• Hailey's P.o.V •

"Thomas, go to the other side while I pull on this side." Minho said.

I had tear after tear after tear falling down my face. The metal claw dug deeper right above my knee as Thomas pulled.

"Thomas stop!" I cried.

"Sorry, sorry." He pulled back and looked at my face. "You'll be ok."

"C'mon you shuck Griever!" Minho cried and continued pulling.

I cried as he tried and he motioned Thomas to try again and I felt it let go some so I moved myself to the side towards Minho slowly.

"That's it nice and slow, Hailey." He encouraged.

I moved completely and they let it snap down and Thomas climbed over it to me.

"You're gonna be ok, Hailey. Just hang on for a couple more hours."

"We need to get out of here." I said.

"You can be ca-"

"-No, I can run." I started slowly getting up.

"You've lost a lot of blood already." Thomas said.

"And I'll loose more tryin' to get out of here. Now help me Tommy."

He nodded and him and Minho helped me up and I put my arms around their shoulders and we hobbled down the corridor. I felt fresh blood run down my leg as we moved further down into the corridor. Soon, we heard moaning and the smell of motor oil filled my nose.

"No no." I whispered.

"We've got this ok? It's not gonna hurt us." Minho said.

"We won't leave you behind either." Thomas smiled.

• Newt's P.o.V •

"Chuck, can you convince Frypan into giving you a cup of water for Newt?" Spencer asked as I continued to freak out.

He nodded before getting up and walking to Homestead.

"Something happened. That was a bloody scream and I guarantee it was Hailey." I took in shaky breaths as I held my knees to my chest.

"Newt, calm down ok? Knowing Thomas he isn't gonna let anything happen to her ok?" She said calmly.

"I can't help but to think that something happened and they just left her to get eaten by the Grievers." I looked at her.

"Thomas wouldn't let that happen." She shook her head.

"Minho wouldn't either." Chuck finally came back.

"Chucky, how're you so calm? You said yourself they're like your best friends. How're you so bloody calm?" I grabbed the cup.

"Because I know Minho won't give up on them. Hailey seems tough and Thomas well he'll just do anything to survive. You can tell by his stupid personality." He shrugged.

I pursed my lips and looked back at the Homestead and Spencer leaned her head on my shoulder.

"What if they don't make it?" She asked. "And I don't get to reunite with them."

"They'll try to make it. They have a good few hours before the doors open but they'll make it hopefully. Oh and don't get your bloody hopes up because you know they're gonna be just like me where I was bloody confused. So if Tommy rejects it don't get upset, yeah?"

She nodded and snuggled closer into my side so I just placed my arm around her because everyone needs a little snuggle every once in awhile.

"C'mon Chucky." I patted the spot and he sat down.
