Chapter Seventeen

Allison

The next morning Allison got up before her housemates and headed to the football field. The town was quiet as she walked the streets, passing a spare few who ventured out so early. They smiled warmly at Allison as they greeted her and continued on with whatever it was they were doing. When Allison arrived at the football field, there was only one other person there. The man who beat Elliot yesterday was on one side of the field, arrow in hand, bow drawn back, aiming at a target. He released the arrow as he glanced at Allison. His black t-shirt was haphazardly tucked into khaki cargo pants and he wore a pair of tightly laced hiking boots on his feet. His skin slightly glistened in the morning light from a thin layer of sweat.

He brought the bow back up to his cheek, pulled back the string with an arrow firmly in place, and let go in one fluid movement. Just looking at the man, he would never be described as graceful, but that was the only word for his movement when he strung his bow and arrow and sent it sailing. The arrow landed about thirty feet out, blasting into the target near the center, almost a bullseye. So not only does he look good doing it, but he is an impressive shot too. Damn. Allison walked toward the man as he leaned down to pick up another arrow. He looked back at Allison but continued with his task. His shoulders and arms tensed as he pulled back the bow string, and every muscle was perfectly defined. He stood and shot at the target, this arrow landing very near the last. He turned and faced Allison, his blue eyes piercing with intense focus as he ran his hand over his buzz cut of light brown hair, sending droplets of sweat falling to the ground. He wiped his hand on his pants a few times, then extended it to Allison.

“You’re a great shot,” she said.

“Thanks. My name is Trevor. You?” His eyes met hers.

“I’m Allison.” She shook his hand, which despite his best efforts, still felt moist.

“Thanks. So, what brings you to the field, Allison? Not many girls come out here.” He gathered up the arrows on the ground and began walking toward the target to retrieve the others. Allison hurried to keep up.

“I want to learn this.” She pointed around her at all the equipment. “All of it.”

“All of it? That’s a lot of stuff. It would take someone a long time to learn it all. Are you planning on sticking around here for the long haul?” He yanked his arrows from the target one by one, checking each tip for breaks. He bundled all the arrows under his arm and began walking over to a shed on the side of the field. Allison stayed right behind him.

“Okay. Well maybe not all of it because I’m not staying here. But some of it. Enough to, say, defend myself not just from Infected but from people too.
