You running in the maze. The doors were closed and you were all alone. The sounds of the shifting maze groaned and gridded. It was terrifying.

You skidded around a corner only to find your worst nightmare. There on the top of the wall, was Newt and just a couple of feet away was a Griever.

"Newt!" You yelled at the top of your lungs. Newt looked in the direction of the noise which gave the Griever an advantage. It made its move causing Newt to lose his balance.

He fell fast towards the ground and landed with a small thud.

"Newt!" You raced to his side. He was losing blood fast. Gently, you took his head in your lap and cradled it.

You sobbed. "I'm sorry, baby."

Newt looked at you. "It's...all...your... fault." And then his eyes closed and he stopped breathing.

"Newt?" You shook him. "Newt!!!" You sobbed more. "I-I-I'm s-so sorry, Newtie."

"It's all you fault!" The words kept repeating in your head. A grinding noise came from behind. The Griever.

"I'm so sorry Newt!" You hugged his lifeless body as the Griever came closer and closer until it struck.

You woke up in a cold sweat and you were breathing hard. Everything was shaking.

Everything was okay. Newt still slept beside you and nothing seemed wrong.

Carefully, you got up to freshen up. You walked into the bathroom and closed the door. You stared at the mirror. You looked terrible. After several deep breaths you splashed water on your face and returned to your bedroom.

When you arrived you saw Newt sitting up. "Love, what's the matter."

You sat back down. "I-it's nothing, baby." You kissed his head.

"Are you sure it's nothing?" He gently stroked your face.

You nodded but teared up then shook your head and jumped into Newt's arm sobbing in his chest. Newt wrapped his arms around you tightly. "I-I killed you Newt."

"Shh, it was only a nightmare. It wasn't real." He cradled you as you cried. "Do you want to tell me about it?" He whispered sweetly in your ear.

Slowly, you told him everything. "You didn't do it. I'm here now. Everything's okay." He gently rocked you softly humming as you cried until you fell asleep.
