A Pentagon of Problems (COMPLETED)

Chapter 11, Big Changes

Chapter 11

Joel's POV:

I woke up and the space beside me was cold. Lizzie must have gotten up. I got out of bed to go search for her. I heard talking in the waiting room, and I followed the voices.

"Half zombie? Is she going to be ok?" Lizzie asked.

"I really don't know, when Joel wakes up I'll tell you guys what I know." Said the Doctor.

"I'm up. Can you tell us now?" I asked, and sat down next to Lizzie.

"Yes, of course," said the Doctor. "Hope was bitten in her arm by a zombie, right?"

"Yes." Lizzie said tensely.

"Well, she will recover, but she will have side effects." Said the doctor gravely.

"Oh thank god," I said and sighed. Lizzie did the same.

"The side effects will be....?" Asked Lizzie.

"She will have a greenish rash, sort of like a birthmark on her arm from the bite that will not be able to be removed. She will also be immune to bites in the future, and will not be able to turn others to zombies." Said the doctor.

"Oh wow...." Lizzie said, "That's great that she won't be a zombie!" She smiled. I smiled back.

"So where are you taking us, now that she is healed? Do you have a place?" I asked.

"Well," said the doctor, "We do have a place, but it is a very small community. You will get a house, the children will go to school, and you will work."

"Is it safe?" Lizzie and I both asked.

"Yes, there is a wall around it and no one can get in, and no one can get out without permission." Said the doctor.

The silence stretched out between us, and Lizzie held my hand tight.

"Will we ever be able to leave? To go home? What about our cat?" The questions started rolling in from both Lizzie and I.

"No, you can't leave unless you are immune to the zombies, or they are gone. We will go and retrieve your cat if you wish." Said the doctor.

"Oh good! I couldn't bear to leave Buddy." Lizzie sighed, "Is there anything else?"

"Well, sort of. Don't be frightened, I didn't intend for it to be like this." The doctor looked down and whispered, "It was my idea, to make them. This horror that was set upon you was my fault. I make them, I made the zombies."
