rC: Hey everyone! I thought I'd start a story, since I don't think I've posted anything here yet... This is a Zombie AU for homestuck. I might post the information later, but I'm not sure if I want to. Anyways, here's the intro for a few of the characters~ If you like it, I just might post more!

-.-.-.-.-

So this was it. The end of times.

Vriska was calmer than she thought she'd be. Blue eyes scanned the house for her beloved sister; she had to find her. She had just watched her mother, father, and elder sister die, by her own hands at that; she wasn't about to lose Lilian too.

She spotted movement under the table, and quickly ran over to the young child, holding her close.

"We're going to make it out of here. I promise you. Just stay calm, okay? We're going to be okay. You're going to be okay."

The raven-haired teen then helped up the little girl, before she took a breath, and she ran. Oh, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her; determined to save her little sister's life. Despite her efforts, she still wasn't quite fast enough…

"Vriska!" The young girl squeaked as she fell to the floor.

"Lilian! No!" That was the last thing she got to say to her sister, before watching as her head was torn clean off her body.

Tears poured down the teen's cheeks, blurring her vision; but she couldn't stop to mourn. She refused to be weak. She wouldn't die. No, she had to survive this. For Lilian's sake.

And with that, she turned on her heels, and ran.

-.-.-.-.-

Screaming. That was the first thing he remembered. Then blood, and lots of it. He remembered thinking that his brother had gotten into another gang fight, and running up to help. He remembered seeing what appeared to be a walking, rotting corpse. His brother was fighting it off, and told him to run. He remembered not listening, fighting with him, and running. There were lots of them, so many, he was so scared. He remembered worrying for his best friend, for his brother, for everyone. What he didn't remember? How they'd survived.

"Tavros. He's gone. He's not worth it."

"He's still Gamzee. I know he is. He's in there somewhere…" Tavros tied a gag around his best friend's mouth, having kept the undead creature, much to his brother's distaste.

"Fine, but if he kills you, don't say I didn't tell you so…" Rufioh sighed, walking off to sit on a box in the storage they now called their home.

The younger brunet simply rolled his eyes, brushing some of the matted black hair from his dead boyfriend's face, showing his nearly purple-blue dead eyes, before smiling weakly. "You wouldn't kill me… Right Zee…?"

Silence was his only reply.

-.-.-.-.-

Karkat knew fear. It had been something he had lived with since he was very young. He was afraid of the fire that burned the car that killed his parents. He was afraid of the darkness that plagued his dreams. He was afraid of the loneliness that he felt every time another child was adopted.

Despite all this, he had never been as scared as he was the day he first saw them.

They had taken down all the workers quickly, before going after the children. They ripped the others apart, limb from limb, sending blood everywhere.

His fear paralyzed him. He almost didn't hear his brother yelling his name, almost didn't feel him grabbing his arm, or pulling him away. He didn't even stop to think when they ran, leaving behind everything they had known.

Just when he thought they were safe, more fear was etched into his heart. The fear of losing the only family he had left.

"No, no, you can't be bitten, no…"

"I'm so sorry, KK… But you're on your own now…" He smiled weakly, squeezing his hand gently, "You've got to be brave, for me, okay? Just remember what I taught you... Now run."

Brown eyes blurred with tears, before he let go of his brother's hand.

And then, he ran. As fast as his legs could carry him, the young teen took off across the landscape, and into the forest.

Despite this, he didn't fear the future, or what it would bring for him…

He wasn't allowed to be scared anymore.

-.-.-.-.-

It all happened so fast. One moment, Nepeta was happily curled up in her bed, Pounce curled up in her arms. The next, she was running with said cat close to her chest, and her sister by her side, as screams echoed through her small town. She wasn't quite sure what was going on, but what she did know, was that her mother was dead, and she could never go home again.

"…M-Meu…I'm scared…"

"Don't be Nep… We're going to be okay. I promise." The elder squeezed her sister's hand, looking back at her for a second, before turning back to the road ahead.

Then ran like that for hours, until they finally reached the safety of a storage building. The sisters snuck inside, Nepeta holding Pounce close to her, trying to keep silent. It was just then that the cat let out a loud, terrified mew.

"Who's there?!" A brown haired teen came into sight, and took aim at Meulin's face with a gun, and both sisters immediately froze.

Meulin's hands rose above her head, "We mean you no harm…"

"How can I trust you? Give me one good reason not to shoot you right now!"

Suddenly, another, slightly younger teen ran around the corner, before a bright smile crossed his face.

"Nep! You're alive!"

A relieved smile crossed Meulin's face.

"There's your reason."

-.-.-.-.-

He had been late to Soccer that day. John ran as fast as he could to the outdoor group, running into the field already in outfit.

What he saw when he got there was enough to stop his heart. A walking corpse, slowly sauntering towards his best friend, Jade. His jaw fell slack, and he just couldn't seem to utter a warning, as the color drained from his face.

"John? John, are you okay?" His unsuspecting friend questioned, oblivious to the creature slowly walking up behind her.

"J-Jade… B-behind you..." But it was too late for warnings. The creature bit down on her neck, spraying blood across the green grass, and across John's blue uniform. He flashed his friend a sorrowful glance, before taking off towards the forest edge. He was so close to being safe, but the screams, her screams, still echoed in his head.

"…I-I'm so sorry, Jade…"

-.-.-.-.-
