Nick had a troubling look on his face. "What do you mean, Newt?" Newt looked at Div, who looked a little worried. "Alright, Nick. We need to talk to you in private. Where no one can hear us. Cmon." Newt and Div led Nick out of the Homestead and towards the forest.

"So, where are we going?"

"You'll see."

Div got ahead of Newt, and Nick seemed to realize Newt had a slight limp. "Hey, Newt, why are you li-" Div cut him off. "We're almost here" she said. They walked deep into the forest, pushing past branches and leaves. Div pushes one branch down, revealing a small wooden hut. She let them through, than let go of the branch making it launch back.

"What is this place?"

Newt responded. "It's a little place in the forest we go when we want to talk in private. cmon." They walked over, and Div opened the door. She let them in, and closed the door locking it.

"Okay, so why did you take me here?"

Div gave Newt a look, and he went over to a bookshelf, looking through the books. He finally grabbed a book, flipping it in the air catching it. He put it on the table, and all three of them surrounded it. He opened it to a page, and a picture of what seems to be a werewolf was on it.

"Why are you showing me this?"

Div sighed, and looked at him.

"We think you are... A werewolf."

Nick rolled his eyes, and his voice rose.

"You think I'm a WEREWOLF? Your wasting my time..." Nick went to walk out, but Newt grabbed him.

"Please... Just look at this."

Nick sighed, and turned around. Div pointed to some text. "Healing. You fell from the top of the wall, and lived. All your injuries are gone. How is that possible? It isn't. Not for a human." Newt flipped the page. He pointed to glowing eyes. "Glowing eyes. Yellow. The same thing you have."

Nick looked at him confused. "Uhh, dude. That never happened... Nor will it ever! I'm not a wer-" Newt cut him off. "When you were sleeping, your eyes opened. And they were yellow... Nick sighed. "I don't care about this. It could have luck I healed! You guys could have been hallucinating about the yellow eyes! You live in a giant square box! I won't believe this until I get proof."

Div slammed the book shut. She rose her voice. "Fine? Want proof?! Bring us to where you fell from. I'll show you proof!" Nick rose his voice. "Fine! I'll show you! But I don't know what proof you are going to get out of it..." Nick stormed out of the house. Div got her bow, and put her arrows in her quiver.

"What are you doing?" Newt asked. "We aren't fighting, we are just making sure he is a werewolf" Div went up to him, whispering. "Tonight is a full moon...." Newt lowered his voice.

"So?"

"Werewolves go crazy on full moons. And if he is one, he will kill us. And the gladers. Another reason I don't like werewolves..."

Newt asked "Why do you need your bow?"

Div walks toward the door. "He will kill us all. Us, the gladers. We can't afford to lose anyone else. So if he tries anything... I'm going to kill him."
