Survival | DreamNotNap

Chapter 15

Sapnap's POV

"Dream. George is in big trouble. We need to find a base and get inside now." Tubbo says as soon as Tommy helps pull him into the car. Dream just drives faster to let Tubbo know he heard him.

I turn around in my seat and George isn't in the backseat. George, what did you do? We are at some abandoned warehouse, when Dream stops.

"You three go inside and stay together.Me and Sap will be right there in a moment." I hop out of the car and run over the truck bed. I drop the tailgate and see George sitting there with his eyes glazed over. I don't understand what happened.

"GEORGE!" Dream sees him and climbs over the side and scoops up George. "This isn't good." He moves George's head to reveal his hoodie soaked in blood on his right shoulder.

I help Dream carry George inside. George still isn't moving. The kids are all sitting next to each other talking in whispers. Dream lays George down and pulls his hoodie off of him. I grab a towel and pour a water bottle on it.

I clean the blood off as best as I can. George was our medic. I pull the towel off of him. Right on his shoulder a huge chunk of skin is missing. I look at Dream who has tears on the edge of his eyes. I reach over to him and hug him.

I don't know what we are gonna do without George. We are gonna have to kill him. Dream wipes his eyes and goes to walk over to the kids. He has to go tell them what is gonna happen to George. They may have all killed zombies, but watching someone turn is a lot different especially if you know them.

He walks back over with some rope in his hand and a blue bandana.

"Can you lift George's head up for me?"

"Mhm." I gently lift his head up and watch what Dream is doing. He folds into a long rectangle and ties it around his head where it covers his mouth.

"If we have to, the rope is to restrain him if he tries to attack anyone. I don't want to kill him so this is the next best thing. Hopefully we can find a cure." George starts to stir and I quickly stand up and back away from him.

He opens his eyes now. He sits himself up and looks over to Dream and then me. I walk over to the children with my bat in hand. He pushes himself up and starts to walk over to Dream. The kids are quiet now watching George as well.

He walks over to Dream and points to his bag. Is he asking for his bag? Dream smiles at him and takes his bag off. He pulls Patches out of it and places her down. Being satisfied George sits down and starts to pet Patches.

Dream walks over to me and whispers "He seems almost exactly the same. I have no idea why he isn't trying to attack anyone."

"Is Gogs gonna be okay?" I turn around and give Tommy a soft smile.

"Yes. We just have to be careful around him right now." I lie to him through a grin. He smiles at me now, seeming to calm down. George is walking over to us and before I can stop him Tubbo runs over to him.

I expect George to try to attack him, but Tubbo hugs him and George hugs back. He must have been terrified since he saw George get bit.

"Tubbo is very clingy." I turn to Tommy.

"He must trust easily. He has been talking to me all day and hasn't said a word to George."

"I'm Tubbo's best friend, but he does enjoy making new friends. He didn't like staying with Phil. Nobody would pay him any attention. Wilby would occasionally talk to him. George reminds me of Will."

"I can see the similarities." I look over to see Tubbo having a one-sided conversation with George. "I think he is just trying to make it up to George for saving him and getting infected so that he didn't die." I continue to stare at them watching George when I notice something.

He had reached up to grab onto something to get up and his sleeve rolled. I barely see it but I see something white on his wrist. Me and Dream only cleaned up his shoulder. I get up and walk over to George and Tubbo.

"Hey George." He looks at me curiously.

"Can I see your left hand?" He hesitantly hands me it. I give him a small 'thank you' and roll his sleeve up. He seems to have no idea what I'm doing. I was right George has some bandages wrapped right around where you would normally get an IV.

I slowly unwrap the bandages and halfway through George starts to stir. Dream notices and starts to walk over to us.

"What's wrong, Baby?" He keeps trying to make me let go of his left hand."Dream. George won't let me take this off him."

"I got this." Dream wraps George into a hug from behind and pulls him to the ground. He starts to play with his hair and George is resting his hand back on Dream. I sit down in front of George and as gently and fast as possible I take the bandage off of him.

The bandage has a little bit of blood right over where the vein is.

"Did Techno do this, George?" The name on its own makes George shoot up to look me in the eyes. He shakes his head very quickly. He keeps glancing around the room.

"That mark is from an IV. It looks fairly recent."

I forgot Tubbo was right next to me watching everything happen. I was right about it being it looking like he had got an IV. What would George even need an IV for?

George is nervously stirring now.

He puts his hand to his mouth and pulls down his bandana. The one thing keeping him from biting us.
