  I was in the box again. I was in the... dark. I started panicking. It was moving, just like the first time.

"No, no, no! Get me out! Help!" I shouted while banging my fists into the box.

  My breathing was getting fast. Where was it taking me?! I started to feel around the box. I knew it was hopeless, so I sat down. Suddenly everything faded. I was in a lab. My blood was being drawn. I looked around and saw several things of blood in tubes next to me.Then a man came in. He looked so familiar... dad?! I didn't know how I knew that, but I knew for sure he was my father.

He had rat like features, which thank gods I didn't inherit. His hair and facial hair looked like they were sprinkled in salt and pepper. I noticed he had a little cut above his eyebrows, but I decided not to ask.

"Hey sweetie how's it going?"

"Well considering the the fact you put my friends in a gigantic greiver infested maze, horrible." He sighed and looked at me.

"Well then what I have to tell you will not make you any happier." He stated.

"What?" I asked, furiously.

"Newt's dead." And by those words I screamed and cried. Then that vision shifted. I was in the maze.

  It was... night. Shuck. I was running and before I turned a corner a greiver came at me. I screamed and ran the other way. Next thing I knew Gally was behind me and ran in front of me. He pushed me down and the greiver's claw grabbed him.

"No!" I screamed. The greiver took him.

"Luna!"

  I woke up in sweat. It felt like I couldn't breathe. I sat up quickly. Nick, Alby, and Clint stood in my room. Nick was kneeled by my bed and Alby was leaned against the wall with a worried expression. Clint was yelling orders to... I think Jeff. But... where was Newt. And Gally. My breathing was now faster and I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest.

"Luna! Luna, slow down! Breathe!" Nick said, trying to calm me. "What's the matter?"

"Get... Newt and...... Gally." Was all I could manage. Clint shouted at Jeff and then he ran downstairs to find one of them.

  I knew it would be hard for Newt to get up the stairs, but I needed to see him. Them! I tried calming myself, but I couldn't. What if Newt was dead? What if Gally was dead too?! 'Shut up, mind!'

"What th-, BLOODY HELL! What's wrong?!" Newt exclaimed as he hobbled over as fast as he could. Nick moved as Newt basically pushed him out of the way. Newt sat on the edge of the bed and wrapped me in his warm embrace.

"Your... alive! Thank... god!" I breathed out. My breathing was finally starting to slow. But, then. Gally! Where was Gally? I started to panic more.

"Hey... shhh. It's okay." Newt stroked my hair. 

  Then Gally walked in. He had a worried expression in his face.

"What's wrong with her?!" Gally asked.

"She's having a really bad panic attack." Alby said. Jeff came in the room with a rag and a bowl of water. He placed it on my nightstand and gave Newt the rag. Newt put the rag in the water and rung it out and placed it on my forehead.

  Gally came closer and Newt and him gave each other a look. Basically saying 'move', 'nope not happening' fine! I'll sit on this side of the bed.'

"It's okay. We're all here." Newt said softly. Gally took my hand and gave me a smile. It felt so hot in the room. My breathing had finally calmed down.

"Alright everyone clear out. Let's give her some space." Nick ordered. Jeff, Clint, Alby, and Nick all went out.

"What happened?" Gally asked, glaring at Newt, while Newt continued ring out the rag and put it in my forehead.

"I had a dream..." I said and told both of them the details. When I was done both looked very deep in thought.

"What could that mean?" Gally asked. I shrugged.

"How long was I out and why exactly was everyone in my room?" I asked.

"Well Jeff told me that Clint heard you screaming and saying stuff in your sleep. Then Nick and Alby heard cause they were in the gathering room." Newt summed up. "And you were out for most of the day. It's sundown now. Most of the gladers are already in bed."

"Klunk, I was out that long?" They both nodded. I sighed. "Is Minho still up?" I asked.

"Why? You afraid that he can't handle one day without you?" Gally asked.

"No. I know he can handle it, but I want to make sure that he didn't miss anything today." I said. We all jumped when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I said. The door opened and Minho came in.

"Speaking of the bloody devil." Newt said.

"Aww. You guys were talking about me? Were you talking about my good looks?" He joked. Gally rolled his eyes.

"You wish."

"So, did you find anything new?" I asked. His face got serious.

"Yeah. Something changed."

"What?!" We all said in unison.
