Twdg Fanfiction - A New Hope

Chapter 31 - Meeting Seth

“S-stay away from me!” The guy said as he got out a pistol and aimed it at one of them.

The gun clicked, he dropped the gun and started backing away from them.

“Help me! Craw!” The guy said

But, Craw jumped off the roof and ran away, into the woods.

His eyes widened as he looked at the lurkers again.

“G-get away from me...leave me alone…” he said in a helpless, sad voice.

The guy had tears in his eyes.

[ Help Him ]

[ Leave Him ]

He has to help him. He couldn't just leave him to die.

Nick's grip tighten on the axe as he ran towards the lurkers.

One of the lurkers was about to grab the guy but, Nick killed it.

The guy looked up with wide eyes but, he also looked grateful too.

Nick killed a lurker that was behind him.

Then, he grabbed the guy's arm and ran off.

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

They stopped after they were away from the lurkers. They were both panting.

“T-thanks...I owe you one.” The guy said

“I'm glad that you're okay.” Nick said

“But, why? I'm a stranger to you.”

Nick looked at him “So what if you're a stranger. I couldn't just let you die. I'm not that type of person.” he said

Not anymore...anyway… he thought, remembering when he killed Matthew long time ago. He was just glad that Matthew was alive this time around.

Nick snapped out of his thoughts.

The guy just smiled at him.

“I'm Nick, you?” he asked

“I'm Seth.”

Nick smiles and starts walking.

“You can stay with me if you want.” Nick said

“Ok.” Seth said as he followed Nick.

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

“Well, might as well play 20 questions while we're walking. We can get to know each other better.” Seth said

Nick nods his head “Sure.”

“How old are you?”

“24.” Nick said

“Cool, I'm 18 and Craw is 19. I'm just assuming that you saw him too.”

“I did.” he said

Seth nods his head “Favorite color?” he asked

“Really?”

Seth just smiled again.

Nick sighed but, he was smiling “Blue.”

“My favorite is red.” Seth said as he smiles more.

Nick smiled back at him.

“How long have you known Craw?” Nick asked him

“I've known him since high school, it's been probably five years now. One thing, that you should know about Craw is that he doesn't trust people easily.”

Nick slowly nods his head. “Why did he leave you behind?” he asked

“I-I don't know…” Seth said

-A few minutes later -

Seth was quiet the rest of the way.

They were finally at the ski lodge.

Nick smiled “We're here.”

Seth looked up and smiles a little bit.

Nick saw Noah come out of the ski lodge.

“There you are, Nick. I was starting to get worried...who is this?” Noah asked

“He's a friend, Noah.” Nick said

“Name's Seth.”

“I'm Noah as you already heard.” Noah said

Seth nods his head.

Nick looks at Seth “You should know that we have more friends that I was separated from. They will be here in about one or two days. If you don't like to be around big groups, you can leave if you want.” he explained

“That's fine, I like meeting new people. I will stay.” Seth said

Nick nods his head and smiles.

They all go inside.

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

“Fuck…” Nick said

“What's wrong?” Noah asked

“I saved Seth but, I dropped the firewood and then, we ran off. I forgot...shit…” he said

Noah smiled “It's fine, while you were gone, I looked around. I found some firewood in the back. We will just get some more firewood tomorrow.”

Nick sighed in relief.

-Two hours later -

Seth was sitting on the couch.

Noah was putting firewood in the fireplace as Nick was looking out the window.

It was sundown, it would be dark out soon.

Nick thought he saw something.

A shadow behind a tree.

What the hell?
