New Companions

Chapter 5: The Investigation

I made my way to the deadheads and waited for the noise to start so I could follow it. I waited around the edge of the deadheads for a good ten minutes and then decided I was done waiting around. I jogged into the deadheads when all of a sudden I saw a shadow fly by, like the one I saw this morning while I was with Newt. I decided I would follow it because I'm pretty fast and could catch up quickly. I was right behind it, I was just about to grab it when it flew over the wall.
I wanted to follow it but I knew that would be breaking the rules. Instead I decided to walk back to the homestead.

When I got back to the homestead, I decided I would go back to the deadheads after lunch. I was gonna find whoever the source of the noise was.

Went to go find Minho so that we could walk to lunch together, but he was already sitting there with Newt, Thomas, and Chuck. Newt looked a little angry. 'Wait, did he tell them that I went into the deadheads?' I pushed the thought aside because I really didn't care if they knew.

"Hey Y/n" Said Thomas "Hey" I replied. "Hi Y/n"  Chuck exclaimed, "Hey there Chuckie" It was quiet for another minute, until Newt spoke, "So a little birdie told me that you went back into the deadheads, is it true?" I nodded. "Well you shouldn't have, it was bloody dangerous!" Newt shouted. "Well I almost found the source of the noise, but then it flew over the wall so I couldn't follow it" I spoke in my calmest voice. Newt had a worried expression on his face. 

He quickly got out of his seat and hugged me, I was a bit shocked at first but then I hugged back. The moment we touched I felt sparks, the same sparks I felt when he grabbed my hand three months ago.

After a minute or so he let go, He looked to the deadheads then back at me, "I don't want you going back in there until we figure some things out, okay?" "got it" I mumbled. I guess I wasn't going back into the deadheads after lunch. We sat back down and continued eating for another ten minutes.

After lunch I figured I would talk to Minho about keeping a secret. I saw Minho walking back to his hammock with Thomas, I ran up to them. "Hey Minho, can I talk to you for a minute?" Thomas walked off. "Why?!" I shouted, "Why can't you keep a secret?!" "I'm sorry but Newt asked where you were and I couldn't not tell" He spoke in a calm voice trying to calm me down.

"it's okay, I understand" I sighed. We started walking when I heard the noise. Again. I'm pretty sure Minho heard it too, because he looked into the deadheads where the noise was coming from. 

I spun around and bolted into the deadheads without even thinking about what Newt said earlier. I ran for five or so minutes and then decided to climb a tree so I could get a better view. I found the tallest tree I could and started climbing, I was about twenty feet high when the noise was very loud, then all of a sudden it stopped. I went a couple feet higher and then stopped, I was looking around when I saw something or someone move in the tree next to me.

It startled me so much that I screamed and lost my footing on the tree branch.

*Newts POV*

Y/n had ran into the deadheads about fifteen minutes ago, we were looking for her, but we just couldn't seem to find her. It reminded me of when she first came up from the box, and got scared and ran into the deadheads. I was in the middle of my thought when I heard a scream. Y/n's scream. I ran as fast as I could but I had my limp so I wasn't going as fast as I wish I was. 'If anything were to happen to Y/n I wouldn't be able to live with myself' I got closer to the where I heard the scream, when I saw something fly by.  The figure was in...a cloak? 'we don't have cloaks in the glade' I decided to go to the direction he came from.

I walked over and found Y/n lying on the ground whimpering in pain. It looked like she broke her ankle. 'how did this happen' I ran up to her and picked her up. I carried her bridal style to the medjack's, when we got there I placed her down on the bed and held her hand in mine. 

They fixed up her ankle, but they told her not to walk on it for two-three days. I walked up to her and looked into her gorgeous hazel eyes and that's when I knew I was definitely in love.
