With Newtmas

The Kid

THOMAS POV:

My hands were untied and I entered the room. I smelled a human. I looked around. There was men behind a glass wall. Guess they are studying us. I saw a table. One side had fresh food and the other was raw and expired. My mouth watered at the raw and expired side. I should wait for the other zombies though. Minho entered and the door was closed again. "So, I guess they are using us as lab rats" said Minho with his hands on his hips. "Well, atleast we have free food" I said. Minho nodded and sniffed the air. "Why the shuck do I smell a human" asked Minho. I shrugged. Teresa entered. She smelled the human two. We started sniffing with the scientist watching our every move. It's a boy. 8 or 6. No he's 5. Scared. I smelled where he was. I opened the cabinet under the sink and saw the boy. The door opened again and it was Brenda and Gally. They have to be delivered together because they refuse to leave each other. "What are you shanks doing" asked Brenda. "There is a little boy" said Teresa.

We all crowded around the cabinet. The guards entered to see what we were looking at. "How did a human child get in here" asked a guard. "We should test if he is already infected" said another guard. A man entered. He looked like the boys father. He walked up to us and squatted next to me. "There you are" said the man. He seemed angry. I could sense the boy's fear. The man tried to grab the boy but I grabbed his arm and stopped him. A gun was pointed at my head. "Newt come out here" said the man. "No, you'll hit me again" said the boy. The man frowned and yanked Newt out of the cabinet. Newt yelped and his dad hit him. "If you didn't misbehave I wouldn't have to hit you" said the man. I dived and grabbed Newt. A guard shot me in the leg and the other zombies stood in front of me. I held Newt in my arms. "Fine, let the zombies have him. He is a disappointment anyway" said the man. The guards left and went back to bringing zombies in. I held Newt as he cried. I sat up and looked at the zombies.

"What are we suppose to do with him" asked Brenda. I rubbed Newt's back and licked his cheek. Soulmates. "He's my soulmate. So I'll raise him and when he is older I will turn him into a zombie" I said. The others agreed and we later ate. I noticed Newt wasn't eating. I grabbed some fresh food and gave it to Newt. Newt slowly took the plate and started eating. I went back to eating my own food. After we ate we were put back in our cages. I laid on my bed in pain. My leg still hurt. Newt sat in the corner away from us. I can't blame him. He must be scared to death. The zombies who were doctors removed the bullet and stitched up my leg. I was left alone with Newt. He was crying. I walked up to Newt and sat next to him. I hugged Newt and heard him tense up when I touched his back. I broke the hug and took Newt's shirt off. I looked at his back and was surprised. I carried Newt to see the doctors. "It looks infected" said Jeff. "Will he be okay" I asked. "Ya, we just need to remove the infected stuff and patch him up" said Jeff.
