Eventually Noah follows us and we keep walking for a while. After a short while the area around us gets more and more urban-like. We look around for a bit for a place to sleep in. I turn around a look at Noah: "This area seems to be clear of any undead, doesn't mean that you can make a lot of sound ofcourse." I glance at him and he rolls his eyes, "Aye, boss," he grins. I ignore him and the pounding in my head that tells me I barely ate today.
When we enter a garage, there is a soft but very clear noise from upstairs. Emilee stays with Noah when I go up the stairs. I hear Emilee sigh, which I ignore as well. I do a lot of ignoring these days. It is dark upstairs and my eyes need to get used to the darkness. I hear the noise again and point my gun towards the sound and all of a sudden a cat jumps out of a box and runs down the stairs. "God damnit," I whisper into myself, realising I just got scared by cat.
I hear Noah laugh downstairs. I walk down the stairs again and find Noah holding the cat in his arms. Emilee gets closer to the cat as well and cuddles it. "You're sweet," she whispers.
"Yeah, but this beast could also attrack a hell of a lot Undead," Noah says and without a single warning he turns around the neck of the poor cat. Emilee lets out a quick yell. "What?" Noah says casually and throws the dead body of the cat on the floor. I stare at him, pretty angry. "What?" Noahs says again, but doesn't wait for me to answer: "We can eat her, but I prefer something else. Let's search for some food," he says, and so we do.
We go through the house, looking for food and water. When Emilee is looking in the kitchen, I walk over to Noah, who's in the hallway.
"You could have at least warned her," I his through my teeth.
"Oh, what, now all of a sudden you care about she feels?" He asks in a whisper.
"Well.. No, what the hell." It comes out as a stutter. "It's just.. She just said it was sweet and all, I don't think it was fair."
"It wasn't fair of you to make her come with us, either, but you did that as well," he whispers, making sure she won't hear us.
I look over my shoulder, she's grabbing some things out of the kitchen. I ignore Noah and walk over to her. "You good?" I ask her casually, realising how stupid that must have sounded. "I mean, you thirsty?" I hand her a water bottle I just found.
