Innocent

Chapter 7

*DIES* Okay, Let me get this off my chest for the moment. If you get a pop-up on your computer, telling you about a program called Anti-Virus Soft, and it says that it's your Computers Security Network and it found some Spyware, DO NOT BELIEVE IT! IT IS THE VIRUS THAT ONLY WENT AWAY AFTER MY BOYFRIEND WIPED MY COMPUTER TO THE BONE!! I lost all my music, all my games, and all my internet links! Worst of all: ALL MY FANFICS! I had even started to write this chapter, but then the Virus Hit and I lost it!

Also, I am Sorry that this one has Taking a really long time to Update, Several Things have Happened in my life recently, Like, My 18th Birthday coming up in a few Days (it's Tuesday now and my B-Day is on Thursday) The New Puppy in the House. His Name is Rusty and he is Sooo Sweet, I'll tell you about him later if you want and the last thing, which might impair me who knows how long, is my Busted up Nose. My Friends and I where Playing Red Rover in the Dark and I was Holding my Friend Liams hand as my Friend Rylee Tried to Run through us, well, we Held firm, but she kept going, causing me and Liam to bump heads Violently, my Nose on his Forehead and Well, The Force of the Hit cause the Bridge of my nose to slip open, making a Cut there, I also got a Nose bleed and I think he Flatted the Cartilage in my nose a bit…It's too swollen now to tell.

"Lookit guys! It's a house!" Ellis cried, pointing at the large white structure that seemed to have been through better days, it also used to be under construction.

"It's a mansion, you jackass." Nick said, slinging his shotgun over his shoulder.

The five of us had been wading through the swamp since the crack of dawn and had only run into one or two groups of zombies and mud men. The survivors were doing a good job of moving through the water quickly, while I on the other hand didn't quite have the whole 'walking on two legs' thing down yet. While the swamp was only up to their knees, if I were to walk the way I'm comfortable with I'd be up to my chin in thick, muddy water. The thought didn't hold well with me so I had taken to leaping from log to log, whenever I could find one. Rochelle said I reminded her of a frog, whatever that was. If I couldn't find a fallen tree, I'd take to the treetops for a bit, but I didn't like being so far away from the group.

I didn't like being so far away from Ellis.

We hadn't been fighting as much as we would normally have to, so I'd been thinking about what I've been feeling for Ellis and I had come to terms with them. I like Ellis; in fact I really like him. I want him to be more then a friend in my mind. Even just thinking about the feeling puts this fluttering and twisting feeling in my gut. At first it frightened me, but I grew to like it, because it was what I was feeling for was for Ellis.

"Let's go look around, it can't hurt and who knows, there might be a safe house inside." Ro said, looking optimistic about it.

"Or it could be filled with nothing but Witches and we're walking into a death trap." Nick grumbled under his breath in a sarcastic tone. No one else seemed to hear, so I ignored him, jumping from the thick log to a tree branch about me.

We made our way to the mansion rather quickly. Coach lead the way, with Ro and Nick following close behind, Ellis and I taking up the rear. We quickly made do of any zombies that where standing around mindlessly and I happened to think to myself 'Was I ever like that? So brainless and hunger driven?' and I was happier knowing I wasn't.

Nick came up with an idea to turn the mansion into a semi-reliable safe house. He took all the furniture that he could find and broke it into smaller pieces to board ourselves into the basement for the night. Our job was to kill two things: time and zombies. Lucky for us, both could be tackled at the same time. We had around 6 hours till night fall, if what I could tell from the sun was right. So, we had to hold off the zombies till Nick gave us the signal. For the first two hours, everything was going alright. Ellis and Coach took down most of the zombies, while Ro and I were looking for supplies. Coach found a radio and got the idea in his head that he could contact someone if he fixed it up enough. So he took it down to the basement, and I had to take his place guarding with Ellis, while Ro did the ammo and food scavenging alone.

Ellis and I were on the top floor, walking around the veranda as the sun was setting.

Aw Shit, man! Now I'm all nervous. I'm pretty sure if a horde starts comin' our way I'd be pretty useless. Mostly 'cuz Han is walking right next to me and she's pretty close. Despite all the zombie blood and guts and swamp water over both of us, she smells fantastic and now my pants are a little too tight. I'm praying to anybody up in the sky along with a quick one down below for good measure that she doesn't notice!

A wind swept through the forest and blew the little stray hairs that fell around her face. She smiled a little and tried in vain to tuck some of them behind her ear, the three little bits of metal in her left ear glinting in the fading sun light.

"Han?" I say, my throat immediately tightening and a knot in my stomach growing.

Despite my dry throat and tight chest, I try with all my might to bring up all my courage to talk to her. I mean. Come on man! Fightin' zombies is easy! Any thirteen year old with a X-box or whatever can do that! Now, confessing to the girl of your dreams!? That's terrifying.

"Yes?" She asked, her dull blue eyes locking with mine and I have to swallow the huge lump in my throat before I can open my mouth to speak again.

"You know I don't think you're a monster right?" I said.

I was trying to read her expression, but that kinda stuff just ain't my strong point. Her face went all red, and I couldn't really tell at first if it where anger or embarrassment. I didn't want to make her embarrassed but at the same time, I really didn't want to make her mad.

"I…I know." Hannah mumbled and I almost let out the breath I was holding in, because of the relief and all.

"You are…very kind to me, Ellis. I'm really happy that you are here with me." She continued and I felt a pressure well up in my chest.

The pressure built up and I didn't know what to do. Here she was in the setting sun, the orange light caressing her face and making her eyes sparkle. I jus' decided all the sudden to go ahead with no regrets and all. The pressure broke. Then I did what I had been dyin' to do since the dream where Hannah an' me were dancin' in my backyard. I placed on hand on her forearm and the other I slipped behind her neck, her soft hair tangling in my fingers before pulling her closer to me, breaking the distance between us and our lips collided just as the last bit of sun sank behind the tree lines.

What?

What is this? It seems so familiar and pleasant and since Ellis is doing this to me, I know it can't be bad. His lips are moving against mine, so I try to mimics his movements and am rewarded as his tongue slipped between my lips. My heart started racing in my chest. His tongue moved against mine causing a wonderful strange heat to grow in between my legs. I gave a gasp and a small whimper as he pulled me even closer to him, his scent surrounding me. Something was different with it, it was muskier and thicker and it made my mind fog over pleasantly. Ellis continued to push me till my back was pressed against the wall and I was pinned between him and the house. For all I cared, we could stay like this forever. His hand on my arm snuck lower till he was grasping my butt, I gasp into his mouth and he groans into mine. He squeezed before pulling away for a brief moment before squeezing my ass lightly, causing me to give out a low moan as my knees shook. He seemed to notice my problem, because the hand massaging my read slid lower to behind my thigh, before picking it up and wrapping it around his waist. I wrapped my other leg to keep my balance and found that I enjoyed it a lot more. I couldn't contain myself as I grinded my hips into his, feeling something foreign, yet strangely familiar as he rocked his hips to grind back into mine. I slide my arms around his shoulder and ran my fingers through his hair, knocking his cap to the ground.

Thing would have progressed more, or so I would have hoped, if Nick's voice hadn't sounded throughout the whole mansion, signaling us that it was time to get in the basement.

Ellis pulled away reluctantly and stared at me, his pupils dilated with something I could only describe as animalistic lust and absolute frustration. He pushed himself a little ways away from me and I untangled my legs from behind his waist. Our breaths were heavy as we looked at one another.

FUCKIN' COCK BLOCKIN' NICK! I am so pissed right now I could shit a squealin' worm or beat Nick with a baseball bat! The baseball bat idea seemed to grow in my mind as the more enjoyable experience. At the same time however, I'm walking on air because not only did Hannah not kill or reject me, she went with it! She liked it! If the wonderful pants-tightenin' sounds she was making were any indicator, then her grindin' and tongue action certainly showed it! And damn, them was some nice sounds, just as good as the Midnight Riders in their prime. Ah, who am I kiddin' I ain't never spanked one off to the Midnight Riders, but the moans and whimpers and little gasps that Han was making could keep me fappin' for days on end.

Han slid down and off my body, making the skin on my back crawl pleasantly before I bent down to retrieve my fallen cap and the two of us, and without a word, made our way down to the basement smiling in eachother's comp'ny. Part way there, I slid my hand into hers, and she gripped back, silently letting me know that she liked what had happened too.

We got into the basement and it was too dark there for any to notice our linked hands. Well, maybe Ro-girl did but if she did she didn't say anythin, which was nice. I barely believe what's happenin' right now. I really don't wanna be interrogated by the guys.

As we settled down for bed that night, I felt Han's body lay down next to mine. I couldn't help but think that maybe my dream wasn't all that unbelievable after all, that maybe one day Hannah and I can dance in my backyard to some crappy singer who's riding on her daddy's fame.

I fell 'sleep with a smile, and if a Witch tore me to pieces in my sleep, I would die a happy man.

Now, you see, this whole situation right here is all Nick's fault. If he been aiming his gun right, and not gotten sloppy then that shot wouldn't have blown propane tank. Then we wouldn't be fighting wave after wave of zombies as we waited for this 'Virgil' character to show up with his boat. Damn that Nick! Now Ellis and Hannah are fighting off all they could from the gardens. Coach manned the old emplaced .50 Caliber machine gun that we found, while Nick and I are trying to keep a path clear to the river. Before we all book it as fast as we can and pray there isn't a Smoker in the trees somewhere.

"CHARGER!" Coach cried out, warning us all as it approached quickly.

"HAN! GET OUTTA THE WAY!" Ellis shouted, but it was too late.

The Hunter was quick, but it seems this time she just wasn't quick enough. The Charger wrapped his large hand around her tiny body before slamming her into the ground over and over again. I was shooting at it the best I could, but Ellis was the one who brought it down. By recklessly forgetting about every other zombie and sending round after round into the large armed infected's skull he was able to kill it. The thing fell like a rock and Ellis was shouting Hannah's name as he tried his best to get her out of the dying-Chargers Iron grip. The boat's horn sounded and I saw Nick jump over the side onto the deck as he resumed shooting. The Charger swung his arm before he died, sending Hannah through the air to only slam into Nick's chest.

I couldn't see much after that because two things happened. The horn from Virgil's boat cut through the air, and Ellis threw a bile bomb into the middle of the horde, giving us a little time to run. All of us ran without looking back, only praying that everyone was still with the group.

I was the second one to dive onto the boat's deck, sliding a good few feet because of the blood on my shoes. Coach followed a second after me. Ellis came leaping on, attempting to land feet first, only to roll forward and slam into the railing on the other side of the boat.

As the boat pulled away from the danger, I felt the laughter bubble up in my chest and I had to let it loose. Ellis was such an animated character, always good for a laugh, even in the darkest of moments.

Christ in a hand basket that stings like a bitch! I groan in displeasure as I rub the soon-to-be lump on my forehead. Then I remembered what happened and I jumped to my feet.

"HAN! Is she alright!?" I asked everyone quickly.

"She fine overalls, the brute gave her a nice soft target for her to land on…ME." Nick Said, pointing at the unconscious Hunter lying unconscious across his middle

"Thank God she's okay." I said with relief.

"Her!? What about me!? I just got a lap-full of tossed Hunter here! Her Blood will never wash from this suit!"
