Who Am I?

Chapter Two: Curiosity killed the Cat

Hunter woke up… he blinked his eyes until his surroundings became clear. He was under a fruit stand… Oh yeah… Where was Smoker? He sat up and looked around. Was he getting food? Hunter stood up to get a better look. SNAP! He perked his ears up to a small stick snapping behind him. He looked at his own foot to see that he was the one who snapped it. He mumbled and hazily walked out to the dirt road.

"Smoooookkeeeerrrrr-" he moaned, "Get your butt out here- I'm too sleepy to find you."

…He heard no answer. He shouldn't have expected different though. Smoker was always running off.

He sighed and went to curl up under the fruit stand again. It was early… Smoker wouldn't get into too much trouble. Hunter yawned and snuggled up against a post under the fruit sign.

~Meanwhile~

CRASH!

"Oops." Smoker had accidentally knocked over some more of the shards of shattered glass that were left in the window pane. He went in anyway and ignored the shattered pieces. He had forgotten to put away the photos- so he placed the two pictures under a loose floor board and swept some dust with his hand onto the board.

"There- perfectly hidden." he murmured. With that he climbed back up onto the window sill and crawled out onto a pile of rubble.

"Hope Hunter isn't awake yet-" he mumbled striding over across the littered road filled with potholes. He climbed up another pile of rubble and lifted himself onto the roof of a building. He took a couple steps to the left before jumping into a hole in the roof. He looked at the remains of what once was a grocery store. The feeling that he recognized this place was always strong here. Here and at the faded blue house. He ignored it as usual and grabbed two random cans on the ground. Hunter and Smoker figured out weeks ago that these colorful cans contained food. It was much easier then waiting for survivors.

He used a counter top to heave himself back onto the roof. The morning light hit him a bit hard as compared to the darkness of the former grocery store. He ignored that too and stumbled off to the abandoned fruit stand.

When he arrived he saw that Hunter was still sleeping. So Smoker threw a can at him.

"HEY!" cried Hunter getting up and rubbing his head. He stared at the object that hit him.

"Oh! Food!" he pried open the can with his short claws and began chugging it.

He looked back up at Smoker with a mouth full of food and smiled.

"Hey- where were you this morning?" asked Hunter with his mouth full so much he was spitting chunks of whatever he was eating.

Smoker hesitated, " … Getting food. Duh."

He coughed to finish his statement.

Hunter didn't question it… so he went back to scarfing down his breakfast.

"Hey… wanna try to kill each other later?" asked Hunter swallowing.

"No! What kind of question is that?" responded Smoker.

Hunter shrugged. "Ah-dunnoh."

The two finished their meal and stood up. Hunter stretched out a bit. "Well… I wanna go check out this street." he announced. Smoker didn't reply … instead he walked off.

"…I'm taking that as a 'Go Ahead!'" said Hunter.

The two investigated their surroundings a bit. Hunter strode little off to what used to be a sidewalk. And Smoker strolled into what was half an alley way. He stared at the graffiti in the corner that was now faded and old.

LEAVE ZOMBIES is what it read.

Smoker scowled. He looked down and saw a cinder block. So he picked it up and threw it as hard as he could at the word 'ZOMBIES'. That word bothered him. It meant hideous un dead beasts. Smoker refused to believe that he'd become one too. He refused to believe that he was now a shade of green, that his flesh blistered on him, and all the other hideous things that go along with the word "ZOMBIE". He refused to believe he was one of them. And in reality- he wasn't. They weren't zombies. They were infected. He picked up some rocks and threw them at the accursed word. Neither he nor Hunter could stand that word. He continued throwing rocks until he ran out. He sighed… he was about to return to Hunter when
