*NEWT*

I grabbed hold of her hand "are you okay?" I asked courntey, rubbing my thumb gently over the back of her hand. "Perfectly fine newt" she answered, a little with tension.

I still hadn't gotten use to her hiding her hair away.She was wolfing down the food which had been given to us. We had spent the week nearly starving, so did all the other gladers. We had been sleeping next to eachother since we had been rescued by WICKED.

All of a sudden she starts shaking her head and runs out of the room. After a few minutes I followed after her. We were trying to keep a low profile that Courtney was a girl. We even fooled WICKED into thinking she was a boy.

I heard what sounded like bloody puking sounds. We were the only ones out here. except for Tommy and minho, who were in another room. I walked into the room and the noises became louder.

It was coming from the bathroom. "Hey Courtney, are you okay?" I said while knocking on the door, it slowly creaked open. Her head was hovering over the bowl and she was in a 'c' shape. I rushed to get some tissue paper and sat down beside her.

"Yeah I'm fine, I guess I just ate too fast." She said after flushing the toilet. I passed her the tissue and she wiped her mouth with it. Giving me a weak smile. I walked by her side while we headed to where all the food was.

There was man there. Tommy was banging on invisible glass and trying to get the man's attention. Tommy finally did but I couldn't hear what the man was saying. Tommy slumped against the wall, minho on one side.

I signalled Courtney to sit somewhere near me, I didn't trust her around some of these shucks. I took my place next to Tommy. And listened to what the rat-man had to say.

We ain't bloody out of hell yet.
