── ⋆⋅☾⋅⋆ ──

Katri screams echo in her mind when they were torturing her, they ran all the tests they could keeping her up for months. She barely got any sleep, her hair was down to her tailbone once again and washed, surprisingly. Her bright blue eyes held no gloss in them, the only person to keep her sane was Minho whenever they saw one another.

It had been several months since they were taken, Katri was wearing a grey shirt with blue coat and sweatpants. Her eyes were cast down to her legs, she had more cuts on her body and a nice big bruise on the left side of her forehead and right side of the cheek, a nice fat lip and a nice bruise on the right side of her neck as well. Nothing would be able to hide them, her hair was a slight mess because of how hot it was with all the people in the cargo.

Her wrists were chained up and she was separated from her best friend. She then heard a jeep outside, and she looked up slightly confused. She sat up straight with her eyes shining when she figured out who it was.

Her breath went heavy as her heart swelled up in happiness. She heard them on top of the train.

Outside, the two stopped once they saw guards running towards them with guns in their hands. Vince climbed down in-between the two cargo sections and started trying to disengage the two.

Soon, Thomas climbed down and began shooting at the guards who were coming close to them. Vince finally had it ready, both the guys taking cover while the guards continue running to them, unaware of the little explosion. Just then, it exploded making the two parts the train separate.

The victims who were taken by W.I.C.K.E.D, including Katri and Minho, all fell forward a little bit due to the part of their train stopping. Katri looked up a little in confusion.

Vince and Thomas jumped off the train, it finally had stopped before Thomas turned to the left and whistled loudly.

Someone stood up from behind the rock revealing Newt with a bag on his back, looking at the two guys in front of him. Vince waved to the blond, making Newt turn around looking at the other big rock behind him. "Alright, come on! Let's go!" Newt motioned for two other people from behind the other rock to follow him. "Come on!" Before grabbing another bag before running towards the train where Thomas and Vince were.

Thomas started banging on the cargo section where the W.I.C.K.E.D victims were in. "Katri! Minho!" He yells.

Kids in the cargo were shaking their chains and yelling making Katri looking around as if hearing Thomas yell her and Minho's name. "Katri! Minho! Can you hear me?!" Once she was sure she heard Thomas, she begins shaking the chain and screaming.

Upon thinking he heard both Minho and Katri, Newt came running where Thomas was. "This one! This one!" Thomas told the blond. Newt started putting on goggles while Thomas and Vince were a couple feet away looking at the guards who had jumped off the other part of the train and started running towards them.

"Oh shit." Vince breathed out. "It's gonna be close," He said before running to Newt.

Thomas and Vince were not on top of the train getting ready to get it out of here. Thomas glanced down to where Newt was. "Newt, how you doing?"

Not taking his eyes off his work, he replies calmly. "Don't rush me."

The guards were getting closer now til they stopped and started shooting at the guys on the train. Vince, Thomas and Newt ducked avoiding being shot. Thomas started shooting at them. "Newt, get up here!" Thomas yells at him.

"Almost there," Newt assured.

Vince climbed down the train getting on the ground where Newt was while shooting at the guards as well. Finally, Newt finished what he was doing. "Newt, go!" Vince shouted to the boy before continuing shooting at the guards. Newt ran to Thomas's side, ducking too.

"Where the hell are they?" Newt asks.

"I don't know," Thomas shrugs.

Everyone started climbing up to where the two boys were, but Vince was still on the ground. All of a sudden, an aircraft came into view stopping right next to the train making everyone look up. Brenda, who was in the aircraft, pressed a button making an anchor lower down, Thomas and Newt looking up at it while Vince continues staying on the ground shooting at the guards.

Thomas jumped up and grabbed the anchor, Newt grabbing it a little after before hooking up to the cargo. "Vince! Get up here!" shouts Newt towards the man who was still on the ground glancing down. Finally, Vince had made it on just in time for it to rise. Thomas started shooting the guards hitting two of them causing them to collapse on the ground.

Once they were far enough, they started cheering, hugging each other happy that they just pulled this off, and they finally had their two friends back.

Or so they thought...

~

They finally made it back to their safe zone. Newt grabbed his tool, burning through the door making it pop open. Thomas had hopped in first looking around at all the victims W.I.C.K.E.D took. He walked down the aisle a little before spotting Aris and Sonya.

"Aris!" Thomas gasps holding Aris's shoulder. "Hey, you guys okay?"

They both nodded, looking happy to see an old friend. He nodded at them before patting Aris's shoulder and continue to search for Minho and Katri. He looked around for a moment before spotting a familiar face.

A young girl with scarlet red hair and bright blue eyes sitting there. Katri. She's here and she's safe. Thomas ran up to her startling her before she realizes who it was. Thomas cupped her face gently looking at her with tears in his eyes. His love was back! He caressed her cheeks a little before noticing a big noticeable bruise on her forehead, cheek and neck. He also saw the nice fat lip she got.

"What did they do to you?" He muttered, glancing at her eyes and the bruises.

Katri breathes a little bit as if the world crashed down on her. "Thomas..." Tears welled up in her eyes as if trying to cry but she couldn't bring herself too. He sets his forehead against hers as they both close their eyes. "Oh god... It's been too damn long..."

Thomas leans away from her and glancing around the rest of the kids, looking for Minho. Once he didn't see the Asian boy, he looked back at Katri.

"I thought Minho was in here with you?" He said, but it came out as more as a question.

Katri let out a sigh and shakes her head. "I don't know what happened to him..." She muttered to him.

Thomas now pulled her into a tight hug, before everyone started unchaining the kids. They all walked out and squinted their eyes for a moment adjusting to the bright sun. Once Katri could see better, she started glancing around, trying to search for Newt or anyone she knew.

Thomas touched her hand as she looked back at him, and he gently smiled at her. Katri gently smiled back and went back to look for her other best friend.

"Alright, listen up!" Vince started as Katri looked at him. "I know you've all been through hell. I wish I could say our troubles are over, but we're not through this yet. W.I.C.K.E.D's still out there. They're not giving up 'cause you got something they want. They took you because you're immune to a plague that's wiping out the human race and they think you're worth sacrificing to find a cure. Well, I don't."

Katri was watching everyone as Thomas grips her hand gently as she looks at him. She then glanced over and saw her other best friend seeing him glancing at a group of kids. What she didn't know was that he was looking for her. Thomas had informed him that she was there, but Minho wasn't. It wasn't easy for him to find her. Katri was in the middle of a large group of kids and the ones in-between her and Newt, were pretty tall. Just then, she had lost sight of him, and her attention went back to Vince.

"So, in two days when we get this tub of rust seaworthy" Vince continues, motioning to a large, rusted ship. "We're getting the hell outta here. We're gonna go to a place where W.I.C.K.E.D will never find you. A place you can start over. A place you can call home."

Everyone started cheering once Vince said that, but Katri wasn't. She now knew that W.I.C.K.E.D still had Minho and even though she just got back, she needs to get him back home safe with the rest of them.

She turns to Thomas, and he turns to her grabbing her waist and then spins her around making her smile and they hug tightly when he finally set her down. "Thomas..." He looks down at her. "Am I living in a dream?"

"No, Kat, you're not..." Thomas assured her touching his forehead against hers once more. "You're not dreaming, you're here. You're safe now..." Katri gently smiles as a lone tear falls down her face.

"I'm so glad..." She closes her eyes. He then leans away and takes a look at her face a little closer seeing some minor cuts and has bags under her eyes as if she hasn't slept in months. "I'm so glad this is real..."
