Girl sat in the rain, looking down at a wedding scene. There was a corpse in front of the altar, wearing a torn white dress. Girl guessed it was a witch from what the local infected said.
Craze hopped over to her. "The infected say they saw an angry looking hunter run around but they don't know where he went." He said. "I'm guessing the angry hunter might be Boss."
Girl sighed. "He's goneā¦It's all my fault." She mumbled. She still blamed herself. If she hadn't had mistaken Boss for Alpha, then he would still be with her. How could she have been so stupid? Such a small mistake made such a big difference.
"It's not your fault." Craze said. He hopped passed the witch and under the altar. "Come on. We're going to find him."
Boss followed Lux up the hill. The humans were inside a small building, Boss could hear them talking.
"Well why don't we go in there?" Boss asked as he walked up to the door.
Lux sighed. "The humans built this so we can't get in." She said. She walked up the door and clawed it. "See, no damage. We have to wait for them to come out on the other side."
"What if they don't come out?" Boss asked. "Why would they if they are safe?"
Lux sighed. "They don't have food in there. Even if they did, it doesn't last forever. They also want to 'escape' us. I doubt they will. We've spread so far from where we originally were." Lux said and hopped on the roof of the safe house. "I was in the area where the flu broke out. I guess I was one of the first humans to turn." She shrugged. "Not like it matters."
Boss nodded and then hopped up with her. He looked over and saw the humans were shooting outside the door at common zombies. He smirked. Common were so dumb.
Across the way a little, he saw zombies everywhere were taking place. A smoker was on the closest roof, a jockey was behind some bushes, and a spitter was on a roof a little farther away. Boss could hear a charger but he couldn't see it.
Then there was the sound of metal clanking and the door swung open. One human stepped out, looked around and then signaled for the rest of its pack to follow. Once they got close to the main entrance of the park, the smoker snared one and then the jockey hopped on another. The other two scrambled around in a temporary confusion but then the spitter spit acid all over them. One male human screamed while the other said loud, angry, vulgar words. They quickly scrambled to save their friends but before one could shoot the jockey, the charger came through and attacked the human.
Lux snickered. "Easy meal." She said and crouched down, ready to attack the one human who was not being attacked by a zombie.
The human ran over to its friend being snared and pushed free of the tongue. Lux screamed and attacked the human who was snared earlier, causing the other one to go tumbling back.
"My time to shine." Boss mumbled and then leapt out at the human. He landed and pinned the human down, only moments later he was pulled off. He snarled as the human got up and shot at him. He yelped when he got shot but then broke free of whatever was holding him and hopped back over the building he was on earlier.
He heard loud, rapid gun shots and then silence. Were the humans dead? He peered over the building and saw the one human left was helping its pack get up. Before Boss could leap again, the human got one human up, the one Lux was on.
Boss widened his eyes. Where was Lux? He quickly scanned the area and once the humans moved, he saw Lux's limp body lying on the floor.
The humans then killed the charger and got that human up. The jockey was nowhere to be seen but the human he was riding was lying on the ground in pain. The humans helped their pack mate up, and then quickly moved away and out of sight.
Boss hopped over to Lux. She was lying on the ground, dead. Boss sighed. Now who was going to teach him the ways here? He scratched his head and looked over to where the humans had disappeared. Did he still want to go after them? This was the most organized attack he had ever seen zombies do and they hadn't even planned it before hand. Yet the humans managed to escape it still. They were dangerous, that was for sure.
Boss jumped when he felt a hand grab his arm. He looked over and saw it was Lux who grabbed him. "B-b-but how?" He asked, utterly confused at how she was still alive.
Lux smiled. "Rule number two. When there is no escape, play dead." She chuckled and then hopped on the roof that the smoker was on. "Where is that smoker?" She mumbled. She looked around and sniffed the roof for a while. She obviously wanted to find the smoker.
"Why do you want him?" Boss asked as he hopped up next to her.
"He ruined the plan. I'm going to kill him." Lux said and turned to Boss. All the kindness Boss had seen earlier was gone. She looked cold-hearted and cruel. Evil was more like it.
"How?" Boss managed to say, even though he was in shock by her sudden anger.
"He pulled you off that last human. We would have got them if it weren't for that." Lux snarled, furious at the stupidity of a smoker. She looked scary.
Boss turned as he heard coughing. It didn't sound like the kind you get when you get a tickle in throat, it sounded fake, like they wanted to get Boss's and Lux's attention.
"I'll have you know it was your dumb pet's fault that we lost them." The smoker said to Lux. "I was going for the kill but then he pounced on him so I hit him instead. I didn't realize until it was too late."
Lux growled. "You should have known!" She said, now standing up. "Doesn't he taste different?" She asked snottily.
The smoker huffed. "Lux, you never change. For one, I can't taste. You know that. For two, he's the new one here, you should just kill him, there'll be plenty more hunters later. Ones less stupid at least." He said, glaring at Boss.
"I'd watch it if I were you." Boss growled. He stood up and clenched a fist while taking a step towards the smoker.
"Oh what are you going to do? Pounce me?" The smoker asked. "Newbie, I've fought stronger hunters then you and won."
"Cig, shut up." Lux said to Cig, the smoker. "He's new, don't taunt him."
Cig laughed. "I'll taunt him all I want. If it wasn't for him, Overalls would still be alive." He said pointing to the dead charger. "I think the humans got Rider too. I haven't heard any laughter." Cig said and coughed. Rider must be the Jockey.
Lux growled. "May I remind you that you once had another smoker under your wing? Where is he now? Oh yes, dead. I'm not letting that happen to Boss."
Cig snorted then laughed. "So you have a name huh? Which pack were you in? The fierce fighters?" He asked and then laughed more. This smoker was an ass.
Boss growled and took and another step closer to Cig. He was getting on Boss's nerves real fast. Before Boss could even raise his hand, Cig snared him and then threw him off the roof and onto the ground.
Lux immediately leaped next to Boss, who was dazed and dizzy from the fall.
"Teach him well Lux. He won't survive if he picks fights he can't win." Cig said. "You'll have to teach him to get rid of that attitude. He thinks he's strong. He's not." Cig chuckled then hopped away and out of sight.
Boss sat up, rubbing his head. "Damn, he's fast." Boss mumbled.
Lux shook her head. "No, you're slow." She said. She had no kindness in her voice. She sounded angry even. "He's right. You think you're strong but you aren't. Just because you were the strongest where you came from, doesn't mean you are here." Lux said. She stood up and looked at Boss, who was still on the ground. "You have so much to learn. But it will be impossible to teach you anything with your current attitude." She growled.
Boss frowned. "There isn't anything wrong with my attitude." Boss growled.
Lux growled and slashed Boss's face. Boss snarled and then leapt at Lux. Lux easily dodged to the left and then punched him in the side, sending him flying to the ground.
"See this is what I mean." Lux said as she stared at Boss who was growling. "You can't just attack someone if they make you mad. They won't back off like they did before." She said as she grabbed Boss's jacket and pulled him to his feet. He held his side in pain but Lux kept talking. "Your personality makes your attitude and vice versa. You come out here with a conceited and cocky attitude. Because of that, your personality is brave and proud. You don't like to be shoved down and put in place. You want to be the boss, which is where I'm guessing your name came from. I only want to change your attitude but in order to do that; I might end up changing your personality. I don't want to change the brave part, a coward gets nowhere. But your pride needs to go."
Boss looked down. Everything she's saying is true.
Lux sighed. "I'm not going to be nice; no one else will ever be nice to you. This isn't a pack area. No one wants to be in a pack. It's all individual. I'll still be kind once in a while but not until after I put you in your place. If I don't you'll get killed in an instant." She said and then punched Boss's side.
Boss growled and fell over in pain. He looked up at Lux who was frowning at him. "Rule number three, never show pain. It shows you're weak."
Author's Note: So here is the next chapter! I hope you all like it. If anyone had ideas for future chapters, be sure to share. I've been really busy lately with school back in and everything so the next chapter may take a while. There is so much I would like to say about my newest important character, Lux, but I would end up spoiling a lot. (I do have other new characters but they aren't as important.)
