"As long as we're together..." A Pewdiecry.
By Forgotten Voices.
Chapter one: Outbreak.
Pewdie's {Felix} POV
"Felix!" Marzia shouted from down the hallway.
"Ja?" Felix hollered back.
"Food is ready!" Marzia said happily.
"Be right there!" Felix answered. But he didn't go right away. Felix found himself too engrossed by the game he was playing, which happened to be Dead Island with Chaoticmonki.
"Come on man, go eat." Cry said laughing.
"My belly can wait. The zambies can't." Felix joked.
"Indeed they cannot, sir." Cry said. Felix smiled when he said this, happy that he wanted to play more of the game with him.
"Hey, there's a bunker. We can hide there-" Felix started, but was cut off by a loud shriek.
"Marzia!" Felix cried. He jumped up from his chair, forgetting to take off my his headphones, which broke at the cord. Not even paying attention to my his broken headphones, he ran to the kitchen to find Marzia.
"Marzia are you ok-"
Felix looked down. Around his feet was a puddle of crimson.
"Oh god..." He mumbled. Felix didn't have to look to know where the blood was coming from but he had to know for certain. Felix let his eyes follow the red puddle to it's source; a wide eyed Marzia with her throat torn out, her face frozen forever in a silent scream. Her wide, mahogany eyes looked hollow and cold. She look as though she could come back to life any minute, but even Felix knew that was the talk of the ignorant.
"Oh god, Marzia. I'm so sorry..." He whispered, silent tears falling from his face. Felix wasn't able to grieve long as something hard came down upon his head. Everything went to black.
"Pewds, please, please wake up... Pewds please, I need you..." A quiet male's voice whispered. The voice was so familiar, but Felix can't place it in his state.
"Pewds, if your gone, I-I don't know what I'd do..." The voice said again. Felix couldn't do anything though, he was frozen in darkness. Felix tried to hang on to the voice, to find my way back to the surface but it was always just that much out of his grasp.
"Please... please Felix... don't leave alone with them... Felix, don't make go on without you..." The voice said louder. This time he heard it clearly and followed it to the surface, ready to breach.
Felix's eyes started to flutter, but his head hurt too badly for him to open them yet. Felix could only grunt with the pain.
"Oh thank god!" The voice said with glee. Felix tried to open my eyes again, this time with more success as he actually opened them. Just a crack but the light stung them into submission. His vision was seriously blurred and out of focus. But after what seemed like five minutes, the two blurred images of the man became one.
"Oh Pewds, I thought I lost you." The man said with a tear stained, sweet face.
"Who... are you?" Felix asked confusedly. The man had wavy brown hair; medium length, and striking emerald eyes that were puffy from crying. His face was simple, yet not a blemish was to be seen, other than a few droplets of dried blood on his cheek. He wore a light gray T-shirt with dark blue jeans. The man lost his smile and seemed to look hurt. He raised his hand to slide through his hair and as he did so his expression change from one of hurt to one of realization.
"Pewds, it's me; Cry." The man said. Felix's eyes widened as he took in the true appearance of his masked friend.
"You probably didn't recognize me without the mask." He said with a weak smile. His cheeks turned slightly pink as he watched me with my mouth agape as I stared at him.
"Cry..." Felix said absentmindedly.
"Okay Pewds, your starting freaking me out." Cry said nervously. Then Felix remembered the pain he was in and cringed. Felix looked around him only to find that they were surround by stalactites and stalagmites, with water dripping from the rain outside. He looked around himself to find that he was wrapped in a blanket with one word on it: "Sup." Ha, typical. Felix's back was propped up with a pillow and he was facing a fire. The pain didn't lighten and he groaned in frustration.
"What in the earth happened?" Felix asked, rubbing his head. Cry lost his smile.
"... Pewdie, your not going to believe me." Cry said gently. Then, memories flooded into Felix's mind; a scream, the puddle, Marzia... then darkness.
"Tell me Cry. I need to know." Felix said without emotion. Cry looked away and stared off into space.
"When I heard Marzia scream over your microphone... I knew something was wrong. I remembered that you were visiting here in LA and I got in my car and started over to your house. I know I didn't have to, but something within me told me you were in danger." Cry began.
"Me? In danger?" Felix asked, confused.
"Look, I can't explain it, its just like every fiber of my being was screaming 'Go to him' and I didn't hesitate." Cry said, the color rising in his cheeks. "But then, as I was driving to your house, there were people on the streets... just lying there... dead. I didn't understand it, but I kept on driving, worry rising within me. Then I noticed some people walking, well actually they were more staggering. I looked at one as I past by, and instead of a person, I saw a beast with glowing green eyes..." Cry paused. He then looked toward Felix.
"I knew that I needed to get to you, and quick. I pulled up to your house, didn't even bother knocking, because the door was open. I heard footsteps coming from your kitchen and ran to find you on the ground with a shape of a man next to you. It was on top of Marzia... eating her." Cry said gingerly, looking away as his eyes started to water.
"My first instinct was to kill the fucking thing. I was just so angry Pewdie... I grabbed a kitchen knife and slit the goddamn monster's throat!" Cry said with a low growl. He swallowed hard then and continued.
"When I was sure that the godforsaken creature was devoid of life, I turned my attention to you. Thank god you weren't heavily bleeding, but that's not to say I didn't see the trickle of blood coming down your forehead. I then put my ear to your chest and I heard the drumbeat of your heart, as slow as it was, but it was there. As I was about to try to wake you up, I heard more of them coming into the house, so I slung you over my shoulder, sneaked out the back entrance of your house, and made my way to my car. Then I drove us to my house where I grabbed everything that might have been of use and drove us high into the peaks were I found this cave. I figured those daemons wouldn't be up here, because they want people right? And this is about as desolate of a place as you can get. I spent the rest of time watching over you and tending to the fire." Cry finished.
Felix took a minute to process everything he'd heard. Marzia... Felix felt the tears welling up again. No. Be had to be strong right now, he owed that to Cry at the very least. He had been brave when trouble faced him, and Felix needed to do the same. Felix decided to change the subject.
"How long was I out?" Felix asked.
"Two days." Cry replied.
"Two days?!" Felix shouted.
"Shh! We may be out of the way but that doesn't mean they can't find us." Cry reminded.
"Sorry, but why didn't you wake me?" Felix asked.
"Don't you think I tried? But trust me, you were out for the count, Sir." Cry laughed. Felix admired Cry for that, even in the grimmest of circumstances, he kept a light mood.
A silence filled the space between them and the only sound was the crackle of the fire.
"Pewds, about Marzia..." Cry started.
"No Cry. It's okay. I wouldn't have wanted her to have to fight for her life in this world now. She deserved better. At least now she is at peace, and doesn't have to go on with life on the godforsaken earth." Felix said, his eyes falling to the ground.
"I just wish... I just wish I would've went to dinner when she'd asked. Then maybe I could have saved her life, or I could have died instead of her." Felix mumbled coldly.
"Pewds, don't talk like that. I don't even want to think about what I would have done if you had been dead. I probably would have ended it then and there. You saved my life just as much as I saved yours." Cry said while looking Felix dead in the eyes with a hard look. Felix didn't break the eye contact, but instead, outstretched his arms as an invitation for a hug. Cry hesitated, but came closer and hugged Felix tightly. They both clung to each other and began to weep. The two held onto each other for dear life it seemed.
Felix and Ryan stayed like that for an hour it seemed, but broke apart after a while and wiped their eyes.
"What now?" Felix asked.
"Hell Pewdie, does it look like I know?" Cry laughed nervously.
"Well, does your car have a radio?" Felix asked.
"Oh yeah! Good thinking Pewds! You're actually really smart, people don't give you enough credit for that." Cry said, referring to the time we played a Co op of Portal 2. Felix smiled softly and shook his head at the reference.
"Let's go and listen to see what the hell is going on." Felix said.
"Lead the way." Cry replied.
