"We've got a runner!!!" One of the boys shouted.

Minho had already left to get ready for his run, so Ben went after her instead.

"Bloody hell, she's leaving him in the dust."

Ben wasn't anywhere near gaining on her. Most of the boys hadn't even realised she left. It had only been a few seconds.

Luckily, another runner was by the door and ran at her, which caused her to change her route from the door and just start running through the glade.

Then her eyes caught the forest as she set her sights for it.

Y/n's POV:

God, what the hell am I doing? I don't even know. Running through the trees, I spotted a giant oak and started climbing.

Sitting in the tree, I hugged the bark and wished to wake up from whatever this was.

"-so we'll need to split up, the girls already got a gash in her hand and could het hurt," I heard a faint voice a bit from me.

"Group one, that way. Group two that way. Group three that way."

Sitting in the tree, I lay back, looking through the holes in the leaves at the sky.

I heard even more voices under me a few minutes later. "Well, what was I suppost to do."

"Be faster."

"Excuse you! I ran as fast as I could, only like 7 people saw her run, you weren't one of them, she's fast, I'll tell you."

"As if! She's a girl, stop making excuses," I scoffed from my tree.

"Would you two stop bloody bickering."

"What is it?"

"Shutup, you pilick," All of their voices seemed to die down to a whisper, which unsettled me very much.

It was complete silence only for the soft sounds of leaves brushing against one another. Until.
CRACK*

That wasn't me.

Poking my head over the side of the branch, I saw the top of someone's head right there in my face.

I jumped back as they placed one of their legs around the branch, then the other.

He let out a huff and looked up at me. It was the same boy from the box. "Well, hello there."

I looked around awkwardly before responding, "Hi," I sighed.

"So... I'm Newt." I started chuckling."What, what's wrong with the name newt."

"Nothing. Nothing. What, were Lizard and salamander taken like, " I started laughing halfway through the sentence.

"You don't seem half as scared as your actions show."

"Cuz I'm not."

"Then why'd you run."

"I don't know, seemed like the reasonable thing to do."

"Reasonable, how's that reasonable?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything. I'm running on instinct right now."

"Well, you wanna get down from here?"

"Not really." I looked over the edge to the other two that were on the ground, both the two that chased me.

"That's fine. You can stay up here as long as you want."

He started climbing back down the tree. "Where are you going?"
