• Hailey's P.o.V •

I gripped a vine while Thomas gripped a vine and we pulled at them to get Alby up the wall. It started slipping out of my grip which made millions of cuts on my hands.

"C'mon Hailey, just a little more."

I grunted and tightened my grip on the vine and continued pulling Alby up further and further. We found a way to keep the vines how they were and kept Alby up there.

I heard the moaning and roaring of the one thing I didn't want to hear. I looked down the dark corridor to see a Griever at the end.

"Tommy, climb the wall." I breathed heavily.

I gripped vines and started climbing the wall to get up by Alby; Thomas beside me to the right of Alby. I got up beside Alby and gripped the vines to hold myself up as the Griever slowly made his way down the corridor.

I grunted and whispered, "Thomas."

"Shh." He whispered.

I slipped some and I heard the clicking of the Grievers legs stop. My eyes went wide and I looked over at Thomas. He held his finger over his lips telling my to be quiet. I slipped again then again and again before I couldn't stop.

"Hailey." Thomas grabbed my arm which felt like it pulled out of place.

I looked down and the Griever looked up at us. It roared and jumped up at us.

"Land safely." Thomas said.

Before I could even ask he swung me across the Griever and to the other said. I landed and rolled landing on my back.

I groaned and started rubbing my head.

"Hailey! Run!" He was on the other side. "Run! Get up!"

I finally snapped and stood up looking at him.

"Thomas!"

"Forget about me and run! Listen to me!"

Griever looked at me and I made a run for it turning running turning running. This is gonna be a tuft night.

• Newt's P.o.V •

I sat in front of the doors with a blanket and leaned my head back on the cold stone.

"Need some company?" Spencer came up to me.

I looked at her, "Why not? You can tell me more bloody information."

"So you do remember your sister?" She asked.

"No, just bloody figured out today."

"That must suck, then she runs in there. What'd she do just run?" She sat down.

"Well Tommy ran in then she ran after Tommy. I dunno they have some bloody connection." I shrugged.

"Well Hailey is my best friend and she's Thomas's to."

I looked at her, "How? I don't remember a single bloody thing."

"Perks of not having the Swipe." She shrugged with a smile.

"I guess the bloody Swipe is the thing that took our bloody memories?"

She nodded, "Thomas was gonna ask her something but they pulled her away before he could."

"I wonder what it was." I said looking straight back at Homestead again.

"That means Thomas won't remember me." She sighed.

I looked at her as she looked down.

"Thomas is my brother." She met my gaze.
