Left 4 Dead 2- A Hunter's Priorities-Part 2 of 2

Hunter x Hunter!Reader x Slight! Ellis

--Reader's P.O.V--

Darkness..is all I saw, the stinging pain subsided a long while ago..I just had to open my eyes to a new world.

--Hunter's P.O.V--

I waited for a long time already, I don't know how long it's been but I stayed by (Y/N)'s side the whole time I only left once and
that was to do a perimeter check for something to eat and found nothing..the only way I could search properly is for the
infection to speed up and course through her body. I slowly crawled on all fours, circling around (Y/N), trying to find a comfortable
position to rest in, after a couple more seconds I finally found a spot I was able to find a nice, comfy spot right above her head, her
soft, but still messy (H/C) hair which still barely held her scent of (Fave scent?), I nuzzled the crown of her head, my chest emitted
a soft barely inaudible purr, the heavy scent of blood flooding my senses..I didn't bother it was her blood and it didn't dry yet
anyways 'I hope you awake soon..' I thought to myself as my blue glazed, bloodshot eyes slowly closed.

~Time skip of Impatience and Laziness~

--Reader's P.O.V--

After what seemed like a day, I slowly opened my eyes to find a grey sky like all life was drained from the earth..which what really
happened..also escaping with mine, my head was pulsating due to a terrible migraine, I sat up propping myself up on my elbows,
I flinched as I felt my forehead come into contact with soft, sturdy rough surface, I reopened my dull (E/C) eyes to find a very
familiar navy-colored fabric, I tried to speak but nothing came out except for a low, raspy rumble emitting from my voice box,
the figure raised it's head..I then realized it was the same Hunter that saved me from that revolting Smoker yesterday, his glazed
eyes bore into my (E/C) orbs or I suppose they're still (E/C).

--Hunter's P.O.V--

I studied (Y/N) as she looked directly into my faded blue eyes, a low growl erupted from my chest signifying her to follow me to
search for something to feast on, she didn't move, she just continued to stare at me like I was crazy or something..which I probably
am, no doubt about that, I gently rested my forehead against her own, following me nudging it gently, her now pale skin felt like silk
against my scraped, rough skin 'I need you to follow me' she still didn't move. I moved away from her, crawling to her side, I
bit her (F/C) sweater sleeve, tugging it toward my direction, she tumbled over onto her side, her gaze attracted over to me, I
kept tugging her until she finally caught my drift and followed me onto the empty street.

--Reader's P.O.V--

'I guess he wants me to follow him' I thought as I slowly crept after him, the heavy metallic scent clouding the atmosphere,
making it impossible to concentrate on our objective, I was brought out of this heavenly trance, my face hitting the concrete,
I looked behind me to see what caused my little accident, what I saw horrified me to no end..there lying on the cold ground was
Nick, his body ripped to shreds, his entrails everywhere, his blue lifeless eyes staring directly at me, his mouth hung open like he was
left screaming for help but to no avail he was left to die, I was so frightened of the sight my voice box gave out this horrible, rough
screech that scared me even more 'Oh my god Nick' without realizing it, I felt a presence beside me, I looked beside me to find
the Hunter at my side, nudging me to keep moving forward.

--Hunter's P.O.V--

I felt this pang of sadness as I saw my mate show weakness at her old companion's death, I couldn't let her moan over the male's
death so I forced her to keep moving on, within my hearing range I heard faint yelling and gunshots 'The survivors!' I stood on
two feet to move faster, looking back to make sure (Y/N) was still following me, which she was but she was still on her four's,
I saw a drainage pipe leading to a nearby roof, I suddenly became determined to get (Y/N) up on top of the roof to make our trek
shorter and faster, after we jumped a couple more rooves, we found the last three remaining survivors..her friends, I looked back
at her, her face had 'happiness' written all over it..but her glow faded as she realized she couldn't near them or she'll be shot
dead on sight, my cursed growl sounded, giving away my beloved and my own position.

--3 Person P.O.V--

"I can't believe the both of them are gone'' Ellis said sadly ''Nick and (Y/N)..We could've at least held a proper burial for them both''
he suggested, rubbing the back of his neck ''Yeah and watch (Y/N) rise from her grave? Haha don't think so" Coach joked
sarcastically ''Ellis has a point it would've been respectful'' Rochelle added ''What exactly would we have left to bury?'' Coach
asked curiously ''For all we know, we witnessed Nick torn to shreds and..(Y/N)..(Y/N) is probably walking around dead like the
rest of them!'' he half-yelled ''The Hunter..'' Ellis said sadly then sighed, a low growl was heard followed by a barely inaudible one
after the first sounded ''Aw shit!'' Coach grumbled, readying his Neostead pump shotgun, aiming it at the ready focused on the
rooftops above ''Here Ellis, you might have your chance of becoming one with your dead girlfriend!'' Coach remarked ''She is
not my girlfriend!..she would've been'' he mumbled the last part ''That's if you can pass the only obstacle that blocks your way''
hearing this Ellis raised his head to look at the African-American male ''What do you mean?'' he eyed him carefully ''The male Hunter
we saw..is the only thing you need out of the picture'' Coach stated ''They're probably stalking us right now'' Coach chuckled
''You're damn right about that'' Rochelle slowly pulled her M-16, aiming it at the presence behind the two men ''Look out!'' she
shouted, Ellis and Coach turned around just in time for the two mated Hunter's who pounced but missed by an inch, the three
survivors aimed their guns at the two preditorial creatures. Ellis slowly came to realize that the Hunter in the back with the very
familiar (F/C) tattered sweater with loose pieces of (H/C) hair hanging out the dirtied hood..it was (Y/N) ''Wait'' he said quickly
''What?!'' Rochelle and Coach said in unison ''That's (Y/N)..'' he crouched down to their level, studying the two Hunter's as the one
dressed in a navy blue sweatshirt growled as Ellis slowly came in too close to their proximity ''He's protecting her'' Ellis noticed
''No shit'' Rochelle rolled her eyes, still holding her weapon, Ellis held out his hand, inching it forward toward the offending Hunter,
who immediately sensed he was trying to take his mate..which he knew all too damn well.

I wasn't about to let this peasant human take my love away from me, he can't anyway I branded her so she's my territory now and
mine alone at that, but he just didn't give up he kept reaching toward me and (Y/N) 'Stay away!' I thought angrily 'I know this will hurt
you my love but please forgive me' I thought sadly, I growled and with one swipe of my clawed hand I scratched his arm making him
cry out in pain ''Son of a bitch!'' I watched as the male cried out in pain as he held his now injured arm ''Shoot it!'' he cried out, the other
two reaimed their weapons and shot at me, one of the bullets whizzed right by me but the other got me in the shoulder, I let out my
cry of help, with my right arm useless I still had enough upper strength to pounce on the one who shot me..the brunette female.
With a sudden burst of adrenaline I pounced on her, knocking the bigger one out of the way ''Help me!'' she screamed as my quick
slashes cut through her warm flesh ''Get it off!'' she yelled again, only her shouting got cut off as I cut my way through her chest, pulling
her internal organs out, enjoying the squishy, sticky, and wet entrails that were carelessly thrown all over the place.

Rochelle is dead..my eyes widened, I was brought out of my state by a high pitched scream, I averted my eyes from Rochelle's lifeless
body to find my mate lying on the ground, barely clinging to life, now it was my turn to scream, I immediately crawled over to him and
nudged him over to look at me, he looked at me sadly almost as if saying 'I'm sorry for breaking my promise..Just know that I love you'
it saddened you greatly but also angered you as your eyes averted their glaring gaze to Coach who noticed this and turned and sprinted
away from me, I looked down at my lifeless companion, leaning down I pressed my chapped lips to his own, softly purring against them,
I then moved to his temple and gave it a gentle kiss before leaping to avenge my mate's death. With only ten seconds given for him
to have a chance at running I caught up to him and attacked ''Help!'' he yelled, I then started to swipe my claws into his throat, driving
him closer to death, he started coughing blood up into my face, I bared my sharp teeth, growling angrily 'How dare you?! You shall
atone with your death!'' I thought angrily to myself not realizing he already died moments ago, I stopped and stared as I realized what I've
become. I cried out as I felt my cheek come in contact with a hard surface, I stumbled over Coach's body and looked up to see who my
attacker was only to find..Ellis, I purred softly as I felt myself become weak ''I'm sorry but you're not the same (Y/N) I once knew'' he swung at
me again, only to miss as I dodged his hit ''You aren't (Y/N)! You're just what's left of her!'' I heard him shout on the verge of tears, then he
aimed his gun at me but I retracted the opposite way only for the bullet to strike my upper abdomen, I cried out again and jumped toward
him, knocking him on the ground, I pounced on his stomach, pinning him down by the arms ''I trusted you'' my eyes widened as my lost
voice came out in a raspy whisper, Ellis was in shock ''You left me to die'' I tried out my voice again, seeing as it was slowly getting
clearer ''I'll show you how this is played'' and with that I swipped across his neck, making a clean cut, he gasped for air but to no avail
he died. I groaned as I remembered being shot in the stomach 'No one won this' I forced a barely visible pained smile 'Now I'm gonna die..
for real this time' I dragged myself toward my mate, laying directly in front of him, pressing my cold forehead against his 'This is it'
I kissed his lips one last time and closed my eyes for the final last time 'I want you to be the last thing I see' I thought to myself as I
let my breathing come to a complete rest.
