rC: Just a little drabble to get the creative juices flowing!
rC: It's all from John's POV, and it's later going to be written in third-person, for when they actually meet in the main fic!
rC: Yes, it's another drabble in my Zombie AU setting. It's good for getting IC to actually write the AU! :3
rC: So, I hope you enjoy!
It was dark. It was silent.
I was alone. I was scared.
My arms wrapped around my knees as I tried to calm myself down, my back pressed against a tree, cold sweat dripping down the back of my neck.
Another one. There were so many of them.
How many people had died?
I shook my head quickly, before burying my face in my knees. I didn't want to think about that.
I just wanted to calm down.
The silence stretched out, my guilt echoing off the trees and bouncing back to my chest, breaking my quick-beating heart a little more each time.
How could I?
Before I realized it, tears were streaming down my face, my body shaking with silent sobs.
How could I?
How could I let her die?
How could I?
"Is someone there?"
A voice snapped me from my thoughts, and my eyes shot up to meet two strangers. One had long black hair, and bright blue eyes. She was much taller than the other, by at least a foot. The other was a younger teen, with almost red brown eyes, and shaggy deep brown hair.
"Are you hurt?" The female asked me.
I shook my head.
"Then get up. We need to hurry. They're coming."
Who are coming, I wonder. But it's not like I'm going to fight her; these two are the first living humans I've seen all week. So, I merely nod, and follow them.
The shorter walked over to help me up, before flashing me a quick, nervous smile.
"Welcome to the group. I'm Karkat." He whispered.
"I'm…I'm John." I stuttered out.
The other tapped her foot, "Can we hurry the fuck up? I don't feel like being dinner tonight."
"Yeah, 'm coming Vriska." Karkat looked back to me, before following after this Vriska, who was already heading off in the other direction.
I didn't know what else to do, so naturally, I followed.
And I'm so glad that I did.
