(Adam's POV)

"JAY!" I yell. Running towards him I could hear people saying some words, but the glass muffle their voices. I could see that his face was even more pale than before the bullet. I tore off part of his sweatshirt, and tried to stop the bleeding from his wounds. His voice was faint he tried to calm me down but, I couldn't bare losing him again. I told him not to move, he couldn't anyway, and I ran to the door. As I opened the door I was met with the barrel of a rifle, I couldn't tell because I had my good eye covered in bandages. " Please don't kill us, we are already wounded as it is. I don't want to loose my brother again." I said with tears forming in my eyes. "We wouldn't kill you we thought we saw an infected in the window so we tried taking it out." The man with scorpion tattoo on his left arm. "Well you shot Jay in the abdomen and now he wont stop bleeding, please I beg you can you help us?" I said to the group in front of me. As the looked at eachother hesitantly, I looked over to Jay and ran towards him. He was trying to say something, but he voice was to faint to hear anything. "Shit we got a hunter! Damn it kid get out of the way!" As one of the men tried to take off of Jay, I grabbed the dagger I found in the road earlier. As he lifted me up I took it out and stabbed it into his side. He dropped me and I quickly ran over to Jay to see how he was doing. The bleeding has stopped for now but the man returned, boy he was pissed. I turned around to face him, but I got knocked down onto Jay chest when his fist hit my face. I could here the girl in the group say, "What the hell John? Why'd you punch the kid in the face?" "Because this little shit stabbed me in the side!" I said rubbing my face, "Well if you hadn't tried to molest me I wouldn't have stabbed you, and besides I'm trying to save my brother's life here!" "Kid your brother is dead, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?! He's not human he's a hunter now and like the other infected he'll have to get put down." I said with an angered voice, "Well maybe you hadn't shot my brother, I wouldn't have done that, ya shitbag." I got up to guard Jay but as John when to strike me again, Jay caught his fist in time. The only time I've seen Jay severely pissed was when I had a run in with a smoker, and trust me it's not a pretty sight. He was beyond pissed, I was glad to see him alive. I could tell the John was in pain, due to the fact that he both got stabbed, and Jay crushing his hand. "Jay don't kill him please we don't need another common in here again." I tried to separate John from Jay's death grip. I was glad to see his still alive, but boy he as in a lot of pain. I told him to let go and he was leaning on me. I was trying to find a place for to set him down and rest. The girl in the group helped me put him on the counter. "You must have a bond or something with this hunter, I can also saw that your worried for him." She said as she help Jay get comfortable. "I'm Adam holding out my bloody hand." I tried putting back but she grabbed it anyway. "I'm Alice, it was nice to finally meet a new face for once. And a non hostile hunter." She said with a smile, then quickly turned into a concerned look. "To be honest with you, I didn't know there were others still alive. I thought I was the last one." I looked her sky blue eyes, and thought to myself; I wonder when I'll see the sun again, it's been a while since I last saw it. She asked me; "How did you get the bandage on your face, if you don't mind me asking?" I hesitated a bit and pulled her into the bathroom. "Promise me you'll not freak out." I said holding both of her hands. She nodded in agreement. I slowly took off my bandages revealing the claw marks on my look of terror formed in her face I knew she was going to scream, with in a split second I covered her mouth before she could make a peep. I didn't knew I could be that fast, but as quickly as that thought appeared. That's how fast it disappeared. "Please don't make any sound." I said removing my hand slowly from Alice's mouth. She opened the door and signalled a different man into the bathroom. "Yeah Alice? You need to help me with this." She looked at me and back at him. "Is he- Is he infected? I don't think so." He picked me up and brought me back up to Jay. He sat me next to him and took a look at my face. While he was doing that, Jay had put his head into my lap, as I stroked his messy hair I could tell he was smiling at me. So I smiled back at him. After the man finished up with me, he went to Jay. He lifted up his sweatshirt and at that moment, I saw Alice blush a little. "He not taken you know Alice, he's as free as the air we're breathing right now." Both Alice and Jay were blushing, Alice even more red than before, and Jay having a blue tint to his skin starting turning purple. I laughed a little and decided to head towards John and the other man standing there. "Sorry John about my brother earlier, he's a bit protective over what's his." Trying to make amends I held out my hand to apologize for the both of us. "Well there's one thing for sure he's not like any other infected that we've ran into before that's for sure. I'm Adam, sorry for stabbing you John. You better watch yourself nexttime kid, you know your brother won't be here that much longer since he's an infected." I eyes widen, thinking about what he just said. Is he going to try killing Jay? I don't know. The other man's voice snapped me out of my deep thought. "Well looks like this place is well secure, I'm Travis and the man working on your brother's Eric. We are sorry for causing you some trouble not that long ago. Well if you don't piss Jay off you could stay here for the night." I said with a perky smile and headed towards Alice. "Wellthe bullet's out and beside that you look like you're still healthy, well except he hole in you stomach." Jay gives off a sound almost similar to the purr after Alice gave him a hug, for not clawing their faces off. "I see you're into my brother Alice, you this close to him so you might aswell ask him out already." I said looking at the two. "Well, um, even though he's dead I kinda think that." She mumbles the rest. "Before you get personal with my brother, we'll have to know all of our ages. I'll start, I'm 15 and Jay is 20." Starting from Alice going over to Eric, and ending with John and Travis, I'm 20 as well, 34, 40, and I'm 26. Well looks like we're all mostly young here." I said looking at John. "Well it's getting dark I think we should put away our conflicts and head off to bed. Sleep sounds amazing right now, I'm in." As we all went to bed I took first watch with Alice and Jay. Alice looked like she was still in college, her long dark brown hair, sky blue eyes, and her figure is, just wow. I'm surprised that Jay hasn't tried anything yet. I looked over to Alice's group and examined what's in front of me. John well, the scorpion tattoo on his left arm, the scars on his face and the piercings, how could anyone trust this guy? Travis, well he seemed like a nice person, but he looks like he's so uptight. He really needs to lose that suit of his. Eric, well if Jay can trust him I could try to get to know him and the group. "Hey Alice, I'll let you and Adam get to know each other better in a more private place."She punches me hard in arm blushing very hard. Jay just slaps me across the face leaving more claw marks again.
