Beginnings
The first few days of their escape were the worst. The day the got out of the lab, Zack didn't stop moving. They couldn't stop, couldn't slow down because then they would get them, they would catch them and take them back to the labs and he knew that if that happened he'd never see Cloud again. So he kept going. He didn't know what time it was when he collapsed, but he remembers seeing the starry sky for the first time in forever. Dragging Cloud with him into the overgrowth, he holds the limp body close as the world fades away. He wakes up with the sun shining blindingly into his eyes. Getting up, he starts them back on a more sedated pace, feeling not quite right. They manage to cover a miles walk before he has to stop and vomit. Whether it's the smell or sound or just the timing, Cloud quickly joins him. They spend the day hunched over the ground, heaving up eerily green bile. Zack barley manages to keep Cloud upright, and as soon as he's able to breath steadily for more then a few minutes, he rolls away from the mess and is soon asleep. The third day is absolute hell. Everything hurts. Zack doesn't want to move from his semi-comfortable spot on the ground, doesn't know why he has too but the weight in his arms is a sobering reminder. It takes longer this time, but soon they're back on track. Around noon he spots a small stream and he drinks as much as he can handle. It's tricky but he manages to get Cloud to swallow a few mouthfuls of the cool water. He cleans then up as best he can, but he doesn't want to linger. Walking seems easier now and by evening he's feeling more like himself. They cover a bit more ground before Cloud decides he's tired and they're forced to find a nook to spend the night. When he wakes on the fourth day everything seems better, the sun brighter, the air cleaner. He finds a bushel of his favorite berries and fills his stomach. He even manages to get Cloud to swallow some. He takes it as a sign. With a smile, he hoists Cloud up and begins the long journey home.
