Aurora POV
I was really enjoying the bonfire, it was nice to hang with everyone again, reminded me of old times I just wished Chuck, Alby, Winston and everyone else had made it.

"You alright, love?" Newt asked, sitting next to me on a bench that was placed against one of the stone walls.

"Yeah, just thinking about something," I told him. "And no, I don't want to talk about it."

"Well, I don't know what your thinking and you don't really wanna talk about it, but do you want to dance?" Newt asked, putting his drink down, standing up and putting his hand out for me to take.

Knowing full well that there wasn't any music, I sighed and put my drink down before taking his hand with a growing smile. He lead me next to the fire and snaked his arms around my waist while I rested mine around his neck. Lilly and Thomas copied our movements and Minho and Gally decided to mock us, over-exaggerating what we were doing.

"Your very pretty in this light," Newt whispered, as we slowly rocked to no music.

"Thank you, Newtie," I responded calmly, blushing a bit.

Newt's arms snaked further around my waist, pulling me into a hug which I quickly returned. I swear I felt someone's eyes in the back of my head, so I pulled away and turned around...but there was no one there.

"What's wrong Aura?" Newt asked, stopping his swaying motion.

"I thought I-never mind," I replied, shaking my head. "I'm going to slip out ok. I just wanna chill on the beach for an hour or two."

Newt eyed me before nodding.

"Careful, love, I can't have you being attacked or anything else serious," he whispered, kissing my cheek and letting me go.

"I'll be careful," I responded, walking over to grab my drink and leave.

I snuck out of the new glade and crept through the street down to the beach. My eyes glowed to give me more light, making it easier to walk and not bump into anything. I followed the path we'd taken to the beach a while ago and before I knew it, I had arrived at the beach.

"It's so pretty," I mumbled to myself, taking a swig of Gally's drink.

It tasted a bit off but I didn't pay attention to it, convincing myself it was just because I left it for a bit and didn't drink it fast enough. I placed myself down on the sand with the drink between my knees. I sighed and took another swig, only to cough afterwards. I cleared my throat and started humming an unknown melody, tapping my fingers rhythmically on the glass as the waves lapped the shore and wind blew the hair out of my face, picking up the sea salt smell as it went. Another swig, another wave, another cough. The process continued till I was almost finished with the drink, and that's when I felt a bit dizzy.

"Ugh, my head," I mumbled, putting the drink down beside me and clutching my head with both hands.

I heard sand move behind me and whipped my pounding head to see if anyone was there...but no one was.

"Who's there?!" I called out, sending a message to Lilly as I did.

Come meet me at the beach, someone else is here and I feel terrible. Bring Newtie and Tommy.

I waited for her reply, searching the beach behind me as my eyes lit up.

We're coming, sit tight. Lilly's reply came.

Suddenly I was grabbed and pulled up from my sitting position.

"Well hello there missy, long time no see," A recognisable voice sounded through my head.
