Chapter 3
Flukey and Six traversed across the forest all while staying out of view of the Hunter though it wasn't easy.
Generally, he knew they were close by and the forest was big so they couldn't have gotten out so soon. All he had to do was keep his guard up and his eyes or eye and ears open and he'd catch them eventually, or so he thought but the duo weren't gonna give him the chance to get a shot off on them.
After some more sneaking and traversing Flukey spoke.
Flukey: *Whispers* Okay....I think we're in the clear.
Just then, a shot rang out and it hit the tree that Flukey and Six were behind but luckily they were unscathed.
Flukey: I stand corrected! Run!
The duo booked it, continuing the chase while avoiding getting shot at until they headed inside a small cabin and once inside, Six locked it and seconds later the Hunter punched a hole through the door, trying to get in via unlocking the door from the outside with his hand.
Flukey knew it wouldn't be long before the Hunter would get in and needed to be taken care of once and for all so he looked around for a weapon and found a double-barrel shotgun hanging on a rack.
He reached for it and got it off the rack but because it was so big he couldn't hold it steady to shoot but Six helped by steadying it more for him and when he got the aim just right, he fired, causing a massive bang and his ears to ring out from the sound of the shotgun.
Flukey groaned from the ringing sound as he covered his ears while Six, who wasn't as affected, rushed to his aid and checked on him.
After a few seconds, the ringing stopped and Flukey could hear clearly again.
Six: Hey are you okay?
Flukey: Y-Yeah.
Six helped Flukey up to his feet.
Flukey: Is....Is he dead?
Six: I mean....we did shoot him at point-blank with a double-barrel....
Flukey:Let's check just to be extra sure. But stay cautious.
Six nodded back and they defensively went to the door and looked through one of the holes to see the Hunter lying on the ground with a huge hole in his stomach, exposing guts and blood that leaked out of the Hunter's body, creating a reddened pool under him.
Flukey: Yup he is definitely dead. Let's get outta here.
Flukey and Six hopped through the only window in the cabin and continued onwards to get to a beach at the end of the forest and on the other side was a city that strangely had bent buildings.
As much as the duo had their concerns about the sight, they knew it was the only way to continue forward and with the use of a convenient door close to them, they pushed it into the water and used it as a makeshift boat.
On the makeshift boat, Flukey was sitting casually and calming himself from the ordeal earlier while Six was sitting with her knees up against her chest and staying silent.
Living in a dark and desolate world, Flukey hasn't had much interaction with others, specifically those that aren't trying to kill him, but in the case of the ones that he's had brief alliances with, Six certainly seems to be far more hardened than the rest.
But while this is all well and good for Flukey to have a trustworthy partner, another part of Flukey wonders how far with this alliance go between him and Flukey.
After all, betrayal can stem from survival.
