With a gentle gasp and a jerk of the body, Tyler awoke. Tyler opened his eyes to the sight of the huntress near the wall. She had her back to him, But then he started to notice something a bit more...Important. Her hood was down and he could see her hair flowing down. But also, He could see her bare shoulders and heard her fidgeting with something.
Just by sitting up a little, It made the huntress turn her head quickly and gave a gentle growl. She looked at him confused and fully turned her body. "Really...Again?" Tyler said aloud as he noticed her hair was caught in the zipper again. After mere seconds tyler got her hair out and zipped up her sweater.
Tyler quickly stood and looked at his watch. "9:00AM" The watch read and tyler gave a giant sigh of relief. "Finally..." He said as he enjoyed the effects of resting well.
Tyler grabbed the huntress by the hand and brought her up, Pulling her hood on for her. "Now. I'm not sure if you understand me. But I cannot stay here. I have to keep moving and moving since i need somewhere safer to live. Okay?" This just made the hunter stare at him then nod slowly. "Are...You going to be following?" He asked as he felt a bit ridiculous. This made her instantly nod, Which also made tyler wonder if she actually did fully understand him.
Tyler nodded back and grabbed his backpack and holstered his empty pistol. "Let's move." Tyler said before suddenly exiting through the window. The huntress followed in hot pursuit, Trying to stay in the shadows and not fall in the Sun's Rays. Tyler ran toward the street, Hiding behind a large dumpster and making up a plan.
Tyler saw only two infected, Both of them walking in different directions. One was walking right in tyler's direction, Heading towards the garbage can. But something about the infected made tyler very, Very interested. He was dressed in a military uniform, Appeared to be recently infected. But he also had a military issued handgun strapped onto his thigh. Perhaps he was also carrying ammo.
Tyler thought quickly, If only he hadn't forgotten the damn knife in the abandoned apartment.
Tyler adjusted himself behind the dumpster, Accidently knocking over a empty can of peaches. The infected cocked his head back and stared at the dumpster, Staring at it before rushing it. The other infected was walking away, Only leaving the military dressed infected a threat. "Shit..." Tyler said aloud as he saw the infected run towards him.
Tyler wasn't prepared for the force this infected was bringing, It tackled him at the waist and instantly tried to sink it's teeth into something. He grabbed it by the ears, Keeping it's dirty and blood-stained teeth away from his face/neck. He dropped one hand to it's neck and held it back as he reached for anything. All he grabbed was dirt and pebbles.
Just when tyler thought he was dead, The weight of the infected was suddenly lifted off of him. He jumped up and saw the infected and the huntress fighting, Him slamming his arm into her face and her failing to claw him.
Tyler panicked, He ran towards the infected right as it was going to punch her directly in the nose. He tackled the bastard by the body and sent it on it's stomach. Before it could get up tyler landed on him and grabbed it by the hair. It growled in anger and failed to grab tyler.
Tyler was furious, He noticed he was treating the huntress as if she was a human. He slammed the infected's face into the hard concrete many times, Blood pouring from it's face and he heard the growls get weaker. He spotted a nearby brick and grabbed it firmly.
He slammed the brick over and over into the infected's head. It bled furiously and started to not even make a effort to escape. Tyler realized he was beating a motion-less corpse and he caught his breath.
He looked back at the huntress, Who layed still. He scrambled over and saw her bleeding slightly from the lip and saw various flesh wounds all over her cheeks, Nose, And chin. She looked like a mess and tyler held her in his arms. "Damn..." Tyler said quietly, A bit of sadness in his voice. Tyler dragged her over to the dumpster, Leaning her against it and reaching into his backpack.
She stopped him and stood up on her own. "You're strong." Tyler noted as she seemed like the fight never happened. Tyler quickly ran out, Walking to the dead military man. Grabbing his pistol and retreiving ammo from his belt and pockets. "Twenty shots..." Tyler thought as he counted the ammo he retreived.
After crossing a couple of blocks unharmed, They made it towards a lone house with a wooden fence. Tyler made his way inside, His pistol drawn but only finding silence. They scanned the rooms, Not even finding a corpse. Hell, Even the spooky looking basement was empty. Tyler reinforced every exit, Blocking them with furniture. Tyler made his way into the kitchen, Looking at the sink for a moment. "What if...I doubt it..." He said to himself before getting close the sink then suprisingly turning it on! "Yes! Water!" Tyler said aloud and dove his head under the sink, The cold water rushed over his head made his hair completely soaked.
The huntress stared at him before getting close and staring at him soak his head. Tyler took his head out and shut off the water, Shaking his head and letting tiny droplets of water fly everywhere. "Well...Guess i'm staying here for the night. Place has got water and light." Tyler thought and shut off the kitchen light. His eyes adjusted to the darkness, The huntress already walking upstairs. He followed quickly behind, But entered the bathroom. He opened the shower door and closed the bathroom door.
Out of curiousity he turned on the shower and was suprised it wasn't completely freezing water. This made him extremely excited. "If she hasn't bursted in now...Doubt she will later." Tyler thought as he heard footsteps of the huntress.
Tyler stripped off all of his clothes, Smelling himself he was disgusted and instantly jumped into the shower. He washed himself hard, Getting that nasty B.O smell out and washing his hair. Never had he loved taking a shower more, The feeling of the water raining down felt great.
He stood there for a moment, Looking at his various tattoos. Most were some that he got at a young age, Thinking they were "Cool". Just tribal bands scattered here and there, Something he regretted.
What tyler didn't know, Someone was watching him. The huntress cracked open the door very slightly, Peeking through the crack and had a confused face as she watched the police officer shower.
She felt shivers here and there, She felt uncomfortable in her clothes. Also she felt like she had this itch she needed to scratch but she didn't know where it was coming from. Tyler heard a creak on the wooden floor outside the door and whipped his head around. He adjusted his eyes to the darkness outside the door, Seeing a very faint red glow. He stood there staring at this glow before it...Blinked. "Oh dear god..." Tyler thought as he realized who was watching him. He began to panic, Grabbing a towel he always carried with him and wrapped it around himself.
After shutting off the water, He darted out and threw open the door. "What are you doing?!" Tyler questioned the huntress that stood up from the ground and stared at him. She only gave a confused and...Cute look. Her eyes were huge, They sometimes looked cute when her mouth was slightly open and she stared confused.
Tyler stared back at her and gulped as she brought her face closer to his. She only stared at him, Then sniffed lightly at his neck. His scent was different. More pure, More...Clean. She enjoyed it and tyler could see that since she gave a sinister smirk and sniffed more.
Tyler found his hands on her hips and her hands on his shoulders as she stood on her tip-toes and sniffed him. Tyler decided that he couldn't get attached to her, And pulled away. She gave a pout but tyler ignored it and grabbed his gear, Moving into a bedroom and beginning to change.
Tyler only ignored her the best he could, Laying on the cold wooden floor in a large thermal and dark green cargo pants. The weather was getting colder this time around, It didn't matter though. Tyler felt much more comfortable in the soft cushy thermal. He had a smirk on his face as he locked everything and layed down. Well...That is until a certain someone clinged onto him.
He only gave a gentle sigh and looked down to see her shoe clenched around his legs, And her right arm moving up his chest. She felt the soft fabric slowly, She liked it since it was similar to her sweater.
Tyler slightly felt uncomfortable, The feeling of her cold claws wasn't exactly great. "Quit that." Tyler whispered as he grabbed her hand. That's when she gave a gentle gasp and tyler felt her lay there. She gripped his hand and tyler gave a groan. "Great, Now we have to hold hands." Tyler thought as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
(Thanks to everyone who followed so far. Tell me, What do you guys (And gals) think of Tyler and the huntress? How far do you think their relationship will go? Do you think tyler is being to harsh to her, Or do you think his feelings are understandable?)
