Born 2 Kill

Chapter 2

"Stop following me."

Despite Demetri's protests, Hunter continued to follow him.

"I'd rather not be alone, thank you very much. I was getting tired of being cooped up in my house anyways," Hunter pointed out. He had easily switched to animalistic sounds as a means of communication. He didn't exactly favor it, but it wasn't like he had a choice.

The scenery changed to that of a city. Hunter peered at Demetri questioningly.

"So why are we going here?" he asked slowly.

"I'm hungry."

Hunter blinked at the simple answer.

"Do you… eat humans?" he prodded, not liking where this was going.

"Survivors, yes. Sometimes you'll find the occasional group of people who are so desperately clinging to their lives. Pointless, really. They should just give up," Demetri said bitterly.

Hunter glared up at him.

"I don't think they should. I may be infected, but I still want people to live!"

Demetri let out a cruel laugh causing Hunter to regard him warily. He didn't realize this guy could be so cold.

"I'd love to see you think that when you have a pile of delicious human flesh next to you for the taking," Demetri challenged.

Hunter growled and took a few steps towards him.

"You're really starting to piss me off. How can you be so emotionless?!"

"Now you know how I've felt since I first laid eyes on you. I knew I wouldn't like you. I'm a monster, remember?" Demetri bit back.

"You… you…"

Hunter snarled and rushed at Demetri. The charge was easily avoided, however, and Demetri threw him to the ground. Hunter tried to struggle up but was held down by a body pressing into his back.

"Get… get o-"

Hunter gasped as he was cut off by something wet trailing his ear. He stiffened and shuddered at the sensation.

"St- stop that! No…!" he cried out weakly.

"Shut up. You talk too much."

Hunter's eyes widened as a moist appendage filled his mouth. He whimpered when he felt a pair of hands traveling along his side. The pleasure he was feeling from this disturbed him. He could fell that it was certainly affecting Demetri as well.

Demetri retracted his tongue then laced a hand through Hunter's hair, placing his mouth near the boy's ear.

"See what happens when you tick me off?" Demetri whispered in his ear, sending shivers through Hunter. He nodded weakly.

"Good."

Demetri bit into his victim shoulder, drawing a good amount of blood from him. He lapped up the liquid, ignoring Hunter's cries of pain.

Hunter felt dizzy as the weight disappeared. He stumbled back onto his feet and avoided further eye contact with his attacker.

"Don't do it again," Demetri muttered as he turned and stalked off to find survivors.

Hunter kept his gaze on the ground and tugged at the hem of his hoodie in an attempt to hide the evidence that a part of him had enjoyed the confrontation and then trailed quietly being his angry companion.

The two infected wandered the city for quite some time before Demetri threw his arms up in frustration.

"This is ridiculous. Not a single one, or at least not one that I can find," Demetri said with a sigh. "Guess we'll have to resort to the cheap stuff."

Hunter wanted to ask what he meant by that, but kept quiet as he watched Demetri walk up to a normal infected. His eyes widened as he took in the sight of Demetri pulling it up from the ground it was lazing around on and promptly ripping an arm off of it. Hunter cringed at the sounds of bone breaking. Demetri sniffed the limb then took a bite out of the flesh, glancing at his silent observer. He swallowed and motioned Hunter over.

"You need to eat. Don't argue. Here."

Demetri handed the limb to Hunter. The boy sniffed at it, then deciding it was better than to be forced to eat humans, he took a chunk out of it. Surprisingly, it didn't taste as bad as he thought it would, but it didn't taste good either. Hunter quickly devoured the flesh off the bone, unable to stop himself. The hunger was too overpowering.

"Now that wasn't so bad, was it?" Demetri teased with a grin.

Hunter didn't say anything, noticing the burning sensation he had been feeling in his throat ever since he woke from that dream was gone for the most part. There was still a tingling sensation, but he could deal with that.

Demetri finished off the other arm.

"Bleh… humans taste so much better."

Hunter bit his lip, knowing better than to say anything.

Demetri wiped the infected's blood off his mouth and hands on the sleeve of his collared shirt.

"Meh, let's keep moving. Even though we've eaten, I still want some human flesh…"

Hunter shuddered and reluctantly continued to follow Demetri.
