Authors Note: This is 30 days later from the bonfire. I own the two characters Greg, and the squirrel. And this is also a warning: involves attempted rape. 

Third person P.O.V.

30 days later.......

Amy's P.O.V.

Over the last 30 days, I have learned everyone's names, and their jobs. I have gotten a lot of new friends. Like Gally, a runner named Minho, a runner named Ben, Chuck, Frypan, Newt, and many more. It's been fun. Although, I still haven't gotten any more information on the message in the notebook. So for now, it's my little secret. Today, I am in my tree, drawing a picture of the squirrel I have become friends with. I call him Chestnut. He has red fur and a white chest.

I was feeding him berries, when I checked my watch that a boy built for me. It was 2:00. Lunch time. I turned to look at my little friend.

"I'll see you later Chestnut." I said as I pet him on the head. He jumped off my knee, into the tree. I put my notebook in my bag, and jumped off the tree. I started walking, when I heard a twig snap. I came to a sudden stop. "Hello? Is anyone there?" I asked. It has to be Gally. He always likes to play tricks on me. I looked around, when suddenly my back was pushed up against the tree behind me. I looked and saw one of the boys I befriended. He had black hair, and brown eyes. His name was Greg. "Greg? What are you doing?" I asked.

"Alby said we can't have you, but I just couldn't help myself." He said.

"What do you mean?! Let go of me!" I yelled.

"No! For the last 30 days, I have watched you climb this tree. For the last 30 days, I have watched you make new friends. For the last 30 days, I have watched the way the boys look at you, and I am tired of this friendly act I put up. I'm done waiting." He said. He ripped my bag off me.

"Hel—" he cut me off by putting his hand over my mouth.

"Shut up!" He told me. He pushed hair out of my face. "We're gonna have a nice time together, Amy." He said creepily. That's when my mind went into fight or flight mode. I kicked him in his 'area', grabbed my bag, and ran. As I kept running, tears were rolling down my face. People yelled my name, but I didn't stop. I was about to run into the Maze, when Newt grabbed me to stopped me.

"Stop! Stop, stop! Amy, What are you doing?" He asked, but I didn't answer. Gally, Alby, and the others ran over. I just kept crying. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked me.

"Greg...He.....he tried to touch me." I finally answered.

"I'll kill him." Newt said. He tried to leave but I grabbed his hand.

"No. No please. Please don't leave me." I begged.

"Alright." Newt said.

"Gally, you and the others find Greg, and bring him here." Alby ordered.

"It might be a bad idea to send me." Gally said.

"And why is that?" Alby asked.

"Because I might kill him before I we bring him here." Gally said.

"Then, you guys bring Greg here. Gally, you and Newt will stay with her." Alby said as he pointed to me. The other boys ran off. I kept looking around in case Greg showed up again.

"It's alright. He won't hurt you anymore." Newt said.

"Not as along as we are around." Gally said. The boys took me to Newt and i's hut. I sat down on the bed, and looked at the floor. I heard the door open.

"What happened?" Minho asked. Minho is the keeper of the runners. He has black hair and dark brown eyes. 

"Greg tried to rape Amy." Newt answered.

"He What?!" Minho asked.

"Yeah. And he's lucky that I'm not the one who is trying to find him. Because if I was, he still wouldn't be living." Gally said.

"So what are we gonna do?" Ben asked. Ben is a dirty blonde haired runner. He is also one of my very good friends. 

"Alby said we would discuss this when we find him." Newt said. "Gally, please go tell Frypan that Amy is done for today. Ben please go help the others find Greg." Newt said.

"What are you guys gonna do?" Gally asked Newt and Minho.

"We will be guarding Amy. In case Greg comes for her." Newt said.

"Okay." Ben said, and left. Gally came over to me, and put his hand on my shoulder.

"We're gonna find him, okay?" He assured me. I nodded. He kissed the top of my head, and walked over to Newt. "Protect her." He said.

"I won't let him lay a hand on her." Newt told him. Gally left, and it was just me, Newt, and Minho in the hut. Minho sat down next to me.

"Are you ok?" He asked. I shook my head, and started sobbing. He hugged me.

"I'm scared." I said, between sobs.

"It's okay." He said to me.

"He won't get away with this." Newt said. I looked at him, and nodded.
