Hey people! I'm back

After a week of brainstorming, I finally came up with a new one.

I hope you enjoy!

Please don't be shy to criticize my work as those suggestions of yours fuel my drive to write more and more!

Chapter 1

Law's P.O.V.

Hot…

That is what I felt when I came to my senses. The heat from my thick medic's coat against the thick leather couch drenched my upper body in sweat, my head feels like I've been bludgeoned by a sledge hammer and ran over by a car, running up my fingers at the back of my head, I checked for any signs of blood or bump luckily, there was none.

"What am I doing here?" Was the first thing that I said when I noticed that I was in my office at the hospital. I sat up and glanced around my room while rubbing the thin layer of sweat off my forehead. I remembered doing some stitches for a patient early this morning. But, I didn't remember going back to my office after that. I might have been just exhausted, surgeons don't really have the liberty to sleep any time and as often as they like. I sometimes get called in the middle of the night to perform emergency surgeries or a confined patient suddenly needs attention.

"How long have I been out?" Was the next thing that I asked myself. It is of course, my duty to tend to my patient's need. I can't just lie around here knowing that I might have had missed some appointments or any underlying duties. I rang up the nurse's office as I sat at my chair and yawned, looking at my planner for the whole day. I was suppose to meet with a patient who had a soon expiring pace maker at around 11 in the morning. It's already 11:59, why the hell did no one even bother waking me up? I feel my blood boiling at the thought.

No one was answering any of my calls, each ward has a nurse's station where a fucking nurse was designated to supposedly call us if any patients was to meet us or someone is needing urgent medical attention. I hanged up and slumped at my incredibly comfortable chair, everyone seems to have abandoned their posts, it's already lunch time I reasoned to myself , But no! Even so, usually another nurse would have to take over the lines if someone is going out or taking a break. Irritated, I stood up and flung my coat over my shoulders, thinking it would be better if I just go check on them myself and maybe grab a bite and some coffee while I'm at it. I haven't even reached the door when the P.A. system rang. I stood there impatiently waiting for any announcements, not a few more seconds later, a voice, if I'm not mistaken was shachi's can be heard from the background, he was shouting frantically as he seems to be talking no, arguing with someone. No longer than a minute the noise died out leaving the microphone open and without a speaker.

That's weird, It couldn't be a prank could it? Or maybe he tripped on something perhaps?

Shachi was one of my long time friends that goes all the way back in high school, along with of , bepo and penguin. He was known as the prankster of the group up to this day but if this was a prank, he could get fired and considering our salaries and his passion for the field, it is quite unlikely. It doesn't make any sense at all, and that dreadful feeling in my guts since I woke up was not helping. Something was wrong and I need to figure it out.

I slowly opened the door, my heart was beating too fast but I don't know the reason why call it intuition maybe?, I just felt my heart stopped when I saw what happened outside of my office.

"Oh my fucking god…" I unconsciously muttered, it wasn't the trail of dried blood that painted the clean white walls that made me curse and lose my nerve nor was it the foul smell that reeks of human flesh, I'm a freakin' surgeon for pete's sake! I get to experience that everyday, I'm made out of tough stuff!

But what made me lose it was a girl no more than eight years old in a pink dress with blonde pigtails, alone, crouching in front of a man who was lying in his own pool of blood, her shoulders were shaking a little from what I can see from my position.

My doctor instincts kicked in and I rushed to where the girl was, there could have been an accident and the poor little girl did not know what to do and instead chose to cry over the whole situation.

Shouldn't someone had notice them by now? It was the logical part of my brain reasoning out to me.

Only a meter's distance left and I noticed that her dress was soiled in blood and a crunching sound emanating from those two figures.

I called out to the little girl for the second time who seems to not had heard me calling her all the while, she must have been traumatized by this.

It is when I took another step when I realized that her shoulders weren't shaking from crying, but it was because she was occupied in eating the man's flesh and intestines with her bare hands that makes her upper body move, the man's liver was already halved and still bleeding, his intestines were lying haphazardly across the tiled flooring.

I took a step back and I knew I lost my bearing from shock and ended up seated at the soiled floor, I flinched as she stopped moving. I can feel my stomach twist in disgust. My mouth felt dry as I try my best not to throw up.

"Don't turn back! Don't turn back! Don't turn back!" I silently prayed. Slowly, I used my arms to support my self to stand up.

She was still not moving. I can feel the hair in my neck and my arms stand as I sat there motionless waiting for whatever happens. I glanced behind my back, analyzing my escape route, it would take me about fifty steps before I can get back to the comfort of my room. When I turned my head back at her direction, I saw her looking at me, I froze as I took her features in , her eyes were coal black even her sclera, her right cheek was torn revealing her gums and teeth laced with thick dark blood and her skin was already rotting from the outside infested with maggots pouring out of the holes and crawling across her face .

She growled at me like a savage, blood flowing out of her mouth. I quickly stood up and ran back to the direction of my office, carelessly throwing anything my hand can grab into along the way to slow down the whatever creature pursuing me, I did not dare look back as I heard her quick menacing steps behind me. I twisted the doorknob as soon as my hand felt the cold steel and slammed the door of my office.

Tug! Tug! Tug! Tug!

I reached for the lock and pressed it, my eyes darted everywhere and looked for something that would hold the girl's surprisingly strong force. I can feel the adrenaline pushing my body's limit as I managed to drag a slightly heavy file cabinet at the corner of my room towards the door in a short amount of time.

I rubbed my face frantically as my brain tries to make sense out of what happened. I have NEVER seen anything like that in my entire years of existence, even as years of studying as a doctor. I was instantly snapped out of my thoughts as another two set of hands was banging at my door. I know my cabinet wouldn't last long if another one of those creatures showed up. I ran to my desk fumbling over the phone. I dialled 1-9-1, our national emergency hotline but I was only prompted by the answering machine to call again as it was busy a of the moment.

"Curses!"

I am at the fourth floor of the hospital, the window behind me was not the wisest place to escape to as there are no balconies, I looked around frantically for any other routes, they were still there!

The latches around the door were already loosening as well as the wood was starting to splinter from their constant blows. My vision was already spinning from sheer panic.

I looked up.

The ventilation ducts!

I climbed up to my desk and pushed the slightly heavy aluminum cover upwards but even at 6'3 tall, It wasn't enough to remove it completely from its hinges. I grabbed the chair in front of my desk as the door gives away making the file cabinet tumble forward with a loud clang revealing 3 of them who were now inching their way towards me with only a few steps separating us, I finally managed to remove the covers of the ducts just in time and pulled myself up completely before any of those creatures manage to catch my dangling foot.

I looked back below and saw similar black eyes and rotting skins growling snapping their teeth trying to reach me.

"That man was my patient this morning!"

I sealed the ventilation duct with its cover and leaned my head at the cold steel, hoping that this small cramp place would shelter me from those creatures at least until help arrives, if it even arrives.

"Fuck!"

Luffy's P.O.V.

One voice message received from Usopp , friday at 8:26 a.m.

" luffy! School's cancelled, me and chopper are on the way to your house!"

I yawned and rubbed the sleepiness off my eyes, fuck! I'm late! Oh yeah～ Usopp just said school's out shishishi! I laid there for a few minutes thinking about politics and quantum physics as my head was still buffering. Nah! Who am I kidding!

Ding ding

"Coming Bitches!"

"Good morning guys!"

"Hey lu～"

"Good morning luffy!"

We exchanged our not so needed greetings as I pulled them inside my home, well… me and my brothers' home but, they're out of town as of the moment. You know, work and shit and stuffs.

"So… what are we gonna do today?" I asked them excitedly as I plopped down on the squishy red beanie bag that ace bought for us. Well, mine is red while ace's is orange and sabo's was blue.

"Anything! We don't really have much to do back at the dorms ya know!" My long nosed friend usopp commented as he started making coffee for everyone. I don't really like the taste of black coffee but adding lots of milk and sugar in it makes it all better! I nodded as he speak.

"Luffy! I'm hungry! I'm gonna go make some breakfast!" Chopper said as he rubs his stomach cutely, and so he did. We three were really close since high school so don't bother asking why they act like they own the house!

Usopp and Chopper were not really from this country, my long nosed friend was originally from jamaica evident to his beautiful dark olive skin and curly hair. While, chopper on the other hand hails from a town near the cold mountain ranges of canada, Chopper is slightly tanned and has wavy brown locks, his cute bright brown doe like eyes gives away his heritage and gives him a very childish look. We all met at a boarding school prior to going to college here in the man made country of New World, it is slightly bigger than singapore in size but I'm not really sure about the specifics. I heard from garp, my good ol' grumpy gramp garp that years before he was even born a piece of land between the continents of america, europe and africa emerged from below the sea after a huge earthquake. Freaky right? And well, knowing us humans, they decided to cultivate the new piece of land since they couldn't find anything wrong with it and the extra space helps right? Thus, the capital city of grand line was built and serves as a free country for refugees and tourists from all over the world!

After a sumptuous breakfast of bread, jam, eggs and bacon, we settled at the couch and played a multiplayer shooting game with usopp winning constantly, the guy is really good with shooting games as he has a pretty good eyesight compared to ours.

It's only two hours since we started playing and we're starting to get bored. Its kinda funny when students wishes for a longer vacation but then complains about the extra time in their hands. We laughed about that and switched the video to television, maybe we can find something interesting.

"So… why again did they cancel the class?" I asked as I flip idly through the channels.

"Dunno… don't care hahaha but, there were some police cars outside" usopp chuckled as he heard chopper snorting beside him. I simply nodded as there wasn't any point in commenting about it.

Breaking news!

"Joining me at the scene of the crime is the chief of Grand Line police department, chief, what can you say about the incident?" the female reporter turns to a brusque man who looks like he was in his late 30's with white hair.

"Hey guys! Look! Isn't that the chemistry lab in the fourth floor?" Chopper asks in disbelief as he pointed towards the university's emblem at the back of the room.

"Holy shit! It is! So what happened?" Usopp straightened up as we continue to watch the news.

"Our forensics are having a hard time figuring what happened here, evident to the bite marks all over his his body one of the possible scenarios is that the victim, presumed to have arrived at around 5 in the morning to clean the school's premises had an encounter with a yet still unspecified wild animal who mauled him to death." He answered gruffly.

"Thank you for your time Chief Smoker!" She nodded gratefully to the man before looking back at the screen. "This is Vivi Nefertari, live at Grand Line State University…"

"Vi- th-the body! It's moving!" The cameraman alerted the blue haired news anchor as it focused behind the now moving corpse.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The victim who was declared dead a few hours ago is still moving, th-this is live and on going, there seems to be… AAGH! HOLY MOTHER OF…"

We watched in shock as the "dead" janitor rose up and attacked an officer at the background, it wasn't too clear as it was obvious that they were running, the reporter was screaming and panting like a veteran sailor. Just as I thought that it wouldn't get any weirder, they cut off the report and resumed back at their broadcasting station with another news anchor who looks bewildered as well.

"What the hell did just happen?" Chopper started as he looked at us. I shrugged and laughed, not having any idea.

"Gentlemen…" Usopp opened his mouth to speak, he didn't need much to grab my attention, usopp may look weird in plain view but he is pretty smart. "I think, we have a zombie outbreak coming…"

For the first time in my life, I was left speechless.

… … Grandline University: Zoro's P.O.V. …

"So much for a peaceful long weekend…" I sighed as I stepped out of my motorcycle. We received a call this morning from the chief, said there was something about a dead man biting his subordinate's neck and they need further reinforcements, speaking of which, he isn't even here!

"Zoro-san?" My partner tashigi called me from the other room. I immediately went to her, she was frozen stiff, her face contorted into shock. I followed her gaze and winced at the sight.

The wall, it has a message scrawled on it with blood.

"escape now!…" I unconsciously folded my arms as I muttered the word. It was pretty much a warning for someone but… who wrote it? Could it be for us?

Tashigi immediately grabbed some tools from her kit and did a thorough investigation around the room. You know, some standard police shit. Like checking for who's whose fingerprints are present in the room or some broken glasses. I tried contacting my superior but the damned asshole wasn't answering his phone.

"Zoro-san, I got some blood sample and some fingerprints. I better head out to the laboratory, did smoker-san answer?" I only shook my head. Tashigi was still looking at me expectantly.

"Yeah you should do that, I'll be here doing some rounds first and no he still didn't answer." I said, she seems to smile a little from my answer. I heard from my other co-workers that she has a crush on me, she's pretty and smart though almost half of the department are falling heads over heels on her but I'm sorry, I don't swing that way if that's the case.

"It's weird…" she commented dryly as we were walking towards the exit.

"Weird as hell… why escape? " I answered back, my head was a little fuzzy right now, probably from hangover, so i just agreed, this weekend is so fuckin' overdue!.

"No not that, why is smoker-san's car still outside and that reporter, what's her name ? Vi-vivian-chan?" ,

"Vivi"

"Right! Their cars are still here… If they escaped… why leave the car?" She trailed off.

"Hmmm… you're right I'll try to look for more clues and contact you as soon as something comes up…" I finished as we arrived at the gates.

"Okay! take care…"

We parted ways outside as she took my motorcycle with her, I protested but she vehemently insisted that I might catch the culprit who might try to escape or pull some weird shit. Well, sister's got a point there. With a wave she set off and I went back inside.

I graduated from this university a year ago so I think I still remember the whole layout but…

I swear the corridor had changed when we went out.

She was right though…I wonder where everyone went…

Clang-

I turned my head to the source of the sound, it was coming from behind me…

… … Somewhere in a residential building: Nami's P.O.V. …

"Best City to live in the world my ass!"

I threw the magazine away as I glanced up at the clock, I need to prepare soon. My carpool for work will arrive in an hour. Oh well… for the job that pays the rent. I sighed as I started to apply some ample amount of foundation on my face.

You know what I think about this city?

It's a farce!

Like make up, the government feeds the people outside of this country with sugar coated news, telling how people here enjoys privileges not offered in any other countries or how after college someone can easily find work in their choice of career, they even boasted about how this city is crime free!.

Lies…

Those are just blatant fat lies…

I threw the foam with justice and picked up my blush on.

Behind those tall skyscrapers countless of homeless people are striving just to make it through the day while the rich ones are busy ordering first class chardonay that can feed three families for a week!

Numerous job offers?

Then why is it that fresh graduates including me, are taking on jobs outside of my major just to pay their ridiculous amount of tax and tuition debts? I'm a frickin' meteorologist! Why the hell am I stuck working as a hostess in a shady bar.

Heh, I should've listened to my sister, lucky, she escaped this shithole earlier than me.

God! I messed up my frickin eyeliner…

I looked up at the clock, I still have time.

Now, what should I wear?

Hmmmm… well something long should suffice, C.O.P. (creepy old perverts )should not get their way with me. AH! This pretty red gown would do!

Only a few more minutes.

I took some orange juice from the fridge and looked at my current inventory. I should replenish some of my stock later tonight.

It's been 10 minutes since my usual carpool should've arrived. This was a first! I mentally noted. I wanna watch t.v. but its probably the same bullshit as always an maybe he's just running a little late tonight. The sound of the emergency siren from the municipal hall down the road surprised me. I immediately rushed to my window and awaited any further instructions, even if this city had withstood strong calamities like earthquakes and storms from before, it is still possible that the sea would swallow the whole place again in a blink of an eye.

The siren was still blaring but there was no further announcements. Normally, bells are used for fire, a song every 6 morning and afternoon finally, the siren was for a calamity. Then it stopped.

"Ara ? Could it be a technical problem?" I asked myself. I tried calling our driver but he didn't pick up. I didn't bother myself further and took my keys and bag with me. Walk to work it is.

Oddly, outside was very normal. There were still some cars going in and out of the street as well as an old man walking his dog. He bowed his head in greeting as I passed and did the same. There were many bad things about this city but there were some pretty good things as well, like this man right there.

The walk was quite far but not tiring, just a couple of blocks away from my neighborhood where I lived, I started moving cautiously, I had sudden feeling like I'm being watched, I turned around and look for anything suspicious, none. I picked up my pace and walked a little faster.

Just a little more till I reach the club.

I turned around the corner and then it struck me.

Today is a friday! At a time like this, lots of people from all over the city would've been looking for some entertainment! But not even a single soul was around.

There it is again. That feeling of being watched. I turned around and saw a man wearing a hoodie, standing from the other side of the street. Somehow my mind keeps telling me I should stay away. My brain doesn't have to say that again. That guy gives me the creeps!

I pried the tinted glass doors to the club open but it didn't open, I tried again a little bit harder but it looks like it was locked no― not locked, like something was holding it closed from the other side. I looked behind my back and saw that the figure was moving slowly towards my direction. I was panicking inside and decided that somewhere would be better than here. He was halfway across the street when I looked back, there was something really wrong with him.

Did I just hear him moan?

I walked away from the bar and started stalking off to a more brighter environment. I can still feel him behind me, my heels were giving a loud 'clack clack' as I started rushing towards the neon lighted street of the red light district. Out of impulse, I took a sharp turn into an alleyway, hoping that maybe― just maybe, he won't notice me.

And all of the best timing to trip…

I fucking tripped!

"DAMN IT!" I hissed as I threw my ruined high heels!

"Ugh…" I heard a rumbling unearthly growl erupt from my pursuer, My head shot up automatically as I saw the man's shadow towering over me, why is his mouth bleeding? And his eyes… there was something really wrong with his eyes.

I backed up slowly even though I know it was useless. I might die now, who knows…

Clang

BUT I WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!

To be continued…

… … … …

So there you have it guys! What do you think?
