Chapter 2: An Unexpected Savior

Hannah's P.O.V

I slowly opened the door to the safe house before stepping outside and closing the door behind me. On my last run into the mall, I had surprisingly lost my locket. It's the only thing I have in the memory of my parents, well…except my dad's and my mom's dog tags. But this locket still means that much to mean, and there's no way I'm leaving it behind. The only place I could've lost it would be near the fire escape.

It makes sense I got grab by some dumbass smoker with its fucking tongue, but I was lucky that it didn't trap both of my arms to my side, giving me the chance to cut its tough off and get free. So I guess I'll start my search there and if I don't spot it…it's probably down in the ally below…or long gone. Pumping up my shotgun, I made my way towards the fire escape that's only a few feet away from the safe house. Once I reached my destination, I looked down for anything shiny. Luckily it didn't take long till I spotted a glare off of something shiny on the second level.

Placing my shotgun on the ground, I swung my legs over the small concrete railing below stepping on the first metal platform and then began my climb down. I had reached the third level when I heard the sound of coughing before it was dead silent again. When I started to climb down to the second floor, I started to get an uneasy feeling that I was being watched. I looked around when I stepped onto the metal platform of the second level and looked around. It was really quiet and I didn't like that one bit…shaking my head, I focused on the task I was working on.

Hunter's P.O.V

I watched as the lone female hunter grab for something shiny, however, the shiny thing slipped through a small hole and was caught on a pipe below the metal platform she stood on. Surprisingly, she put herself on the opposite side of the railing and wrapped her legs around a small metal pipe before dangling herself upside down. She reached out and easily grabbed the shiny object in her hand. I watched in amazement, she certainly had no fear, no matter what the situation she's in. However, the sound of coughing got both, hers and my attention.

A smoker had been watching her just like I had, but he was intended on killing her. His tongue shot out and wrapped around her, the female's legs tighten around the pipe as she struggled viciously. I growled before I made my way towards the smoker at a rapid pace, and when I was in striking distance, I pounced on him and cut off his tongue. I quickly started to pull him apart and screeched in fury. Once I made sure there was nothing left of him, I turned back to the female to see her breathing heavily and looking directly at me.

She was hurt, and I growled at the remains of the smoker who was no more. She was like this because of him and he paid dearly for that. I turned and checked the female; she was headed back up to the safe house. I'll check on her when she returns to the safe house, I don't want to frighten her.

Hannah's P.O.V

I found myself in a battle for life or death as a smoker's tongue wrapped around me. It punned both of my arms this time and I was dangling by my legs. However, the pull disappeared suddenly which made me lose my grip with my legs and I found myself falling. Luckily, I managed to grab onto the bottom rail of the first level but my grip lost it and I fell onto the hard ground before. I took in a deep breath of air as I felt the air get knocked out of me and sat up painfully. I was going to be sore later on.

I heard the sounds of a smoker screaming in pain while the screeching of a…hunter in fury? I looked up where the smoker was and saw a hunter staring right at me. He didn't seem like he was going to kill me but I didn't want to take any chances with that. I quickly and painfully made my way up back up to the safe house. I could feel pain surround my entire body as I climbed back up to the roof and once I made it, I grabbed the shotgun and limped towards the safe house.

Once inside, I sat down on the bed in the corner of the safe house before taking off my boots, jacket, and shirt. I checked my feet first and saw that my right ankle was a little swollen, and then I checked my arms and back to see little scratches but some major bruises that were purple and black. God, I'm going to ach all over, but thanks to God, I had decided to stock up on my supplies before this happened. I slipped my shirt back on and grabbed a few painkillers and swallowed them down with a bottle of water before I wrapped my ankle with some gauze. Finally, I lay down on the bed and pulled the covers over my body, today was a long day and I needed some well needed rest.

Hunter's P.O.V

I watched the female survivor through the glass off the small window; she was okay, what a relief. What…why am I thinking these things again? Is there something that lures me to her, for me to protect her…to guide her…to love her? Wait a second! How can I be thinking these things, there's no way she would ever…ugh, love me.

I'm a Hunter, a mutated, mindless, and flesh eating zombie to her, but can I change that thought about me? Can I make her see that I don't want to harm her? I mean, I did save her life so that's a start and she didn't run away or anything like that when she saw me. Maybe there is a chance that she could like me but I can't get my hopes up. I'll take things slow and try to get to know her but I have to at least get near her without her shooting at me first.

I jumped onto the roof of the safe house and guarded the small structure from others who dare try to harm this female survivor. I will be here to always, no matter if she wants me near her or not.

Author's P.O.V

It was a peaceful night for the both of them, Hannah was sleeping with no disturbance and the Hunter stayed up all night watching over her. However, a feeling set over in the air, it felt like tomorrow's events were going to take an interesting turn.
