Eternal (A Newt Fanfic)

Chapter 5

I realised I couldn't kill her. I'm not that sort of person. I start walking off when I hear a whispering followed by the sound of loud arguing. I know nobody will hear them. It's late at night and the bathrooms are at the opposite end of the Glade to the homestead. I decided to leave them to it and not tell anyone. As I'm leaving however, I here the sound of slapping. I throw my knife at the ground and sprint back being as quiet as I can. Teresa is clutching her cheek which is red and inflamed. Teresa smiles. I can get you banished for that. I can go and tell Newt right now and get ypu banished. Mickhal's eyes widen. He grabs his runners knife and plunges it into her. She sinks to the ground a pool of her own blood. I run terrified away from the bathroom I'm exhausted but there's no way I'm going to be able to sleep after that. I allow my workaholic nature to take over and I work in the map room until I fall asleep on top of the pile of maps. I'm awoken the next morning by Newt running in, tears streaming down his face. She's dead. Teresa's dead.

I try my best to look sad for him but he collapsed on the floor in what looks like a fit. I run over to him and help him up. "Do you want to have a funeral for her?" I say when he sits up. He looks confused. "Why would we need a funeral? Who died?" I reply feeling beyond confused, "Teresa's" His responce chills me to the bone. "Who's Teresa?"
