Tiny (TST+TDC)

~ Chapter 10 ~

When they woke up they instantly sprang into action. Zara got up and collected all the guns and assigned them to different people. 

Brenda and Jorge and her were going in one car, Thomas and Vince in the other and they would drop Newt, Fry and the rest on the way to a hiding point. 

"Ok is everyone ready?" Thomas asked

"Has everyone gone to the toilet?" Zara asked

They just glared at her

"What? It's a valid question , can't have any accidents on the way"

"And she's the favourite?" Fry asked

She giggled and shrugged and they were about to set out on their mission. 

Zara got in the back of the car and hid under a blanket. She felt someone pull away the blanket and she looked up to see Newt. 

"You be careful ok?" He asked

"You too" she gave him a hug and went back under the blanket. Then the car took off. 

They were driving through plains for a while until they heard a buzzing noise above. Zara poked her head out a little but enough to see that it was a WCKD burg. 

"Guys we have company" She shouted loud enough for them to hear her. 

She jumped when she heard bullets being shot and metal being hit. They were shooting at them. 

That's when she felt a sharp burning pain in her arm. She looked at it and saw blood spreading rapidly over the blanket. 

"Shittt" She muttered. She clutched it in pain and started to breath heavily to slow her breaths in order to calm down.

"Come on, you've been bitten by a fucking zombie you can survive a simple gunshot" She said quietly to herself. While she has been in a lot of gun action, she was often careful enough to not get shot. 

She ripped a bit of the blanket and wrapped it around her arm. She hissed in pain as she tightened the fabric to compress the wound to stop the bleeding. 

Soon they came to a stop. She poked her head out to see they were at their destination. She looked over to see Newt and Fry and all the others apart from Thomas and Vince hiding where they should be. She took the blanket off to get a better look at the wound. There was blood all over her arm and the blanket. 

"Bloody hell what happened to your arm?!" Newt exclaimed as he rushed over. 

"No go back to your spot, they'll be here any second!" She retorted as she shooed him away. He gave her a stern look and continued to try and inspect her arm.

"It's only been shot it's not like it's falling off" She rolled her eyes. 

"It will be if you don't treat it properly" 

"Yeah well a bunch of kids are about to not be treated properly if we don't do what we came here to do which we are not because your meant to be over there" 

He gave me a this-isn't-over look and went back behind a bush. 

Soon there were several WCKD guards who came up to the car and had their guns aimed at them. 

Then gradually Newt, Fry and all of the people started coming out of their hiding spot and they realised they were outnumbered. 

Zara shot a few guys while Newt shot the others. Then the train came to a halt in front of them.

She climbed up on top of it with her one good arm and started shooting the guards that Thomas and Vince were poorly attacking. 

Newt managed to get the cart free from the rest of the train and they hooked it up to the burg. Zara held on to one of the ladder handles as the burg flew off. She grinned at their success. It was a shame they couldn't save everyone but they were going to overthrow WCKD eventually. 

They came to a halt at an abandoned area where they could stay for the night. Zara set up a bed next to Brenda and Sonya on one side of the building. She hid her wound with a jacket she found on the floor in the building seeing as the arm of her former jacket had been ripped off to hide her crank bite before. 

She decided she would deal with it tomorrow and for now just try and sleep. 

"psst Zara" she heard Sonya whisper

"Yeah?"

"Get up we want to gossip" 

She got up and saw Brenda awake too giggling like a schoolgirl. She smirked and rolled her eyes. She sat up and began to join the conversation.

"Sorry but Thomas is hot"  Brenda said

"Oh yeah 100% agree" Sonya agreed, They looked at Zara to agree. She was startled that they wanted her to answer that

"He's alright i guess" She shrugged. 

After about 40 minutes of pure gossip, they got tired and went to sleep. 

A few hours later Zara woke up with a gut wrenching pain in her arm. She bit her lip to stop her from crying. She got up and headed to the 'kitchen' which is just where Fry set up his food area for the next morning. She turned on the light and got some water to pour on her wound. 

When she turned around she saw Newt and Thomas standing there looking like they'd caught a thief. Zara couldn't even form words because the pain was so bad, she just stood there while her eyes watered and a few tears slipped down her face. 

When they noticed the few tears, they dropped their disappointed and angry expressions and switched to sympathy. They went to hug her but she backed away

"I'm fine it was just my eyes bothering me" She said as she rubbed her eyes to add to the story. 

"Zara you're sitting down right now and we are fixing that arm of yours" Newt demanded. She rolled her eyes and sat down

"Honestly it's fine" She continued. She just earned cold glares. 

Thomas got a med kit and sat next to Newt who was in front of Zara. 

He unwrapped the fabric to reveal a bloody arm and hole in her arm. She winced at the sight.

Newt moved her arm around a bit to inspect it. He looked at Zara sympathetically and said

"The bullets still in there, we can't leave it in so..."

"Yeah i know what that means, get it over with"

"Zara that's gonna hurt, a LOT" 

"Yup" She breathed and readied herself. Thomas held on to her hand and told her to squeeze it when it hurt.

Newt first of all cleaned the wound so there wasn't any blood around it so he had a clear view. Then he grabbed some tweezers and took a deep breath. 

He looked at her for confirmation and she nodded. He gave her his best attempt at a reassuring smile and dug into the wound. Zara instantly clamped her eyes shut tight instead of screaming. 

"I'm so sorry" Newt whispered to her as he focused on locating the bullet.

Zara was squeezing Thomas' hand so hard it went red but he could only imagine that that was an eighth of the pain she was going through. 

A few more minutes of compressed screams and digging around in the wound for the bullet went past and Newt had finally pulled it out. 

Zara leaned back in her chair and sighed, she was sweating and breathing heavily. She let go of Thomas' hand which probably was bruised by now. 

"Sorry" she said in regards to his hand. He waved it off and smiled. Newt cleaned up the wound again and stitched it up. He then put a clean bandage on and was all done

"Sorry you had to go through that" He said once he washed his hands

"It's fine, thanks for helping me" She smiled and hugged him. 

"No problem kid, now get some sleep!" He laughed little bit and waved goodbye. 

She said goodnight to Thomas and went to bed. 

Apparently Minho wasn't on that cart which means, more hell is to come.

A/N: That was fun
