Your pov

It was the second day I was traveling with
Fred. Not many rests or pit stops for me to regain my energy during the day. As the sun set, I reminded Fred that I needed to sleep.

He simply said fine and sat down at the base of a tree. I climbed the very same tree when the branch I was pulling myself up onto started to break.

"Shit." I whispered to myself, thinking about the small drop to the ground.

I was able to pull myself up onto another branch just in time when the other one broke.

"Goodnight Fred." I called to him as I made myself more comfortable.

I could hear the wailing of many zs nearby, looking for someone or something to eat.

"Goodnight 10K." I whispered. Hoping the slight wind would cary my words to him.

I could of sworn I heard him say goodnight back to Me, but it could of been the wind playing tricks in my ears. I soon started to doze off, letting the exhaustion take Me.

It was a dreamless sleep. One of the little joys in life that I rarely got to have. But I soon woke up to someone calling my name.

I looked to the sky to see the moon starting to fall.

"Fred?!" I called down to him.

Fred just grunted and started to play with a twig.

I looked all around the trees and ground. But soon landed my eyed on 10K in the trees a few meters away from me.

"Oh that boy." My blood started to boil.

I climbed down the tree I was In and climbed up the tree that 10K was sleeping in. By the time I reached the branch next to 10K's, my legs were killing me.

"Y-Y/N..." he turned his head side to side. As if he was having a bad dream.

Suddenly he sits up and looks to the starry night.

" You Okay?" I asked.

"Yeah. Just a weird drea-.." he stopped short of his sentence and looked at the tree branch beside him to see me sitting there, looking into the sky.

"I heard you call out for me. So I'm here now." I tried to keep myself from smiling. "Why are you following me?" I demanded.

"I-- I. Umm." He stuttered.

"Im waiting." I could feel the blood in my veins start to boil as he was trying to figure out what to say.

"Umm. Well. You see." He took a big breath. "I was following you... because.." he stopped.

"10k. Tell me. Now."

"Because I was worried about you. And I don't want you following a z!" 10k blurted out.

"He has a name. Fred. And you don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself." I spat, climbing down the tree and walking to Fred.

"Y/N! Wait!" He called, slowly making his way down the tree.

"Fred. Get up. Time to go." I kicked his feet, earning a grunt in annoyance.

//fiiiine. Thiiiiiis wayyyy//

Fred got up and started walking south once more. I followed.

"Come on Y/N!" 10K called after me. "Please."

I kept walking.

"I-ill tell them about your eye!" He yelled.

I stopped in my tracks. My fists clenched into balls at his statement.
