She's the first

Part12

"Come on Brooke wake up or you will be late" I felt someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Jeff. "What am I doing today?" I asked.
"Your being a slicer...enjoy" he said making a gagging face.

"Jeff I don't wanna kill the animals. I like them" I said frowning as I put on my boots. He gave a sorry smile. "I know, just trying not to think about it" he said. He handded me a paper bag. "What's this?" Your breakfast, you missed it but I brought it to you so you could have some extra sleep...I saw Newt carrying you out late last night. He said you only just fell asleep. Said you were scared for Gally"he explained handing my weapons. I grabbed a hair tie and pulled my hair up into a lose bun pulling a few bits out the front. "Thanks Jeff.... Is he ok?" I asked as I pulled off my hoddie leaving me in a grey tank top. I strapped the knife to my thigh and put my bow and arrows on my back.

Jeff opened his mouth to answer when I heard a scream of pain. My head shot to the source of the sound, it was coming from Gally's room in the homestead. "Considering, he is okay" he answered. "So enough chat go to the blood house, eat your bacon roll oh and there is water in there too" he said shoving the paper bag at me once again. I nodded and he said bye and started jogging towards the homestead. I quickly ate my roll and drunk a quarter of the bottle of water. Then I ran to the bloodhouse. I knocked on the door of the barn and winston came out.

"Good not late...ok so this fist half of the morning you will feed the animals you will need to go to frypan with the bucket to get the pigs food. then you will help me inside the barn" he said as he handed me a large bucket of animal feed. I nodded not saying another word. I climbed over the fence of the chicken pen and started putting the feed in the trays for them. I climbed back out and went to where the goats and sheep were.

I climbed over and fed them. A baby goat came up to me and tried to head-butt my leg as hard as it could. It was only small so it didn't hurt. I let out a small laughed and grabbed a handful of food for it and knelt on the floor for to feed it. When it had finished it looked up at me. The markings around its mouth made it look like it was smiling. I went to pet it's head but it ran away to a bigger goat. I guessed that it was its mum. I smiled and finished feeding them.

Then I went to frypan to get the pigs food. "Hey fry, I've been sent for stuff for the pigs" I said walking up to him. "Don't come into the kitchen!" He said. I nodded knowing he loves his kitchen and wouldn't like people in there. He brought a big trash can out filled with left overs. He pored it all into the bucket. "Enjoy your day greenie" he said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and walked back to the animal pens.

I poured the the leftover food into the pigs thing that they eat out of (I can't remember the word for it- stupid memory wipe). After I did that I went and knocked on the barn door. Winston opened it, a confused look on his face. Blood covered plastic apron on. I tried not to look at it.

"Why do you keep knocking?you can just come in" he asked confused. I shrugged. "I don't wanna see you killing anything" I mumbled. "Oh gosh I can tell you won't be able to do this side of it...you gonna try if at-least watch?" I gave a small nod bit wanting to disappoint anybody.

He stepped to the side and I saw a dead animal in a big table. I teared my eyes away from it. "Your going to watch me and then you are going to copy" he said taking a butchers knife. I nodded and watched as he butchered a sheep. I tried not to think about it once being alive and before I knew it, it was my turn. I slipped in on some long glove to keep the blood off my hands. Winston then turned away and grabbed a chicken and broke its neck. I gagged and winced at it.

I cut where I though I was supposed to, feeling sick to my stomach. "Brooke, not like that. Your hacking at it, just do one deep cut. I nodded. I pushed the knife deeper into the meat. The knife slipped from my hand and sliced through the palm of my hand. I sucked in a deep breath. "Ahh shit,shuck... Oww!!" I shouted and winstons head shot around to look at me. "Greenie are you okay?" He said rushing over. I shook my head,no. He nodded.

"Ok go to Clint and Jeff, don't worry about coming back. I knew you wouldn't react well to this" he said. I nodded. I ripped the, now ripped, plastic gloves off my hands-which were now covered in a mixture of my own and wheels blood- and jogged out of the barn and strait to the homestead. I gripped my hand tightly and I barged through the door. A surprised looking Jeff standing there.

"Shuck, Brooke what did you do?" He asked eyes wide as he ran over to me and pulled me into a room. "I was with winston and the knife slipped" I said hissing through pain. It burns and stings. Jeff nodded and grabbed a bottle of liquid. It was anti-septic. "No Jeff that's gonna kill" he said standing from the chair he had pushed me into. "I have to, I'm sorry but it will hurt a lot less than me needing to cut off an infected hand" he said getting a rag and socking it in the liquid. "This is gonna hurt" he said. I glared at him. "But you already knew that" he mumbled. He pushed the rag to my sliced hand and I hissed. "Shit it stings really bad" I whined.

Jeff finished burning my hand with acid and had started washing off the now dried blood. He got a white piece of cloth and tied it tightly around my palm.
"Thank you" I said once he had finished. He smiled. "No problem, here you need to put this on it again tonight then it will scab over. It wasn't that deep so you don't need stitches or anything. Just keep it wrapped in cloth, and keep it tight" he spoke, he sounded a bit like a bossy older brother. I nodded understanding. "Now go eat something... And yes Gally is fine. He hasn't been thrashing or screaming much today. We are expect him to wake up late today or tomorrow" he said, like he could read my mind.

I walked towards the door to go and get some food. "Hey after I have eaten, can I come and help with Gally? So you and Clint can focus on other things" I asked. Jeff nodded. I smiled and went and ate a sandwich and a apple for lunch.
