I woke up and Patch was gone.
My head snapped up and my eyes met Ethan, who was sitting at my feet.
"Good morning honey." He chirped.
"Uh, what?!" Why did he call me honey?!
He contined staring at me... Creepy...
"Uh, where is Patch?" I asked.
"We went out to find breakfast an hour ago." He nodded into the forest.
"Where is everyone else?" I looked around and everyone's sleeping bag was empty.
"Errands."
"What?"
"Everyone has an errand, you had one, and I did it for you." He smiled.
"What was my errand?"
"Cooking."
"Uh..." I knew how to cook alittle bit....
"Look over there." Ethan pointed to a well-made fire and I saw a bubbling pot of stew roasting over it.
"You know how to cook?" I asked inhaling the sweet aroma of the stew.
"It's a hobby."
Then I herd footsteps.
I jumped out and took out my sword.
"Easy girl!" Ethan said trying to lower my sword.
"I hear footsteps!" I yelled and listened to them carefully.
"That's probably Jess with the firewood."
"Oh..."
I lowered my sword and ran twords him.
"Good morning Ivy!" He chirped as he saw me.
I hugged him.
"Is everything ok?" I asked him.
He nodded and smiled.
"AHHHHHHH!" I herd someone scream far away.
"JESS ON MY BACK NOW!" I yelled and he hopped on my back.
I ran to the noise and saw Hannah crying on a dead tree log, bloody.
"What happened?!" I yelled breathlessly.
"T-t-tyson!"
I ran twords the stream.
"Ivy?" I herd him whisper.
"Where are you?!"
"Over here..."
He was laying by the bank, his stomach shredded, and his limbs chewed.
"Oh my god!" Jess yelled. I forgot he was on my back.
"Jess go back to Hannah." He nodded and ran to her.
"Kill me please...." He moaned.
"I..."
"Please! I don't want to become one of them!"
My eyes burned.
Must I kill him?
Should Hannah?
Should Patch?
"Who do you want it to be?"
"You..."
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Do you want Hannah to say something?"
"No no no no no no... She can't see me like this!"
"Ok..." I sighed.
"Thank you."
"Uh..any last words?"
"I...." His eyes closed slowly.
"Tyson?! TYSON?!" It was no use, tyson was gone.
I slid my sword into his head and folded his hands.
I walked over to Hannah who
Was sobbing into Jess who was Also crying.
I hugged them and started crying too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The three of us walked back to the camp and everyone else was there.
"Where is Tyson?!" Jev asked worried.
Hannah started crying and Jev sighed.
"Damn." Lilly popped up and hugged Hannah.
"Yo!" Patch said and hugged me from the side.
"You seem chill." I said surprised.
"Well, Ijust had afeww beeeersssss."
I laughed.
He is sooooo drunk!
"JEV!" I yelled and he ran over.
"I think Patch had acouple beers."
"GOD DAMNIT PATCH I WAS SAVEN THOSE PATCH!" Jev yelled.
"OOOOH ok......" Patch said dazed.
I laughed and Patch joined me.
"Nah I'm not drunk, just acting like Jev when he is!" Patch said proudly. Jev rolled his eyes and lily burst into laughter.
Hannah stood frozen and then suddenly went into a tent.
"I'll go get her." Lily said and shook her head.
"I'll go too!" Said Patch. He always put a smile on peoples faces so easily.
"Heyy Ivyyyy!!" I herd a voice chirp.
Goddammit Ethan.
I turned around and saw Ethan and two of his men.
"Ya?" I said dully.
"Wanna go hit up some walkers? We need to talk." One of his men handed him a sharp knife.
"Sure I could use some practice, Patch could teach-"
"Patch?" He cut me off
"Yeah, my boyfriend."
"Pssf your MINE!" He said playfully.
"Let's go! I wanna kill somethin!" I said WAYYYY to eagerly.
The men Laughed and Ethan smirked.
Then we took off into the forest."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A we where walking twords some walkers I felt Ethan's hand slip into mine.
I edged away from him and I herd him sigh.
"Why don't you like me..." I herd him mumble.
I didn't know how to respond.
Then I felt his arms around me.
"Ethan I-"
"Just let it happen Ivy." He cut
Me off.
His hands rubbed on my sides and I walked farther from him, but he followed.
"What the hell do you think your doing?!" A voice said. Patch.
Ethan froze.
I turned around and felt Patch hug me and kiss me lightly.
*crunch* *crunch* *crunch*
Went Ethan's footsteps as he backed away from Patch.
"Your gonna regret that you touched Ivy that way." I herd Patch growl.
"Uh.. Bro... Just take it easy!" Ethan stampered.
Patchs knuckles popped and his
fist swung.
*CRACK!*
Ethan was down.
The men looked at eachother and ran.
Wimps.
Patch started laughing and then hugged me tightly.
"You mine, never forget that." He said and kissed me gently.
"I wouldn't dream of it." I said and loosed him back.
His hands wrapped around me and I smiled.
"Uhmmmmahahahmeee!" We both herd Ethan mumble.
"Comon lets get him back to the group." I said and Patch rolled his eyes.
"What?" I asked.
"Let him stay here, he's gonna be pissed when he wakes up.
I laughed and Patch kissed me again.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Back at the camp everyone was sorting out tents.
"Welcome back Patch and Ivy, where is Ethan?" Said Lily.
We both looked at each other and laughed.
"I took care of him." Patch said and Frank glared at him.
"Where is he?" Frank boomed.
Patch stopped laughing and noticed this case component.
Frank was twice his size and looked tough.
Patch dropped his head.
"In the woods." He mumbled.
Frank grunted and left for Ethan.
"Ok so, Hannah has her own tent, Jev and I have a tent, Frank and Ethan can share.
Th other men can split tents.
I felt Patch bump me from the side.
"We gotta room." He whispered in my ear.
I smiled and held his hand.
"Let's go check it out!" He said and dragged me into the tent.
The tent had one bed, a box full of clothes, and a bucket of water.
Patch hopped on the bed while I looked in the box.
Everything was packed into the tiny tent.
"Ivyyyyyyyy! Come join meeeeeeee!" Patch whined.
I hopped on the bed and Patch hugged me and didn't let go.
I laughed and then the doors of the tent pulled back.
It was Ethan.
God Dammit Ethan.
He looked hurt.
"I just wanted to say I was sorry.." He said quietly.
I nodded and felt Patch tense.
"She's mine." He growled and Ethan backed away, closing the doors.
"So I'm yours?" I teased.
"Forever." He whispered in my ear.
