Nick and Luke were separated and he couldn't see him.

“Luke? Are you alright?” Nick asked

“Nick, I'm fine...fuck…” Luke said

Nick knew he wasn't alright.

“Are you sure that you are okay?” he asked him again

“I'm okay, I just hurt my shoulder. That wood scraped my shoulder and it's bleeding.”

“Luke, there no way around this. You go back to the others and have Carlos look at you. I'm gonna have to find another way.” Nick said

“But, Nick…” Luke was starting to say

“Luke, just go...I'II find you guys or I will just head to the ski lodge and meet you and the others there.” he said

Luke signed “Ok...just be careful…”

“I will...I promise…”

After that, Luke left to head back to the others.

Nick started walking in a different way.

-----------------------------------------------------

It was still a little cold out.

Nick has been walking for hours.

Something was behind him, it was a lurker that was about to grab him.

But, a knife went through its head before it grabbed him. It fell to the ground. A guy saved him.

“You gotta be more careful or you'll be eaten.” The guy said

Nick nods his head “Thanks for saving me from that lurker.” he said

“No problem, is that what you call them lurkers? I call them walkers.”

“I call them lurkers but, some of my friends call them walkers too.” Nick explained

The guy nods his head and he looks like he was about to laugh.

This guy had black hair with dark green grey-ish eyes and white skin. He was a little bit shorter than Nick and looked to be his age.

He is wearing a black tank top with a light gray, unzipped jacket and dark gray Jeans with black timb boots. He also has a silver cross necklace around his neck.

“I’m Noah.” he said

“Name's Nick.”

“Well, nice to meet you, Nick. Why are you out here alone?” he asked

“I got separated from my friends and I am trying to get back to them.” Nick said

“I can help you if you want. I'm all alone and I don't mind company.” Noah said

“Ok, let's go.”

Nick starts walking, Noah nods his head and started walking too.

-----------------------------------------------------

They were walking in the woods.

“How old are you?” Nick asked

“24.” Noah said

“Me too.” he said with a smile.

Noah started smiling too. He stopped and was looking at something.

“What is it?” he asked him

“There's a house up ahead. We can stay there for tonight, it's going to be dark out.” Noah said

Nick nods his head as they walked over to the abandoned house, they went inside it.

-----------------------------------------------------

Noah was putting wood in the fireplace.

Nick was walking around, he didn't see any lurkers in here.

He went back towards Noah, he made a fire and it was warm in the room.

Noah was sitting on the ground by the fire.

“At least it's warm in here now.” Nick said

“Yep, it doesn't require rocket science to make a fire.” Noah said

Nick couldn't help it, he started laughing, Noah was smiling again.

Nick walked over and sat down on the ground.

He looked at Noah's necklace.

“Pretty necklace, where did you get it?” Nick asked

Noah smiled “My mother gave it to me, the necklace was her's.”

“Where is your mother? If you don't mind me asking.”

Noah got a sad look on his face and he looked like he was going to cry.

“She died…” he said

“Oh, I'm sorry. I lost my mom too.” Nick said with a sad look on his face too.

“How long?” Noah asked

“It's been a few months.”

“It's been a year for me...and I still can't forget her…she was attacked by a walker and got bitten. She gave me her necklace and kill herself.” he said with tears in his eyes.

“My mom was attacked by one of them too, she got bitten and I had to shoot her. I didn't want her to turn.” Nick said

“Sorry, I just feel that I can open up about things to you.”

Nick nods his head in understanding.

“It's fine.” he said

It was silent in the room for a few seconds.

Noah had his head down.

“Have you been alone all this time?” Nick asked

Noah slowly nods his head.

Nick got closer to him and was sitting next to him.

It was quiet in the room now as they sat in silence.
