Helping around in the Gardens with his fellow Gladers, Newt allows for everyone to take a break as he makes his way over to check on Winston and the Slaughterhouse. 

Suddenly, a loud shriek pierces through the quiteness of the Glade and causes Newt to come to a halt. 

He doesn't act at first, just listens as others gather around. All is silent for a few seconds until;

"NEEEEEEWT" He hears you yell, this time calling for him specifically. "HELP ME NEWT" your voice is laced with terror and he instantly breaks out into a sprint towards your voice.

Just as he makes it to Frypan's kitchen, the Keeper of the Cooks is seen running away with a look of horror written on his features.

Newt's eyebrow raises in curiosity. The corner of his lips curl in amusement as his eyes land on you standing on a stool in the corner, pointing to something on the wall.

"c- cockroach!" You barely choke out, your eyes wide with fear.

"HURRY NEWT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING STANDING THERE!!! KILL IT!!" You yell, never allowing your gaze to tear from the bug. One look away and it could disappear under something and then it would never be seen again.

"Just squish it" he says bluntly, eyes dancing with amusement. 

"SQ- SQUISH IT??" you squeal, outraged at the fact that he would just stand there and let you suffer.

"IT'S ON THE WALL!! YOU'RE TALL SO YOU SQUISH IT" 

"Quit being a baby" he folds his arms, leaning against the frame of the kitchen door, obviously enjoying himself at this very moment. 

"I'm not being a baby. Please Newt kill it before it--" before you could finish your sentence, the previously still cockroach jumps off the wall and wings appear on it's back. 

You let out another ear-splitting scream as it glides towards you. 

"AHHHHHHH NEWT!!!" You leap off the stool and dash right for your blonde boyfriend, not looking back.

His eyes widen slightly but before he can make a dash for it, you crash into him and the two of you topple onto the floor.

Your fingers wrap tightly around Newt's shirt, "is it gone? Where did go? IS IT DEAD?!" You question, still lying ontop of the poor boy.

"How can it be dead?" He rolls his eyes, "it's gone"

"Oh, at least it's not staring down at me anymore... 

...Newt, please tell that's you I can feel crawling up my legs".
