Dead Life (10K Fanfic)

Chapter One

-H.B's POV

I tried my best to continue to run, I was shot in the leg and I pushed myself to go. Charlie, my little sister, ran ahead of me. "C'mon Camdon!" She yelled back at me, I tried to continue, I fell to my knees.
  "Just go... get help... hurry..." She ran off and I fell all the way to the ground. I crawled away from the Z's, gripping my leg as blood from a bullet seeped out. I grabbed my handgun and shot but due to the blood lost, my ears rang. I yelled and it stung my ears. I gripped the sides of my head and closed my eyes tightly. My eyes wouldn't open, I tried to push myself but it hurt.

-10K's POV

We were driving down the road, as we were inching to a dead end, a young girl ran in front of us. The truck jolted to a stop and Warren along with Garnett ran out to the girl. "Kid, what are you doing?" Garnett asked.
  "I need help. My older sister is hurt, come and help please!" She pleaded, they shared glances.
  "Doc, 10K and Addy, go with her. Take a radio and call for back-up if needed." Warren ordered, I jumped out of the back and the child ran off. Me, Doc and Addy ran after her, after passing some buildings, we saw a girl lying on the road with blood on her leg.
  "What happened?" Addy asked.
  "She was shot in the leg." The child ran next to her and started to shake her. "H.B? H.B please wake up!" She pleaded, Doc went over there and started to work on her leg.
  "What's your name?" Addy asked, comforting the girl.
  "Charlie, and that's H.B." She started to tear up, oh no, she thinks she'll lose her big sister. I looked at her sister and took in her features. She was pretty cute.
  "I'm Addy, that's Doc and-- 10K stop staring at her!" I shot out of my stare, Charlie grabbed a machete from her sisters belt. She slung it and pointed the tip under my chin.
  "My sister is not yours. She doesn't need a boyfriend." She growled.
  "I-I um, well..." She scoffed and swung the blade away, I let out a shaky breath.
  "Um kid, how old are you two?" Doc asked.
  "I'm 11, H.B is 17." 17 eh... She has sorta an accent.
  "Where are you from?" Addy asked.
  "Were from Ireland, we moved after our parents were killed by a mass murder. She promised to protect me with her life, she took a bullet for me." I almost felt myself tear up, I turned around.
  "I'm gonna take watch." I said, I armed my sniper rifle and shot some Z's around us.
  "Charlie, are there any places we can stay?" Doc asked, she nodded. "Kid, can you carry her?" I looked at him and Charlie sent me a death glare.
  "S-sure." I picked up H.B bridal style and carried her the way she led us.

We got to the building and Addy went with Doc to go get the rest of the group. I laid H.B on the couch and Charlie stayed by her side. I got an income call from Doc telling me what to do. I walked into the living room of the hotel room and Charlie was shaking her. "Please wake up..." She whispered, I walked over there.
  "Um, I have some orders to do so... If you won't kill me." She moved away and I got my bag and looked through it. I grabbed some cream and went to put it on her wound but I couldn't. "Crap."
  "What?" Charlie snapped.
  "I can't get to the wound, unless I get rid of the jeans." She stormed to me. "Trust me I don't want to!" I said, she huffed.
  "Do what you need to do." She turned and walked away, I slowly undid her jeans and slipped them down. I put the cream over her wound and put her jeans back on. I couldn't help but stare at her legs, I heard a groan which made me look up. The girl slowly opened her eyes and I smiled at her. She instantly pinned me down to the ground, I held wide eyes. "H.B! No!" She looked up as Charlie rushed in, she got off me and I rubbed my arms.
  "Sorry, it's just that... how did I get here?" She was straddling my waist, I propped up on my elbows.
  "I got help, 10K helped you and so did others. They'll be back." She looked down at me, staring into my eyes.
  "Thanks." She stayed in place, still straddling my waist, I was kinda wide eyed.
  "N-no p-problem." I stuttered, she saw why and got off of me while handing her hand out. I grabbed it and she helped me up. "Thanks." I muttered, she smiled at me and went over to Charlie.
  "Come here Love." Charlie rushed to her and hugged her legs, she leaned over and hugged her. They pulled away and turned to me. "And you..." She walked over to me and pecked my cheek. "Thank you. Very much." I blushed and rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly.
  "It's no problem." I said lowly, I saw Charlie give me a cocky look as to say 'You like her don't you...'. I looked down and H.B walked away, the door opened. I looked up to see that the group was here. "She's good and awake now." I said, they nodded and we introduced ourselves to them. We split up to different hotel rooms, Charlie went with Addy because she was going big sister. I stayed with H.B because Doc wanted me to so if she needed help around, I was there.
  "Ah!" I shot up from the couch and ran into the little kitchen, I saw H.B lying on the ground, possibly fell.
  "Here, I got ya." I kneeled next to her and wrapped her arm around my shoulders. I helped her up and wrapped my arm around her waist. "Where do you want to go?" I asked.
  "Couch, and can you sleep next to me tonight? Incase I need to do something." My breath hitched, r-really, wow.
  "Um, sure. It'll be crowded but, if you want..." She shrugged so I walked into the living room, I laid her on the couch and stood. "You sure?" She nodded so I laid next to her. She wrapped her arms around me and buried her face in my chest. I froze, wow, this was happening. I was smiling to myself as I draped one arm around her. I buried my face in her hair and I heard her giggle. "Goodnight." I whispered.
"Goodnight, Love." I smiled even more, her arms tightened around me and closed the space between us. This might be good having them here...
