11 years later~ Newt's POV
I walked downstairs to where my mum was sitting at the kitchen table reading a book and sipping on tea.
'Hey mum, can we talk?' I asked.
'Sure,' she looked up smiling.
'I was wondering why I'm not allowed to go into the woods.' Her smile dropped and she looked back down at her book and muttered,
'Our family is different,'
'Well why is our family different why don't you tell me anything!' I yelled annoyed.
'You will understand when you're older.' Dad butted in.
'I'm 16, how much older!' I looked around waiting for an answer, but they continued to their tasks as if I didn't say anything. We seemed to have this conversation everyday. When I was younger I accepted it, I thought my parents didn't trust the wildlife and were scared I'd get hurt. After I was 11 I didn't understand it anymore.
'Okay, well, why do you both suddenly leave at random times, like aren't business meetings supposed to be scheduled?' I interrogated.
'Go to bed newt, you're tired.' My dad said.
'No I'm no-' I stopped mid-sentence as a wave of fatigue washed over me. I walked back upstairs and sat on the top stair.
'When are we going to tell him?' I heard my mum ask my dad.
'I don't think we ever should.'
I got off of the stair quietly so I wouldn't be heard and dialed Thomas. 3 rings, nothing. I was about to hang up when he answered.
'Newt? Are you okay?' Thomas asked.
'Yeah why wouldn't I be?'
'Because it's 3 in the morning!' He yelled. I looked over at the clock.
'Oh,' I answered.
'But get dressed, we're going on an adventure.' I stated through a smirk.
'Newt! It's 3 am on a school night!'
'Since when do you care about school?' I asked sarcastically, and he groaned.
'I hate you.' He said
'No, you love me' I teased.
'Call Minho, but don't bring Teresa.' I said before hanging up.

Soon Thomas was at my door with a very pissed of Minho.
'Mum I'm going for a walk with Tommy, I'll be back later!' I called as I walked out. They wouldn't care what I did as long as I came back.
'So where are we going?' Minho asked, annoyance clear in his voice. I pointed over towards the woods that surrounded my house.
'Isn't that forbidden land for you?' Thomas asked worried.
'Yes, but they won't bloody tell me anything, so I want to explore for myself..... with you two.' I replied. I would be lying if I were to say I wasn't scared, but I needed answers. What could be so bad about the woods? Thomas snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to his chest.
'Are you sure about this? Your parents probably didn't want you to go in here for a reason.' Minho asked.
'Come on, we're going.' I said pushing them both ahead or me into the wall of branches.
'So what're we exactly looking for?' Thomas asked turning around to look at me. A sudden wave of dizziness hit me and I stumbled backward. Thomas held me up so I didn't fall,
'Sorry,' I apologized.
'Lets run instead.' Minho suggested.
'Okay sure,' Thomas answered. This seemed to be the dumbest idea anyone could think of, but we seemed to follow. I had this feeling like we were being watched but I didn't say anything. We ran for about 10 minutes before I tripped and fell. I tried to get up but I couldn't move. Minho and Thomas ran over to me.
' I - I can't m-move' I said, the pain from my ankle was too much.
Thomas put out a hand to help me up and I was just about to take it before a voice boomed through the trees.
'Ahh, the son of the banshee and the ziz, what a special combination, I was wondering how long it would take you to come into the woods.' Creatures that I've never heard or seen in my worst nightmares surrounded us.
'Just a hint, you've made a big mistake.' The black shadow said before a cat walk out from behind him and rubbed against my ankle. This made me raise an eyebrow before I realized what was happening. I literally was unable to move. A big dog growled and bit Thomas's leg, his scream of pain was so loud I wouldn't doubt that the whole state heard him. It made me cringe.
'The woods are soundproof.' The shadow said. The dog let go of thomas and walked over to Minho, the dog circled around him as if looking for a good spot. The dog walked away without biting him and walked over to me.
'No! Not him! I take care of him!' The shadow yelled at the dog and went back to Minho biting him in the side. He also let out a loud scream. The shadow which now looked like a man walked up to me with a grin on his face.
'Now for you my dear' the man said in a very horrifying voice. His eyes turned pitch black and I made eye contact, that was a big mistake. His jaw looked like it was being dislocated as he screamed, he had very sharp pointed teeth that could kill someone easily. That was the last thing I remembered before black.
