*Crystal's pov*

I wake up to see Newt stroking my hair as I lay on his bed. I guess the guys put me here.

I don't say anything and I stare at him as he realises I'm awake.

'Love, I'm sorry for-'

He starts to talk but I wave him off.

'It's fine Newt don't worry about it, I killed one of your friends. Of course you reacted like that.' I gently smile at him.

'The guys explained why you did it and to be honest....I'm glad you did it' He says, his eyebrows furrowing.

'What about Minho?' I ask worriedly.

'He's an idiot and said idiot is waiting outside to talk to you' Newt chuckles softly.

Newt kisses me softly on the head and gets up, walking over to the door.

I see Minho in the doorway and I smile at him.

'Right I'll leave you to it' Newt says before heading off.

Minho opens his mouth but I hold up my hand.

'It's okay, you don't need to apologise.' I tell him.

He lets out a big sigh of relief and quickly bounds over to the bed.

'I'm so sorry, really sorry Crystal' he mutters, leaning his forehead on my forehead.

'It's okay Minho, I promise' I tell him, stroking his cheek.

He looks at me and before I know it his lips are on mine.

His tongue caresses my lips softly before he removed himself, I give a small grumble and he chuckles lightly.

'I love you'

I stare at him with my mouth wide open and I tackle him in a hug.

'I love you too'

I'm outside with my mates, staring at the Maze wall as it doesn't close.

'Blueberry are you sure you can perform the spell?' Kai asks me worriedly.

'I'm sure' I smile at him before walking over to Alby.

'Gather everybody in the Homestead now, keep everyone in the centre and away from the sides of the building. I'm going to perform a spell to keep everyone safe but I need the space so I'm going to stay out here.' I tell him quietly and he just nods a quick nod of understanding.

I hear the cry of the grievers approaching and the groaning of the other entrances of the Maze opening.

I give a nod to Alby and he tells everyone to go into the Homestead.

'Elskan you coming?' Elijah asks me after he sees me not following the others.

'I'm staying out here as I need the space, I'll be okay 'Lijah.' I tell him reassuringly.

'Nuh uh, no way. You are not staying out here. No' Damon says fiercely.

'Damon I'll be okay.' I tell him.

'No, no, no and no. Oh did I mention No?!' He growls at me and I can't help but giggle as he almost said the exact line that was in the show.

'Of course she giggles' Klaus groans at me, 'Why are you giggling love?'

'Damon almost said the exact line his said in the show about Elena' I giggle softly.

All my mates growl at the mention of Elena, even Newt and Minho. They've become quite animalistic.

'At least keep two of us out here to protect you Elskan' Elijah asks me softly.

'Fine only two as I need the rest of you to protect the others. I need Kai here anyway just in case I need more magic. Klaus you can stay, so can you Enzo' I tell them authoritatively.

They groan and grumble but they run over to the Homestead just in time as I see the grievers starting to come into the Glade.

I sit down with my mates standing protectively over me and I start chanting the spell.

Little One....good luck.

*third person pov*

The grievers ran joyfully over to Crystal and her three mates but they found they couldn't get close than five metres because of the blockage of a blue shield that would appear every time they tried.

Cries of annoyance came from them as they kept on trying and failing.

Two grievers gave up and went straight for the Homestead, they broke the walls and lunged for the terrified gladers but again were blocked by a blue shield.

And so this repeated every time the grievers tried to attack until the sun rose high in the sky the next morning but still the grievers wouldn't leave.

Over by Crystal, her skin began to pale at the length of time she had been chanting the spell and blood began to trickle out of her nose.

Kai put his hands on her shoulders and began to put his magic into the spell until her skin gained its colour back.

'Kai' she gasped, her eyes flying open.

The shield around them faltered and crashed, the cries of two men filled the air.

'A little more' She whispered.

Kai began filling his mate with more and more magic until he could feel his supply trickling down into nothing.

Crystal chanted even more fiercely than before and added in a new spell.

Suddenly the grievers all around them became aflame with fire, their cries filled the air as their bodies became ash.

Crystal stopped chanting and collapsed into Kai's arms.

Newt and Minho came rushing over with her other mates not far behind.

'I'm sorry....the shields, they stopped for a moment and they were protecting the other gladers' Newt gently said, his breath uneven from the eventful night they just had.

'What happened?' Crystal cried worriedly.

'Jeremy and Damon, they got stung'
