I started writing and didnt stop, my handwriting was small so I could fit a lot of it in one page. I just started writing about everything, how scared I'd been, feeling the constant pain that was in with my ankle, how Mihno offered me to be a runner. At one point while writing tears blocked my vision but I didnt let them fall. 

It was getting late in the evening now but I hadn't realised I was still to busy writing on page two of my book, then I was interrupted "hey greenie" a voice came from above me "your bloody hard to find, you know that" Newt sat down beside me and I put my book away in my back pocket of my jeans "I did that on purpose, ever heard of time alone in your own thoughts" I smiled and stared out into the little forest that was in front of us "I can go" he pointed his thumb back the way "no I like company" I smiled still staring out onto the glade. 

"So eh how's the leg" Newt picked up one of my crutches "nice these look cool" he started playing with it, I let out a quiet laugh "My legs not as bad as when it first happened but its still really sore" I tried to move it but a strike of pain shot up to the top of my leg "ouch that looks sore, almost as sore as my leg was" Newt lifted up his trouser leg to show 2 or 3 little scars on his calf "ouch that looks sore for a whose" we both laughed "I'll have you know it was as bad as yours if not worse" Newt rolled back down his trouser leg "go on tell me your hero story, were you saving Mihno from one of those monsters or did you just run into a wall" I looked at Newt who had suddenly gone quiet "oh my god you didnt actually run into a wall and break your leg" I turned to look at him "no, no I didnt run into a wall and I didnt do it saving Mihno either" He looked at me like he wanted to open up about it "but its a story for another day" Newt snapped back into reality and stood up "I just wanted to make sure you were still alive, thats the only reason I went on the hunt to find you" he smiled while walking away 

"Hey Newt" I shouted only loud enough so he could hear, he turned round "you are going to tell me that story one day right, I wanna know who you saved breaking it, must be a massive hero story" he laughed and scratched the back of his head "I definitely saved someone breaking this thing but its a story for another time....... by greenie" he limped away, now that he mentioned it he did walk with a limp and he didnt hide it well.
