Chapter 2: Path to Darkness

"It's getting colder." Zero whispered, rubbing his arms to get some warmth. 'Hopefully it won't rain' he thought, the skies were cloudy but the moon still shone through. It definitely helped him to see where he was going as the streetlights were not working.

"They really need to fix those lamposts - huh? What's that...music?"

Zero turned to where the sounds were coming from, it seemed it came in the direction of a spooky-looking forest. The wind blew against him, causing a cold shiver down his spine. It really would be stupid of him to go towards it but the song...the song brought a sense of nostalgia, as if he heard it in a dream, once upon a time ago.

"No. I'm not going, I will ignore it and carry on. I refuse to be like a ditzy character in a horror movie who was too curious for their own good. Yeah, not happening." With that said, he continued on walking, trying his best to ignore the beautiful melody that invoked memories he'd rather forget.

The further he went the harder it was to block out the haunting music, cursing he turned around to glare at the tall trees with it's swaying branches, an ominous feeling permeating from the dark forest certainly didn't make him want to move any closer.

"Fuck it. If someone tries to jump me I'll fight back, I didn't learn those martial arts lessons for nothing."

Zero narrowed his eyes and marched towards his possible doom, he couldn't help but think a tiny bit of pessimism.

Passing the barrier and into the unknown, he followed the sound to it's probable location. Closer than ever, he heard the music clearly as he stepped around the oak trees and through thorny bushes to see a spacious area.

Under the moon's glow the grass were coloured turquoise; flowers of blue and purple dotted the clearing. As the music played on, Zero wondered why he could still hear it. He was sure this was the spot, something definitely wasn't right here; just as he turned he bumped into what appeared to be a solid wall that came out of nowhere or that's what he thought.

Because of it's suddeness Zero began to fall backwards, but before he could land on the ground he stopped mid-air, a stranger's arms wrapped loosely round his waist and an unfamiliar face in his personal space.

'His eyes...they're kinda red? Huh, they're pretty wicked looking. I wonder where he bought those contact lenses from.' Zero pondered, not at all bothered being held in this person's arms. He probably should be, but he was more interested in why this guy was here and why the music he heard earlier faded.

"Are you alright?" The brunet asked Zero, his arms bringing the younger male to stand properly yet did not let go, in case Zero needed to be caught again.

"Uh, yeah I'm fine. You just startled me that's all." Zero replied, his gaze captured with the other's own; he watched as those burgundy eyes darkened into some unknown emotion before it disappeared.

"Forgive me for startling you, I didn't mean to intrude so suddenly. I was lead here by a curious scent." Said the taller male, pulling Zero to his chest.

Zero was confused, before he could questioned the brunet he heard a rumbling noise behind him. Turning around within the stranger's grasp, Zero gasped as he stared wide eyed at the disfigured bodies of flesh? He didn't know what the hell those things were, heck, he wasn't sure if what he's seeing was real.

'I knew I should've kept walking, fucking fuckshit in a doggie bag!' Zero mentally shouted...he tended to say weird stuff when in precarious or dire situations, like right now.

"Well fuck me! What are those things!?" The silverette managed to spit out, absolutely disgusted at the sight.

"Maybe later when there isn't an audience, right now we should leave before more of them spawn." The stranger amusedly drawled, Zero blinked, wondering what the brunet meant by that when it finally clicked. He blushed and began cursing the taller guy; the brunet only smirked then quickly lifted Zero bridal-style, once again surprising the silverette.

"Hn, you're quite light for a male...you sure you're not a girl?" The strange man teased Zero (who was still blushing), the silverette frowned at the chuckling guy holding him.

"Yes I'm male you goddamn fucker, and let me go! I don't need you carrying me like some damsel in distress, I'm perfectly capable of standing!" Zero argued, forgetting for a moment that the growling creatures were inching nearer to them.

"No can do princess, this way is better. Plus I don't want to see you hurt yourself." The brunet smiled brightly at the boy in his arms.

"What the fuc-"

Bending his knees slightly whilst holding Zero tightly, the mysterious brunet dodged to his left as one of grotesque beings swiped its claws at him before another joined in to attack but was kicked in the head by Zero.

"Nice." The older man smirked, avoiding a few hits from the deformed creatures. Zero rolled his eye's, kicking once again at the creeps whenever they got too close.

"Just get us out of here, you bastard."

"My parents were married when they had me, I'm quite sure they didn't name me bastard." The taller male said, raising an eyebrow at Zero who glared back.

"I. Don't. Care. Get me away from these things or you'll end up with no balls." Zero threatened the burgundy eyed stranger, who stared at the silverette with a "You're joking right?" expression.

"My, my...you're a feisty one. Your angelic looks certainly don't match your devil-like attitude. How interesting." The brunet added, taking a couple steps back he did a running jump; high into the air with no gadgets aiding him, a feat no normal human is capable of doing. The mysterious male hopped from one tree to the next.

Below the creatures were seen but they could not keep up to speed with Zero and his mystery partner; the silverette knew he should be freaking out. He saw monsters that shouldn't be alive, were they zombies? And the guy who's holding him while traversing upon the tree tops was possibly, mostly likely a supernatural being because no human he knew or heard of could do this.

'He's not human. I'm not dreaming. Fuck me all the way, I don't know why my night turned out like this.' Zero moaned in despair, he should've asked the librarian for a ride home.
