Quick edit, omg I love this, it has kinda an underlining nanocoffee but its just so cool to write!
Duncan's pov
I walked around our "base". It was a simple cabin up north, lewis thought it would be best to go north. We were in California, America when the apocalypse happened. It was me, Kim, Lewis, Simon, Sips and Sjin. But a few days ago, Sjin and Sips went out to scout for food, and they haven't returned since. We're hopeful and Kim insists we wait for them, but the rest of us want to move on. We waited two days for them, we're going to wait a little longer, but we're almost out of food, we need to move on. I passed lewis. Boy had he changed over 8 months we've spent in this hell. It shows in his eyes, he's lost faith on humanity, he has a torn up faded red shirt and and a worn pair of jeans, he had a large jacket fur to keep him warm, it had a small bit of frost on it from the snow outside. He was busy packing all the supplies and looked deep in thought. He walked out of the room without a word or even so much as a glance. I turned to see Kim sitting in a wooden chair, she seemed hurt, unlike the rest of us, she still had hope. She was the light of the group, the only thing keeping us humane. She stayed relatively cheerful and optimistic, even through our distress. Even through her layers of clothes I could see how frail she had become. Her hair was uneven and jagged, she kept it trimmed with a pocket knife to keep it from snagging, she refused to cut it shorter than her ears though, but if we got too low on suppliew we might need it to start a fire, its something we've done before. She held herself and shoke, she was as cold as the rest of us, she was bundled up in the purple jacket I found her with her hood pulled up above her head. She had small white gloves that have faded over time and become a cream colour with bits of brown and darkened blood sploches from long ago. They were so worn that the fingers had torn up at the fingers and eventually were so bad that they had to be cut off. She was in a pair of skinny jeans, again so they wouldn't get caught on anything, she cut up the knees though so she could move the same. She had a pair of purple earmuffs, that I found with the jacket. There was a splatter of blood on them still bright from earlier when we we're running from zombies. The story was,we went out to look for Sips and Sjin and we all got separated and she got out and was alone, from both people and zombies. She had a knife, but we didn't have enough guns with ammo for all of us, so me and her had no guns, I had a baseball bat and she had my knife. So she started to look around for us, lewis and simon had run in the complete other direction, but she thought she had seen me come her way. So she started to whisper for me and walked around to find me. Then as she searched five oe six zombies came up on her, see stayed calm and took them down but one crept up behind her and went to bite her when she turned. She dropped the knife on accident and fell to the snow covered ground stained with blood, she struggled to keep it off of her and screamed, crying for me. I was actually a lot closer than we had thought at the time so I heard her and camr running. I knew better than to think she was just trying to find me, she would never scream unless she was desperate. She continued to struggle and then I ran up behind the zombie and swung the bat. It decapitated the thing, well mostly, and the blood splattered over her ear muffs and face. She shoved it off and jumped on me, the force almost knocked me off my feet, her hands gripped roughly onto the back of my greenish grayish jacket. Her head buried into my chest amd I put my arms around her. We sat in breif silence before Lewis and Simon ran up next to us, panting slightly.
"Are you guys okay? We heard Kim scream?" Lewis said hurriedly. Kim got off of me a little shakily,
"Yeah I'm fine, just a little shoken up, the only thing hurt is probably Duncan's back from my nails" she smiled lightly. Simon walked up next to her in his camo outfit that once belonged to a membee of the military. His beard had grown long making him seem more like the dwarf he used to be, however his massive belly had grown smaller from lack of food. He walked up to kim and laughed a little.
"You got a little somethin'." He said knocking off a bit of flesh from her hair.
"Oh gross!" She fake gagged.
But now she sat in the chair without so much of a hint of that smile we all loved. I walked over and pulled a chair up next to her.
"I'm sure they're fine." I lied, in this world people died all the time. Hannah had been with us too, she didn't make it very long, in the first moments of panic, we went to raid a convenient store close to the convention we were going to. We got there right in time for zombie to get into a big group of people and most turned within moments, we took off but someone grabbed her arm begging her to help them. It was a women and her family was freshly bitten, Hannah tried to shake her off and run, she screamed at the women telling her to let go, but her grip was too strong, and it was the women's family that turned and took both her and hannah down. Another time we had a group of people we stayed with when someone came back bitten and didn't tell anyone, it seems its taking the bites longer to infect people now, but the group quickly turned and we fleed as we watched our new friends died. So I doubt that sips and sjin somehow came out alive.
"You're a liar" she said faintly. Even when she seems so broken, she still jokes with us, she looked up and gave me a small half smile. I looked at her eyes, and I saw something I haven't for a long time, despair. I suddenly hugged her tightly around the shoulders. She jumped a little and froze, confused by the sudden hug.
"W-why are you hugging me?" she said faintly
"Because you look like you could use a hug." I said as I burried my head in her shoulder.
"Are you sure its me that needs a hug?" She relaxed a little and put her arms loosely on my lower back, "And not you?" She finished lightly.
"I don't know Kim, we probably both do."
"You're probably right" she sighed and gave in entirely, relaxing completely into my hold.
"Sorry to interrupt you two, but we've gotta go, now!" Simon popped into the room and gathered bags quickly. Then we heard the loud boom of a gun being fired at the front.
"What's going on!" I cried as simon began pushing us out the back door shoving a bag into my hands, I grabbed my bat that was leaning on the wall next to the door as I was shoved out roughly.
"Take Kim and meet us at the bridge"
"Wait what do you mean!" Kim cried out as she was pushed into me.
"Go!" Simon screamed, pushed us forward, and shut the door. From the other side of the cabin we heard numerous gunshots. I wasn't going to wait around and neither was Kim. We tossed on the bags and she gripped her knife while I held my bat, I turned and looked at her and she nodded to me. We ran forward towards the bridge. She struggled a bit to keep up with me since I have longer legs so I slowed down a little. The moment she caught up she grabbed my free hand with hers and we ran till we ran out of breath. The frosty air chilling our breath every second. The snow cruched beneath our feet and I started to fall behind her. Kim tugged on my hand.
"Come on dunc." She panted out, we had been sprinting for a while now and I was exhausted. Our hands parted as I rested my hands on my knees to rest
"I can't *pant* here listen *pant* we can't hear the shots anymore"
"You're right, okay *pant* we can walk now" I stood up after I caught my breath and began to walk forward as i walked past kim she grabbed my hand again and i felt a smile creep onto my face. We walked closer and we came to an area where we could see the bridge. We we're too far from the bridge to get there tonight, plus its not a safe place to camp. It was starting to get dark too, if the zombies didn't get us the cold would. We would have to find shelter somewhere. Then down the hill I saw a shack like thing, it was small but we would have to make due.
~time skip~
We got to the shack and we heard noises inside.
"Alive or dead?" Kim asked in a whisper.
"Dead." I said definitively. This was our way of asking if it was people or zombies. I opened the door and hit my bat to the wall lightly making a little noise. The zombies came stumbling towards us, three of them. A man, a woman, and a child. Kim stabbed each in the head with the knife as I held the others back. A system we developed over time. We make some noise to lure them out, then I hold them back as she takes them down quietly, then we search the immediate area and the rest of the building. We did a quick sweep of the area as it began to snow. Then we got back to the shack and saw one last zombie stuck on a spike through its stomach that was poking out of the ground, it snarled at us and kim stuck it too. I pulled it off the spike and tossed it out the door. The door shut and I reinforced it with a small nightstand inside. There was an old mattress on the ground and a few cans of food, some peaches, corn, amd even a can of beans, score!
"Oh my God! Beans! Its been so long since we've even seen any of these!" Kim lit up
I'm stealing walking dead logic here, in that every one is infected so if you die, you turn, that's how the family died, but the two don't know that's how it happens, but don't really care.
"I don't think I want you eating those, bleh, I'm not sharing a bed with you gassy." I laughed
"Well too bad" she smiled at me. I had expected her to argue sleeping together, but I guess she doesn't mind, which only fed to my smile. I sat at the edge of the bed and tossed my bag next to me. Kim plopped onto the bed next to me, she was so close she was almost on my lap. She put her bag with mine and I grabbed the can of beans.
"Yay!" She said cheerfully. I chuckled slightly and opened it up, she grabbed a small silver spoon from her pack, somehow she had held onto it for this long. She took the can from me and opened it up. She got a spoon full and chomped down on it. She got another spoon full.
"Hey who said I didn't get any?!" I said.
"Who said this wasn't for you?" She smirked and brought the spoon to my lips. I smiled and opened my mouth as she fed me and giggled. She went to get another and she accidently cut her finger on the sharp edge of the lid.
"Ouch!" She said blowing on it.
"Here I'll help it" I took her hand and kissed her cut, she tensed up and blushed. I looked back to her and said,
"Alright now, lets get this actually fixed up before it becomes infected or something." I went to get up, but she kept her hand in mine and tugged me back to her.
"Actually, Duncan, I ugh, have another cut..." she said a little nervously.
"You do, where?" I asked concerned. And she brought her eyes to mine and pointed to her lips. Her blush deepened and I shuttered for a moment and I began to blush to.
"I'm sorry, that was stupid" she turned away in a hurry and let go of my hand. So I quickly placed my hand on her chin and turned her head back to me, and in a second kissed her. Her eyes bolted open on surprise then she relaxed and closed them. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer. My open arm rested on the matress at Kim's side to keep myself up. We ran out of breath and pulled away from each other, but she held me in place so my face was inches from her's.
"Kim" I whispered
"Yes Duncan?" She whispered back to me.
"Is this a thing? Are we...?" I trailed off
"Yes" she spoke almost inaudibly
"Good" I sighed before placing another quick kiss on her lips.
"Now, I was serious about getting a bandage on it, I won't have you dying on me." I got up and got her a bandage and put it on her cut.
"Thank you, Dunc." Kim said to me sweetly.
"You're welcome Kimmy." I said and kissed her cheek, the moment I did she giggled.
"What's so funny?"
"You're stuble tickles" she laughed a little more.
"Well too bad, there aren't many razors any more, and the knife only does so well, I mean look at your hair!" I teased her.
"Shut up, my hair is perfect!" She sat up confidently
"Well of course it is on you after all."
"Duncan~"
"Wait, shhh!" I sat up and looked at the door. Outside I heard faint footsteps. Kim must have heard them too because she also became alert. I got up carefully and grabbes the bat, on the wall next to us there was a boarded up window, but there was a crack you could see out of. So without making any noise I peeked out of the window while Kim's eyes were glued to me, she didn't dare move. Outside I saw someone walk close to the shack, yet avoid it. He was alone, unfortunately, because that meant sips was gone. The man outside the shack was our very own Sjin.

Ok so I decided this is as long as I'm going to make this one, I have more though, so two questions.
1. Do you want more?
2. Do you want this to be its own story, or just a few chapters?
