This chapter is pretty short and there is page 250 from the books in this one, for a nightmare :| idk why I chose it from the books, probably cuz I already used a bit of it from the movie. 

But yay! Another update! 

If anyone is even reading this book... hehe

"Kill me or I'll kill you. Kill me! Do it!"

"Newt..."

"Do it before I become one of them!"

"I-"

"KILL ME!" Newt's eyes cleared, as if he had gained one last trembling gasp of sanity, and his voice softened. "Please Tommy." He begged, his voice dropping to a low whisper, "Please."

Thomas closed his eyes, his heart falling into a black abyss. He pulled the trigger.

Thomas then heard Newt's body fall to the street.

---

Thomas woke up, quickly sitting up. He looked to his side, feeling for Newt or Newt's bed, but neither was there, "What the shuck?" Thomas muttered.

In fact, his hammock was the only thing in that room.

He then stood up, leaving the room, looking for everyone else.

He left the sleeping tent, turning the corner and running into someone.

"Sorry I was- Newt?"

Newt looked up, "Hello Thomas."

Thomas froze, Newt was a crank.

And behind Newt was everyone else. They were all cranks.

---

Thomas shot up in a cold sweat, panting heavily and crying.

He instantly turned, feeling for Newt's bed beside his hammock.

He sighed, relief flooding him when he felt it.

As his eyes adjusted, he saw Newt's slim figure curled up, laying under the blankets.

Thomas then let out a couple sobs, then climbing off his hammock and kneeling by Newt's bed.

"Newt." He whispered, slightly shaking the boy.

Newt then stirred, letting out a small groan, "Tommy?" He asked groggily.

"Y-Yeah." Thomas stuttered, a sob escaping his lips.

Newt's eyes shot open when he heard the boy crying, "What happened Tommy?"

"I h-had a N-Nightmare." Thomas said, a couple more sobs escaping his lips.

Newt then pulled Thomas onto his bed, right up against him. He wrapped his arms around Thomas' body, letting Thomas bury his face into Newt's chest and cry.

"I'm s-sorry." Thomas told Newt in a quiet voice.

Newt rubbed circles on Thomas' back, "Shh, love. It's okay." Newt whispered softly, causing Thomas to calm down a bit.

Soon enough they both drifted off to sleep again.

Sorry that it was short, I had the idea in my head, then once I wrote it I realized it was way shorter than I thought...
