She copied him, beginning to walk again as well.
“It’s the End of the World as We Know It” (O/O)
Logan sighed and stretched.
“How much longer are we going to walk?” Allie asked, curious.
Logan shrugged. "I…don't know, actually." He replied slowly.
“Well, maybe we could just walk a little farther and then stop? We don’t need to walk all day, do we?” she asked.
Logan nodded. "Yeah, sure." He replied, raking a hand through his hair.
Allie nodded. “Cool.” She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and glanced around warily.
Logan took a deep breath, looking around. He wondered what the Red Hand would do, and if this was what he would have to do forever. Just…run away.
Allie heard a noise and she started. “Did you hear that?” she asked him. A branch crunched near them, like someone was walking close by.
Logan frowned, and nodded. "Yeah." He replied softly, eyes darting around to try and locate the source of the noise.
Allie tensed, looking around. Some leaves near them rustled, and a deer walked out, glancing in their direction before running away. Allie breathed a sigh of relief, even though the appearance of the deer was a bit weird.
Logan released his breath in a soft sigh. "Damn. That scared me." he said with a quiet laugh.
Allie’s lips quirked into a smile as well, before she laughed too. “Me too.” She was still a tiny bit wary, though.
Logan chuckled. "Mm. Good to know we're both on the alert, then."
“Yeah, and I’m still shaken up from that stupid deer,” Allie admitted, shaking her head.
He laughed. "Mm. Me too." he replied, looking at her.
Allie stopped talking for a moment, taking a breath. "Are we just going to be struck with fear every time a deer gets near us?" she asked.
Logan laughed. "We might." He replied with a chuckle.
Allie rolled her eyes. "Well then I hope we don't see any more deer. At least it wasn't a person."
Logan laughed. "Yeah, hopefully."
Allie started walking again, taking another deep breath. She wondered if Logan could tell she was still on edge.
Logan sighed, raking a hand through his hair. He wasn't sure what to do, if he was honest.
Allie glanced at Logan. She pressed her lips together. They would have to be running their whole lives, wouldn’t they?
Logan bit his lower lip in thought, frowning.
