apples

'Apples…

Why do I taste apples?

I'm I supposed to apples?

I am dead right?'

Was I dead or still apart of the living?


"Ow," I felt my head been giving a good shot of pain as I grabbed my head and got up from off the floor.

'Fuck me that hurts...wait'

Opening my eyes I looked around expecting a light to be met with but I didn't expect what looked like a basement.

'The hell I set off the ARK's core how am I not dead and How the bloody hell did I get here?!'

Getting off the floor I looked around, this wasn't one of the ARK's lower decks and were the hell was I. So many questions buzzed through my brain as tried to gather my bearing, as I held my head again.

*groan*

My body went into autopilot as I turned around with my trusty plasma cutter in hand pointing to where the groaning came from as I saw the shadow of a man in the darkness of this basement. My flashlight on my tool lit up the shadow reviling a human! but something was off about him grey skin even with his back to me he wasn't right in any way.

"Hey," I spoke at the humanoid.

He turned to me then I saw it, jaw wide open reviling a blood filled maul, and pure dead white eyes as It groaned slowly walked over to me. This wasn't a nercomorph it was way too slow but with my tangle with dead before I didn't hesitate I fired a wave of hot plasma that sliced though the flesh of the dead creature's arm into two. Not effected I aimed and fired off its other arm but it still walked over to me as it dragged it's foot behind him, usually cutting off two limbs would kill a nercomorph but this dead creature still came at me even though it was armless. Pointing my weapon I fired at the neck slicing its head off this caused the body to stop moving as it fell to it's knees dead, still pointing my weapon at the body to see it would mutate. Lightly kicking the body, nothing the creature was dead but I wasn't taking any chances I began to slam my foot down on the body till it was a bloody plop.

"Why does this happen to me everywhere I go the dead are always to spoon out my brains," My muffled voice spoke though the quiet space.

Looking around I found my a stair case and going up it I found a door and opened it and into what looked like a hallway filled with old fashion lockers and other old looking school equipment the hell was I.

'Wait it that sun light?'

Turning down the hallway I saw a row of windows down the hall as I slowly walked over to the window as I saw it, REAL sun light something I haven't seen in so long and miss with blue sky and green fields of grass was I on earth but...The brother moons! Didn't they destroyed all this? How did I get back way is everything so different? More questions buzz but a girl screaming broke me from my trance. Running down the hall I entered a room what looked to be a med-bay. when I saw it a woman was being attack by the dead, NO I WASN'T GOING TO LET ANYONE ELSE DIE WHEN I CAN HELP THEM DAMMIT! Running to the dead walker I knocked her out of the way I gun whipped my plasma cutter on the creatures head causing the head to be crush from the weight and force killing the monster as its blood staining my white armor even more with infected blood. Stepping front of the woman defensibly with my plasma cutter at the ready at the undead.

"Are you alright?" I asked as I turned to her.

The woman looked at me and MY GOD! My nose began to bleed under my helmet as I held my face plate at her...bust fuck is that even normal! Besides me drowning in my own blood she nodded her head at me as I nodded back and let my helmet open up slightly causing my blood to pour onto the ground as I put it back on and turned to the things in front of me as I pointed my plasma cutter ready to kill them.

"stay behind me," with my finger on the trigger as the dead walked to me.

Before I could fire a round a girl with purple hair came at the dead with a wooden sword smashing their heads in with one swift blow, as more blood was flung onto my armor.

'Damn,'

With the sight whimpers of pain coming from my left I turned to see a guy bleeding from his should, I knelt down to his level and checked on him.

'That looks back I might have something to fix that,'

Being bite wasn't fun even by a necromorph it hurt like hell but some med kit bio gel does wonders I barely have a scar where it was, Taking off my pack I opened it up looking though it for a med kit. The purple girl knelt down to the boys level and placed a hand on her shoulder as she introduced herself to the wounded.

"I'm captain of the kendo club Saeko Busujima a sophomore whats you name kid," She asked the kid.

the kid while coughing up blood tried to say his name, ishe kasu.

Placing a hand on his other shoulder I lightly shook him.

"Don't worry Ishe I have you patched up in no time," Letting him go I grabbed a med kit and was about to treat him but saeko stopped me.

"Ishe I commend you courage for protecting doctor shizuka but you do know what happens when you bitten, I don't think you family and friends would like to see you like that. I will make you death swift and painless as I can if you say no," I looked at her in shock but it was a minor dead it could have infected him could it?

The kid choked but he wanted to die, placing the medkit back in I got up with the girl as I placed the pack back on my back.

"Wait-" the doctor tried object but I held out my hand to stop her.

"Sorry ma'am its too late for him I'm afraid," turning to saeko I nodded as she ready her weapon.

"Thank you friend, doctor you must not worry this young man will die with honor and I'm going to make sure that he does," I grabbed the nurse and turned her away from what was about to happen to the young man.

...

Blood splatted over the window as she killed the boy swiftly with a blow to his head, the nurse didn't see it but she knew what happened as I held her to comfort her as I hushed her down. But the other door to the room broke down letting more of THEM in.

"Shit we have to go!" I told them.

Ready my plasma cutter as saeko ready her weapon at the dead, I didn't know it then but life has a funny way of making you meet your closest friends.
