The Protogen's Pet

Chapter 13 - Going Places

Jonathan P.O.V.

I got called over to the meeting room. I shuffled my way through the crowd of people, and went in.

Inside the room was a big circular table, and a white board. I see Paulina, Lewis, and 8 other people I didn't recognize.

???: Alright, listen up. We've been low on medical supplies, and there are people getting injured left and right. We're gonna send you all in pairs, so you can get them, come back. Do NOT get caught, or else...we're doomed.

???2: Drama queen.

???: Shut up. Okay, here are the list of groups.

On the whiteboard, I see that I'm with with someone called Sam.

???: There are 6 different locations for potential medical supplies, memorize a location and go there.

Sam: Hey there, you're Jonathan, right?

Jonathan: Yup. Okay, let's go to the hospital, there is bound to be supplies there.

Sam: You sure? Since it is the first obvious coice, I think it could already be raided by people before us. Maybe the school? I heard it was one of the first places that got attacked, so people didn't go there for refuge.

I hate to admit it, but he's got a point.

Jonathan: Funny thing, I was in that school when I was attacked.

Sam: Really!? How'd you escape?

Jonathan: I threw a chair at one of them, and ran out the fire exit.

Sam: Lucky, my little sister went to that school, and I haven't seen her since. I hope she's hiding somewhere.

Jonathan: She's probably dead.

Sam: Hey, gotta hope for the best.

Jonathan: So then it hurts more.

He looks at me with a glare, but says nothing.

Matthew P.O.V.

Zircon: Cmoooooooon!~ Open up!~

A few hours after Zircon left, he came back. Now he's trying to feed you.

Matthew: I can e-eat by myself, y'know...

Zircon: Just let me feed you, pumpkin. Don't you like my cooking?

Matthew: I d-do, but-*nom*

Zircon: Caught ya off guard!~ But if you like it, why not eat it?

You give up and let him put food in your mouth.

Zircon: All done!~ Snuggle time!~

Matthew: Eep!

He latches onto you, and cuddles you. You feel his chest fur on your face, and other fur wrap around your body.

Zircon: So small...so cute...

Matthew: ...Um...

It's...surprisingly relaxing. It would've been a nice place to sleep...if there wasn't an alien creature that murdered most of your species.

He suddenly stands up from his seat, lifting you up.

Zircon: Are you enjoying this, my sweet little cinnamon roll?~

Matthew: Uh....y-yes...?

Zircon: Aw, someones getting flustered!~

You bury your face in his fur, trying to hide your blush, but it's already too late. He carries you over to the library, and goes over to the shelfs.
