Chapter 8: Feelings

Hannah drove the motorcycle down the back road, leading the others towards the secret underground bunker. It was near sundown and they would have to pull over eventually to set up camp. Luckily, they were nowhere near any infected areas roaming with the infected. The only one was Aaron. Pulling over to stop at a cabin, Hannah stopped the motorcycle and took off her helmet.

"This is as far as we're going tonight." She explained as she turned to Nick, who was still driving the Hummer H1.

Nick nodded. "Alright, let's unpack and get dinner started."

{Hannah, I'm going for a stroll, is that alright?} Aaron hopped out of the car and turned to Hannah.

Hannah nodded. {Yeah, but be back before people start to get worried and go out to find you and see you devouring an infected corpse.}

{Don't worry. My senses will pick you guys up before you see anything.} He responded.

Hannah smirked. {Then how will you explain the scent of decay and the blood stains?}

{I'll be back, I promise.} Aaron then left.

Zoey and Rochelle stopped Hannah as she turned around. "Hey, what's going on between you and him?" Zoey asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Hannah gave them a confused look.

Rochelle smirked. "Oh come on, you and Aaron."

"Oh…wait, what? No, no, there's nothing going on between us." Hannah answered.

Zoey giggled. "It's totally obvious two like each other, but don't worry, we'll keep it between us girls." She gave wink her way before leaving Rochelle.

'There's nothing going on between me and Aaron, yet…my emotions tell me a different thing.' Hannah thought as she helped unpack so things into the cabin.

Aaron's P.O.V

I sighed as I kicked a rock that lay in my pathway before sitting down on a larger rock in front of a stream. My emotions were all over the place, mostly because of Hannah. That girl can spike these emotions in me that nobody else could. Like when she risked her life to save everyone else's, I was so worried about her. Or that time when I held her, it felt like nobody else was around; it was just me and her in our own world.

However, when she kissed me back with the incident with the Tank, my heart just…burst with a feeling I never felt before for anyone. I can now easily smell her scent, see her eyes; feel her hair like her image was imprinted into my brain. There was no way I could get her out of my head no matter how hard I tried. Come to think of it, I don't want to forget her or anything of the sort. She means everything to me; I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to her.

Putting my head in my clawed hands, I muttered. "I love her."

Hannah's P.O.V

Everyone had eaten dinner and was now lazily lying around the place to sleep. However, I noticed that Aaron wasn't back yet. Knowing he could be getting himself into trouble, I stood up and snuck quietly out of the house. However, my heart started to beat at a rapid pace as if telling me something. I shook my head, I needed to clear my thoughts and a walk might do me good.

Continuing on my way, I wasn't aware that tonight's actions were gonna lead me into a situation I would never be able to pull myself away from.

Author's P.O.V

Hannah slowly walked on the trail that Aaron had taken towards the small stream. When she found the stream, she also found Aaron siting on a rock. He looked like he was deep in thought and it was sort of troubling him. Walking over to him, Hannah placed a hand on his shoulder. Startled, Aaron stood up quickly and growled at her, but stopped and let out a whimper once he noticed it was just Hannah.

"It is okay, Aaron." Hannah whispered.

Aaron crouched down and looked up at her. {Sorry, I guess my thoughts were getting the best of me.}

"Don't worry, sometimes it happens to me." She let out a small smile and sat down while leaning against the rock he just sat on a few moments ago.

Aaron crawled over to her and leaned against her bent legs. {I miss this, just you and me.}

"Aww, I do too, Aaron." She played with a strand of his hair, use to the fact he always liked to be close to her and sometimes held. "Just us and no one else."

Aaron purred happily before moving closer to her and laid his head on her shoulder. {I'm glad you're here right now.} He started to nibble on her hair.

"So am I." Hannah whispered as she wrapped her arms around him. Her heart started to beat faster in joy, but she ignored it and held Aaron closer. 'I guess I can say I…love him.'

Aaron felt her arms wrap around him and leaned into her embrace, maybe…just maybe. {Hannah, I need to tell you something.}

"Okay, shoot." She leaned her head against his and closed her eyes.

Aaron sighed, it's now or never. {I feel this feeling down in my heart, and it grows when I'm near you.} He backed up a bit so he could look up at her face before placing his clawed hand on her cheek. {Never have I felt this for anyone, but since I do, I think I don't want to feel it for anyone besides you. Hannah…I love you.}

"What?" Hannah's eyes were wide with surprise, but they softened.

Aaron repeated. {I love you, no one else just you and always you.}

Hannah smiled at him and hugged him tightly. "I've wanted to tell you the same thing. I love you as well."

{Really? I though you wouldn't like me the same way since you know…I'm infected.} Aaron replied but wrapped his arms around her to return her embrace.

Hanna shook her head. "You're fine just the way you are. No one can replace you." Hannah felt her heart swell with joy, this was what she was missing, love. And Aaron was happy to give her it, with her returning it as well.

{And no one will be able to replace you, Hannah.} Aaron stroked her back. {Hannah…my Hannah, I love you so much, there's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you.}

Hannah giggled. "Okay, slow it down right there. We still have the others to worry about, they can't know about this and most importantly, they can't know about you."

{Right…I forgot.} Aaron whispered sadly.

Hannah backed up and looked at him in the eye. "But don't worry, you're still my Hunter and I'll always love you."

Aaron looked at her, the moon was full and it the light it possessed shined down on her. Making her look absolutely beautiful, before he even knew it, he was leaning forward while his eyes softly shut. Hannah knew what he wanted and found herself giving in. She leaned forward as well and her eyes shut. Before they both knew it, their lips were upon each other's in a passionate and gentle kiss.

Both of their hearts fluttered in completely happiness as they felt as if they had become one. This what the world needed if it ever wanted to return to the world it was before.
