*First POV*
Have you ever regretted messing with a ancient device that can summon people and send them back to where they came from, then drop in by accident and it fires at you and 3 others and your now in a world full of the undead?
That's just a me thing?
So to the people that have no idea what I'm talking about let me tell you.
I'm am a summoner from a world called Askr, a kingdom that is in between of other worlds that keep an eye on the other worlds in case someone would want to mess with the worlds.
Then...I don't really remember a lot about what happened next but I'll say this: I was forced into Askr, been given a gun that summons Hero's, had a battle with a girl with daddy issues, and now I'm now the Askr's summoner and tactician.
Now every once in a while I like to mess with the Breidablik to see if I can more with it then summon people and send them home, like when I had two Hinata's and I just pressed every button on the thing and a bright light hit them both and became one (Which now I think about it after putting that in sounded sexual :/ ) and gotten stronger.
This was another one of them times but I had three others with me and they were Donnel, Nino and Ninian.
We were looking over what other things the gun can do at the summoning stone when Nino, who was newly summoned at the time grab it and started pressing every button a little too hard.
I tried to get it back but Nino started running around with it, which made me, Donnel and Ninian to run after her incase she falls and it drops Breidablik down a cliff or something, when we heard shouting from the distance.
I grabbed Nino's hood to stop her but she lost her grip of the gun and it went flying right into the center of the summoning stone which caused the orb in the stone to crack!
Before I could say anything Ninian said something about sensing a dark energy and when Donnel went to pick up Breidablik it started to glow but it wasn't the normal bright glow it does before, this time the glow was dark and the gun was releasing some black sparks and before we could do anything black energy shot out of the gun and hit the four of us!
The pain I felt was indescribable.
It was like I was being stabbed by 20,000 lances and put on fire.
He must of been screaming from the pain because before my vision went dark I saw Alfonse and the others running towards up but before I could yell for help from everything went dark.
*Third POV*
"This one time my buddy Keith and I were outside during a rainstorm, trying to look for his watch, now you might say he could of just bought another watch but that watch was from is Pa and he was told to keep this close an-"
"Ellis, sweety I love your stories but can you tell us some other time?" A dark skinned girl said, looking over to the cap wearing young man who looked a little disheartened but he grinned at her and said 'Ok Ro' and over to a man wearing a suit.
The girl sighed as she tightened her grip with her hunting rifle, keeping an eye out incase a hunter or smoker sneak attacks them again "Them damn freaks are getting smart and I hate it." she says to herself when a dark skinned man walks next to her "You doing ok baby girl?" he says while holding a pump shotgun in both hands.
"*Sigh* I don't know Coach...have you ever have the thought that 'them' zombies are getting clever?" She says, putting more force on 'them' signifying about what she means, to which the man gives a mix of sad and scared look at her "...I did find it a bit odd that the puking fuck knew where we were going that one time…" he says while keeping a ear out for a puke sounding noise.
She was afraid of that.
The special infected have been a pain to deal with lately, to being able to predict where they going, dodging whenever they're being shot at and the biggest problem is them teaming up.
They could be planning something at this moment and the survivors wouldn't know.
As both dark skinned people caught up to the other two men they heard crying and stopped in their tracks.
"A Witch." The man in the suit said with venom in his voice as he got his Assault rifle ready to shoot, when the cap wearing man stopped him "Nick don't you remember what happened last time!" he said the older male, named Nick huffed and lowered his gun.
"Coach do you have shells left in that thing?" The girl said as the big guy, named Couch nodded as he pumped his gun.
*Click*
"Ready Rochelle!" Coach said as he neared the building where the crying was coming from.
Originally if they heard crying from the Witch and it wasn't blocking their way they'd just ignored it, but after they did that back in the swamp the next thing they knew the Witch came from behind and slashed the girls leg, almost tearing it off as they gunned it down.
She was lucky it healed but she still limping.
"You be careful in there Coach!" The young man, named Ellis said as Coach walked into the building, which was an abandoned clothes shop.
As he got near the crying he noticed that it was a little girls cry, but he dismissed it as he thought it was the Witch tricking him to make his guard go down.
He stepped over a fallen rack as he went to the direction of where the crying was.
He got to the back to the store over to a open storage door…
Where the crying was coming from.
As Coach got near door he aimed his flashlight down, so he didn't piss off the Special infected and slowly entered the storage door to kill it.
He slowly aimed his flashlight up to see where he was going when he noticed how much of a mess the room was, boxes everywhere with clothes on the ground (Did he just see a midnight riders shirt?) now since this is a zombie apocalypse it would make sense for the room to be a mess...but uselly there would be blood on the floor and walls and from what Coach can see with his light he can't see any.
The crying got louder as he walked past a bent clothing rake and then he saw something in the corner of his left eye.
Something...green.
Fearing that a Spitter was about to strike he quickly turned left and pointed his flashlight and shotgun at it…
Thank god he didn't shoot straight away.
What he saw was heartbreaken.
A young girl wearing strange looking clothes was sat on the floor, hands covering her face as she sob, at what he could tell fear as three other people with the same strange clothing were unconscious on the floor and with cuts all over their body's.
He was surprised the little girl was still conscious with the same cuts on her body.
As the girl continued crying the man slowly walked up to her, lowering his gun as to not scare her even more "...Hey sweetheart." he got a immediate reaction from her as the girl looked up, showing her unnatural green hair and light blue eyes that had pure fear in them "Are you ok?" he said, putting his shotgun on the floor so he can approve her.
That was a big mistake.
The girl gave a scared gasp as she started crawling backwards, which made Coach stop "It's alright I'm not going to hurt ya." as he said that the scared girl lifted up a shaking arm and while pointing whispered "Behind you…"
Coach knew what that meant and quickly spun around and was met face to face with…
A Witch.
*LOUD SCREECH*
"SHIT!" Screamed Coach as the Witch raised its clawed hand and quickly brought it down on him, which he quickly dodged and went to grab his gun only for the Witch ram him and marking them both fall to the floor with the Witch on top of him.
As that happened the Witch had a crazy grin as it raised both its arms, ready to kill the human below when something hit the back of its head and was caught off-guard, which gave Coach enough time to push the Witch off of him making it fall to the ground.
As that happened the Witch quickly stood up and saw the person that interrupt its killing, a little girl with a book in both hands shaking as she yelped and backed away, when the Witch was about to attack she was shot in the arm and was push back from the shot.
It almost forgot about the human she almost killed as he has pump shotgun back in his hands and was ready to shoot again.
It screamed as it made a break for it to the door, only for bullets to come flying right at it, piercing its body as it screamed again, this time in pain as the last shot got it in the head killing it and the Witch fall on the floor, unmoving.
"COACH!" Rochelle ran into the storage room in a hurry, thinking the worst has happened but relaxed as she saw Coach unharmed "Oh thank god your ok!" she said with relief in her voice, she walked over to hug him but stopped as she saw the young girl, her back against the wall with a book held tightly to her chest.
Before the woman can say anything she heard laughter coming from behind her "HAHAHAHAHAHA THAT WITCH NEVER SAW THAT COMING DID SHE!" the young man said almost falling over from laughing too hard as the suited man walks past him, with a annoyed look as he went over to Coach "You know next time you could stop thinking about them cheeseburgers for a second you could of gotten the freak." the man said with his shit eating smirk, to which the woman behind him smacking him in the back of the head "Knock it off Nick, we have a more pressing matter to handle." she says looking over to the scared girl and the three unconscious people.
Nick rolled his eyes as he looked over at the girl "..." his sharp eyes staring straight into the little girls as he walked over to one of the unconscious men, one with a hood up and kneeled down to get a closer look at the body "...How are still alive with this many injuries on them, you would think a inexperienced hunter got to them." he snarked as he lifted the hood up, showing that the person had light brown hair and a messy hair, to see if there were any more cuts.
Ellis was still laughing about the dead Witch but stopped when he saw what was happening, he looked over to Coach, then to Rochelle and then his eyes laid onto the little girl, who was shaking a little less but was still afraid, which he can't blame her for being scared.
He placed is Grenade Launcher onto the side and walked over to the girl "Heya tiny." he said in a cheerful tone, to which the girl looks over to him and he kneels to her eye level "Now don't ya worry, my friend Nick here knows how to help you and ya's friends" he says while Nick glares at him but doesn't say a word "and once he's done and when they wake up we can have a nice fun chat ok." he finishes with a smile as the girl stares at him for a few seconds and then gives a small smile.
Coach the decided to put his two cents into the mix with a smirk "I was almost minced meat if she didn't district the Witch by smacking it on the head with her book." he says as Rochelle gasped a little and looked over to the young girl, who looked away while blushing.
"While I'm all for being a happy group" Nick said sarcastically, standing up after looking over the body's "I'd like to know as to how it surprised attacked you without knowing." he spat out as he walked over to Coach while giving him a glare, to which Coach glared back "We all heard it crying from outside yet you had no idea as to where it came from!" he was now right at Coach's face but was pushed back by Rochelle.
"Now now Nick calm down, I'm sure there's a reason for tha-"
"Like hell there is!" He spat as he pushed the woman out of the way and then poked his finger right into Coach's chest "You have 5 seconds to explain or I'll-"
"It was me"
That made Nick shut up.
Everyone, apart from Coach turned to the little girl who had her head down "I...was the one that was crying…" she said as she hugged her book tighter "I was the one that distracted him...I was the one the one that almost got him killed...I was the one that...that…" tears started falling as the girl quietly sobbed, shaking again as the guilt washed over her...she almost got someone killed because of her she should be the one questioned not him!
As she was sobbing Rochelle put her hand where her heart is as she walked over to the girl and gave her a warm hug, shocking the girl "Its ok baby girl...you were scared." she said as Rochelle rubbed the girls back hoping that it might help her relax, which it kinda works as the the girl stopped crying but she was still shaking.
As this was happening Ellis turned to Coach with the same question on everyone's mind "Wait If the Witch was in the same room as you and her then...why didn't it do anything to them four then?" he said with worry in his voice.
Coach crossed his arms as he had a scared look on his face, almost like he didn't want to say it but it was Nick that said it "Because overalls 'them' infected are getting smarter!" he said looking over to Ellis, who had a shock covered all over his face.
"WHAT!"
"Well you keep it down Ellis!" Rochelle spat, glaring at him "Do you want a horde coming after us right now?!" she said as she saw Ellis cringe in fright and whispered a "Sorry" before turning back to the girl "Besides we need to find a save place for these people to rest properly." as she said that Coach pointed his flashlight to the right side of the room and saw a red steel door.
"Well I'll be damned." He said with a smile as he went over to it and unlocked it "Looks like we got lady luck by our side!" he joked as he opened the it, making sure it doesn't make any loud noises as it opened.
Ellis smiled as he took his hat off and scratched the top of his head "Damn...that sure is lucky." he laughed as he started walking over to the safe house when he felt a pull on his arm, when he turned to see what was up Nick was giving him an unimpressed look to which Ellis didn't get "What?" Nick face palmed as he threw one arm over to the three unconscious peoples.
"Unless you're expecting three knocked out people to magically teleport into the safe house then you're helping us carrying them into it!" He says as he pulls Ellis with him with Coach behind them, hand covering his mouth trying not to laugh with Rochelle rolling her eyes with the girl giving a confused look.
"You'll get used to this type of behaviour...um…" It then hit her that they don't know the little girls name and felt a little embarrassed "Sorry...what is you name?" Rochelle asked the girl as they start walking over to the safe house with the three men, who are carrying her friends.
The girl looked over to her knocked out friends and back to Rochelle, who was looking at her with concern and warmth…
Like her Mother use to-
She shakes her head and tries to forget her.
She looks over to the woman with a smile.
"My name is Nino!"
