(Alby POV)

I don't understand what's going on at first.

"Newt you need to tell him." Winston mutters.
"Tell me what?" I demand.
"Nothing." Newt whispers,I can see the tears in his eyes.

I storm over to him then grab him and look down at his arms,to see five starches,oozing with blood.

"Oh my shuck!" I turn over to Winston and Frypan "Give us some privacy please guys."
"Sure."

Once they've gone I turn back to Newt,I can feel tears in my eyes and my heart breaking into two. My voice is gone so all I can do is whisper..

"Why?"
"I'm sorry."
"I thought you we're better."
"I was scared."
"I was supposed to protect you!"
"You did. I swear, fear cuts deeper than any knife in this place Alby."

He starts to cry then smash his hands against his head.

"Hey! Hey. What's wrong?"
"I can hear voices in my head!"
"What?"
"For as long as I know they've been chasing me. And now they're strong enough to break through!"

Before I can react he jumps to the knife and clutches it in his hand. I let out a scream and lunge at him,grabbing the knife and throwing it off the kitchen. Newt scrambles after it but I'm quicker. I reach it and smash it,over and over with my feet until it's nothing.

"YOU BASTARD YOU SHIT BAG!" He roars.
"Calm down!"
"THE MONSTERS ARE AFTER ME AND IT'S ALL YOUR SHUCKING FAULT!"
"How is it mine?"
"I could've been dead. But here I am."

That's when he starts to run,like he's never run before. Into the Maze....
