Elle's POV

               "Thanks blondie" I said to Newt as he tucked me into bed. Then I was back to sleep again.

(dreaming)

            "What do you want from me?! Get away from me!" I yelled as a man in a white lab coat came near me with an injection of some sorts. "Elle i'm going to need you to stay still." They said as they instructed some other people to tie me down. "No, I swear I didn't do anything, please!" I scream at them with tears running down my cheeks. "Please!"

            I woke in a cold sweat gasping for air, tears soaking my red hot cheeks. "God, just leave me alone!" I say covering my ears with my hands and pulling my knees up to my chest. "Hey, hey, greenie it's ok, you're ok. It was just a nightmare." Newt said, pulling me close into his chest. I broke down in his arms, allowing my tears to run free as I attempted to further bury my head into his chest. I could hear the sound of his heart beating at a steady and calm pace, which in turn calmed my own. He had his arms wrapped around me. One hand rubbing small circles on my back the other petting my hair, while his chin rests on my head. We just stayed there for a while, until my tears had finally subsided and my cries had been lulled to dull wimpers. "Elle..." I say quietly into his chest. "What?" he says loosening his grip on me to look me in the eyes. "Elle." I said a bit louder this time. "That's my name." the corners of his lips raised into a smile as he placed his forehead on mine. "Welcome to the glade Elle"
