🖤Even when the world is ending🖤(Crankiplier)

Hapter twenty-eight

The fire cracked and wind rustled the trees causing a cold to settle on my skin, we decided to set up camp in an old park for the night

I sat leaned up against a tree hugging my legs and Mark sat on the other side of the fire playing around with a knife

It was silent other than the occasional owl hooting somewhere in the distance or the occasional squeal that caused my hairs to stand on end

"You know you can sleep right?"

Mark spoke breaking the silence, a warm smile laid on his face, the way the fire flickered against his eyes made them look like they glowed

"What If infected come?"

He shook his head

"Don't worry, I'll take care of them I know you didn't get much sleep last night"

He was right, I was exhausted but I was worried
What if infected do come and he can't fight them on his own?
I was pulled out of thought when I felt Mark sit down next to me, he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into himself, I accepted the situation and laid my head down in his lap

He ran his fingers through my hair and I smiled at the feeling snuggling into him, not even a few seconds later I felt myself drift off into sleep

The comforting feeling of Mark's hand running through my hair guided me into a deep sleep

-                                      -

The sounds of birds chirping woke me up, my eyes fluttered open and i felt an arm wrapped around me
I rolled over so i was facing the sky and saw Mark who looked down at me

"Why good morning, it's about time you woke up"

He teased, I jokingly punched him in the chest and sat up stretching with a yawn

"Yeah whatever" I mumbled out, standing up and looking around

I could see few infected walking through the woods but they didn't seem to notice us, the sun shown through the trees and birds flew overhead

"You ready to go?"

Mark question from behind me, I nodded my head and gathered my stuff, we heading into the woods avoiding as many infected as we could and killing the few that got in our way

We found another town and began to search through it, we were in some sort of GameStop when we heard the sound of an engine and people talking

We both got down behind the widow and I peeked up, one of those trucks we saw before sat out between some other building and Scales flooded out of it, i crouched back down and Mark looked at me expectantly

"Scales, I have a plan..and your gonna call me crazy but, if we sneak around them and get into the back of the truck and hide under that tarp they could take us exactly where we need to go"

Mark shook his head and furrowed his eyebrows

"Are you crazy? That insane" he whisper shouted at me

"It could work! And we could get to where we need to go" I tried to talk him into it, but he seemed unconvinced still

"What if instead we lure one of them out of the group and question them"

He suggested, I thought about it and I knew that was a better idea so I reluctantly agreed

I made my way out the back door and gathered some bottles to throw, I waited a second before throwing the bottle towards the side of the GameStop
