I woke to the sound of whinning, and as I looked toward my door I saw Matthew standing there.
"What are you doing?" I asked, still in a drowsy state.
"I'm hungry and no one showed me around yet." Matthew says.
"Give me a few minutes to get dressed and I'll show you where the cafeteria is."
"Ok!" He says excitedly.
He leaves and I get out of bed to get ready for today. As I walk out of my room Matthew is standing there with Clementine.
"Good morning peoples." I say, still half asleep.
"Good morning." They responded.
We walk down stairs and over to the cafeteria so we can eat. Once again my mom was up before everyone and already made breakfast, in fact I don't think I ever see her sleep now. We get our breakfast and we sit down to eat.
While we're eating I glanced over to the buggy and I don't see the turbo chargers that we picked up.
"Hey Clementine, where are the turbos for the buggy?" I ask.
"I thought you would want to help with rgat," She answered.
"So it hasn't ran with boost yet?" I ask
"Nope," Clementine answered.
"Ok," I responded.
We finished eating and went find Oscar and Jack so we could head into town. Oscar was asleep and Jack left a few hours prior to us waking up on his motorcycle.
We had nothing to do so me and Clementine took the opportunity to work on the buggy make it look good and naming it. The brand is "Night Wolf" so that's what we are going to call it. We took some poster board and cut it into it. Then we lay it down on the hood and spray painted it down in red and blue with the rest of the buggy being black to mach the name.
As we were painting, Matthew went to explore. He wandered around, walking through different doors. He walked up to one that looked different from the others and as he walked inside, the door shut and locked behind him. He was locked inside and started to panic. He started to whine and howl, but no one could hear him.
An hour passed and I realized he hadn't returned yet. I started walking down the halls trying to find him when I hear a small yelp come from a nearby room.
I walk up to the door and say, "Matthew?"
"Yes! Yes it's me! I can finally be saved from this dark room." He exclaims.
"How did you get trapped in there?" I asked.
"I walked in and the door locked behind me." He answered.
"Ok, give me a second. I'm going to go get help."
"Don't be long. I'm scared of the dark." He says.
I ran to go find help and as I run around a corner I collide head first into Clementine.
"Ow, that hurt! You idiot." Clementine said angrily.
"I'm sorry, but I found Matthew. He got locked inside a room over on the left corner of the sanctuary."
"Oh, that's not good." She says in a worried tone.
"Yeah." I say.
We run back to the room. The door was still locked and Matthew is still whining inside. She kicks the door and we hear a scream.
"A warning would be great next time please." Matthew says.
"Sorry." Clementine says.
"We need to find a way to get the door open. I got it! Go pull the buggy over here. I got a plan." I say.
"That sounds dangerous," she says. "I like it! Be right back."
As she ran back to get the buggy she runs in to Jack who just came back from his journey.
"Hey, Jack! Back so soon." She asks.
"What happened?"
"Nothing. Matthew got trapped in a room." She said.
"And what was y'all's plan to get him out?" He asked.
"I don't know exactly but Oliver said to bring the buggy back," She explained.
"That sounds dangerous. Y'all are not doing that." He says.
"Yes, sir." Clementine responds.
"Without me," he said, sounding excited.
"Really!" She exclaims.
"No! You two are still in trouble from yesterdays stunt," he states.
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that." She said sadly.
"Let's go get Matthew out."
As they walk up to me I panic and try to act like everything is ok.
"Hey, Jack!" I say trying to stay calm.
"He knows," Clementine says.
"Yeah and we are not pulling the door down," He says
"Why not?" I ask.
"Because that is dangerous," He answered.
At that time he pulls a key out of his pocket and puts it in to the lock, turns it, and the door swings open, and Matthew comes flying out and tackles Jack to the ground.
"Thank you, thank you!" He says while lying on top of Jack,
"Get off of me." Jack says.
"Sorry," Mathew says.
"Where did you get a key from?" I ask.
"I have keys for everything in here," Jack answered. "Now we need to get back up front, I have something for y'all to do."
"Yes, sir," We respond.
As we walk back I noticed Matthew seemed worried about something.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Nothing. I'm just thinking about that dark room. I was scared and I lived in the forest for weeks." Matthew says.
"Well you're out now and if Jack will let us, I can give you a ride on the buggy later and let you get some fresh air." I say.
"Sure! That sounds fun."
We continue walking and when we get to the front of the sanctuary I see a giant box covered up by a sheet.
As we walk up to it, something inside it starts to moan and move around. Jack yanks off the sheet and it was a metal cage with the same infected that had attacked me yesterday.
"How is that possible! I killed him." Matthew exclaims.
"It takes a direct hit to the head or heart to kill an infected. You can cut there heads off and they will srill live," Jack explains.
"So why did you bring this one here?" I ask.
"So we can figure out a more affective way of killing them or try curing it."
"What do you mean curing it?" I ask.
"Well, we take some of your blood since the virus effected you differently than them. We inject your blood into him and see what happens."
"Um...ok but what happens if he goes crazy?" I ask.
"Then we kill him," Jack explained.
"Ok, let's do it." I say.
I sit down in a chair and Clementine sits next to me and whispers to herself, "This is going to end badly."
Jack puts a small needle into my arm and starts taking blood. In a few minutes he has three full vials of my blood.
He takes one vial and walked up to the infected, pulls the blood out of the vial into a needle and stabs the infected in the arm.
The infected stood there calmly and when he had all the blood in him, he began to mutate and started getting bigger.
"Kill it!" Clementine screamed.
Jack takes a sawed off shot gun, aims it and blows half of its face off. Nothing happenend and he just kept mutating.
"Great, now it's unstoppable!" Clementine exclaims.
"We need to find a way to stop it. It seems like my blood made it immortal." I say.
At that time he breaks out of the cage and Matthew comes running past me and jumping at the infected, cutting it at the head, neck and chest. But it still doesn't fall.
Everyone was attacking it now but it's doing nothing. The infected still continued to grow and get stronger.
Then I have a thought. A really stupid thought that might kill this thing.
I know I'm immortal but I don't think I will walk away from this, plus it's going to be extremely painful.
"Hey Jack, I think I know how to kill it." I say.
"Do whatever it takes," Jack said.
Then I run over to Clementine.
"Hey I think I know how to kill it but your not going to like it and I might not come back from it."
"No. I don't feel like losing you again." She says with tears in her eyes.
I kiss her just in case I don't get a chance to do it after this and then I start running toward the infected. He screamed menacingly as I jump into his mouth and start climbing down his throat.
Right before I fall into the stomach acid, I stop and I pull out a belt of grenades I swiped when I was running toward him. I pull all the pins and drop the belt.
A few seconds later the grenades go off, exploding him from the inside out and then everything goes black.
