I heard Newt's voice in the distance.

'Don't leave me. You're strong. You'll make it.'

I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids were sealed. I tried to answer him, but I couldn't. And I was lulled back into my memory.

I was still young, and I was answering some questions to some WICKED scientists. I wasn't listening to what they were asking. I left the room and entered another, where a group of children were talking. A kid, young Alby, asked:

'What's your name?'

'Maria,' I answered.

'Nice to meet you,' a blonde little boy said. It was Newt.

The memory changed again. I was older now.

'You can't do this. You won't get anywhere,' I was telling a guy. It was Thomas - the boy I dreamed about.

'It's our only chance,' he said.

'Oh, save me your excuses,' Newt said.
I looked at him. He was different. He had an innocent look, impecable clothes, freshly washed hair.

'We will come back for you,' a girl said.

She must've been the girl I was in my dream. Things were beggining to make sense. I looked into Newt's dark eyes, and I saw a bit of fear.

'We'll meet again,' he said, smiling, as he entered another room.

I was alone, in a void of light. I had to go back. I pictured Newt. But it was hard, I had a moment of doubt. A voice spoke clearly in my head. My mother.

'Be strong.'

My eyes opened, and my body shot upwards.
