I dragged Thomas to the Homestead and Chuck followed us.

Alby went to grab a few emergency things so I could treat Thomas in case he was hurt.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" I asked inspecting the boy. We were sitting in the Homestead.

"Not at all. We just casually rolled down the hill". He shrugged.

I slapped his arm. "Stop joking and be serious". I sighed. "Do you have any abdominal pain? Bruises? Face?"

"Not really. My wrist hurts a little maybe". He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Let's wait for Alby then". I assured.

"You're such a dump shank". Chuck exhaled.

"Excuse you?" Thomas turned around to face the boy.

"You heard me. I know you did something stupid again". Chuck said and Thomas seemed offended.

The two boys didn't fight because they didn't like each other. Actually, these two were close.

Sometimes I thought that Thomas would like to have him as a younger brother. Or maybe Chuck views him as a father figure.   

"Hey—". Thomas tried to speak but something interrupted him. Or someone.

"Stop whining you two". It was Alby. He walked towards us sighing. "Stella how do you put up with these shanks?" He handed me some medical supplies.

"Trust me I have no clue". I exhaled. I took Thomas' wrist in my hand and started inspecting it.

"So what happened to him?" Thomas questioned. It was a question I had too.

"It's called the Changing". Alby replied and I listened carefully. "It's what happens when someone gets stung".

Stung? I have heard it before. Clint and Jeff have mentioned it. I tried to concentrate on treating Thomas' wrist but my mind spun there.

"Listen". He took a small pause but quickly recovered. "We haven't been able to get a clear word from Ben since it happened. You know, he isn't making any sense. And it's only gonna get worse".

"Hold on. It isn't treatable?" I asked and everyone's eyes burnt on me.

"Not even curable". Alby replied. "The infection is spreading. He's dangerous". He paused. "What did he say to you?"

Thomas seemed skeptical for a moment. "Um.. he said he saw me and that this is all my fault".

The same thing Gally told me. How is it possible for these two events to happen on the same day?

"Our fault". He added and something inside me fell apart. Our fault? "How could this be my fault?" He asked.

Alby didn't respond. He slowly got up. "All right get some rest".

"Alby". Thomas said and the boy turned around. "What is going to happen to him?"

It was official.

Ben was getting banished at sundown.

Just like Jacob had. But for different reasons.

"Love I think you should stay inside with Chuck". Newt said and I looked up, my eyes meeting his. We were sitting on a log. His hand was around my waist and I had relaxed my head on his shoulder.
