AN: This is my first Izombie fic so please be nice. I don't own any of the characters though I wouldn't mind owning Blaine. (smile) Astrid is my character, and she is one of my favorite OC's that I have ever come up with. So with this please enjoy the first installment of Zombie Angel.
Chapter 1-Run about Town all the way Around-
The rain was falling hard as Astrid watched out the passenger window of her cousins car. "Liv where the hell are you taking me again?" Liv looked at her her dark eyes alit with laughter. " Its a surprise, today is your birthday." "You know I don't like surprises, so why are you taking me to a surprise?" Astrid laughed. " Oh come on Astrid just indulge me just this once." Liv pleaded.
Astrid looked back out the window with a smile. Olivia Moore was her favorite cousin, and her only family member that believed that Astrid had changed her life for the better. Astrid as a teenager had been bounced around from family member to family member, and had gotten into drugs. Now at the age of 25 and clean, the only family member that trusted and believed Astrid had changed was Olivia. Astrid had moved in with Liv a week ago after some disastrous incident with her old room mate. Liv didn't tell Astrid much about what happened with the girl that Liv called a red headed tramp and Astrid was afraid to ask. She had to admit though that her cousin was very different from the last time she had seen her years ago. Her hair was short and so light it was almost white, her skin was very pale and she hardly ate anything around Astrid. And when she did, funny enough, she doused it in hot sauce.
"Astrid you okay?" Liv asked pulling Astrid from her thoughts. "Huh? Yeah Im fine, I was just thinking." Liv drove into the parking lot of the police station and parked the car. " We just have to make one stop first, Ravi called this morning and asked me to stop by." Liv explained as she unbuckled. Astrid unbuckled. "Its cool, I always found your job interesting." They both got out of the car and headed inside.
"Ravi?" Liv called as she examination room, with Astrid following after her. Ravi looked up from doing an autopsy on a new arrival. "Oh good Liv your here. Hi Astrid!" Astrid smiled at Ravi. "I Ravi, beautiful day isn't it."
Ravi laughed as he removed his gloves. "Yeah I just love the rain." Astrid jumped up and sat on the free examination table as she watched Ravi and Liv. "So Ravi whats up?" Liv asked.
"Um we have a problem." Ravi said handing Liv a piece of paper. Liv looked at it and and Astrid could physically see her body tense. "This can't be right. How many times did you run the test?" Liv asked. " As many times as was possible, and each time I got the same result." Astrid couldn't take it anymore she had to ask. " Guys whats wrong?" Liv and Ravi looked at her as if they had forgotten she was there. "Um Astrid, would it be okay if we post-pone your birthday surprise?" Liv asked. "Sure, but guys whats wrong?" "um we've been trying to figure out a way to cure the side affects of a drug and we hit a wall.'' Ravi explained. "what drug?" Astrid asked. "Its called utopium, its highly lethal." Liv answered. Astrid jumped down off the examination table her long black hair falling down her back. "Well it sounds lethal."
"You can take the car back to our place if you want, I can get a ride home with Ravi." Liv offered. "I guess I'll do that, I can give Peyton a call and see if she wants to hang out." Astrid said. Liv handed Astrid the car keys and gave her a hug. "Be careful okay?" Astrid nodded. "I will." She walked over and gave Ravi a hug. " I'll see you later Ravi, I hope you guys can figure out something for that drug." Ravi hugged her back. "Thanks Astrid."
As Astrid left the examination room she was digging in her purse to make sure she had her house key when she ran into someone. Startled she dropped her purse and the contents scattered everywhere. "Damn it!" Astrid yelled. She looked up at the person she ran into and about choked. He was in her opinion the hottest guy she had ever seen. He was a couple inches taller than her, his eyes were a light blue, his hair was cut short and a very light blonde almost white. He wore a black button up shirt, and black jeans. "Umm Im sorry, I should have been watching where I was going." Astrid stammered. The guy smiled and Astrid felt like her heart was pounding so hard it would pop out of her chest. "No Im sorry, It was my fault." He said kneeling down and picking up the stuff that fell out of Astrids purse. Astrid quickly knelt down and gathered her stuff and shoved it in her purse. "So tell me beautiful what is your name?" the guy asked handing her her stuff. Astrid took the stuff, and she could feel herself blushing. "Um my name is Astrid Moore."
"Oh are you related to Olivia Moore?" The guy asked interested. "Yeah she is my cousin. Whats your name?" "My name is Blaine, Im an acquaintance of your cousins. We work together from time to time, she never told me about you…" Astrid laughed. "She's never told me about you either." "Well it was nice meeting you, I hope we get to meet again soon Astrid." Blaine smiled. "Like wise Blaine, don't be such a stranger." Astrid said as she headed for the stairs. Little did she know that she just put in motion the gears to a very dark path…
_Next time in Zombie Angel_
"Why didn't you tell me Liv?! Did you not trust me?!" Astrid cried. Liv looked at her torn. "I wanted to keep you safe from this! This isn't something I want for you!" "Then let me ask you, who all knows?" Astrid shot back. Liv was quiet for a moment. "Does Ravi know?" Astrid asked. "Yes, he knows and so does Major and Peyton." "They know?! And you couldn't tell me!? Liv Im your cousin, I tell you everything about my life. I have no secrets from you! And you where keeping the fact that your a zombie from me!" Astrid yelled. Liv walked over to her and tried to calm her down but Astrid pushed past her to the door. "Where are you going?" Liv asked. "Out." Astrid snapped as she slammed the door closed behind her.
