After the med-jacks had desinfected my cut, and there was a clean bandage on top of it, Newt and I grabbed some food and when we sat down we heared panicked screams. A couple of boys were running towards us.

'What's going on?' Newt and I stood up. I saw Teresa, Thomas and Chuck running out of the homestead.
Newt and I ran towards them.

The boys stopped when they were at us. 'What's going on? We heared screams.' Teresa asked.
'The doors. They aren't closing.' They ran through the door of the homestead.

'What...?' I said. Everywhere boys were running, all of them were in panic.

'Come on, into the homestead. All of you.' Newt said, with a calm voice, but I saw panic in his eyes. He put his hand on my back, and gave me a little push towards the door.

'Where are you going?' I asked him, and turned around to face Newt.

'I have to find Alby.'

'I'm staying with you.'

'Please, Rose, just go.' He gave me a kiss on my cheek that wasn't injured and he left.

'Come on, Rosalie.' Teresa said. She took my hand, pulling me with her. I watched Newt run away from me, going into the forest. I almost fell over because Teresa was running towards the homestead, pulling me with her. I got onto my feet and ran next to her, even though I really wanted to go with Newt. But he didn't want me to... Probably to protect me, but what if something really bad happened to him?
We ran into the homestead, as far as we could. A couple of other boys followed us, including Minho and Winston. Twenty boys or so were already there. We all stood there, frightened. I wasn't afraid of the Grievers, but I was afraid something terrible would happen to Newt.

A sharp sound, going through the Glade. A high shriek. The Grievers were coming. Minho walked over to us.'Where is Newt?' He asked me, his voice sounded lightly panicked.
'He's looking for Alby.'
Minho looked down and shook his head. 'This can't be happening.'

Teresa took my hand again. 'It'll be fine... He'll be fine.' She said. I looked at her. 'Thanks, Teresa.'

I heared the Griever sounds again, people were yelling. Screams full of terror.
I heared something jump onto the rooftop, a Griever. Dust came down, and the creature moved over the roof. It stopped, and a big, long thing came through the wooden roof. It was it's arm, I thought. It reached out and it gripped a boy. The boy screamed while the Griever pulled him away from the room. We all ran to the other side of the room. More sounds on the roof. Another arm went through it, pulling away another boy. Everyone looked up to the ceiling, terrified. But the griever had gone away, I didn't hear sounds on the roof anymore.

Then I heared people scream outside. Newt.

I didn't think, I just began running. I had to protect Newt. 'Rosalie!' Thomas screamed.
I turned around, Teresa still held my hand, trying to keep me there. I tried to push here away.
'I have to find him. I have to save him.' I struggled but Teresa's grip was strong. 'Let go of me! I have to go outside and I.. Have.. To.. Find.. Newt.'

A small voice from behind me. 'I thought I told you to stay here.' I turned around and saw Newt. Teresa let go and I ran towards him, hugging him. 'You're safe!'
I heared him cry.
'Wait... What's wrong?' I let go so I could see his face.

He turned himself to the whole group. 'Alby is dead.'
