With Newtmas

When the Time is Right

NEWT POV:

I left the bathroom and started heading back to my hammock. I silently yawned and heard smacking. Is Thomas eating out here? He doesn't work because of the sun. He just sleeps all day so none of us talk to him. He claims that he burns easily and gets headaches. We have sun screen and most of us think he is just lazy because he said the sunscreen didn't work when he tried it. I decided to go check it out. I silently walked to find Thomas. I made sure not to make a sound or step on any branches. I made it and saw Thomas. I was surprised and froze. He is. Thomas had his back towards me and was eating a goat. Raw and straight from the body. My heart beated faster. Thomas is a monster. I have to tell the others. I stepped back and heard a branch snap under my feet. Thomas frowned and turned around with a growl. He had blood all over his mouth. Thomas relaxed when he saw me. I took another step back. "Newt" said Thomas standing up. I quickly ran. I ran as fast as I could.

Thomas tackled me and I screamed. "HELP" I screamed. I kept screaming. Thomas quickly covered my mouth. I cried and Thomas sat on top of me. He held me down so I couldn't move. I cried as I stared into Thomas' eyes. I some how felt calm. "Newt it's okay. I won't hurt you" said Thomas. I said nothing and took a sharp inhale. "I'm going to remove my hand okay? If you scream I'm covering your mouth again" said Thomas. He slowly took his hand off my mouth. "You" I started. "Please Newt, let me explain" said Thomas. I swallowed. "Okay, but I'm telling the others" I said. "No, Newt no one must know" said Thomas. He signed. "I'm a zombie. That's why I sleep during the day and can't work in the sun. I didn't expect anyone to be up" said Thomas. "I had to use the bathroom" I said. I know it was the worst excuse right now. Thomas hovered above me. "Newt, there are three options but I'll let you pick" said Thomas. "W,what are they" I stuttered. "1) you forget all of this, 2) I'll kill you, or 3" said Thomas.

"What's three" I asked. "I turn you into a zombie but you won't be able to work in the sun" said Thomas. I tried to think. Would Tommy actually kill me. I swallowed. I made up my mind I think. "Will it hurt if you turn me" I asked nervously. Thomas licked my cheek. I cringed a little. He has goat guts in his mouth. "No, I can take the pain away but I don't have to turn you right now" said Thomas. I signed. "Okay, but can you please tell me when you turn me" I said nervously. Thomas smiled. "Ya, however you won't be able to work" said Thomas. "I know, I'm just limited on options" I said. Thomas picked me up and carried me back to my hammock. Thomas laid me down and kissed my forehead. "Now get some sleep Newt. And started from today I'm your boyfriend" said Thomas. I blushed. I don't know why but I like that idea. "You realize the rest of the glade is going to hate that" I said. "Who cares. I just want to be your boyfriend and sleep in your hammock" said Thomas. I blushed harder. "Now you go back to sleep and I have a goat to finish" said Thomas. He wiped my cheek off and ran off to the woods. I smiled and closed my eyes. I'm already deeply in love with Thomas.
