The Long Walk
Tai had been walking for days; he was constantly looking back, he could feel someone following him, but there was no one behind him when he looked. After two days of walking through luscious grasslands, he stumbled into an expansive dessert that went on for as far as the eye can see. He wasn't sure whether he should turn around, or keep going. He knew that he didn't want to go back; He knew that whatever was left of his pride would be able to function without him. In the few days he had spent without Nanati, he realized exactly how much he needed her. He desperately needed to know what happened to her; but he couldn't bring himself to face that she might be dead, so he convinced himself that she was still alive somewhere. He just hoped that wherever she was that she would be happy. However, he never wanted to go back to where he had lived. He didn't want to see the gruesome tangled bodies of his family. He was tired of dealing with death; it had taken everyone he'd loved first his mother, and now his pride.
Nanati was further east then Tai was and a few miles behind, but she could still feel his presence somehow. Even though she thought he was dead, she couldn't bring herself to believe this completely, she just couldn't bring herself to fully believe that Tai was dead. She knew Tai better then he knew himself, it was almost like they had a mental link, they could always predict what the other was doing, and they finished each other's sentences all the time. She knew that if he wasn't alive, that her world was over. All she had was him, and that was all she ever wanted.
Sorry that it took me so long to do this chapter, I've been putting it off because I've had writer's block. I'll eventually have more characters… I never realized how much work is put into writing a fan fic. Well, thanks for reading my crappy attempt at a fanfic..
