-Chapter Thirty One/Flashback-

-Nobody's POV-

The group first walked to the lab and placed Newt on the table. Harriet walked up to the boy and took the knife out of his abdomen and quickly patched him up. "I'll stay here and get him prepared for recovery. Go look for a cure or something." Harriet explained. Everyone nodded and left for the search. "What happened to you..?" Harriet questioned. Well, in case you're wondering that as well reader, I'm here to assist.

-Newt's POV-

Thomas and I had arrived to help Sonya. Thomas was slashing and punching the cranks while I slashed, punched, and shot the cranks with my gun. Eventually, one of the cranks had grabbed my arm without Thomas or Sonya noticing, it then scratched my arm clean in the center and extremely deep in my arm. I held back a scream of pain and shot the crank. I decided to continue to fight even though I felt weak. The virus was spreading fast in my blood. "Run back to the others! We'll fend them off!!" Thomas exclaimed. Sonya nodded and ran. Thomas and I finished up with destroying the cranks and ran further that direction to see if there was anything we could use as an escape vehicle. Eventually we came across an empty road and I just couldn't do it. I collapsed onto the ground. That was when Thomas ran over and saw it. The veins on my skin were clearly a green-ish black color and a liquid pooled out of my mouth matching my veins. My mind felt foggy, like I couldn't control myself. My lungs felt full, as if this liquid was filling my lungs and would eventually cause me to drown in the virus letting it take over. I felt my eyes become glossy and my body move but I was too focused on trying to fight against the feeling of drowning that I didn't try to take control. My body lunged at Thomas and tried to bite him and scratch him while he fought against me. Eventually my mind cleared and I felt in control, I smiled down at him as I raised the gun to my head. Thomas smacked it out of my hands and I quickly went to scramble for it but he stopped me. My mind then went foggy again and my body lunged at Thomas once again. Eventually he pinned me down and my mind cleared. I looked up at him with pleading eyes. "Kill me..." I said, he shook his head no. My mind went foggy and I shoved him off of me. The next time my mind had cleared, I was sitting against a piece of rubble. I grabbed a note from out of my pocket. "Take it..." I told him, he replied saying no. "Take it!!" I screamed. He looked at me in fear and I felt horrible, I was becoming a monster. My gaze on him softened and I spoke in a calm tone. "Please...Please Tommy... Please..." I spoke. Thomas took the note and I handed him the bracelet that Alby had given me. "Give this to Minho..." He nodded and once again, my mind fogged up. We continued to fight and eventually my body had stabbed him in the chest, luckily it wasn't deep enough to harm him a lot, only enough to coat the knife in his blood. Thomas took the knife away from me after that and my mind cleared up. I ran towards him and...

-Thomas's POV-

He hugged me. Newt hugged me! He was still in there and I knew that there was a chance we could save him. He pulled away from the hug and that was when I noticed it... the knife was lodged in his abdomen. He had made me think he was hugging me so he could stab himself. "Kill me...please Tommy..." He begged. I had the gun in my pocket so I pulled it out. "I love you Newt..." I said. Newt smiled at me, "I love you too." He replied. I pulled the trigger and started to cry. I had killed Newt, the glue of the relationship... the love of my life.
