[R/D]chapter twelve: mystery mutant.

Toby POV~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up with the light shining in my eyes through a crack in the wall, Jack's asleep on his backpack and (y/n) fell asleep on the clawed, it just purrs and lays its head on theirs.

"Hey, we gotta go...!"
I whisper to jack.

"Huh...what? Oh, oh shit! How long have we been sleeping?"
Jack asks, I shrug.

"Hm...?"
(Y/n) mumbles, raising their head, the clawed pats their head, making them smile and chuckle.

"Morning Noah, ready to head out?"
They ask, the clawed nods and jumps up.

"Alright everyone, let's head out!"
(Y/n) says, getting up and grabbing their backpack, I sigh and do the same, we all walk out the door and back on the road.

I wish we left the clawed behind.

"I spy with my little eye...something green!"
Jack says.

"Is it the moss on all the buildings...?"
(Y/n) asks.

"Uh...yeah."
Jack says with a small chuckle.

"I spy with my little eye, something shiny and green!"
(Y/n) says, I almost immediately know what it is and scowl, it has to be that thing they calls Noah's eye, they've been so attached to it since the hotel incident, like it's some kind of pet to them.

"The grass?"
Jack asks.

"Nope!"
(Y/n) says, 'Noah' points to the moss on all the buildings.

"No, not that either Noah!"
(Y/n) says with a chuckle, making it smile.

"The cla--Noahs eye?"
I mumble, the clawed let's out an odd growl that sounds like a gasp, clutching over it's long gone heart dramatically. [Noah is fun to write, muertos with a human brain...fun!]

"Yep!"
(Y/n) says, the clawed growls happily and wraps one of its disgusting arms around them, I swear, its gotten more human-like.

We keep walking until we come across an office building, almost as tall as the building me and Jack had to run up to get (y/n).

"Hey jack, do you have any snacks on you? I havent eaten in a while."
(Y/n) says, Jack searches his pockets, then grabs his backpack and checks that.

"Nope, damn...we're outta food."
Jack says.

"Well, theres a building right there, we could search it and find something!"
I suggest, usually I'd just say we'd find something on the road, but I'm really counting on the hopeless romantic clawed to swoop in and get eaten by one of the dead in here.

"You sure? Business places are probably filled with los muertos, we'd have to be really careful in there."
(Y/n) says, I smile, why do they always make me this happy? That's not even something i would normally smile about...!

"Yeah, we should probably get some supplies, the truck place is still at least an hour or so away, we'll be pretty weak, cant fight zombies when you're hungry!"
Jack says.

"Alright then...stay close Toby."
(Y/n) says, I smile and the clawed looks at me with a scowl.

"Of course, I wouldn't dream of leaving without you!"
I say, Jack groans at my excitement.

"Please just get in the damn building, I'm pretty hungry."
Jack says, pushing us in.

We walk into the building, the smell of rotting flesh and fresh blood is everywhere, making me hold back a gag, I can't make noise in a place like this, the last thing we need is the dead finding us.

"Okay, let's split into groups, Toby, since I can't watch you and the clawed probably hates you, you'll be with (y/n), they can protect you."
Jack says, he'll yes! Thank god for Jack's short attention span with me...!

"Alrigh, be safe Noah!"
(Y/n) says, walking off with me, the clawed sadly does a bad version of waving to them.

Me and (y/n) walk into one of the buildings with mini offices, there's a lot of blood and moved tables, I think these poor people tried to block off the dead when this all started...poor people.

"Alright, you search there, and I'll search in here."
(Y/n) says, reaching out for a drawer, I catch a glimpse of where they were bitten, how are they not showing signs of turning yet?

"Hey...how's the bite?"
I ask.

"Hm? Oh, it's alright, it doesn't hurt anymore, so I'm okay."
(Y/n) says with a smile.

"I'm sorry I didn't get the clawed before it bit you...I should've gotten there quicker."
I say.

"Toby, it's alright, I'm not gonna be one of los muertos."
(Y/n) says.

"I don't understand how that's even possible...but I wanna trust you, so I'm gonna take your word for it."
I say, (y/n) smiles, and it feels like my heart is skipping beats when they do it.

"I'm really glad you trust me, I'll explain everything you wanna know once we get to Denver, okay?"
(Y/n) says.

"Okay...I'll protect you better from now on too! I won't let you get bitten ever again...!"
I say, confident of my words.

"Thank you."
(Y/n) says, my face feels really hot when they say anything, I feel so dizzy and light headed..

They search over the drawers, I just watch them, being around them makes me feel so secure, yet so paranoid that if I turn away, they'll be gone again...I don't want that, they're really important to me, and I don't know why...

"Found something!"
(Y/n) says, holding up a box with mini boxes of snacks, like chips and snack cakes.

"Woah...!"
I say.

"Let's go meet up with the others, they'll be happy to see this..!"
(Y/n) says, I nod and we walk out of the graveyard that used to be so clean and comfortable.

We walk around the building, but Jack and the clawed are nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they...?"
I ask.

"I don't know...maybe they got comprised?"
(Y/n) mumbles, right after they say that, a loud roar and a sudden bang echoes through the halls.

"A clawed?"
I ask.

"No...that sounds deeper than any clawed I've heard..."
(Y/n) says.

"Hey...Jack said where we were going, clawed's weren't the worst thing wed see...what else is in new York that we haven't seen?"
I ask.

"I don't know...but whatever it is, Jack and Noah might be in trouble, lets--"
(Y/n)'s cut off by another roar, and something walks out from a part of the halls, (y/n) lunges towards me and pushes both of us under a table, and a large, mutant-like thing limps it's way across the halls.

it's claws are much longer than a clawed's, and it's legs and arms are highly damaged, it's taller than 6 feet....it looks like something a parent would tell their child about to keep them inside at night.

"Fuck...we can't make it past that thing without getting ripped in half, Noah must've seen it and taken Jack somewhere, they're probably stuck in one of these rooms, it looks like the mutant is patrolling this part of the halls, it must've seen them run into somewhere here."
(Y/n) says.

"Okay, let's get them and go....!"
I say, they nod and look around for the mutant, while I think of something to do, maybe this is the time to leave the clawed..? I can push it towards the Mutant and say it fell behind, Jack and (y/n) would never know...yeah...i can definitely do that...

Bye-bye you rotting fucker....
