Hunter-seme

nick-seme

ellis-uke

The next morning ellis was completely ignoring nick. He was heart broken that nick could and would even say that but with the little comment the morning before he wasn't as surprised as if nick never said he wasn't wanted. Rochelle tried to talk to the young man but it didn't work out so well he just glared at her. She just gave coach a worried look and he sighed. That day as they set out for the next safe house, they kept hearing rustling from the trees and bushes. Ellis, being pissed off at nick, never noticed.

The thing is that none of them noticed that it was the hunter from the night before. They would occasionally hear a grunt or thud from ahead and thought it was ellis stumbling, which he was because the smoker had sprained his ankle, but it wasn't. It was the hunter hitting his head, arms, and legs in the trees and bushes, and occasionally falling out of a tree. The hunter was infatuated with the young mechanic. If any infected got in hearing distance of the hunter he sent them a warning to stay away in a frequency that only other infected could hear, and they went away.

About the time noon hit, ellis was mad no more. He started to even sing, despite the worried looks of the others, questioning the well being of their team mate singing while walking through a swamp. The oddest part is he wasn't singing sad or depressing songs, he was singing happy, well happy for a cowboy, country songs. He was singing some song saying banjo a lot so they assumed that was the name of it. They asked him and they where right, it was called banjo by Rascal Flatts. Then they heard a special infected. Ellis stopped singing. After they spotted it and killed it. Before yet again it aimed for ellis. Then after they made sure they smoker was dead they started to walk again. After a few minutes ellis started singing again, so naturally nick just sighed and rolled his eyes, but this time he shocked everyone. He started singing sad songs, the first one was martin by Zac Brown Band. This made rochelle worry even more. As he sang more and more of that song coach and rochelle knew he was speaking metaphorically but nick just thought it was another keith thing as the kid always talked about him and ordered ellis to stop.

When that happened ellis turned around and looked at nick. They all were expecting for him to send nick flying again as the they all saw the anger once more in the eyes of the mechanic, but he just started to sing even louder.

As ellis sang on the songs got sadder and more depressing . He sang Colder Weather, Cry Little Sister, The War Was In Color, and songs like that. But when ellis started singing The War Was In Color, the hunter that had been following them all along jump in front of them. They all stood there ready to shot if it even gave a single hint of attacking. It didn't. The hunter just stood there on all fours staring at ellis. Ellis just continued to sing that song and the hunter tilted his head in amazment that the human wasn't afraid or at least wasn't showing it.

Ellis quite singing and the hunter growled in protest. "Ellis, sweetie, I think you should sing some more." Nick was about to protest but at that comment the hunter stopped growling and tilted its head at rochelle and then looked back at ellis. He was about to start singing again but the hunter grunted and walked off. For a minute they just stood there in total confusion. Then they decided to rest for the night at a abandon house free of zombies.

That night they just sat there eating what food they had. It was coach who had the first watch then it was rochelle, who before changing posts they talked for a few minutes about the day before, then nick woke up to change the bandage for his wound and joined in. All of them were oblivious to ellis getting up and walking outside, until he slammed the door. They all stood in shock at what the boy just did. "Did he just leave the safe house?" was the only thing he heard form rochelle as he walked away.
