[R/D]chapter forty four: the hunter and the hermit.

(Y/n) POV~~~~~~~~~~

"My feet hurt..."
Toby mumbles.

"My feet are basically non existent at this point."
Conny says.

"Can you all shut the fuck up?"
Oliver asks.

"Stop being pissy Oliver."
I scowl, hes been a pain in the ass since i yelled at him.

"Still not talking? All right."
Conny mumbles, looking at the man who's stuck next to me the entire time, i think hes scared of Oliver.

"He doesnt have to, he might be uncomfortable with it."
I say.

"I miss the truck."
Toby whines.

"I miss the food."
Conny says.

"I miss sleep."
I mumble, rubbing my eyes.

"Hey, where exactly are we now?"
Toby asks.

"Uh...good question, id say a little ways into the start of missouri."
I say.

"I miss food."
Conny groans.

"You already said that."
Oliver says.

"But i miss it ×2...!"
Conny says.

"Fuck you."
Oliver growls, i smack him over the head.

"Fehk, ya cant go a minute without doin' somethin dumb, can ya?"
River mumbles, crossing their arms.

"Stop being a dick!"
I hiss.

"Maybe you stop being a little cu-"
Oliver is interrupted by the man...gripping his arm tightly, he has a menacing face and eyes that could kill.

"...can we please just keep walking? I think st. Louis isnt that far."
Toby says.

The man lets go of Olivers arm and walks a little closer to me, making Oliver glare at him, before averting his eyes as the man tries to meet them.

"...thank you."
I mumble, the man looks away, scoffing, but i can see his ears turn a different color...maybe hes just embarrassed.

"One two three, small little doggies are we, we go 'round hoppin' never ever stoppin' as all the doggies join me..."
River mumbles.

"Whats that?"
I ask, they look at me for a second, before smiling.

"Me mothers lullaby, she'd be singin' it all night to me little sister and i."
River says.

"Thats really sweet..."
I say.

"Uh...hey look!"
Toby yells, pointing to a large arch-like thing.

"Huh, guess we made it so st. Louis....i wanna climb the arch."
Conny says.

"Dont ya fehkin dare Conny."
River mumbles.

"Lets just go, c'mon."
Oliver says quietly, walking away from the group and towards st. Louis.

"Damn...hes pretty pissed."
Toby says, walking along, Noah follows after him.

"Hey, its not your fault, Oliver is kind of an asshole."
Conny says, before walking towards the others.

"Yer not to blame, 'gottit?"
River says, walking along with the others.

I stare at them for a second, watching them all walk ahead of me as i stand still...i wonder where i would've been if i just didn't let Toby come with me, i would've lost friends..but maybe Jack would've been alive, Maybe Sam wouldn't have ran away...maybe I'd already be there, and I'd meet Cher and have a happy ending of my own..

A sudden feeling on my hand snaps me out of those thoughts, its the man...hes squeezing my hand, and looking straight at me.

"...thank you, again."
I say, the man, once again, scoffs and looks somewhere else.

I start walking, and he follows after.

...i dont feel so alone with him, odly enough.

Conny POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I look back at (y/n) and that big guy, hes holding their hand, its weird how quickly they trust people, its like they've never been betrayed by someone..that's weird, right? Its not just me that thinks that?

"Sleep sounds like heaven..."
Toby mumbles, my stomache growls agressively and i clutch it...high metabolism used to be a desired trait before the infection, now its just shitty.

"...im really hungry.."
I say.

"Fuck, we didnt eat at the farmhouse...anyone wanna hunt?"
Toby asks.

"Theres a national park somewhere, if we can find it, we can eat whatevers there."
(Y/n) says.

"But we cant all go, then by the time we have food, we'll have no shelter, and it'll probably be dark..!"
I say.

"As much as i hate to say it, hes right."
Oliver says.

"So how about we split into teams? One team of two goes to hunt, the others power themselves through the town and find a place, set a fire, and signal the hunting team!"
Toby says.

"Sounds good, who's the hunting team?"
I ask.

"I can go, im good at finding and hunting down animals."
(Y/n) says.

"Ah, then I'll--"
Toby is cut off by the tall man, who once again, grips (y/n)'s backpack, looking at us with an emotionless look, but his eyes are scary...scary man!

"...i think he wants to go."
Oliver mumbles.

"Yer damn right."
River says.

"Oh...guess im hunting with him then."
(Y/n) says, shrugging with a small smile.

"Fine...be careful, okay?"
I say.

"You too Conny, ill be back soon!"
(Y/n) says, walking off with the tall guy.

...this guy better not lose them, or im gonna be mad.

(Y/n) POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Walking past a broken, mossy fence, me and the guy walk into an overgrown park.

"So...why did you wanna go with me?"
I ask, the man looks at me, i dont really expect him to answer.

"...your friends."
The man says, my eyes widen, he spoke...!

"What...what about my friends?"
I ask, he scoffs.

"I dont like them, they're...loud."
The man says.

"Then why do you want to come with me? You could've just walked off without us."
I say.

"You're kind...caring, you gave me patience when your friends thought of me as a danger."
The man says.

"Well, thank you. That means a lot."
I say, hes looks away again...he does that a lot, doesn't he?

"...Greyson."
The man mumbles.

"Huh?"
I hum.

"My name. Greyson, i know your name, so...now you know mine."
Greyson says.

"Well, thank you again."
I say, smiling, Greyson looks away, scoffing.

"...you dont have to keep thanking me, im doing nothing."
Greyson mumbles, stepping over a rock.

"You're being nice, i think thats doing something."
I say.

"Buck."
Greyson mumbles, pointing to a large, fat buck.

"Good luck is on our side..."
I whisper, getting out my bow.

....Greyson, i like that name.
