Chapter 3: A new companion

He fully didn't expect her to understand him, but didn't care as he heard the charger check the rooms. He signaled the witch to follow him, and slowly and silently they went behind some boxes and bags. The space was small so he signaled her to sit on him, causing them both to blush, but she complied anyway.

Huh, a witch that could understand people? Must be 'cause she recently turned…

As he heard the door break, he held onto her tightly and lifted his finger up to her lips, telling her to keep silent…

Witch(?)'s POV

She didn't know why she followed him, or why she had sat with him as the charger entered the room. All she knew was that she atleast had company. As she felt him tighten his grip on her waist, she felt one of his hands rise up and shush her. She got the message loud and clear.

The charger, which seemed to be roaming around for food, looked into the room and had been looking through boxes. After a while, it exited the room, and the survivor relaxed his grip on her.

"Well, we survived…now can you please get off me?" The young survivor asked kindly. The tone felt odd to her. Gave a feeling of warmth for her. She obliged and moved off of him.

Ben's POV

The young man got up as soon as she was out of the way. Looking at her, he realized she wasn't like the rest. However he needed to keep his guard up. He looked at her and sized her up. He had been a 5"10, while she however was taller then him. About 6 feet in height. Maybe about only a few inches shorter then a smoker.

"W-well…"

She looked back at him. Sometimes getting a witches attention was bad, but she didn't seem as sad or enraged as a normal witch.

"I m-must be going…" he said nervously. She suddenly whipped around and stared at him

"Do you need anything?"

She shook her head, and as he turned to the door, he could've sworn she smiled as I turned around. What's up with her?! He thought as he headed to the door way. As he exited and looked into the hall, he heard the witch's shuffling footsteps. Seeing the infected were either dead or unable to get to him due to the charger's rampage. Most doors had rubble or dead bodies in them. Surprisingly the food(or atleast most of the candy, fruits, vegetables and artificial food in this part of the mansion, which were in bags, was surprisingly untouched other then some blood and damage. Most of the meat was raided or destroyed. Though he didn't notice before, he saw that one of the rooms was caved in and lead to the main floor.

"Huh, didn't notice that…"

He looked at the size of the room. Big enough for several tanks. He turned back to his companion. She seemed unfamiliar with this place, so she stayed back in the doorway. Just looking at her made him feel…odd. He felt his libido rise and wanted to touch her nice…

NO! Stop thinking that! She's a zombie, you couldn't possibly love her!

Witch's(?) POV

As he looked at her oddly, she took notice, and he turned his gaze from her. She looked at him as he started looking into the room that was caved in. Slowly she shuffled out of her room and, while he was searching through the room, placed a hand upon his back, startling him.

"AAIIIEEE!"

He soon fell back onto his ass, rubbing it. She couldn't help but giggle as he looked at her angrily

"Hey! What'd you do that for?!" He quietly hissed at her. He then took a moment to think before looking back at her

"Look, just…don't startle me like that! We might attract other infected!"

She looked at him dead-panned as he got up. He checked his bag before going up, the witch following him. He looked back at her with a questioning look

"Are…Are you following me?"

She quietly nodded. In meeting this survivor, she found something: Kindness. He was much more then the average survivor…

Snapping from her thoughts, she looked at him expectedly before he sighed in defeat

"Fine…you can come with me. But only until I find a human settlement…" He said as he turned back to getting up. She quickly remembered something and grasped his arm, tugging it and pointing back at the room

"Huh?"

He looked at her and where she was pointing

"You…want to go back?"

She shook her head

"Then … You want sugar?"

She nodded enthusiastically at him. He considered what she wanted until he nodded.

"Alright, I'll get you some sugar.."

Ben's POV

Obliging to my new companion's request, he went down and back into the hall. He knew he'd need to stock up on food and supplies before going off on another journey…

And That is it for this chapter! Next chapter I'm thinking of going with a future enemy/rival to Ben…or just going with Ben and the witch, whom I shall reveal her backstory and name…
