A/n: This is a warning that this chapter contains violence and gore/blood. 

~Newt POV~

I was at dinner with Thomas, Minho and Chuck, looking at the empty spot next to Chuck that used to be occupied. The three of them were chatting, while I was thinking to myself. I don't know what happened, but even since that night a couple of weeks ago, she has been ignoring us. I don't know if I did anything or if something happened. I am really worried about her. 

'Have any of you guys talked to Y/n recently?' I asked the group once it was quiet. They all shook their heads in response

'The only people who have talked to her recently are Frypan and the Greenie, Ace.' replied Chuck

'Why is she talking to Ace but not us?' I questioned

'You jealous Newt?' Minho snickered

'I am not jealous, I am worried. It is not like her to completely ignore us.'

'Maybe you shank should go talk to her, then tell us.' suggested Thomas

'No, she is avoiding us for a reason. I just need to know what that reason is.'

We left the subject as the three of them kept talking about something else. I waited awhile until I saw Ace and Y/n walking out of the kitchen, going in the direction of the Deadheads.

This is my opportunity. 

I waited for a couple of minutes before leaving the table as I felt the groups gaze on me. I knocked on the wooden door of the kitchen, letting Frypan know I was there.

'Hi Newt. How are you?'

'Hey Frypan. Good, how about you?'

'Yeah, good thanks.'

'Is Y/n okay? Do you know why she has been avoiding us?'

'Y/n is fine.'

'That is a lie. We both know it is.' I countered. Frypan put the sponge down to face me. A serious look the covered my face was mimicked on his.

'Newt, as much as I am dying to tell you, I can't, I am sorry.'

'You can tell me; you are just choosing not to.'

~Your POV~

Ace and I were walking towards the deadheads. After we finished dinner, Frypan told us to go to the Deadheads and teach Ace everything he needs to know about control his powers, while he cleans up dinner. Once we got to the deep part of the Deadheads. We started talking about how to control his powers. 

'I need you to get angry. This way you can learn to control your powers.'

'I will turn into a bloodthirsty animal. What if I lose control and can't bring myself back.'

'Then I will bring you back.' I said, while producing fire in my hand, showing him. He stared at my hand in awe, shocked by my abilities. Honestly, I was uncertain myself if I had the strength to bring him back, but I had to convince him even if it meant myself not being convinced.

'Come on, get angry.'

'I can't.'

'Think about the fact that you are stuck in the middle of deadly maze with almost a certainty of death. Think about the people that put you in here. The people who separated you from your family.' I said, his eyes turned a violent shade of yellow as fangs and claws emerged. 

Ace darted to me and jumped on me. We both fell back, as he started attacking me. 

'CONTROL YOURSELF!' I reminded him as I fought him off me. He didn't stop attacking as he roared at me, clawing at my neck, leaving a trail of crimson red.

'ACE, LISTEN TO ME! CONTROL YOURSELF! FIND SOMETHING!' I yelled as wrapped his hands around my neck, choking me while pressing his claws into my skin. I felt his claws piercing the layer of skin, as I screamed in pain. I grabbed his arms, prying them off my skin, not without going in for a punch in the eye. I felt his knuckles had contact with my eyeball as blood started dripping down from the surrounding bone area and my nose. I had no choice but to fight back if I wanted to see tomorrow. 

I felt my eyes turning orange as fire erupted from all over my body forcing Ace of my body from the heat. That didn't stop him from trying to attack me again. This time I was prepared as I erupted into a human fireball, scaring Ace off. Making him return into his human form. He looked at me in horror as he saw the blood running down from my nose, eye and mouth. His eyes finally landed on my neck which was painted in red with deep scratches and handprints coating it. The world started feeling dizzy as I fell, darkness consuming me.

~Ace POV~

I was ashamed of myself as I rushed to Y/n as she collapsed. I knew that I was the reason she was so hurt like this, but I had no choice than to bring her to Frypan. I picked her up as her white t-short became a puddle of blood, seeping in from her neck. I ran into the kitchen careful of her injuries. I arrived to be met with not only Frypan but Newt too, luckily, he was facing the opposite way. I made eye contact with Frypan as he registered what was lying motionless in my arms. He quickly sprinted to me, grabbing her out of arms, resting her on the table. Newt looked around quickly as his gaze rested on the bloodied, unconscious girl, who I might have killed.
