Spinning me around to face him, our lips touch and move in sync. Kissing Newt made all your worries go away like you were free from pain, but then reality comes and you realize you live in the Glade. Where all your troubles never go away.
Rose is se...

The next morning I woke up in my hammock, I turned over to get out and a sharp pain went through my back. I decided I should go see Clint and Jeff. I went straight to the Med-jacks hut and found the two of them standing there.
"Hi Rose." Jeff said. "What brings you here?"
"My back, I fell on it yesterday when I was fighting Gally. Newt said he thought it was bruised but he said I should see you." I replied.
"Well let me have a look." Jeff said lifting my shirt and running his finger down my spine like Newt did last night. "Holy crap Rose!"
"What?" I asked anxiously.
"Whatever you did last night really messed up your back." He said letting the shirt fall back down. "Your spine is completely black and bruised. I don't know exactly what it is but I don't want you to use your back a lot."
"And how am I supposed to do that?" I asked sarcastically.
"Just take it easy and come back if it gets really bad." He said, and I nodded leaving the hut.
I found Newt in the gardens with the new Greenie. They hadn't noticed me so I pulled on my hood and pretend to be working right beside them, listening to they're conversation.
"Can't we climbed to the top of the walls?" Thomas asked Newt.
"Tried that. The ivy doesn't go all the way up." Newt said not looking up from his work. "And plus where are you going to go from there."
"What about the box?" He asked
"Tried that it won't go back down with someone in it." He said.
"Well how about...."
"We tried it twice. Anything you can think of we tried." Newt cut him off. "The only way out is through the maze."
"He's right the maze is the only way." I chimed in pulling off my hood. They both looked at me confused.
"Since when have you been there?" Newt asked looking at me.
"Me?" I asked sarcastically. "I've been here since the beginning of your conversation. Greenie you sure do ask a lot of questions. Look if you want to be useful go get some more fertilizer." I said knelling down picking up a bucket and tossing it to him. He nodded and walked off into the woods. I stood back up and winced in pain, I looked up at Newt who was looking at me with a look of worry.
"Love, did you go see Clint and Jeff?" He asked.
"Yeah, this morning." I answered.
"What'd they say?" He asked walking towards me.
"Well see for yourself." I said turning around and lifted my shirt. He let out a hiss as he placed a hand on my back.
"Looks painful, it's all black and bruised." He said, I let the my shirt fall back down and turned to face him.
"They said for me to take it easy since they don't know what's quite wrong." I said looking into his brown eyes.
"I hate to see you like this." He said pulling me into a hug.
"It's not your fault." I said comforting him. "I'll be better soon." I kissed his cheek, before I heard screaming, from the forest. I pushed out of Newt's arms and ran in that direction. I saw Thomas running with Ben at his tail chasing him, he looked pale with bloodshot eyes and knew immediately he was Stung.
"Thomas what happened?!" I screamed at him as we ran towards each other. Thomas was tackled to the ground by Ben, I reached them and pushed Ben off. He rolled off with a groan, his head snapped in my direction. "Ben stop! I don't want to hurt you!"
"I saw you both!" He yelled spitting at both off us. "I'll kill you!" He jumped on me pushing me to the ground sending a hot wave of pain through my back. My vision was getting splotchy as he strangled me with his hands clasping my neck. I heard Newt yell and the weight on top of me was lifted. My vision faded into blackness.
