Wait, what?

I needed to.. Die?

I didn't understand.

The woman on the screen continued to talk.

"I know this might seem as a shock to you, but it has to happen. If you refuse to do it yourself, I can assure you we will do it for you."

She gave a weak smile.

"I hope you make the right decision, Isabella."

And the screen went back to being the normal back of a beetle blade.

So, either I had to die, or they would kill me.

I made my decision.

I was going to fight it.

I was NOT going to willingly kill myself.

They would have to force me dead, or else they wouldn't get their way.

I decided not to tell anyone about my little encounter.

Not yet.

I went back to the campfire, and Minho and Tom were fighting. I push my way to the front. "WOO! GO MINHO!" I yell.

He gives me a quick smirk before pushing Tom out of the circle.

I clap and cheer.

He smiles, dusts his hands off and walks over to me, and slings his arm around my shoulder.

"Hey, Bel" he says.

"Hey" I reply.

"Something wrong? You're usually more.. Cheery than this" he asks.

"No, I'm just.. tired" I say. Of course, it was a full out lie. I was worried about what the woman had said.

"You should get some rest" he says.

"Greenie parties don't come very often, now, do they?" I ask. He chuckles. "Always the sarcastic tone" he says.

*the next day*

I wake up, with Newt's arm around me, and my head on his bare chest. He was still asleep.

I shake him.

"Newt?" I whisper. He sleepily opens his eyes.
"Hi" he mumbles.

I laugh.

"Morning, sleepy head" I say kissing his cheek and standing up. I pull off my shirt from the night before, and pulling on a navy sweater.

Newt was still laying in bed. I grab his hand, and start trying to gently pull him out of bed, but he pulled me back on, and wrapped his arms around me.

"Come on, let's just lay here for a bit, Frypan hasn't even started breakfast yet.. Lets just sleep for a big longer." He says.

"Okay" I whisper.

"I love you so much" he mumbles into my neck.

"I love you too" I whisper.

*

Later, I am planting vegetables a couple of metres away from Newt who is getting potatoes.

I feel my head start to hurt.

Then, my stomach.

Soon enough, I am sore all over.

And then I feel myself fall to the ground.

**Newts POV**

I glance over to Bella. She seems fine. But then, she collapses on to the ground.

"BELLA!" I scream, catching the other Glader's attention. I run to her as fast as I can.

When I get to her, her eyes are closed. She's knocked out. I grab her wrist and check for her pulse. She was alive, but barely. What had happened? Someone can't just drop to the ground unconscious out of nowhere.

Maybe it was the creators.

I feel Alby put his hand in my shoulder. "What happened?" He asks as the Med-jacks take her away.

"No idea.... " I mutter, running to the dead heads.

When I get there, I scream and grab my hair in frustration.

What happened? What were the bloody creators aiming at?

I didn't know... But I was going to find out.. Or die trying.
