Newt's POV

I lay her down on the bed in my room. She had cried herself to sleep in Alby's arms, exhausted from the events today. He had whispered to me to take her and get her to bed, never once leaving her alone until he came for me. "I'll go deal with Kevin, Todd and Jasper now, the rest... we'll find them later." He stood up and left without saying another word. Athena whimpers softly as I try to loosen her fingers from my shirt. Even asleep she doesn't want to let go. She sighs, whispering Gally's name. I can't bear to wake her up, piling the four blankets on top of her carefully, before stepping into my own bed. It creaked incredibly loud. please don't wake up, please don't... "Newt?.." his voice but a whisper. I curse at myself and my stupidity in my mind. "Go back to sleep love, you're safe here." that's a lie and I knew it, she's not save anywhere in this bloody Maze. I hear her get out of the bed, walking over to mine. I did not dare say a word as she nestles herself against my side. She was wrapped in all the blankets I had put on her. I hug her softly, letting the silence last, hoping she would fall asleep again. She sighs as I let my head rest against hers. "It will be morning soon, sleep love." My heart aches as I hear her whisper "I love him Newt... He'll get himself banished, loving me back. I can't.." she chokes in a sob, I shush her, pulling her closer. "We'll get out of here before that happens." It was quite again, for a while. Then she whispers again, so soft I could barely understand. "Ben said there is no way out." 

Gally's POV

"Pssht... Gally? are you awake?" I look up at the dark sky above the Pit, a rope is thrown down. "Alby?" I climb out, kneeling next Alby, looking confused as I see Thomas, Minho and... Newt. "Newt why are you here? You were not supposed to leave her alone..." he interrupted me. "Chuck is sitting next to her bed, Alex in front of the door on the inside and Winston in the hallway." I get up out of the Pit and wait for Alby to explain how this was going on. He speaks softly "We're going to have to work quickly, and quietly. They can't know who did it and when it happened. Good that?" I nod curious. Thomas starts explaining the plan in more detail, who needs to do what and where. Shucking hell this might really work... Newt chuckles at the last part. "Athena is going to like that." I don't smile, but I feel the corners of my mouth lift a bit. "I hope she will." And it is a perfect way to deal with those klunkfaces. 

Athena's POV 

The bed moves a little bit. I don't open my eyes, listening very carefully. "Thank you Chuck, you can get some sleep now." Newt whispers. Chuck shuffles out of the room. As soon as he closes the door, I open my eyes. Newt is sitting by my feet. "Where were you?" He jumps a little, nit expecting me to be awake. "Don't worry love, go back to sleep. It's still dark outside..." His clothes are sweaty, and dirty. I sit up, seems likes he's tired. "What did you do?" In the middle of the night, almost like he buried a body... "Please Athena, sleep. You'll see in the morning, I promise." He comes over to lay next to me, gently pushing my shoulders back to make me lay down. He wraps an arm around me and closes his eyes. Oh I don't think so. "I'm awake Newt. You can let go of me or I can make you let go of me." He sighs, but does not move. "I'm begging you, try to sleep. Only for two more hours. Gally would kill me if something happens..." I guess he is right. and they're never going to let me get anywhere close to the Pit. "Fine. Two hours." I'll figure out what they did. 

The rooster crowed a second time. Newt groans as I climb over him, barely waking up at first. "I'm going to shower. Newt? Are you coming with?" He drags himself out of the bed, glaring at me. whatever he did last night, he's sore. "Yeah right there love. Just... give me a sec..." He picks up a clean shirt, towels and a bar of soap. mine is in the hut... In silence he walks past me and towards the showers, I follow him. There were some other Gladers in the stalls, so I rush past them and lock the door.
