3rd P.O.V

In The Glade

Due to the new wave of overwhelming emotions, Newt pushed Gally aside and came right up to Thomas, his hands burrowing in the collar of his shirt. "Why the shuck have you got my girlfriend's necklace around your neck?" He spat, making Thomas flinch a bit at how close Newt was to him. "What's happened to her!?" Newt suddenly bellowed, making the 'newbie' flinch even more and lift his hands to cower away from him.

Newt was a soft and caring person who a lot of people sought for comfort at times, just when their minds needed to be put at rest. Never before had they seen this side of Newt spring into exsistence. Sure, they had seen him mad before. They saw that when Newt and Dani got into there semi-sweet lover's spats. But never before had they seen  this much rage and anger pulsate from his body.

"Let me go and I'll answer..." Thomas whispered, hoping that the calmness in his voice would reflect into Newt, except it did the complete opposite. "She's dead... Isn't she...?" Newt says, his voice faltering again as he fights to suppress the pained side of himself.  "ISN'T SHE!" He screamed once Thomas didn't answer his question.

In a split-second, Newt drew his hand back to hit Thomas square in the jaw. But thankfully, Minho lunged forward and grabbed onto Newt's arms, pulling him back roughly as the tall, blonde haired boy fought as hard as he could to continue swinging at Thomas.

"Newt!" Alby bellowed, placing his hand on the boys chest as if to calm him down as Gally stood to the side of Thomas, ready to stop the blonde from beating the shit out of him. "He killed her! Why else would he have her necklace!?" Newt cried, his attempts to get out of Minho's warning grip slowing down as the tears welled up in his eyes.

"Newt, calm down. The guy has only just come up here, I'm sure he didn't. And even if he did, he wouldn't remember it now would he." Gally says softly, turning his body to face Newt as Minho let him go, his thrashing finally coming to a stop. "Actually, I do. I remember everything." Thomas said from behind Gally, causing everybody to look at him bewilderedly.

"You, what?" Alby asks, approaching the Greenie with caution. "I remember everything because my memories were never taken away. And Newt," Thomas tells them, turning to Newt, "Dani's not dead. She's alive. And she wanted me to give you guys these."

Thomas' hands delved into his pockets to pull out 3 of the 5 pieces of paper, holding two for Newt to take as he placed Alby's in the mans awaiting hand. Newt snatched the pieces of paper quickly, not believing what Thomas was telling him.

"You open yours first, Newt. You know her handwriting better than I, and the rest of this place do." Alby tells the boy softly, gesturing to the letters Newt cradled his hands. Newt opened the letter that said:

Newt
(Read me first x)

While Alby dissmissed the crowd around them, allowing Gally, Minho, Thomas (obviously) and Elijah to stay (Elijah only because Thomas told Alby that the 17 year old boy had something to do with this too).

Dear Newt,

Let me start this letter off by saying that yes, it is really me. And no, I'm not dead. And I'm also pretty sure that you aren't going to believe me when I tell you that; so, in my hopes to make you believe that it is really me, here are some things that only I would know about you.

For starters, I know that you hate being called Newtie, and somewhat love it when I call you bub or bubba, even though you complain about it making you seem like a child. Then I know that you always have 2 slices of toast for breakfast every morning, one buttered and the other plain because you always complain that the butter is too salty but without some on the toast you complain that it is too dry. So you like to put the two together to make some weird kind of toast sandwich. And then occasionally you'll pick it apart to eat. Like that one time I felt sick and you gave me some.
