Until We Die (COMPLETED)

Cry's pov
Something is wrong. Why would she shoot? She knows not to shoot unless completely nescassary so what happened? We only shoot when people are around or a herd so who is around? Why was there only one shot?

"Cry, calm down. There was only one shot so she must have removed the threat. She should be fine okay," Felix said. How did he know I was panicking?

I turned to him to see the fear on his own face. He didn't say those words just to calm me down. They were to reassure himself as well. I can't let myself panic because of this.

"I know. Let's just hurry so we can get back and see what's wrong," I said quietly. He nodded, some of his fear vanishing but some still evident on his face. I quickly turned away from him and ran to the canned isle. I needed to hurry. We needed to hurry.

I began stuffing as much as I could into my bag until it was almost full. I then peeked around the corner to make sure Felix wasn't around before running to the alcohol isle. I know I probably shouldn't be getting anything like this but I made a deal that I intend to keep. Along with my promise with Chey. Hopefully I wont have to keep that promise.

I only grabbed two bottles of wine before running back to where Felix was stuffing the last few packets of something, I wasn't quite sure what though, into his bag. He zipped it up and turned to me. We both then left the store and began running towards the front entrance. No point in staying quiet anymore.

I shot at the glass doors as we neared and they shattered across the ground. I leapt through the frame and continued running towards the spot Chey was meant to be at. I could hear Felix's footsteps behind me and the sound of the dead staggering towards us slowly. I didn't stop running though. I didn't even slow my pace as I sliced the head off one that stood in my way.

The whole time I ran I couldn't help but overthink what might have happened. I just couldn't stop the endless thoughts that streamed through my head. But they did make me run faster as the safety of my girlfriend caused a tightness in my chest. But that might be because I'm running so fast.

A fog began to settle over the town we were in and my range of sight began to shorten. I could only see a few feet in front of me now and it made it harder to spot any dead that approached. But I knew I was getting close to Chey.

"Cry!" I heard Felix shout as I was yanked back. I noticed the sudden figure that lay in front of me and gasped. The body was covered in blood, a gun laying on the ground near their hand. A bullet hole through their head. Their brown and blonde hair turned crimson from the damp moisture. Chey.

"Oh god," Felix whispered next to me. I felt his grip on my arm tighten and begin to shake. The sight looked way too similar to Marzia's death except, Chey didn't get shot by someone else. She shot herself.

I slowly knelt down beside her, Felix having to kneel down with me since he didn't let go of my arm, and took the gun from her hand. As I did I noticed the small bite mark on her wrist. She had been bitten by one of them.

I looked around to see three or four dead bodies on the ground. She must have got cought up in the fog and didn't see them coming. Where did this fog even come from? Is it getting close to winter? (Winter is coming XD) That would mean it is going to get harder to find supplies and stay warm. We'll need coats and blankets to stay warm but the dead will be slower. Thay don't seem to like the cold all too well.

"Was she...?" Felix asked in a shaky voice, unable to continue his sentence.

"She was bit. She didn't want to turn into one of them and took the easy road out," I replied as I stood up. Felix also stood up, still holding onto my arm, and looked away from Chey's lifeless body.

"We... we need to get to the truck. I-it's getting cold," He breathed out. I nodded, understanding how shaken he is. Marzia only died just over two weeks ago and now Chey is gone. The sight must have reminded him of Marzia's death.

He isn't good and holding himself like I am so I'm just going to step up. I know it was my girlfriend that just died but I can't let it hold me back. She would have died whether she killed herself or not. My promise would have meant she'd end up dead either way. There was no avoiding this.

The truck came into view and I quickly helped Felix into the passenger seat. I jumped into the drivers seat but just sat there for a moment, taking everything in. I looked over at Felix who seemed to have managed to collect himself and returned to a calm state. His eyes held so much emotion though. They showed all his fears and worries, all his joys and love.

I loved looking at his eyes when things go wrong. Their light blue depths seem to bring a calmness over me and make all my worries vanish for a while. I always found myself looking into them, sometimes even when nothing was wrong. They just made this world seem not as bad as it really is. But how?

How did two small orbs of blue emotion make me feel so much better? And why is it Felix's eyes that do it? Is it just because they are blue or is it something else? Chey's eyes never made me calm. They were just normal brown eyes. I never really had any other though besides that about them. So what's up with Felix's eyes?

You be in a trance. A trance of le blue eyed Swede. Hehe
