Zander POV:

Our attention is dragged towards a bush which is now rustling and we brace ourselves for the worst case scenario. Peter and I are gripping onto sharp branches and I don't know what Alex is doing as he is out of my view.

The rustling gets ever so loud, nothing is louder than my hearts beating at this moment however.

A few slow seconds pass as we await the worst and we watch as a human shaped figure emerged from the bush, me and Peter quickly glance at each other and Peter grabs them and I hold my branch infront of them.

'W-woah! What are you doing!' The mystery person squeals.

'Should be asking you the same thing, who goes shouting in the middle of a forest?' Peter reprimands him

'Well it's not my fault I heard the loudest shouting ever, I thought someone was being attacked or something!' The mysterious man says.

'Fair point actually, that was my bad' Peter replies.

'Enough chit chat who are you!' ' Alex demands

'Why must I tell you that.' The mystery person says.

'Well..in case your murder us obviously' I says.

I press the branch more against him to show him I'm serious.

His eyes get slightly wider but not by much before he speaks out

'Fine, fine officer as long as you tell me your names first~' he says sarcastically.

We all give each other a glance before asked answers.

'Fine, but you better actually tell us your name.'
Peter says before implying I'm the one to say it.
'Ugh..fine I'll say it..' I sigh before starting our introduction

'I'm Zander, that's Alex' I point to Alex trying with the hand not holding the branch.

'And then that's Peter over there' I point to Peter with that same hand.

'Wait Alex?' The mystery man says.

'Uh..yeah? Who's asking' Alex suddenly lets his gaurd down slightly.

'Come on I don't look that messed up do I? Take a good look at me!' The mystery person adds on.

I glance at Alex whose just as confused as Peter and I at this point and he just shrugs

Alex POV:

I stare at the mysterious person and my mind draws a blank as I search for anything I can think of.

'Uhh..give me a hint' I say with a serious and confused face.

'Oh maybe the scar and hairs throwing you off actually..uh we were friends before all this apocalypse shit happened' he adds on
