DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN TMR :-( IF I DID NEWT WOULDN'T DIE

Belle POV:

The boy's face was bright red and his hands were clenched so tight that his knuckles were white. He pointed to me and Newt.

"You two better explain what the hell this..." He held out the paper and pointed to it. "...Means"

"Gally calm down," Newt said, trying to calm the boy down but it didn't work. Before anyone could react Gally threw me to the ground and I hit my head against the floor.

"I knew we couldn't trust her. She's a spy working for the Creators!" He shouted I looked around to see a large crowd of boys surrounding us. We were getting quite an audience. Just as I start to sit up, I saw Gally move to kick me down again, but Newt blocked his path.

"Leave her alone Gally!" I heard Newt shout, still standing protectively in front of me.

"And you we're supposed to be able to trust you." He threw the note in Newt's face "But I guess we were wrong"

"Gally just calm down we haven't done anything wrong she woke up with that in her pocket."

"How can you trust a single word she says?" Gally said this time he was shouting

"I do Gally I trust her. I trust her a lot more than I trust you."

Newt and Gally were in each other's space staring hate into each others eyes. A little pit formed in my stomach for having pulled Newt into this. But he trusts me. I smiled inwardly knowing if I smiled on the outside, I'd probably get kicked over again and lose a tooth. I didn't want that. Gally was about to shout something else to Newt but was interrupted by a deep voice

"Stop!" We all turned to see Alby "We have more important things to worry so stop fighting. Whatever is going on we talk about it in a Gathering. You two Shanks are the faces of our Keepers and your losing it over some girl you just met. Looks like the Greenie's hit her head so Newt go get Clint and Jeff, while Gally go do your job. Any problems with the Greenie can be brought up tonight in the Gathering."

Newt nodded slowing, his eyes downcast. Alby looked at him for a few seconds before looking away. He clapped the blonde on the back before walking away.

Newt helped me to my feet we noticed Gally still standing us. If looks could kill we'd be dead in a second

"Belle, Newt stay away from me unless you want me to tell our brave leader what was on that note and then he'd have to deal with his precious second in command keeping secrets from him." He turned to leave but before he did he went over where Newt had stood and picked up the crumpled piece of paper and gave it to me. "You might want this Greenie," He said harshly then turned and walked away.

Newt walked me over to the Med-Jack hut.

He looked "Where the hell is Jeff and Clint?" He turned back to me and helped me onto the bed "I have to go to the Gardens, I told Zart I'd help him today. One of his Gardeners recently got position as Runner so not got enough people around."

"Newt, wait."

He turned back to me. "Yeah?"

"Thanks for sticking up for me. You didn't have to."

"Of course I bloody did." He stepped closer to me. "You don't know what Gally is capable of," he whispered in my ear and a shiver ran down my spine

"Do you trust me?" I asked

"Yeah," He answered I searched his eyes for any chance of him lying but I saw none.

"Thank you," I said then kissed his cheek. Then instantly regretted it when I pulled away.

Newt's cheeks had reddened a little

"You should...go to the Gardens," I said

"Yeah I'll, uh, see you later," he walked out of the room.

My mind wondered back to the piece of paper in my pocket, just as I was about to pull it out and read it,Chuck's head pocked through the door.

"Hey Greenie."

^0^

Jeff one of the two Med-Jacks checked me over and saw that I had nothing wrong with me I'd just be a little dizzy for a while. Chuck had to go back to work so I spent the rest of my day sitting at the bottom of a tree in the Deadheads.

Where was Newt? He needed to come back. What was taking him so long?

But my mind kept on going back the piece of paper in my pocket. I had nearly pulled it out twice today I needed something to keep my mind of it. My head resting at the bottom of the bark my eye lids felt heavy as they slowly closed

^0^

I opened my eyes to see Newt his eyes fixed on a crumpled up piece of paper it took a second to realise it was the note

"Hey," I said while yawning

"Hey," He whispered, his voice void of any real emotion. His eyes still fixed on the note it. He looked as though he'd never seen it before. Yet, he had. I'd seen him read it before.

"Newt," I said, trying to get him to look at me but his eyes still were fixed on the paper in his hands. "Newt would you look at me." His eyes slowly moved to mine. "What's wrong?" I nodded towards the note.

He sighed heavily "I found it on the ground so I thought I'd look at it again but this wasn't here before."

"What wasn't there before?" I asked he held it out to me I hesitantly took it from him and read:

No matter what you hear, see, remember you have to trust me

That was in my handwriting, but what I saw next was really weird in bold red letters that was slightly smudged it said:

SHE CANNOT BE TRUSTED

The handwriting seemed so familiar but I didn't know where from. The name was right there at the tip of my brain I just had to reach out enough the grasp it. Got it.

Before I could stop myself the name came flying out my mouth

^0^

Sorry if I disappointed with what was on the Note...
