I do not own
Rhea, Anthony and Ciel walked through the forest.
"We should start heading back; we will already be a day late." Ciel said
Rhea nodded her head coughing, but covered her mouth. They looked at her in concern; she spit the phlegm out and continued walking. They walked for hours until they heard a gunshot .They dropped to the ground and had their walkers stop moving. They looked around as they heard more gun shots.
"They are close." Ciel said backing away and tying his zombie to a tree.
They did the same, Rhea having two zombies along with Anthony. They readied their weapons Rhea one of her katanas, Anthony took out his crossbow and readied it, and Ciel his lone Katana.
They walked with caution as they saw a group of men walking toward a National Guard unit. They were too far away to tell if they were human or not.
"Let's get out of here." Anthony said ready to turn back.
Rhea coughed and she huddled close to her knees to block the noise.
"They could have medicine, we could acquire." Ciel said looking at the men inspecting their guns.
"He's right and you know it." Rhea said with a hoarse throat
Anthony nodded his head but swiftly turned around along with Ciel who was getting up along with him. Rhea got up though slower than her normal speed but he wouldn't tell.
The man took off his safety "Governor I found some people!"
Two men came along with a bulletproof vest wearing guy who was looking confident.
"Kore wa mondai kamo shirenai" Anthony said
They nodded their heads.
"Eh! No talking!" The man yelled Anthony noticed he had one hand and a replacement of a hand a knife.
"You want to put your weapons down, your clearly outnumbered." The Governor said
They didn't move, so he raised his gun in the air to shoot it. At the same time Rhea circled around him putting her blade on his throat. "We are not outmatched." She whispered in his ear.
The goons had their weapons on her and him.
"You clearly didn't think this-"He stopped talking to notice her katana had a white slip "Michonne?"
Rhea held the blade closer to him "How do you know my sister?"
He didn't talk so she pressed it closer to him, grazing the hairs on his chin. "How!"
"She is at my camp; I can take her to you." She looked at him and the others.
"Ni ikitaidesu ka?" Anthony asked
"Watashi no imōto wa him. It no yōna hito wa wanadearu to node wanaideshou." Rhea said
"Wareware wa mada anata no kusuri o shutoku suru hitsuyō ga ari" Ciel said
Rhea agreed she pushed the Governor off her "We will go with you."
He smiled "Perfect, let's go." They headed for the cars
"We need our stuff." Anthony said as they walked back to their zombie, grabbing the bags and killing them.
The Governor noticed she had two like her sister. Once they picked up their things they followed them into the cars and noticed they did not get a window seat. The Governor had the girl and one of the boys in his car .He looked at her in the rearview mirror. They had the same skin tone, her hair was in one long braid and he noticed she smiled like some sweet lotion, and of the woods. They had the same eyes, and color though voice was different while Michonne had a rough voice she could change hers from sweet to deadly. The most intriguing things were that they spoke Japanese, and seemed like they just turned eighteen or nineteen.
Rhea was leaning on Ciel, he was always cool, yet never got sick. She hasn't seen her sister since the dead came back. Though they saw each other briefly, she felt an eye on her it was most likely from the Governor the dude was a creep. The followed him into the community, she thought it was strange how everyone acted as if dead people weren't eating people and walking around.
They followed the Governor into a large house; he stopped in the middle of the room "I ask you to please surrender your weapons."
They looked at him "In the whole conversation of coming here you did not say handing over our means of protection." Ciel said
Governor put his hand up in surrender "Your right but let's play neutral ground we will keep your weapons in your sight. I promise you that."
Rhea leaned on Anthony as she started to get dizzy, she handed over her weapons. The boys did the same watching as he put them in a case.
A woman came over to them, she was in scrubs "Follow me to the infirmary."
Rhea followed her, the Governor watched as the boys went to they did not seem ill .Rhea sat on a hospital bed and stopped the woman from putting an IV in her." I just need some cold and flu medicine, and rest."
She let go of the woman's wrist, while also pushing her. The woman nodded, noticed that she gave off the same vibe as Michonne, as she got things ready, she inspected her wrist; just a little bruising. She gave her the pills and some water.
"So while she sleeps, let's talk." The governor said wanting to take hold of the situation.
"We won't leave this room." Anthony said
Rhea kicked at them "Go, it would be nice to not have my sleep interrupted."
The two nodded, taking one last look at her and the woman who gave her the medicine. The Governor had them back in the living room. They sat down dropping their bags on the floor. "So I'm the Governor" He said shaking their hands.
"Anthony."
"Ciel and you met Rhea." Ciel got up looking out the window the people were acting normal. As if things were normal. The way they acted it was like the people in Omashu from Avatar The last Air bender.
"We will be out of your way, once Rhea wakes up." Anthony said
"Where are you headed?" Governor asked though kept his eyes on Ciel.
"The city." Ciel said noticing a child waved at him, he nodded to her.
"That's a dangerous place, why go ?"
"We decided that's where we will meet." Anthony said
"How many are in your group?" He asked interested
"It changes." Anthony said shrugging his shoulders
"Where will we rest?" Ciel asked now leaning on the window
"I will show you." He got up though he noticed Anthony went and got the bag from Rhea.
"Thank you." Ciel said
They noticed the room they were in had two beds, though they thanked him none the less. They dropped their bags on the beds.
"You want to take first shift?" Ciel asked once again looking out a window.
"Not really how tired are you?" Anthony asked taking out a phone and setting the alarm clock.
"I will take first shift." Ciel said Anthony nodded giving him the phone and taking a knife out of his boot and putting it under his pillow as he went to sleep in an instant.
Ciel checked the door it wasn't locked, he checked the windows they weren't barred and no security cameras in the room either.
Rhea woke up, she saw the clock on the wall said she slept for an hour, she slowly got up. She felt dizzy and her throat was dry, she reached for the water bottle, sniffing it taking a few sips before drinking it again. She found a bathroom and relieved herself and walked out the infirmary noticing the house had electricity.
She walked closer to the sound of a crackling fire, she saw the Governor dude reading. She also saw her weapon along with her friends as well. She sat in a chair that was opposite him. She smirked as he jumped, he had a gun out and was pointing it to her.
He then relaxed and laughed "If you were a zombie you would be dead."
She shook her head "No if I was a zombie you would be, what zombie sits in a chair that would be passing its next meal?"
He nudged his head "Your right. How you feeling?"
"Better, the herbs work just not as fast. I do like pills and cough syrup."
He nodded putting his book away "What are you reading?"
He stopped and gave it to her "The Peasant and The Demon, is it good?"
He shrugged "I just started it."
She nodded giving him the book back "The last books I read were "Lolita" and "The Last Book in the Universe"
He looked at her shocked "Lolita?"
She nodded smiling "Yes, I quite enjoy reading it, though I did not care for both of the movie adaptations. Though Jeremy Irons is wonderful."
He looked at her "Interesting, I haven't read or seen the movie."
"Yeah well I think the time has passed for you to." She said looking at the fire then turning to him "Do you have anything I can snack on?"
"Yes, let me get it for you." He got up though she stopped him "You have given me medicine and my friends a place to stay let me get my own food."
He sat down "Alright, some apples are in a bowl on the table." She thanked him going into the room.
He watched her as she left, he heard footsteps this time. "What are you still doing up?" Andrea asked sitting on his lap.
"I was reading a little and talked to one of our guests."
She looked at him eyebrow raised "Really."
"Yes." He heard feet shuffling and saw Rhea with an apple biting into it.
She saw Andrea and smiled sitting back in her spot "Hello, I'm Rhea." She started eating her washed apple.
Andrea thought she saw Michonne except younger and seemed to like everyone at first.
"Is something wrong?" Rhea asked looking from Andrea to Governor
Andrea shook her head "No! No, it's just that your sister saved my life. She left but you look just like her except smiling more. She even uses zombies to carry our things"
Governor was mad at what Andrea said but she said it so fast that hopefully the girl did not hear it. Rhea wanted to leave now, but it's bad to travel in the dark even for them.
Rhea acted like she didn't understand but caught the last part "Yes, we use the same technique it helps a lot."
"You do smile more than your sister." Ciel said picking Rhea up and putting her in his lap. He kissed her forehead. "We should be able to leave tomorrow."
"Wow!" Andrea said
Ciel looked at her "We do need to leave fast."
She shook her head "No it's just I heard three of you were here, how does you other friend take to you being a couple?" She asked interested
Ciel chuckled "We are all a couple."
Governor swallowed at this and looked at the girl who seemed innocent, she was with two men. Andrea was shocked that guys were sharing.
"You know a threesome." Rhea said scooting closer Ciel
"Which by the way, you will have to choose who you want to sleep with." Ciel said rubbing his thumb over her thigh
She looked at him "I did sleep next to you last night so Anthony's turn."
She looked to the Governor "Where?"
Before he could start, Andrea got up "I'll show her."
"So you and two boys that's different." Andrea said
"No offense but I have heard it all, you can think whatever you want. Though I do know one thing whether I live or they die or one of us dies. We had two people who weren't family love us in a world that is so cold."
Andrea didn't know what to say, instead of talking in a sweet voice she talked in a voice that reminded her of Michonne. Rhea thanked her and closed the door.
Rhea shook Anthony; he moaned but looked at her "What is it?"
"I was right, he lied. We leave the minute the sun rises." She said taking off her boots and her jacket and getting under the covers.
The Governor watched the women leave and opened his mouth "Don't even start, we won't even be part of your community so don't tell us to break up or anything like that." Ciel said
"I wasn't, I was going to ask you if you would think about staying."
Ciel shook his head "We have our own pack, I think on one hand it's great what you're doing on another it's downright creepy. I mean no one talks about the zombies here; everyone acts as if they are safe. I have learned no one is truly safe, especially when you stay in one place."
"We would really need your skills though-"
Ciel stood up "Look I'm sorry but I have people I am committed to, and it's not just them."
