Survival of the fittest (A One Direction,TWD, and TVD zombie apocalypse story)

Crazed

Hey guys! So sorry for the long wait! I know I haven't updated in forever, I've been swarmed with school work, but I'll be updating a lot more now cause next week is my last week of school so yay summer! In this chapter, one of the 1D boys will be a little off and we hear Tom's backstory! Also, happy late birthday Raena! Anyway, without further a due......

Previously in Survival of the Fittest:

Louis' POV:

Before he can say anything else, I pull out my revolver and shoot John right in the heart. Liam rushes to help Tom up. I go and get El up and hold her close. Harry and Niall lift up Zayn and put him over Harry's shoulder. I look to see Tom pick up a fallen gun from the waistband of one of the filthy men that hasn't died yet. He points it towards the mans forehead who curses at Tom. "For Zara." Tom whispers. Then he says, "Yippie-ki-yay motherfucker." He pulls the trigger, BANG!

Harry's POV:

It seems as if we've been walking for ages when in reality, we've only been walking for twenty minutes. I'm exhausted from carrying Zayn. Liam walks behind me, constantly checking Zayn's heart rate which is slower than normal. He's still losing blood, I can feel a stain from it on my shoulder. We have to keep going since the bus is probably swarmed with walkers now from our fight with John and his gang. Atleast we still have all of our weapons.

I look behind me and see Niall with his arm around Tom's shoulders, talking quietly together. Tom's limping from his knife wound. We tied a piece of cloth around his thigh to stop the bleeding, but he's still in some pain and looks very skinny. Louis' in front walking with Eleanor. Ever since he killed John, he hasn't been acting like the same Louis. He hasn't uttered a word and immediately becomes over protective if we get too close to Eleanor. Poor Eleanor tries to move away from Louis to see how we all are, but Louis always grabs her by the wrist to keep her close.

Liam finally offers to take Zayn off my shoulder. I mentally thank him and gently put Zayn in Liam's arms. I look at his face and see that Zayn looks very pale. He needs help and fast, but none of us know how to deal with a bullet. All I know is that it should be removed, but I don't feel very comfortable using my knife, who knows how much more damage that could cause. A couple more minutes pass until Niall speaks up, "Hey lads, can we stop a minute?" We all stop and sit down except for Louis who is still holding Eleanor by her wrist. He shakes his head and continues walking, pulling Eleanor along with him.

"Louis, let go!" Eleanor says annoyed. Louis ignores her. "Lou! Come on stop, we need to rest!" I say. "No. Those things won't stop. We need to find somewhere to hide." Louis finally says. "I get that Louis, but we really need a moment or two." I reply. "Yeah Louis come on my feet hurt." Eleanor agrees. "You can rest after we find somewhere to stay." Louis says emotionless. "Louis, let go of me!" Eleanor says anger evident in her tone. Louis ignores her and continues. "Louis, lad let her go." Liam says. He continues walking. Eleanor starts struggling in, trying to pry his fingers off her delicate wrist which I'm certain has bruises on it now.

"Louis please let go, you're hurting me!" Eleanor pleads. Louis' face softens for a moment. I take that opportunity to run up to them and try to move Louis away from Eleanor. Louis eyes seem darker in fury and he pushes me into hard into a tree hard. I grunt in pain clutching my back. "LOUIS WILLIAM TOMLINSON WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Eleanor screams wrenching her arm from his grip and helping me up. I look at her wrist and see that I was right, there are purple bruises from his grip. Louis looks shocked.

"I-I'm oh my god Harry I'm so sorry! I don't know what's gotten into me!" He stutters. His eyes flash to El's wrists and widen even more. "El, Eleanor I'm so sorry!" "Who are you?!" Eleanor asks tearfully. Louis raises his hands in surrender, shaking and starts backing away from us. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He whispers repeatedly. "Louis, mate it's alright just calm down." Niall says standing up. Tom stays silently watching us, knowing that he has no place in this conversation. "I hurt Harry, I hurt Eleanor, I let Zayn get shot, I KILLED SOMEONE! OH MY GOD I SHOT HIM!" Louis screams, pulling his hair, his eyes crazed. "L-Louis, i-it's okay, j-just quiet down." Eleanor stutters fearfully. "NO! I hurt you! I hurt the people I love. I killed someone!" "Louis it's okay! If you didn't, John would have killed us all! You saved us Lou!" I tell him. "No. No!" he disagrees. "It's true," Tom says standing up, putting his weight on his uninjured leg, "If it weren't for you, I would still be abused by them, your friends would have been dead, and your girlfriend would have been raped and kept as their amusement. I know because I've seen it happen!" Tom says. "What? W-what do you mean?" Louis asks a bit calmer now. All of us looking at Tom.

Tom sighs and leans against a tree, holding it for support. His eyes tear up and it looks as if he's carrying the weight of the sky on his shoulders. "The day all of this went down, I was shooting for a special appearance as Loki in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, hence the Loki costume and hair." He begins. "My little cousin, Zara who is 17, visited me that day. When the outbreak started and the walkers came, I knew it was my duty to protect her. It seemed as if it were all a blur. I was taunting Thor aka Chris Hemsworth when the next thing I know, a walker wanders in and takes a bite out of one the makeup assistants. Everyone panicked. I couldn't see my fellow co-stars anywhere, so I took Zara and we ran into my car and started driving.

We drove and drove right up until we ran out of gas. We both started running and we ran straight into a couple of walkers. We had absolutely no supplies or weapons. I thought we were both going to die, until the walker in front of us fell to the ground with a gunshot to the head. It was John and his men. We were extremely grateful and they took us under their wings. I remembered them eyeing up Zara a little, but chose to ignore it. Stupid! Absolutely stupid! I would often go on supply runs with a few of them while I made Zara stay with the rest of them so be safe. I was so stupid! I should never had left her with them. I should have known something was going on! Everytime I would come back, Zara would have bruises and barely spoke, but I John convinced me it was because she was clumsy and that the outbreak changed people, so I brushed it off.

Then one day, I accidently got lost during one of the supply runs. I couldn't find John, his men, or Zara anywhere. A few hours later, I heard men's laughter nearby. I got closer and hid behind a tree watching. I was horrified at what I say. It was Zara, on the floor as she got ravaged by John and his men who were laughing as they did it again, and again, and again. My body filled with anger. (Loki style) I ran at them throwing John off her. I told Zara to run and she took off as I tried to fight off John and his men, but alas I was outnumbered. They took me down easily. John and two others went after Zara. A gunshot was heard,

I prayed it wasnt Zara, but I was proved wrong as John and the other two came back unharmed. I sobbed uncontrollably, I didn't even realize that John and his men continued to beat me until I was unconcious. When I woke up, I had chains around my wrists to my legs. They dragged me and gave me their leftover food and beat me for entertainment. That was until you came and saved me Louis. YOU are the reason that I am safe, though I wish Zara were here so I could be forgiven, but I will survive this world for her. If it weren't for you, Zara's death would have been in vain. You did take a life Louis, but you also saved mine and Eleanor's too. You're a hero." Tom finishes.

Everyone is silent. I feel so terrible for Tom, to witness all of that and still keep on going. He's very strong. I look back at Louis who's looking at the ground. He finally looks up at all of us, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. "I'm sorry." He says. He pushes me into Eleanor making us both fall down and takes off sprinting very fast into the woods. "Louis!" We all yell. Liam takes off after him. "Stay together!" He calls off running. Niall helps me and Eleanor up. We watch and wait for our friends to come back. That is up until we start to hear moaning and twigs snapping from a distance behind us. "Shit."
