I don't own left 4 dead~
The walk to the park was silent, the normal infected moved out of the way of the two hunters totally ignoring me. At first I was worried about going into the crowd of zombie but Victoria reassured me that the presence of two Hunters overpowered the human ''smell''. She said it was like some animal dominance thing, the zombies were too scared to attack anything close to the Hunters. We came across the special infected, which surprised me since they acted more scared of me than I thought they would, I thought they would at least try to attack but they didn't. A Witch was sitting by a fire hydrant that was leaking water, she saw me and cried harder, her wails bounced off the walls making me feel sorry for the girl. We turned left onto a street that looked like Hell was breaking the earths crust. The road split into two leaving a cavern so deep that you couldn't see the bottom, Victoria jumped over with ease but there was no way I alone would be not able to make that jump. I watched in surprise as a Spitter and Charger climbed up the building, they had terrible trouble climbing but they made it to the roof too which they jumped to the next and climbed down successfully making it across the cavern. Feeling a tug on my pants I looked down to see Nathan motioning for me to jumped on his back, at first was I hesitant because of what I saw earlier but hearing Victoria yelling at me to hurry up I reluctantly got on, and away we jumped.
Jumping was fun, it's weird to say, but jumping the way these Hunter's do I got the feeling that I was free from responsibility, from danger, from life. I don't know what came over me but if Hunter's felt this free every time they jumped...heck I wouldn't mind being a Hunter myself. I let out a soft sigh as we were descending down to the other side of the cavern, it was much to my disappointment that the "free" feeling ended so fast. After landing I fixed my shirt, re-positioned my gun and started to walking again behind Victoria.
"How much further is the park?" I asked, truth be told, I thought I knew where we were but it seems like the bombing of the city made my internal map all screwy. Without looking back Victoria answered, "Not much, it's actually just right around this corner." I nodded my head, seeing that I had a few minuets to spare I gave a good artistic look at my surroundings. The sky can put any painter to shame really, I mean it looked breathtaking with the grey clouds, the dark smoke from the fires, the glow of said fires in the distance making it look like the world is alive. The sun tried to make its way out and away from the darkness of the grey in the sky, yet this darkness that engulfed the world did not stop the way the heat made me sweat.
As we turned the corner I saw they city's park right across the street, the gated entrance has crumbled leaving no room for passage. The wall that was eight feet high was surprisingly still standing making it harder to gain entrance. Once we were in front of the destroyed gate, I looked to Victoria who just crouched...sat...whatever you call a hunter sitting. Nathan crawled over to her and sat down to her right, my eye twitched. "Are we really just gonna to sit here?" I put my unoccupied hand on my hip whiling glaring at the two.
Victoria looked up at me, from what I can tell she looked bored, "Yup." was all she said before looking back ahead of her. My mouth flew open, does she really think the best idea is waiting?! Z is looking for us as we speak and her best plan is to WAIT?! I looked to Nathan for some support but he had his head turned away completely ignoring me. Feeling anger building up I clenched my jaw, "So what's the purpose of sitting here to await our doom,cause if you don't remember, ah,we have a army looking for us!" Victoria scratched her cheek smiling cheeky up at me. "Cause my eyes hurt." I was going to a comment that she in fact DIDN'T have eyes when I saw Nathan quickly grab her right arm and shoved hard on it into her body making a pop noise. Victoria jumped before sighing and growled over to him. I completely didn't notice that she had a dislocated shoulder, the method to put it back was sloppy but I should have at least noticed it. Groaning out loud I plopped down setting my gun to my right.
"So what are we really waiting for." I glanced at her.
"Ash and Daniel."
I blinked, again I completely forgot about the Witch and Smoker. When the tank showed up they just vanished, I thought that they fled but apparently not. Slightly squinting I studied the two beside me, I gave them less credit then I should have. They were smart and cunning, they would have had of planned for the other twos escape without anyone of us knowing, or they knew all this would happen and they just planned a head. Yet, even if they did plan a head no one was expecting a tank to show up,so does this mean that this is their backup plan? Even if it is there backup plan it's well thought out if you think about it, this isn't a simple group meet up, no, if it was that simple then they would have been here waiting right when they got separated. If the other two did flee...no they wouldn't just flee from what I remember Daniel is Nathan's best friend and best friends don't leave each other behind, I mean just look at Victoria and David. If it isn't the other two then this is really part of their original plan- but when did they make this plan?
"Here they come." Looking up from my thoughts I looked to where Victoria was looking, which happened to be to my right, coming from around the corner was the two I was just thinking about. Standing up to greet the new arrivals I observed their appearance seeing if it would give me any clue as to what they were doing. The smokers dark hair was a mess, he was caked in dried blood and dirt, his dark green jacket he wore was on the Witch. Speaking of the Witch, Ashley I mean, she was beat up pretty bad. Cuts and bullet wounds where found on her stomach and arms, stomach being where the bullets took place while the arms where mostly cuts. Her hair was clumped together by dried mud; it fell in her face like a curtain showing only her left eyes which glowed a sickly yellow. The jacket that she wore was too big for her five foot frame and his six foot height, the jacket went to her knees, it was cute really. This just made me wonder how tall is the twin Hunters; and before I could stop myself I turned to them and asked, "How tall are you two anyway?"
Silence overcame everyone as they looked at me strange, like me being the only human right now with them is completely normal. A blush made it's way to my face and I cleared my throat and avoided eye contact with everyone to fill the silence with some noise. Daniel laughed out loud slapping his knee commenting how that was completely random. His laughing didn't help my blush in the least making it become more noticeable as it is. Ashley elbowed Daniel but the smile she wore never left her face, Nathan and Victoria on the other hand just kept staring at me.
"Well, I'm 5'2 sadly...forever a short person." Victoria said standing up like a human showing her true height her head coming up to me nose. "Speaking of height I never actually never saw your full height Nathan." Victoria said looking down at said Hunter. He growled earning him a frown from Victoria. "Don't tell me, show me asshole!" Victoria raised her voice balling up her fist, she was most likely still flustered or something from earlier. Nathan sighed before standing up, at first when he tried to get up his legs wobbled, he paused then stood up straight towering over Victoria and I. Daniel stood by him to compare height, Nathan was a inch or two shorter than Daniel making Nathan's height roughly around five eight or five nine.
"You sure are tall..." I commented suddenly feeling short. Daniel growled something to Nathan making him and everyone else besides Nathan laugh, he just frowned and punched Daniel in the arm making him laugh harder. I watched as Victoria stomped over Nathan crossed her arms looking up at him. He stared down at her before cracking a smile growling something, Victoria started to yelling things in growls and hisses before punching him in the gut Daniel actually had to get between the two as Ashley calmed her down. Feeling slightly left out I turned my attention to down the street when I see my team.
Excitement coursed though my veins as I saw everyone come into view. "They're back!" I exclaimed, everyone turned back to watch as the crew came into view, Nathan and Victoria back to their original standing position. I took notice as they made their way towards us Marcelo was carrying...oh God he was carrying Saya! Why would David decide to bring a dead person along?! Blood drained from my face, I can't possibly apologize to David when they brought the body of Saya, that's a complete slap to the face?!
I snapped out of the phase when I head the two Hunter's give a deep, low rumble of a growl. I was actually a little freaked out to be near them that I stepped a few steps to the side.
The reunion wasn't what I thought it would be, I would think we say things like "I missed you" or even a "Hey" would be nice but no, they just came up with grim faces...will everyone besides Jake he just gave me the "look". The "look" is the single where we need to have a private conference and exchange knowledge to one another, he usually gives it to us when he believes the trust in the group is being questioned or that he doesn't trust the people around him. I slightly nodded my head in understanding. Marcelo looked like he wanted to throw up while Tyler tried to comfort him. David had Tiff in a death grip on her arm, her face looked pissed while David looked just plain murderous.
"What the FUCK is SHE doing here?!" Yelled Victoria getting into an attack position Nathan following suit, their shoulders brushed together.
"Because fuck you!" Tiff screamed
"I wasn't fucking asking you cock face!"
"Maybe it's because I'm more useful than you, you dead flesh!"
"ENOUGH!" David yelled with such intensity that it caused everyone but Jake and Daniel to flinch.
"Best friend! If you haven't noticed but she's trying to kill me-"
"If YOU haven't noticed but YOU'RE already DEAD! Now where is the fucking hideout?!" David lashed out. Victoria's mouth opened little before turning into a frown that looked like she was going to cry.
"T-this w-way." Everyone turned to Ashley not even surprised anymore, nodded and followed. We all followed towards a manhole I looked back to see Nathan and Victoria staying behind, my eyes widen when I saw on her back clenching her teeth and grabbing her head. Nathan was on all fours at once, examined her then proceeded to throw her on his back and jump away. I was going to tell the team but David yelled harshly for me to hurry up.
DAMNNNNNN David harsh much?
