MacReady's POV

I had no chances now. I ordered everyone to be tied up, but Windows, Hess, Gold and myself.

"What for?" Garry asked.

"For your health," Gold replied for me.

"He's not gonna blow us all up!" Garry screamed.

"No, no let's do what Mac says." Clark said.

"That's close enough, Clark." I said and Mr Gold stood infront of me as if he was protecting me.

"You ain't tying me down." Childs said gritting his teeth.

"Then I have to kill you, Childs."

"Then kill me, Mac."

I walked forward holding my gun at him in one hand and the flamethrower in the other. "I mean it." I cocked the gun to give him my point.

"I guess you do," he shivered.

Suddenly Clark charged at me, but I spun around and shot him in the head. I noticed he had a knife in his hand. I then frowned. This thing gotten to far to make us go insane, but I had to finish the job. After we burn Bennings, Dr Blair got infected when one of our men was killed by the Thing. While trying to revive him, the stomach opened and his hands fell in. Before he could pull them out, his hands were chomped off by fangs around the abdomen.

Dr Blair fell back, and now the corpse came to life showing a long neck monster. Instantly I blasted fire at it. Once it was burnt to a crisp, Palmer, Windows and Gold turned behind us. "You gotta be f***ing kidding!" Palmer said.

I turned to see what they were. The corpse's head must've pulled off before getting burned. So I burned it instantly before it could get away.

And now here we are. Everyone tied up. Everyone going to be tested for blood. I knew instantly, the doc would turn since his arms were chopped off by the Thing, but even after Palmer tied him down with Clark's dead body, he wasn't changing.

"This is bullsh!t, Mac!" Palmer yelled.

"Finish it, Palmer!" I ordered.

"They're dead, Mac!"

Once he was tied up, I turned to Windows, "alright, draw everyone's blood."

"One little, thing the Doc showed me before he was killed. Gave me the idea. You see when a man bleeds, it just tissue. If any one of you is the Thing, a hot needle it will react. It will do anything to survive."

Once everyone drew blood, but Gold, everyone snapped. "Hey how come, Rumple doesn't have to you!?"

"He's human as much as we are!"

"Why won't you let Gold f***ing draw blood!?"

"Everyone calm the f*** down!" I yelled, "Gold doesn't have to because he's the wizard here. He can protect himself."

"M-maybe I should...just incase." Gold told me. He then turned to Windows and held his hand for him to draw his blood.

"Now you girls happy?" I asked. I took Gold's container of his blood and set it by mine. I ran the needle by my flamethrower to warm it up. Then I tested Windows' blood first. Nothing, "I guess you're ok."

I then turned to everyone will running the needle, "now I will show you two things what I already know." I tested my blood, nothing. After warming it again, I did Gold's. Nothing. "See. The Thing is so stupid, it wouldn't be able to take control of Gold."

"This is a crack of sh!t," Childs said gritting his teeth.

"Now Hess," I said. Nothings. "Thank the Lord."

I then tested Clark and Dr Blair. Nothing. Really? I could've sworn Dr Blair would be the Thing. So I did Clark.

"So Clark was human. That makes you a murderer," Childs said.

"No!" Gold snapped, "it was out of defense."

"Gold," Hess tried to calm him down still tied up in the chair by Nauls.

"Palmer now."

"This pure nonsense." Garry said.

"I thought you feel that way, Garry. We will do you last." I tested the blood, but a sharp cry happened so I dropped it. Palmer was the Thing? How?! He didn't touch the other or Dr Blair!

Palmer shook and soon his head bulged into a hideous monster. Mr Gold froze in fear seeing this. Palmer turned his head at him. Then he shook around making Childs and Garry scream. Nauls and Dr Hess even screamed. Once Palmer was free, he flung up to the ceiling.

"WINDOWS! Blast him before he gets to Gold!" I yelled.

Windows held his flamethrower at him. I turned to Gold and pushed him behind me, "Stay behind me!!!"

"Windows!" Everyone yelled, "Kill it! It's not Palmer!!! Kill it!"

Windows stood there in terror. He didn't know what to do. That's when The Thing spoke to him again.

I turned to Gold, his expression looked now he could understand The Thing now.

"Gold?"

Suddenly I heard Windows scream. I turned and half his body was inside the Thing.

"Windows! No Windows!" Everyone screamed.

I tried to turn the flamethrower on but it wouldn't, finally the Thing spat Windows out and threw him on the shelf. It came at us.

"D҉̣͍̓̎͗͜͜a҉͖̟̜̞̂̃̑̽͢͢͠͡r҉̵҉̛̠̩̥̋ͦ̆͆͟͞͡͞͠k҉̴̶̬͈̫̹͖̾̎ͭ́̍̐͜͜͝͠ O̷̵҉̢̭͚̜̠ͫͣ͐͢͟͢͠͞͝n̸͐̈́͟͟͝e̵̡̫̫͍͕̎ͭ̐͟͟͝͞, m̴̵҉̸̲̗̰̼͗͌̃̇͟͟͟͠͞͠u̶͖̖͆̊̈́͡͡s҉̝̭̦͚̑ͯ̌͡t҉̷҉̢͖͔̹͛̌͊͘͜͢͠͡͡ d҉̴̷̧̢̛̖͔̤ͯ̔̑̄͢͟͡͠i҉̧̯̤̙͔̑ͧ̅̔ͦ́͜͟͢͝͠e̵̡̫̫͍͕̎ͭ̐͟͟͝͞!"

"GET THE F*** BACK YOU SON OF A B!TCH!" I yelled.

Finally my flamethrower worked. I blasted him and he screamed in horror. I pushed Gold behind me more as the Thing screamed in agony running outside. "Oh no you don't!" I yelled at it. And threw dynamite at him. In a second he blew up in smitherings.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

We both came back and looked at Windows.

"Mac! Don't!" Mr Gold said. "Let me just see."

"Are you crazy, he definitely is infected by him." I said.

"Let me just check." Gold said.

Windows was crying and shaking in fear. No one could recognized him for all the blood on his face. Mr Gold then knelt by him, but didn't touch him. "You're gonna kill me now...are ya?" He sobbed looking at Gold.

"I'm afraid so." Gold said.

"I'm sorry...I tried...I was just scared. Can't you...can't you save me, Rumple?" Windows begged. "I-I don't wanna die. I have a wife at home. She's...she's pregnant."

Dear, God, now I felt guilty.

"If I could, I would do anything to save you, Windows." Gold said, "but I'm sorry, I can't...but if you want me to tell your wife anything, I will."

Windows quivered his bloody lip, "would you? Could you tell her, that I'm sorry? For everything. And I'm sorry I didn't make it home? And that I'm sorry I won't be there when our child is born? And tell her...that I...I-I...that I love her...?"

"Yes. Of course."

"I want a hug before I go...but I don't want to hurt you...." He sobbed.

"I know. I know. What will make everything better is this. You I am a Christian man right?"

He nodded.

"Tell Jesus your sorry and you know he's your savior. You won't be afraid of death...and you will be safe from all this."

"You mean that?" He asked.

Mr Gold nodded, "Want me to pray with you?"

He nodded.

"Gold..." I didn't want the Thing take over windows and Gold would be in danger.

"Just give us a minute, Mac." Gold said. He then turned to Windows. Windows closed his eyes so and repeated everything Gold said.

Once finished Gold looked up at him, "see you soon, brother."

"Thank you..."

Gold then got up and stood by me. He teared up and looked away. I teared up myself and blasted Windows. "I'm sorry," I said under my breath. "I'm sorry, Windows."

After stopping the fire, we tested the rest. Everyone was clean.

"Get me out! Cut me loose!" Childs screamed.
