[R/D]chapter twenty one: hunting with the best!

(Y/n) POV, 7 days before Toby~~~~~~~~~~~

The truck was beyond help, we've been walking on the freeway for a really long time, cher looks guilty, but I'm not sure why.

"Cher..?"
I mumble, but theres no response.

"I'm sorry, for distracting you, we couldve been in Denver by now..."
I whisper, still no sign of her even knowing I'm speaking.

"...I was gonna give you up."
Cher mumbles, I stare at her with wide eyes.

"When you were around 2, you cried constantly, I couldn't get a moment of peace...I met a group, the one that died after your 5th birthday...I saw you become so happy and playful, you were never like that with just me.."
Cher says.

"...so the day after your 5th birthday, I was talking to your friend Annie's parents, Martin and patty, they said if I left, they'd protect you...but two days after, the night I was going to leave, the farm was invaded by los muertos, I couldnt leave knowing you could die...so i took you and ran."
Cher says.

"...you tried to give me away...?"
I ask quietly.

"...i even tried a few more times. every time we met people, I would try to convince them to take you, but they would die before I could leave...I stopped after you turned 13, it seemed cruel after that, you were like my child by then, and if I lost you..."
Cher stops.

"We can find somewhere else to live, if you dont wanna go to Denver. A farm, far away into the woods, we could live peaceful lives away from everyone."
Cher says.

"But...we wouldnt be completely safe, you wouldnt be completely safe."
I say.

"(Y/n), please, listen to me...I want to be at Denver because I want to know you're safe, after you were older, I started to realize why I never just left you alone, why I always tried to get another group to have you...I never wanted to know you were hurt, if I ever succeeded in leaving you, I'd be completely broken...you're my last stand of hope."
Cher says.

"Hope for what...?"
I ask.

"..hope for sanity, for a good life...hope that everything will work out happily."
Cher says, before stopping in her tracks and staring at me.

"If anything ever happens, if I go missing, if I die...i want you to find your way to Denver, you'll be safe there, and if I'm still Alive, I'll be there too...waiting for you."
Cher says, handing me a country map, the states we've crossed are marked with a black X, and theres a red marker trail leading from where we started to Denver.

"...please dont try to leave me...I wanna be there with you."
I say, starting to tear up...this conversation is fucking destroying me.

"I'll do everything in my power to be there, but promise me that you will never give up, okay..?"
Cher asks, I nod, drying my tears and putting the map In my backpack.

"...I promise."

Flashback over~~~~~~~~~~~~

I gave sam a bow, but I havent taught him how to use it yet, for that, we'll need to find something to kill.

"How long have you been in your group...?"
Sam asks.

"I'm not sure, I think around half a month, maybe more."
I say.

"Toby seems nice...did you come to save him?"
Sam asks.

"Yeah, we walked all day to reach him, I guess it's a good thing we did, I met you and Oliver, you two are amazing..!"
I say, Sam smiles and turns slightly pink.

"You're pretty amazing too...you acted really calm when everything was going to hell, it was really cool...!"
Sam says, I stop walking and crouch, pulling Sam down with me.

"Look."
I say, pointing to a buck, he looks pretty big, hed feed us for at least five days...

"D-do I have to shoot him?"
Sam asks, I smile and grab the bow attacked to his back, holding it out for him.

"I'll teach you how."
I say, Sam grabs the bow, I put his hands in the areas they should be in, he reacts by getting shakey breath.

I put the arrow on the bow and draw it back with his hands, then I let go, but hes still holding onto it.

"Aim a little above the head and let go of the arrow."
I saw, Sam nods and let's go of the arrow, the buck bellows and falls, Sam hit it through its eye.

"Woah...you're a natural!"
I say, smiling at him, he smiles back and holds the bow close.

"Thanks...I thought I missed for a second."
Sam says.

"Now we have food for the ride, we don't need to stop for almost a week!"
I say, jumping up and laughing, Sam gets up and just watches me, smiling widely.

Noah POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have no idea why Jack wanted to go with me, or why anyone let (y/n) go with that blonde boy, Sam. But I feel like I shouldnt question it...especially since (y/n) is happy right now, that small time when that dickhead Toby got kidnapped, they were so sad...and silent.

"I hate this, all we got was another bunny, this would last one meal only! Well, If this is what we got, I'd imagine (y/n) and Sam didnt get much either."
Jack says.

We walk out of the woods and dont see the two in the other group, just Toby and Oliver.

"Hey, wheres the others?"
Jack asks.

"They havent come back yet."
Oliver says.

"But...its sundown, we agreed to come back by now."
Jack says.

"Yeah, that's why we're worried. (Y/n) has a problem with going straight into danger."
Toby says, that's fair, they're always somewhere bad.

Before we can go back to search, a loud scream attracts all of us to the woods.

"Hey guys! Look at this big guy!!"
(Y/n) screams, them and sam are dragging a pretty decent sized buck to the camp.

"Woah..that's so much food!'
Jack says, running over and helping them.

"Let's cook this up and put it in the carriage then we can leave at sunrise!"
Oliver says.

Lets see how long it takes until total hell comes back.
