Another two months passed by, we were going out for another hunt. Luna found three wild horses and trained them so we can ride them during the hunt. I started saddling up my horse, his name was Midnight, he was a black warmblood with a star on his face.
Kaoru's horse was a chestnut thoroughbred with a white stripe on his face, his name was Copper.
"Ready to go?" Kaoru asked while mounting Copper.
"Yep." I finished tightening the girth and mounted Midnight.
Scotty walked up with his horse, she was a cream color quarter horse. "Ok let's go, we only have about an hour and a half today."
All three of us walked up the gate and I signaled the gate keeper Jeff.
Jeff looked at us and smiled. "Goin out for a hunt?"
I smiled back at him. "Yep."
Jeff opened the gate and we started walking out of Luna.
"Hey, can you guys bring me back a girlfriend?" Jeff joked.
We chuckled.
"We're hunters Jeff." I started.
"Not miracle workers." Kaoru finished.
Jeff chuckled. "Well it was worth a try."
Jeff closed the gate and the three of us nudged our horses to gallop.
"Wow you guys can horseback ride to? Is there anything you guys can't do?"
We jumped over a log.
"Well, we can't drive." I said.
"Yah, we're only fifteen." Kaoru added.
We slowed down to a canter.
"So how did you guys learn to ride? My granddad taught me."
"Well in second grade we got interested in horses." I started.
"So our mom put us in horse jumping, but we quit after two years." Kaoru finished.
"Why did you guys quit?"
"Well." I sighed. "I had a really bad fall and it hurt my back pretty bad. It took me about two months to get back into the saddle, but the main reason we left was because of our trainer. After my fall I wanted to go slow, but our trainer wanted me to be in a show. My dad told our trainer that our mom didn't want us in a horse show in a while, because of my fall. Our trainer got mad and insulted our mother, Mom got angry and after that day we never went back."
"Yah and now that we look back at it, he was teaching us how to abuse horses." Kaoru said.
"Wow." Scotty said shocked.
We cantered for another five minutes and stopped. We unmounted our horses and grabbed our weapons.
"Ok we'll split up, we'll cover more ground." I said.
Kaoru and Scotty nodded and we split up. I walked through the foliage, gripping the crossbow in my hands. Then there was a rustling of bushes, I held up my crossbow where I heard the rusting. The rusting continued and I gripped the crossbow harder. A deer came out of the bushes, I sighed in relief and looked at the buck. It was beautiful, but sadly we need it for food. I aimed my crossbow at the buck and shot it. The buck fell, I walked up to it and pulled the arrow out of its neck. I grabbed the back legs of the buck and walked back to where the horses were. Then there was a scream.
"Help!"
"Scotty?" I dropped the deer and started to run where the scream was.
While running to where Scotty was I ran into Kaoru.
"Hikaru? Did you hear that scream to?"
"Yah, where's Scotty?"
Scotty screamed again and Kaoru and I ran to where Scotty was. When we got there we saw Scotty up in a tree surrounded by walkers. Kaoru and I started shooting at the walkers.
"Don't save me! Save the family in the shed"
I looked at Kaoru. "You help Scotty, I'll help the family."
Kaoru nodded and went to help Scotty. I ran over to the shed, walkers were banging on the door. I shot the walkers in front of the shed. I tried to open the door, but it was locked. I kicked the open and looked for the family.
"Daddy stop, you're hurting mommy."
That was a little girl. I went to the back of the shed and saw a person sitting down, but his back was facing me. A little girl was up on the hay loft.
"Hey little girl, are you ok?" I asked.
The little girl looked at me and nodded. "Yah, but I don't know about mommy and daddy."
I looked at the man. "Hello sir, are you ok?"
The man turned to me, but instead of seeing a live man, I saw a walker with blood and human intestines in his mouth.
"Oh my god, her dad is eating her mom." I raised my crossbow at the walker. The walker stood up and started walking towards me.
The little girl looked down at her mom, her eyes widened in fear. "Daddy what did you do to mommy?"
I tried to shoot the walker, but my crossbow got stuck. "Crap."
"Daddy?"
Then the hay loft the little girl was on broke. She fell down onto the ground. She started to cry. The walker stopped and looked towards the little girl, then he turned around and started walking towards her.
I started to panic and tried to fix my crossbow. "No, no come here, don't go over there!"
The walker kept walking towards her. The girl kept crying. I finally fixed my crossbow and shot the walker in the head right before he reached the little girl. I quickly ran up and got my arrow out of the walker and stabbed the mom in the head so she wouldn't come back and ran to the little girl and took the wood off her.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
The little girl looked up at me, I was shocked at her appearance. She had reddish brown hair, and my hazel eyes. She also looked a bit like Haruhi from the pictures I saw when she was little.
She started crying harder and she hugged me. "Daddy, help me." She said into my chest.
I hugged her back. "What's your name?"
She looked up at me. "Brooke." She sniffed.
"Ok, Brooke, let's get out of here ok. I know you're sad about your mom and dad, but let's live as long as we can, ok."
"Will you be my new daddy please?" She hiccupped.
I looked down at her in shock, I didn't know what to say. I do still want kids, but when I'm older. I looked into her sad eyes, they were stabbing my heart.
I sighed and smiled. "Sure, I'll be your new dad."
She smiled and I picked her up.
"Yay, Daddy, daddy, daddy."
"Shh, we don't want to attract more walkers." I put my free hands up to my lips.
She copied me. "Shh."
"Oh my gosh you're so cute." I snuggled her.
"Daddy shh, we can't be loud remember."
I chuckled. "Yah, right, quiet." I winked at her.
She smiled and hugged me.
I grabbed my crossbow and walked to Scotty and Kaoru. Kaoru got Scotty out of the tree.
"Hey guys, we got a new member." I said.
Kaoru and Scotty looked over at us.
Kaoru walked over to Brooke. "Hi I'm Kaoru, what's your name?"
"Brooke." Then she looked at me. "Daddy, why does he look like you?"
There was a moment of silence.
"Daddy?!" Kaoru and Scotty screamed.
"Shh." She put her finger to her lips. "We can't attract the monsters."
"Hikaru?"
"Yes Kaoru?"
"You've been gone for ten minutes, how do you have a kid. If I paid any attention in Bio that day, it takes a lot longer than ten minutes."
"Ok one, ew, and two when I went into the shed I had to um, exterminate the dad and mom. She asked me if I wanted to be her new dad, so I said yes cause she's so cute."
Kaoru sighed. "Well Brooke I guess you can call me Uncle Kaoru then, or Uncle Kao. Also your dad and I are twins, that's why we look alike."
"And you can call me Scotty."
"Ok we better get going, I got a deer where the horses are, so at least we got one source of food."
We walked back to the horse and mounted our horses. I helped Brooke on Midnight before I got on, then we started our way back to Luna.
