Zoey tried not to giggle as she snuck up on an unsuspecting Rythian who was flipping through the pages of his spell book.
"BOO!" She screamed grabbing his sides.
Rythian nearly jumped out of his skin, dropping his book and yelling.
"God Zoey don't do that to me!" He panted.
"Hahahahaha! I scared you!"
"You most certainly did not!"
"Yes I did."
"No you didn't."
"Admit it Rythian I scared you!"
"Alright, you may have gotten me this time." He began turning around, towering over the redhead. "But mark my words, I will have my revenge on you Zoey Proasheck. And it will be very, very sweet."
"Oh whatever!"
"You doubt me?"
"I'll totally see it coming!"
"You'll never see it coming. I can promise you that."
"Alright. Now go back to your spells Ryth."
"I will."
The sun was setting when Zoey was finishing band rehearsal.
"Alright! Good jam sesh guys! Same thing next week." She said walking away. She
went over to Rythian who was studying thuamcraft.
"Hey Rythy." She said hugging him from behind.
"What Zoey?" He growled.
"You're not still mad about earlier are you?"
"No.." He started turning around to face her. "I've just got a seriously bad headache." The bags under his eyes and his sickly complexion showed he wasn't lieing.
"Gee Rythian you feeling okay?" She said placeing the back of her hand onto his forehead. "You're burning up!"
"Am I?"
"Yeah! Do you want some water?"
"Couldn't hurt." Zoey ran off to get him a glass.
"The suns setting, mobs will start spawning soon." She said as she returned. "You should get some rest."
"I'm fine." Rythian replied after chugging the entire glass.
"C'mon you need some sleep."
"I'm fine Zoey, don't worry about me."
"Fine, but when you get mauled by zombies I don't want to hear it." She joked planting a kiss on his cheek. "Goodnight enderhunk."
"Goodnight Zoey."
It was the middle if the night when Zoey was woken up by a crashing sound.
She sat straight up in her bed, worried. Zoey got out of her bed. "Rythian? You ok?" She turned around to see him. He was quite the sight for sore eyes.
Half of his face was torn open, revealing already rotting open flesh that dripped down his chin. He had a large swollen bite mark of purplish bluish colors on his neck. His clothes were torn to shreds, and he was covered in bloody gashes, the most prominent one being a slice from his left shoulder to his right hip. It oozed a strange mixture of blood and some sort of green sludge. Zoey was horrified.
"Rythian… you're.. you're faking it. You've got to be faking it!"
But the zombiefied Rythian continued to limp towards her, gurgling and moaning. Zoey was slowly backing up, right up until she hit the wall and couldn't go any further.
Rythian was so approaching, slowly but surely, and Zoey had no way out.
Right as he pinned her against the wall she heard, "Boo."
