The Yogscast Walking

Chapter 16- First and Last

I swim out of the water, and Lewis follows me.

"Hannah, I'm sure that they're both okay. We've got to move on. We can't go back up there. If they see us again they'll definitely kill us." He says and I drain the water from my hair.

"Fine. But what do we do now? We failed at finding a group, and Martyn and Zoey are who knows where." I say and he sighs.

"We look for help. You're still weaker than you should be, and there's just two of us now. Then, we look for a cure." He says determinedly and I nod after thinking.

We walk through the woods, and our hands are clasped together, in case we need to run again.

"Lewis, why do we keep fighting? I mean, why fight these zombies and people. Why not just let what happens, happen. I got bloody shot, our best friends have died, and we've both nearly died. Why keep fighting." I say, my eyes filling with mixed emotions.

"Hannah, I know that this isn't easy. It's been at least half a year, it's getting colder by the day. But we keep fighting and going because we want to live. We want to survive this, and to get our lives back. I know that things have been taking a turn for the worse lately, but we've gotta keep pushing on." He says gently and smooths the hair on top of my head.

We find a huge tree with a large hollow in it, and we both climb inside.

I lay my bag down and lays my head against it, and Lewis does the same.

I cuddle up against him and he wraps his arms around me.

"Don't ever leave me, Hannah. I promise that we will make it through this." He whispers and I kiss him, not able to stop myself, and he kisses me back.

I close my eyes and wraps my hands around his neck, and he wrap his arms around my back.

We stop kissing and both of us blush, and I lay down, and tries to fall asleep, but I can't.

I look over at Lewis and sees that he's sleeping, and I sigh, pushing a hand through my blonde hair.

"Zoey, Martyn, were ever you to are, please, please stay alive. Me and Lewis will find you, and we will all be together again." I whisper, not loud enough to wake Lewis though.

I lay down and finally, sleep consumes me, and the returning nightmares begin.

{Zoey's p.o.v.}

Martyn grabs my hand and pulls me away from Lewis and Hannah, and my eyes reach the blondes for a moment before she disappears from my sight.

"Martyn, what do we do!" I say, as I look back and half of the men are after us.

"We'll make it through this, I promise." He says back and we get to a river and I dive in without a second thought.

"Zoey!" Martyn yells worriedly and dives in after me, and he swims to my side, and the men disappear from our sights.

"Oh man, oh man, Martyn! Lewis, and Hannah! They could be bloody well dead! What are we gonna do!" I say, panicking.

"Well first we got to get out of this river, and-" He says and a sudden roar starts to get louder.

"Oh no... Martyn! There's a waterfall!" I yell and we struggle to get out of the water, and we don't succeed.

We are swept over the edge of the waterfall and we both let out shrieks of terror.

We fall into the icy water below, and pain jets through me, and I resurface, and I see a branch stuck through my stomach.

I lay back and closes my eyes, blood
turning the water around me red.

"Zoey! Oh freaking 'el no!" Martyn screams as he sees me and he wades over to me, and picks me p bridal style, and carries me away from the water.

I look up at him, my saviour, through dulling eyes and sees that he's got scratches all over his face, and a cut on his arm.

"You should be more careful." I say weakly, brushing his cheek and he grabs my hand.

"Zoey, Zoey, don't leave me. Please, I need you. I love you. I know that you loved Rythian and Duncan back a while ago, but-" He says, tears streaming down his face, and I grab his shirt and pulls him down to me, and kisses him.

"I love you too..." I whisper, and darkness threatens to engulf me, but I fight it.

"Martyn, I need you to take my necklace. Give it to the next girl who you love as much as me, and find them. Find Lewis and Hannah. And don't forget about me." I say and he cries hard now.

"Goodbye, my Sapling King." I whisper and then l let the darkness have me.

{Martyn's p.o.v.}

I have no choice but to stab her through the head, and I grab her mushroom necklace, and cries, grasping it tightly.

When she called me"Sapling King", that's when I lost it, really. That was her little nickname for me, since I loved nature, especially trees.

"I promise, Zoey. I promise I'll do what you said." I whisper, closing her eyes and clutches the mushroom necklace and I stand, walking away, but I turn back and grabs to mushrooms, a red and white spotted one, and a brown one.

I lay them in her hands and crosses her hand on her chest.

"Goodbye my little mushroom queen." I say and walks off, her bag and my bag slung over my shoulders, holding her mushroom necklace in my right hand, and a knife in the left.

"I'll find you, Hannah and Lewis. And I'll keep Zoey alive." I think and runs, back the way we ran, but not going up to the top of the cliff.
---------------------------------------

Oh snap! I bet you had tears in your eyes for that!

I know that most people don't ship Martyn and Zoey together, but it kind of makes sense. He's a Sapling King, and she's a mushroom lover! Nature, people, nature.

At first I didn't plan to make Zoey and Martyn fall in love, but after Ryhian died, and I always kind of had the fantasy that Duncan would die, I felt like already the two had a deeper connection in the story besides just friends.
