I clung onto Newt's chest as he whispered reassuring things into my ear.

"Newt, I'm really scared."
"It's going to be okay love. I won't let them take you."

The first sentence was unbelievable, his voice shook like multicolored autumn leaves being blown by the cool, fall wind; but, I couldn't be so sure about the second sentence.

It seemed he genuinely meant it, but could he really protect me?

No one really could.

In fact, no one could help any of us; we're helpless. All we can do is stand around and wait for a griever to snatch up another one of us.

They already took Zart and Gally, and plenty of others yesterday; I mean, although I haven't talked to any of them much, it hurt to seem them go; like I could've helped one of them.

I hate this feeling, I hate having to watch my friends get taken by horrendous creatures and not be able to do anything besides stand and watch.

I hate the feeling I get every time a griever pops in and searches for a soul to take.

The way they crawl around and reach their mechanical arms in the homestead, wondering who they'll take next,

thinking I could be one of them.

I've never felt anything worse.

The numbers were lessening and soon all of us would surely be gone.

We were all just waiting to hear that whirring noise, hoping all of us could make it one more night.

But of course, one had to go.

"Thomas c'mere."

Newt gently pushed me off of his chest as he spoke to Thomas quietly.

I attempted to eavesdrop, but only picked up a few words:

"Grievers.....soon....take....slammer....safe."

Thomas nodded and made eye contact with me. "C'mon Y/N."

My gaze flickered from Newt to Thomas, confusion and anxiety overwhelming me.

"W-why? Newt are you--"

Newt, where is he taking me? Why aren't you coming?

(Yes you and Newt are telepathic awesome sauce ik dream come true)

To the slammer Y/N, at least I know you'll be safe there.

But what about you? I-I don't wanna go! I wanna stay with you.

It'll be alright love Trust me.

But--

I'll be there soon, hopefully, I have to move everyone to a safer place.

"Talking to Newt?" Thomas asked quizzically; I nodded.

"Don't worry, the slammer's the safest place to be, plus I'm with you."

He cracked a soft smile and nudged my arm with a fist.

"You're staying with me, right?"

"Of course! Newt wouldn't let me leave you alone, plus, I wouldn't even if I had a choice."

I let out a soft giggle as Thomas and I jumped into the slammer, keeping it unlocked for Newt.

"I don't think I've ever been so scared." I stuttered.

"I don't think I've ever felt so alive." Thomas announced.

"Huh?"

"We're safe in here Y/N, and Newt will be here any second, don't you worry dear."

"Dear?"

Love, I'm coming. Open the slammer, the buggers are already out.

Newt please be careful!

"Is he okay?" Thomas asked.

"Open the slammer!"

Thomas quickly opened the door and Newt jumped in.

He winced and held his ankle for a second before he sat down on the crooked old chair.

"Are you okay Newt?"

I asked, glancing at his ankle.

"Of course I am, I'm with you and you're safe. Why wouldn't I be okay?"

I smiled and his his big hands pulled my face to his. Our lips made contact and our eyes shut, blocking everything out.

"Aww. Guys, that's cute and all, but like, could ya not do that now?"

Newt and I exchanged an expression and laughed. "Just go to sleep Tommy."

I had never felt so at peace before.
