[R/D]chapter fifty eight: the searchers and the still.

Oliver POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The door slams closed, and the adrenaline of the moment slowly fades from me...we survived, we all actually survived...that's fucking amazing.

"Holy shit, we fucking did it!"
Alex cheers.

"Yes, we did...!"
The blonde exclaims.

"Yeah...we did."
I mumble, looking around...somethings off here.

...wait, Wheres (y/n) and Toby..? (Y/n) was dragging Toby, right...? Was nobody watching them...? They have a mangled fucking leg, if nobody was making sure they could handle the weight, then what if...

"...guys?"
I call out.

"I mean, i really thought there would be a problem or two."
Alex carries on.

"Guys??"
I call out again, slightly louder than before.

"Yeah, but we Fehkin did it!"
River exclaims.

"GUYS!"
I shout, they turn to me.

"Hm?"
The blonde hums.

"We're missing two people! Toby and (y/n) aren't here!"
I say.

They look around, and the realization is noticeable on their faces...but Alex is surprisingly the one with the most shocked expression.

"Axel isn't here either....he's stuck in that place! We need to go back!"
Alex yells.

"Yeah, im with ya, (y/n) shouldn't be trusted by their own, and Toby shouldn't be trusted alone with (y/n)."
River says...im with them, he shouldn't be alone with them, not after Toby's break down when they broke their leg.

They walk to the door and pull on it, it doesn't budge, and a silence looms over us all as River's hand stays on the handle.

"...none of you locked the door, right?"
Conny mumbles.

"Is it self locking..?"
I ask.

"I don't care if its self-anything, im gonna self-break-the-fucking-door-down and get Axel out of there!!"
Alex growls.

"Fuck, man, you don't think we're worried too? Our own is in that place too! Calm the fuck down and help us figure this out!"
I say.

"You don't get it, Axel acts on impulse if nobody's around to talk him out of stuff, that's why he kidnapped that group member of yours in the first place, he needs to be watched or he'll make stupid decisions!"
Alex exclaims.

"Not like fightin' an entire horde...right?"
River mumbles.

"..he fucking might."
Alex says.

"Then we need to find our way inside again!"
I say.

"A follow up chapter...great."
Conny mumbles.

"Fuck off with your comic book game, we have three people to save from at least a hundred infected...and we have to do it quick."
I say.

Please let Alex be lying, (y/n) and Toby both act impulsive, so another impulsive person would get them both killed..

Axel POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I close the door behind me, staring at the hallway...i can still hear the dead, clear as a fucking nightmare. Even if i make it out through the back, I'll still just be a dozen or so feet away from them...i have to be ready to run, if it comes to it.

"Okay...here goes everything."
I whisper, walking down the hall.

I quickly make it to another blind, this one is open through. I walk through and find myself at another store, the same things from the other one are in this...is this the same store? Why would they put two of the same store here? Pre apocalyptic people were fucking dumb.

"Anyone out here to kill me..?"
I mumble, before chuckling at the silence.

"You sure? No big bad monster gonna pop out and tear my spleen out of me? Alright then."
I joke...being cocky to the air is better than being cocky at the zombies, they'll rip my fucking head off.

I look around in the store...all the things are off the shelves, and it looks like blood was splattered all over the floors a while ago, its either someone died here a few months back or people died in here to get games before the apocalypse.

"Well then I'll just take my leave."
I say, walking out of the store.

I slowly walk through the halls of the mall...its creepily quiet, but i know that if i turned the wrong corner, I'd go against hundreds of smelly monsters that want my guts.

"Bandages...i need that at least."
I say, more things would be great, but at my luck, I'd be lucky to get bandaids.

I try not to squeak my shoes across the flooring as i cross store by store...bear shop, shop with a lot of black clothes and chains, and a shop that is way too pink for me to even want to look at it.

"Hm?"
I hum, looking down the hall...is that one of those red crosses? Those are usually at hospitals...so thats...

"A pharmacy...!"
I mumble, staring at it like its the savior to all my problems...well, its definitely gonna be a savior to (y/n).

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

Fucking hell, that hurts....he said i pulled stitches, right? That's definitely gonna fuck up the healing process, but hopefully it doesn't mean i have to walk around like this the entire way to Denver.

"Well shit..."
I mumble, sitting up a bit more. I lean on a shelf to make sure i don't fall...man, im dizzy..

I look around the game store...its all empty, all the games, all the consoles, everything, nostalgia seems to creep off of this place, even though Cher avoided malls. 'Large cages just waiting to pin you' she called them'.

"Hey Toby, wanna hear a story..?"
I ask, he doesn't respond..i wonder if he's sleeping peacefully, or if he's in pain from the rock, his head has a pretty decent sized bump.

"...i remember meeting this boy, James, he carried his old game controller in his backpack because he always hoped he'd be able to use it...i wish him and his family lived after los muertos attacked."
I mumble.

I stare down at Toby for a second...sleeping soundly, im sure if he was awake, he'd be going on and on about needing to help me, or he would've shoved Axel aside and ran off to find things for me instead..he's always been protective of me.

"Then again, i was 11 when i met him, if they lived...they would've been the ones Cher gave me to, and i wouldn't have been heading to Denver...and i probably wouldn't have met you."
I continue, putting a hand on Toby's cheek, he seems to twitch a bit..can he feel it?

"You cant hear me...but im glad i found you, i know i was pissy at first, but i just didn't want any problems with reaching Denver...but you helped me find the others, and all of you've all saved me from certain death multiple times."
I confess.

Noah...Conny...River...Greyson, even Alex...im glad i met you all...i wouldn't be as happy as i am now if i left Toby, because Toby led me to Jack, and Jack jumping out that window gave enough time for me to meet Noah, everything after Toby slowly came into place, and it led me to a family.

In a way, Toby was the person who made me who i am at this very moment...part of a family, and he's like my helpful brother of some sort..saving me and caring for me...and i love him like a sibling would, i care for him as much as Cher cared for me.

"...I love you, Toby."
I mumble, smiling a bit to myself.

I hear los muertos bang at the metal pull-down, and i look over at it and chuckle...im glad Axel pulled that down, or who knows what would've happened.

"They're persistent, aren't they..?"
I chuckle, looking back to Toby, but my heart jumps in shock when i do.

Toby's eyes are open.
