Chapter 3
Seth and I managed to find a working car that would take us to Buffalo, New York. We had enough food and when night came along, we stopped along the road for the night and slept in the back seat, which was a mini van so there was plenty of room. Ever since Seth came along, I haven’t had any nightmares or bad dreams. Seth may be a Hunter, but he’s my Hunter and I won’t let anybody hurt him. Whenever I was cold during the night, Seth would curl around my body and either growl or purr to let me know he was there. He was certainly an odd Hunter, that’s for sure. We got moving the next morning and by the time we just reached the city, the car broke down. “Damn…” I swore and grabbed everything we needed. “Guess we’re walking the rest of the way Seth.” Seth only growled softly and stayed close by my side as we walked into the abandoned city. The city was quiet….too quiet. That’s when Seth lifted his head and sniffed the air. Then, a low and dangerous growl came from his throat. “What?” I asked him and that’s when I heard a very raspy cough and something slimy and long wrapped around my torso and pulled me up a fire escape. “Shit!!” I swore and struggled to grab my gun, but my arms were currently pinned to my sides. The Smoker let out a raspy cough and the tongue around me tightened, beginning to cause my chest to tighten and air to fade away. That’s when Seth snarled and jumped at the Smoker, knocking it to the ground and right when he grabbed the tongue that ensnared me, he ripped it right out of the Infected’s mouth. The Smoker screeched and rasped in pain before Seth grabbed his throat and ripped it cleanly out. The Smoker fell dead to the ground and I yanked the tongue off of me and tossed it away. “Ugh…gross….” I mumbled and climbed down the fire escape. We continued through the city until we heard snarling. “Fuck!” I swore as Common Infected ran straight at us. Seth snarled and immediately wrapped his left arm around my middle and jumped, clinging to the walls of the building. That’s when a Charger came through the Common Infected and used it’s large, bloated arm to grab my ankle. “Ah!” I yelled out and started shooting at it. It snarled and yanked me from Seth’s grasp and threw me across the road. “Ah….” I groaned, holding my side. “Fuck……” That’s when a couple Common Infected came up from behind me and grabbed me. “Shit! Fuck off!” I elbowed one of them in the face and then shot it through the eye. The other one that still had me snarled viciously and then bit into my neck. I screamed out in pain and then shot it through the head. It collapsed to the ground and I held a hand to my neck as the wound bled. Seth jumped down beside me and screeched before grabbing me and jumping onto the roof of a building. I pulled my hand away from my neck and felt the warmth come out of it as it healed. Seth whined and pawed at my shoulder. I sighed as the wound finally healed. “I’m alright, I’m okay…” Seth purred and nuzzled his face against my neck. I sighed and gently laid my arm around his shoulders, in a sort of hug. “I’m alright….” And then a bullet whizzed by his head. Seth screeched and looked for the person who shot at him and I shoved him behind me and cried out. “No, don’t shoot!” I shouted, holding my hands up. “Are you fucking crazy?!” a guy in a white suit asked loudly from the building across from us. “That’s a Hunter! Get out of the way!” “No!” I shouted at him. “He’s my Hunter! He’s friendly!” Seth was crouched at my legs, clinging to my right leg and growling dangerously at the man in the white suit. “Nick, stop!” a younger man came and lowered his friend’s gun. “It’s kinda like with Jessica, you know, her having a pet Witch.” The man, Nick, thought for a moment and then sighed angrily, putting his gun in his belt. “Whatever.” And he walked off. The younger man sighed and looked at me. “Sorry about that. Nick’s not exactly the friendly type.” I snorted. “I noticed.” I gave Seth’s head a pat and he grabbed me and we jumped over to the building where Seth let me down. “Are you David?” “No, I’m Ellis.” The younger man replied. “David’s in the building with the other survivors.” “How many of you are there?” I asked. “Well, there’s………10 of us, including me and you’re the 11th.” Ellis replied. “Just don’t mind Nick, he’s not a people person.” I snorted and Seth growled softly. I patted his head and we followed Ellis into the building. “We’ve got about three to four people in every apartment on this floor, so we have enough room. We’ve got running water, electricity and plenty of food, for now until we have to go for supplies.” He explained. “You and your Hunter can have your own apartment if you want. There’s one on the corner of the hallway.” “Thanks.” I nodded at him. Seth and I went to the end of the hallway and found the apartment, nice-looking too. I set everything down and sighed, rubbing my neck where I had been bitten. Seth pawed at my legs and then hugged them, nuzzling his face against my thigh and purred. That’s when a girl with glasses came into the room, followed by a Witch. “Hey there! Welcome to…..” her voice trailed off when she looked closely at my face. “Shell?” My eyes widened in shock. “Jess!!” I cried out and we squealed and hugged each other. “Oh my god! How’d you get up here from Alabama?!” I questioned when we pulled away. “When everyone started eating each other, David saved me from a few of the Infected and we’ve hung out ever since. I found my Witch here, we became close and then found Zoey and the group and here we are.” Jessica replied, patting her Witch’s head. I sighed in relief. “It’s good to know that you’re alright.” I looked in the doorway and gasped when I saw my best friend, Stormy. “Storm!!” I nearly glomped her to the ground. “You’re here too?!” She smiled and hugged me back just as tightly. “Yeah, Jess and I are rooming together along with Zoey and Rochelle.” I sighed in relief and pulled away from her. “What about Cody o-or even Lindsey?” “I uh……..well…..I saw Jack get eaten……and Cody…..he uh…sacrificed his life to save me.” Stormy replied sadly. I felt tears come to my eyes. “And my sister……?” Stormy shook her head. “She and Taylor…they uh…….got caught up in a blast….” This time, the tears fell and I hung my head. Seth whined and butted his head against my thigh, knowing he was there for me. I sniffed and sighed. “Alright….I think I’m gonna take a nap ‘cause my feet hurt like hell.” The two smiled. “We’ll leave that to you then.” The two left and I shut the door. I grabbed the mattress from the bedroom and placed it in the middle of the living room before kicking my shoes off, taking my jacket off and lying down. Seth whined and curled up behind me, snuggling his face into my hair and purred. I sniffled and turned to face him. Next thing I knew, Seth had flipped over onto his back and I was shocked when his clawed hands pulled me on top of him. I felt the deep rumble in his chest as he purred. I blushed a little and buried my face into his hoodie before sighing and falling asleep. The next time I woke, I was on my side and Seth was holding me tightly to him, his breathing quiet. His heart beat was steady. I blushed slightly at the closeness. I had never been this close to someone before, human or Infected. Not only that I had become a Hunter’s friend, but it had become attached to me. I felt tears sting the corners of my eyes as my family came to my mind. Only two of my friends were left and my entire family was dead. The last piece of life I had left to hold onto was Seth. I blinked and the tears rolled down my face. I had to bite back the choked sob that threatened to come through, but Seth sensed my discomfort and lifted his head, his eerie blue eyes glancing at me from underneath his hood. An expression of concern crossed his face when he saw my tears and he reached out with his left hand and gently brushed them away, careful not to claw me. I sniffled and looked up at him and he growled softly, laying his hand on my cheek. His touch was gentle, very unusual for a Hunter. I sighed softly and closed my eyes, but then they opened when I was suddenly on my back and Seth was hovering above me. I was a little confused by his actions and I felt my face heat up when he leaned down and lightly licked my cheek, purring. “What are you doing…?” I asked quietly. A very small smile caressed his face and I was a little shocked that Hunters could even smile. His cool lips brushed my cheek and then trailed down to my neck, inhaling my scent deeply. I very slightly tilted my head up and Seth’s warm breath trailed over the marks on my neck before he gently ran his tongue over them. My body tensed up as I came to remember that my neck was an extremely weak spot of mine. Seth seemed to sense this and my eyes widened in horror when his teeth latched onto my neck. But he didn’t bite down, which is why I was confused in why I got scared. I can’t turn. Seth bit down a bit more and then his tongue came out and licked the mark before he pulled away. Seth looked at my face and his jaw moved, like he was struggling to say something. I watched him and then my eyes widened. “S…..She……Sheelllll……..” My mouth fell open and I quickly sat up. “You…..you said my name. You said my name!” I laughed and pulled the startled Hunter in for a hug. “Seth, that’s awesome! Oh my god!” I pulled back and saw a small smile on his face. “Seth, I’m so proud of you.” My Hunter purred loudly and nuzzled his face into my chest, growling softly. I blushed a little and put my arms around his shoulders and smiled.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
