Newt imagines 2

Biter

You wake to the soft sound of a spoon scrapping out a can, warm sunshine pours through the bus windows. You sit up rubbing your eyes and yawning, you stretch and look at the face of your boyfriend. You flick round, the back seats are empty and you've been moved.
"You know the children ate all of the food, right?" Troy says full of anger.
"What?" You yawn. The kids are all chatting away, colouring in books with crayons. Em sits next to a dark skinned girl, plaiting and brushing each other's hair.
"You were supposed to be keeping an eye on them, but no, you were asleep on some other guy's lap."
"Sorry." You roll your eyes, just as your stomach rumbles. "Any food left?"
"No cause the children ate it all, this is the last can." He raises his hand.
Your reactions make you flinch away, Troy opens the window and stares at you. "The rules still apply, tell anyone and I will make sure Emilie never leaves this bus."
You get up and leave wondering down the bus towards Emilie, you spot Thomas and Minho sat behind the drivers seat, blond hair pokes up from the drivers seat.
"Em, will you come sit with me?" You ask, interrupting her and the other girl's giggles. She flicks her eyes back to Troy and then to you, you offer her your hand. "He's not sitting with us." You state - too harshly.
"Sure." Her voice a small whisper, she takes your hand and waves bye to the girl.
You walk with her to the front, you lift her over the passenger seat next to the driver, luckily there's two so you sit between her and Newt.
"Hey." You smile at him.
"Morning." He smiles back, taking a hand off the wheel reaches into the doors pockets. "Saved this for you, it's not much but then I guess Troy gave you some of his." He hands you the remains of the can from last night, you grab it and tuck in.
"Thank you so much." You say munching the food down. "That..." You bite your lip to stop you swearing. "No, he didn't share, as ever." You mutter the last part.
He looks at you concerned. "Here, we need to decide where we're going." He hands you a map.
You open it up laying it across you and Em, in between spoonfuls of cold beans, you scan the map. "I had an idea." You point out a small town, well, more of a large village by the coast. "We used to go here on holiday all the time, it's got a castle on top of the hill. It's been converted to a hotel, but the walls still stand strong and the gates are big thick things." You eat a spoonful of beans, not even noticing you were staring at Newt. "We could live there, it's got it's own green house and vegetable patch, and if I'm right it should have chickens."
Em giggles. "And really fat piggies."

Well, I do love bacon." Newt laughs. "What happens tho, if it's over run with biters?"

"We clear them, we will build ourselves a home here. There must be more people out there, we will take people in and create a safe heaven." Your mind races with ideas and plans, it would be perfect.

"One issue, I can't kill. I don't know how to fight." Newt's says.

"I'll teach you.. If you teach me to drive." You smile.

"You can't drive?" He says astonished. "Wow."

"Troy doesn't agree with female drivers." You cover Emilie's ears. "He says their shit."

"Well , love, I'll teach all you need to know about cars and you won't be shit."

You raise an eyebrow. "Love?"

"Would you rather me call you something else? What about... Honey? Or, sweet-pea?

You laugh and shake your head. "No, I like love. I like it a lot."

"Good... Oh that's bloody great." He sighs.

"What? What's wrong?" You sit up from your crouched slouch.
