the doors opened, letting her into the Waiting room. It wasn't difficult to find the person who she had to escort as there was only one other girl in there. Her dark brown hair was wet as she had clearly just come out the shower and she was wearing one of the medical gowns. When she noticed she wasn't the only person in the room, she looked up and smiled at Bea.

"Hi, my name's Beatrice. I'm going to be your escort. What's your name?" Bea asked in a formal but friendly tone.

"Hey I'm Teresa," the other girl said in a curt voice, clearly not willing to let her walls down.

Well this is gonna be a fun walk.

"Nice to meet you, I'm going to be taking you to the testing ward so if you would like to follow me," Bea said, gesturing for the girl to exist the room. Teresa quickly slipped on a fresh fair of shoes an followed Bea out of the room.

"Do you know what they're gonna do to me when I get there?" she asked Beatrice in a surprisingly timid voice.

Bea just shrugged in response, "I'm not really sure. I haven't got a clue what people do here half the time. But they keep me safe and well so I know you're going to be okay" Teresa nodded satisfied with the response and the pair fell into an awkward silence as they passed the cafeteria that the subjects used.

Beatrice used this opportunity to think about her dream. She was so close to finding out a name but yet so far. She hoped she would have another dream so she could find out some names. She didn't know the names of anybody in her dream and the fact she could be little girl in it, came across in her mind many time, she just brushed the thought aside.

After a few more minutes of silence Teresa perked up, "So what do you do here then?" she asked curiously. Beatrice was a bit taken aback by her question as usually when she escorted someone - which was a rare occurrence - they would never ask many questions, especially not about her. Nonetheless, she still answered the question.

"Well, just random stuff, deliveries, sometimes I help out in some of the wards - basically anything the workers ask me to do"

Teresa nodded in response as they finally turned town the corridor of the testing wards. There was about 7 or 8 in totally lined next to each other with a curtain separating them.

"A doctor should come to you soon but for now you can just wait here," Bea said, motioning for Teresa to sit down on the bed. Once she looked settled enough, Beatrice gave her a quick smile before closing the curtain and walking out of the room.

I. Need. Sleep.

Now speed walking down the corridor, she made it her mission to get to her bunk without anybody stopping her or giving her even more jobs to do. She quickly glanced down at her watch to see that it was 8pm which was the usual time that Janson took a group of the subjects to this place. She didn't know what this place was but she knew the route Janson took which meant she knew she would bump into him if she walked her normal circuit.

Beatrice decided to take a risk and go through the hallways the subjects usually walked in and she prayed she wouldn't encounter any of them. Her feet pattered loudly against the cold marble floor as she walked past the subject's cafeteria for the second time today.

But just as she was about to turn round the corner she felt a rough hand grip her left wrist. She was spun around to meet the brunette boy she had spotted earlier in the today being injected but now he was looking Beatrice with a murderous look in his eyes.

"What did they do to her?" he hissed, causing her to shrink back a little.

"I have no clue what you're on about and I don't know who her is," she spat back at him.

"Teresa! I saw you guys walking past the cafeteria and I yelled but you clearly ignored me but-"

"The walls are soundproof dipshit," she cut him off causing him to loosen the grip on her wrist, "That's why we didn't hear you. And I have no clue what they are doing and even if I did know I wouldn't be allowed to tell you"

"Of course you know, you have to know. You work here don't you? You should know what they are doing to her?" he interrogated, re-tightening the grip on her wrist. Bea opened her mouth to retaliate but she was cut off by somebody else speaking.

"Let go of her Tommy, you're scaring her."

Both Beatrice's and the boy's eyes snapped towards a blonde boy - a boy she recognised as the blondie from the station early today. A flicker of what seemed like jealousy flashed through the blonde boy's eyes but it left as soon as it came. He jogged lightly down the corridor and place his hand on the other boy's shoulder. Grateful for this intervention, the girl snapped her wrist away, glaring at the brunette boy. Bea folded her arms across her chest defensively, her eyes flitting between the two boys.

"Oh.. um sorry," the brown-haired boy mumbled, the apology clearly being half-hearted. Beatrice just scoffed and rolled her eyes at him. The blonde one whispered something in the brunette boy's ear and the pair walked away as if nothing had happened.

Damn, these are some weird-ass kids.

But there was something at the back of Beatrice's mind that kept nagging her. There was just something so familiar about that brunette boy that she couldn't quite put her finger on. What she didn't know was that the boy found her familiar too.
