CHAPTER 4

Today was day two of training. Alby was still insisting that I had to move the leaf using the wind and it was driving me insane. Gally was making fun of me when ever he could all day about how I couldn't move the leaf and I am ready to kill him.

Currently I am sitting in the same place I was yesterday, which was in the middle of the glade. I had an audience again too, except this time all the gladers decided to join in watching me fail.

"Alby I'm never gonna be able to move this leaf, will you give it up already," I complained

Alby gave me the scariest look ever, even worse then the looks Gally give me sometimes, "Get up,"

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"GET UP!" He roared. He started walking towards me and I scrambled up into a standing position. Alby walked over to me, grabbed my arms so I couldn't move, and got in my face. I heard Newt starting to growl in the background but ignored it as I focused on Alby.

"You are going to sit here all night and day if you have to until you MOVE THAT GOD DAMN LEAF!" He screamed at me, spit flying everywhere.

I whimpered and nodded. He let go of me and walked back towards the gladers. I could feel the bruises forming where Alby had gripped me tightly. I was wearing a short sleeve shirt so I tried to nonchalantly look at my arms where he had grabbed me. I looked up when I heard the gladers gasp and Newt growl, while his body started shaking. They were all looking at my arms.

I looked down at the ground and blinked quickly a few times to stop the tears that were threatening to spill over. I sat back down with the leaf in front of me and continued my endless torture of trying to move the leaf.

"You're so pathetic you can't even move a little leaf," Gally laughed with all of his friends.

Newt growled louder and I heard him say quietly to Gally, "Cut it out shank,"

I didn't say anything back to Gally because I was afraid I would start crying or my voice would crack. Gally continued to taunt me and I continued to ignore, but Gally wasn't having any of that. I heard him walk up behind me and he started to poke me and distract me.

"Cut it out, please," I asked quietly.

"Why should I," Gally asked tauntingly.

I bit back a sharp reply and continued on trying to move the leaf. Gally wouldn't give up. After a few minutes I started to feel my anger rising. It was boiling in the pit of my stomach. All that angry energy wanted to be released.

I couldn't take it anymore. I jumped up from my spot on the ground. The wind started to whip around me. The trees were shaking, some of the boys hair was flying around there faces. I saw fear flash in Gally's and his friend's eyes.

"WHAT? ARE YOU SCARED OF ME?" I screamed at him. The wind howled around us. Gladers started getting knocked over it was so strong. Thunder boomed and lightning clashed all around us, the wind getting stronger by the minute.

"N-no I'm not s-scared of y-you," Gally stuttered in fear.

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN TO BACK OF DO YOU!" I screamed at him.

"BETHANY STOP," Alby shouted from where he was standing with all the other gladers that were trying to keep from blowing over.

"NO! WHY SHOULD I! YOU JUST LET HIM BULLY ME AND DON'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING! WHY IN THE WORLD SHOULD I LISTEN TO YOU!" I continued screaming.

Lightening flashed from the sky and hit the ground about two feet away from Gally. Gally screamed and scrambled away with all his friends. My own hair was whipping around my head so I didn't notice that Newt had struggled over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and crushed me to his chest.

"You need to calm down. You could hurt someone, you could hurt me." Newt whispered in my ear.

Everything stopped immediately when he said that. The thunder stopped, the lightening stopped, even the wind stopped. I felt all of my energy disappear and my knees gave out. I would have fallen to the ground if Newt didn't have his arms around me. My hands, which were resting on his chest, moved up and around his neck. I could feel how toned he was under his thin T-shirt. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist and nuzzled my face into his neck. I could feel myself shaking from using that much energy.

Newt pulled back so he could look at my face. I got lost in his crystal blue eyes and didn't realize he was talking to me.

"What," I said snapping out of my trance.

Newt chuckled and brought one of his hands up and brushed his thumb a crossed my cheek.

"I said, why are you crying?" Newt asked.

"Oh... umm... I don't know," I said. I was telling the truth too. I didn't even know I was crying until Newt said it.

Newt sighed, "Alby shouldn't have pushed you that hard, nor should he have touched you," he growled the last part.

I put my hand on his cheek, "It's alright, I'm fine,"

He stopped growling and gave me a weird look. Something I could only describe as love and adoration, "come on, let's get you some food," he said.


I had gotten my food and was currently eating on Newts lap while he sat in his chair at the keepers table, discussing what I did. I finished and place my plate on the table.

I curled up in a ball on Newt's lap and nuzzled my face into Newt's neck. I heard a few "aww's" from a few of the keepers but I was sure a few were jealous because I was sitting in Newt's lap and not theirs. Newt tightened his arms around me and rested his cheek on my head. I felt completely safe and comfortable around Newt. I felt a pull, a sort of connection with him that I didn't have with anyone else in the glade. I fell asleep in Newts arms, totally at peace.


I woke up cuddled in Newt's arms. My legs were tangled in his and his chest was right in my face. I could feel him breathing deeply right above my head and I felt his hot breath fan around me. He smelled like pine and the outdoors, like he had been running around in the woods. It was musky and manly and he smelt good. It was officially my favorite scent.

It was still dark out, so I decided to train by myself and see if I could move the leaf before anyone got up. I gently and quietly disentangled myself from Newt's limbs. He sighed in discontentment in his sleep. I smiled at him and made my way outside to the leaf.

I sat down with the leaf and front of me and held my hand out in front of me with my palm facing towards the ground. I slowly raised my hand. I was in total concentration. The air stirred around me a little and the leaf shook, but it didn't rise off the ground or move. I scowled at it and tried again it shook a little more but it still didn't move or raise off the ground.

"What are you doing?" I jumped at the sound of Newt's voice behind me. I turned around,

"Nothing," I replied.

"You're trying to train by yourself while everyone is still asleep, aren't you?" He asked.

"Okay maybe I am, so what, why does it matter to you?" I asked snappily.

Hurt flashed across Newt's face and I felt guilty,

"I'm sorry, I'm just frustrated with myself because I can't move the stupid leaf," I said looking at the ground, ashamed.

Newt grabbed my chin and forced me to look up at him, his face softened,

"Why don't you try again and pretend I'm not even here," he said softly, his breath fanned a crossed my face.

I sat on the ground again with the leaf in front of me and repeated what I had done earlier. The leaf shook but still didn't move or rise. I sighed in frustration and lay on the ground, looking up at the sky. Newt's face appeared in my line of vision and he picked me up of the ground. He wrapped his arms around me with my back pressed against his chest,

"Now try it," He whispered in my ear, making me shiver.

I raised my hand with my palm facing the ground and began to rise it up slowly. The wind blew around us and the leaf started to rise up in the air, following my hand movement. I drew my hand towards my chest with my palm facing away from me and pushed outward with my hand, as if I was going to push someone. The leaf, which was still floating in the air, blew away from me and Newt and land about ten feet away from us.

I let out a breathy laugh, "wow," I whispered and turned in Newt's arms, so I was facing him. He was staring at me again,

"Ya… wow," Newt replied.

I got lost in his eyes again. His face moved closer to mine, slowly, like he was giving me time to push him away. His lips touched mine very lightly. The world disappeared around me. There was only me and Newt. His arms tightened around me and his kisses became stronger. I kissed him back just as passionately.

The sudden bang of the walls opening made me jump and I accidentally bit Newt's lip. I thought I had hurt him but he moaned. I smiled and pulled away slowly. Newt opened his eyes and grinned at me,

"That was amazing," he panted, trying to catch his breath.

I nodded in response because I was still trying to get my breath back.

"The gladers are getting up, I can hear them," Newt said.

"How can you hear them?" I asked.

"Since I'm a werewolf, all of my senses are heightened so I can hear, smell, and see better," He said proudly.

"Oh," was all I said.

Someone cleared their throat and I turned to see Alby and all the other gladers standing behind him. My cheeks flamed red with embarrassment and I turned my head to hide it in Newt's chest. His body rumbled with laughter,

"Ohhhh we got a blusher," Newt laughed.

"Ya ya," I muttered under my breath.

"You better be out here for a good reason," Alby said with his arms crossed.

I walked over to where I had blown the leaf and picked it up off the ground. I walked back over to stand about five feet away from Alby. I placed the leaf on the ground, held my hand out with my palm facing the ground and rose up slowly. The leaf lifted up off the ground and Alby's eyes widened with surprise. I smiled at him,

"Ta Da!" I said proudly.

"Well done Beth," Alby said.

I realized that day, that it might be okay to live here after all.
