Contagious: An H2oVanoss Story

Chapter Three

~Vanoss' POV~

We found ourselves wandering back down the road, heading to my house. It was fairly quiet other than Tyler ambling a few feet ahead and the dim sounds of groans that emerged from the lifeless bodies that roamed.

I gazed down at my feet, when suddenly Tyler came to a halt causing me to crash into him.

"S-sorry" I backed up, as a blush crept onto my cheek.

"You're fine, we're here." He strayed forward onto the driveway and up the steps.

I stood still in the center of the road as if a statue, looking at my surroundings dumbfounded. Hoping to see movement, individuals, or those who had survived and were struggling. Allegedly, we appeared to be the only ones in the area that we even considered walking around this place.

"Yo, you coming?" I overheard Tyler holler from the porch.

"Yeah" I slowly made my up the steps, and walked through the door that he had opened for me.

"Thanks" I mumbled and proceeded towards the stairs.

"Do you want lunch?" Tyler asked, advancing to the kitchen.

"Yeah I guess" I follow behind and watch him through the door frame. As he raids the cupboards, he reaches up to a high shelf. While doing so, his shirt rides up slightly. Apparently, he was sporting a six pack, to go along with his rather muscular arms.

"Damn dude, you have no food" he remarked as I quickly looked away before he could catch me examining him.

"Well, I just moved here. I haven't gone shopping yet." I reply, looking back at him. Removing my bag from my back, I open it, grabbing cans of food and placing them onto the table.

"Take whatever you want." as I grabbed myself a can of peaches. In one of the kitchen drawers I grasp a fork and sit at the table beginning to graze on a peach slice. Tyler then plopped in the seat across from me and started eating a can of pears. 

"Where's your friend?" I questioned with a mouthful of food.

"I dunno probably sleeping or something." He replied, poking at his food. I stared at his figure more, he was tall and slender with a strong build. His eyes were cyan-like and had hair practically the color of chocolate brown. He was pretty fit by the looks of it and most likely got all the girls, or guys if he swings that way.

"What you lookin' at?" He raised an eyebrow at me. I dashed my head to the side. My face heating up in the process.

"Nothing s-sorry." I stand up and dispose of my can that was completely empty. A light chuckle behind me, causes my face to stay heated.

"Sureeee, but we have time for another couple houses to loot. Want to go?" He stood up and tossed the can, making it drop into the basket.

"Let's go"

~~~~~~~~~

We stepped back into the house and were greeted by Lui lounging on the couch reading a book.

"Hey Tyler." He greeted, looking up then returned to his book.

"Imheretoo" I muttered under my breath, making sure no one heard.

Tyler strolled over to the couch and tossed his backpack onto the floor. I imitated his actions and did the same. Dumping everything out, we checked our supplies. We probably salvaged enough food to last about a week along with some batteries and a couple flash lights. We also managed to find a first aid kit. Over all, I think we did pretty good. Except I think we need to figure out our game plan on what we're going to do from this point on.

"Alrighty, who wants dinner?" Tyler perks up, placing everything back into the backpacks. In total we got three full bags and one that was a little under halfway full.

"Me!" Lui jumps up and darted into the kitchen, allowing us to hear a loud slam that emitted from the kitchen as he walked out with a pout upon his face.

"I forgot there was no food there." He admitted with a little kids voice, causing me to chuckle.

"Here, food's in these." Tyler hands Lui two of the four backpacks. Lui rips them open and grabs the first can; chicken noodle soup. He grabs a spoon and starts to devour it.

"I didn't... eat... all day..." He says through each mouth full. Tyler grabs a can for himself and eat too, but slower. I grabbed a can as well and ended up with soup too. Having to eat it cold, I only ate half, and the other I had pushed away.

"Not hungry?" Wildcat asks, eating at his own can.

"Not really." I replied, scooting my chair out.

"I'll take it." Lui comments, eyeballing it.

"Go ahead. I say we board up the house, prevent anything from getting in." I perked up out of my seat,"I have wood in the garage."

"Fine by me" Tyler shares and Lui nods. I trot out and step into the garage, grabbing the wood planks leaning against the wall. I walk back inside and place them on the living room floor, grabbing a hammer and nails. As I set up the planks, midway, Tyler joins and helps.

"I think we should set shifts, watching the night and making sure everything's okay." Tyler said out of the blue.

"Okay" I respond,"I'll take first watch I guess."

"That's fine, Lui will take second and I'll take last." He added, as we finished up boarding everything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was around 10 and they headed off to bed, while I stayed up and watched out the boarded window. There was a slight crack just enough to see but small enough to make it safe. After a couple minutes, I took a glance out the window to see movement about couple houses down. I take a better stance and look again, seeing nothing. It was probably just my imagination or a zombie.

About an hour later of absolutely nothing, a couple zombies here and there but still nothing. Lui came down from upstairs as we swapped places.

I make my way upstairs and to my room. I decided not to change out of my clothes and go straight to sleep, needing the rest. I slip away into a dreamless sleep.....

Only to be woken up by a scream.
