Chapter 3: Meeting Face to Face

Hannah woke up still feeling sore after yesterday's events; however, she still got up and carried on with today like it was any other. She grabbed a bite to eat, checked her ankle, and put on her boots before grabbing two pistols and putting them in their holsters on her sides. She wasn't going to do much, just check how things were in other parts of the small town and mosey on her way. Walking towards the door, Hannah slowly opened it and peeked around for any signs of the infected before pushing the door open completely.

Hunter's P.O.V

I heard the door open and jumped straight up, I had fallen asleep to gain some rest and now I wake to hear the female on the move. Where is she going? Better not be far, she's too hurt to go long distances. I slowly crawl to the edge of the roof and observed her as she limped out of the safe house.

'That fall must have really hurt her.' I thought as I studied her movements and expressions.

She sighed as she went along her way, checking the streets and alleys of the town. I can tell nothing much goes on around here, sure we have infected all over the place but they're small numbers of them. You could go through this town all by yourself or as a group and if you move silently, get out of this place without so much as a scratch. Still, things happen unexpectedly. Just like this.

Hannah's P.O.V

I sighed once more, being alone has made me…I don't know…I just know that I'm not the same girl that I use to be before I had to go my own way. Things really did take a turn for the worst since the outbreak, I don't know if I'm the only survivor out there but if there are others…wait, what was that?

I could hear the sound of…purring? Slowly, I turned around to see a hunter right there crouched in front of me a few yards away. He didn't look like other Hunters but a Hunter is still a Hunter. I could see that his skin was pale like mine while covered in scratches, bruises, blood, and light bite marks. He wore a navy blue hoodie, as usual, the hoodie was over his eyes, both sleeves were tore from the shoulder to the elbows, and duct tape was wrapped around the wrists as usual too. Also, he wore a pair of black sweatpants with duct tape wrapped around above his knees and above his ankles.

I quickly grabbed my pistols and aimed them at him. "Take one more step and you're toast."

He stopped instantly, confusing me…did he just understand me and even more…obeyed me? I titled my head to the side and he did the same, I titled my head to the other side and he still copied my movement. I eyed his sharp claws and talons; they were pure black…ready to slice into me any minute. He seemed to notice took a few steps back before sitting down on the ground and placing his arms on his knees…like he was waiting for something, but what? I slowly and hesitantly lowered my guns and eyed him suspiciously.

"Can you understand me?" I asked him.

He gave a light nod and nothing more…man this was just getting weirder and weirder by the minute. What am I doing? This is Hunter for crying out loud! I'm supposed to be shooting the hell out him and here I am asking his questions like he was…human. I must have been so deep in thought that I didn't notice that the Hunter was slowly approaching me.

I quickly lifted my guns back up at him. "Hey, I said don't take another fucking step!"

Hunter's P.O.V

She lifted her guns at me again while shouting; I just stared at her, not moving until she had calm down again. Once she took a few steps back, she lowered her guns and eyed me as I looked right back at her. She sure was different from other survivors, something that made…attracted to her? Is that the right word? Well it sounded like it and I was sure so I just continued to stare at her while she stared back.

"Well, aren't you going to kill me?" She asked.

I shook my head no at her and gave a light smile, my pointed teeth showing. She did nothing but something flickered in her eyes but it was quickly gone as she snorted at something. I watched as she slowly move to head back towards the safe house, however, I had other plans. I playfully pounced on her before she had the chance to pull the trigger at me and we tumbled on the ground. She struggled but failed, I lowered my head and she closed her eyes tightly, expecting the terrible pain from my claws.

Author's P.O.V

Hannah could smell the horrible scent of rotting meat and dry plus fresh blood as she was pinned to the ground gently but firmly by the Hunter. The Hunter lowered its head and Hannah just closed her eyes, knowing this was the end. However, her eyes snapped open when the Hunter rubbed its nose along hers and began purring to her. She stared up shockingly at the Hunter, but her eyes got locked with his. Unlike the other Hunters, his eyes were an emerald green and she could see that he had blood red hair to go with them.

Despite being pinned down by a Hunter, Hannah felt like she was just staring up at a regular human being. He slowly let go of her hands and Hannah didn't make a move to push him off as he gently used one of his clawed hands to caress her cheek. Hannah shuddered lightly from the touch; it felt cold yet warm at the same time…how was that possible? She eyed his claws as he moved her hair behind her ear and as he stared into her eyes. He carefully measured how much weight he was putting on her to make sure he wasn't making her uncomfortable before purring in her ear like some humanoid infected cat.

Hannah stuttered slightly. "Can you…get off of me…please?"

The Hunter slowly removed himself from his position on top of her as she sat up and leaned against the concrete railing to the mall's roof. However, just as she closed her eyes to calm her beating heart, a weight was set lightly on her shoulder. Her eyes snapped open and she saw the Hunter laying his head down on her shoulder while he cuddled up against her side. He seemed like a child seeking comfort from his or hers toy or mother.

Hannah's P.O.V

I looked down at the Hunter as he pressed himself closer to me. I sighed; there was no way I could get him away from me. If I tried to get away it would probably upset him and he would probably just kill me then. Eyeing the safe house, I sent a small pray for a miracle of something to happen so I could live another day.

Hunter's P.O.V

I could sense her discomfort and purred to her lightly as I snuggled up against her. It felt…nice to have her so close. I've never felt this way before with anyone and I quite like it. She eyed the safe house and I could tell she wanted to get away but I meant her no harm. There has to be a way that I can show her that I mean her no harm, but how?

I sat up, startling her as she watched me sat a few inches away from her. I slowly pointed at myself to get her to know what I was trying to say.

"You?" She looked at me questionably.

I nodded before shaking my head no to gesture the next word.

She guessed. "No?" I shook my head more rapidly at that answer. "Won't?"

I nodded and gave a small smile before making my clawed hand into a fist before pointing towards her.

"You won't hurt me?" She gave me a confused look, but I gave her a nod of approval. "What makes you say I can trust you?" I pointed at her gun before making a gun with my hand and pointed at my head. "So if you betray me…or something like that…I get to kill you?"

I nodded to her question which made her giggle at little, I smiled…we were finally getting somewhere.

"Well, can you start by letting me go back inside, it's getting late out." She asked me and pointed at the setting sun.

I nodded and backed up a little as she stood up and made her way towards the safe house, I followed her and surprisingly…she let me come in. I looked around the safe house and noticed it was roomy for just one person…well; two since I'm like a part of her 'group'. I watched as she took a small book and a pencil before sitting on the bed to write something down.

Hannah's P.O.V

Day 8,

Okay, I'm going to make this short and simple and hopefully sound as calm as possible. I have a Hunter in the safe house with me. It was weird at first, I thought he was going to kill me but he didn't, which is unusual for a Hunter since they're mostly killers. I just can't believe this is happening, I going to go insane if anything else like this happens.

Mom, Dad, I might be seeing you in a few hours, who knows? I just know…one wrong move and I'm history. I'm lucky enough to live another night, but how long will that stay the same till this Hunter decides to slice me into itsy bitsy pieces? God, I just hope he doesn't want to…rape me like some pervert. God please be with me tonight.

I set my Survival Journal down and look at the Hunter, who's watching me. Taking off my boots, I check my ankle before turning to him.

"I'm going to be now…so you can…I don't know…sleep on the floor or something." I said to him and he didn't mind that as I turned to face the wall.

He seemed to find the lantern that lit up the room and turned it off which made sleep come faster to me. However, as I was on the edge of darkness, I felt the bed shift as weight was pressed onto it.

Alright, you guys just send in those reviews that would be great and I'll start working on getting more chapters posted.
