There will be a lot of back and forth in this one, so fair warning!

I had to leave early. This is my fight. Not anyone else's.
I left everything intended for everyone else in the box with a note that said:
"I'm sorry Newt. Really."

I walk up to the maze right before it closes, really thinking what Newt will think when I do this.
"Sorry Newt. Really."
I whisper, repeating myself before walking in.

Newt POV
"She what?!?!"
Gally screamed in my face as I explained what had happened. Or, what I had seen at least.
"You bloody well heard me! She went off without anybody!"

I'm starting to panic, but to be honest I'm not surprised.
She's really independent, and knows I'm needed here.
But, I can't help but feel like I've failed, knowing she's out there without me.

But, I also know all I can do at this point, is wish her well.
And, maybe try to sleep.
Because I'm going to find my baby sister as soon as I can.

Lizzy's POV

Well, that was bloody... well, bloody!
Not my blood!
But, I can definitely say there are a few less Grievers in the world now.
Didn't know I was this good with a sword!
I mostly tried to sneak around as much as I could, basically staying hidden most of the time.

I finally get to the cliff.
Well, all or nothing.
Back up a bit, and then I hear that nasty, sound. And that smell that will never not nauseate me. 
A Griever starts coming towards me.

So, I take off in a sprint.
Going as fast as I can make my legs go, and then some.
*click*.Wait. *click*. Wait. *click*. Wait...
i say to myself as I'm listening to it get closer, as I'm coming up to the cliff.

*click* Wait... "Now!"
I say as I jump off one side, and barley make it to the other.
Just escaping the Griever.
I made it.
I lay down, and catch my breath for a bit.

Newt POV
"We found this in the box!"
Gally said as he handed me something wrapped in cloth, an a letter on top.
I take the letter and pass the stuff back to Gally.

"I'm sorry newt, Really.
Love Lizzy."

Lizzy's POV

"Ok. Let's see here."
I say as I walk up to a thing in a room.
It needs a code.
I use what I found in the maze, literally, and enter it into the computer.
"float, catch, bleed, death, stiff"
But the only thing that is left is to push a button labeled "Hello, Lizzy. Come on in."

                            And I do.
