Her Glue, His Wildcard

Everyone freezes at the sound of the scream. Moments later a second one occurs only this time the scream is screaming Newts name. Newt looks at me briefly before breaking into a sprint toward the scream. We all followed after him we got about thirteen feet from the tree line before a little boy came running out of it straight into Newt.

This boy was younger than all of us, even younger than chuck. He had to be nearly nine years old. He had blonde hair, deep brown eyes and the same build as Newt. Only smaller.

"Newt!" the little boy yells again before jumping into Newts arms.

"Leo!" Newt knelt down and caught the boy holding him tight. "I'm so glad you're alright." I watch Newts arms tighten around the boy more and more, he holds the back of the boys head and they sit there for a bit.

"Where the hell did you go?" Newt pulls away and holds the boy by the shoulders checking for signs of injury before pulling him back in.

"Gally told me that you were stuck in the deadheads so I went to find you...."

"What? Why would I be out there?"

"I don't know but that's what he told me, I thought you were sad..,but then"

I felt bad for the boy he couldn't be more than ten years old. He has fear and sadness all across his face.

"What? but then what?" Newt asked pulling back from the boy.

"Someone came and tackled me..held me down I couldn't see them. I'm sorry."

"It's okay Leo, We'll figure out who it was,who was supposed to be with you today?"

"Gally."

"That Slinthead!" Newt stood up and pulled the boy to his side.

"Thomas, take Leo to get something to eat. I have to deal with Gally."

Thomas nodded and put his arm around Leo before swinging him up onto his shoulders and took him to eat. Newt started off toward the council hall to find Gally.

"Woah.." I stepped in front of him and Minho put a hand on Newts shoulder.

"What?"

"You've got to calm down bud." Minho said pulling on his shirt.

"No Okay? Gally went too far." Newt said through his teeth.

"Okay okay I know...but you can't fight him." I explain.

"Remember? We can't hurt eachother out of anger. You basically made that rule" Minho moves his hand from his shoulder and walks to the front side of him next to me.

"This is different, he tricked Leo! Tried to hurt him!" Newt pushes past us.

Almost as an instinct I grab him by the arm and look him in the eyes. His face is hard, he's angry and upset.

"Newt..look at me." He does everything he can to look past me. "Newt." I command more than ask. He moved his eyes to meet mine and he slowly went down to his knees and started to tear up. I nodded at Minho and he went to go rip Gally to pieces emotionally, maybe physically knowing him, but I couldn't control Minho.

"I thought i'd lost him." Years fall down his cheeks.

"I know.." I hold him just as he'd held me and Leo both today, he does so much for everyone I wonder if he ever breaks.

"I can't lose him. I can't lose anyone especially you or him.." he looks up at me.

"You won't. I promise. I'll help you make a new schedule of people to watch him ya?"
