They hummed along the streets; Azure's home was a few miles away from the school. The chaos had spread vapidly throughout the small town in which they all lived.
"The names Martinus Graus all my friends call me Martin but you can call me Bomb Nut, if you want." Martin introduced himself with an outrageous German accent (A.N. Try and imagine the accent.) Martin was the son of a German physicist, so Martin quickly learned to appreciate the beauty of high explosives. The only reason he had a roof over their heads was down to his Japanese mother, as she was able to bring the dynamic duo back to their senses with just a few choice words. Nonetheless father and son bonding moments, mercifully few and far in between, inevitably resulted in massive property damage. Martin often was forced to switch schools not because of bad grades or behavior but because he has a tendency to become⦠enthusiastic with the chemistry labs. So he was pretty new to the school.
"I'm Seipel Gael. I'm Irish, German, and Italian but born I was born in to meet you all." The new girl introduced herself, just as she did Martin noticed her weird gloves.
"Are those Claws." Martin pointed to her shinning metal gloves with long sharp claws protruding from the fingertips.
"I use them for bird watching." The girl answered quietly afraid of what everyone might think.
"Awesome. Are they some kind of alloy?" Martin examined the metal work.
"Anyway, I'm Souske Hitori but you can call me Azure. " Azure shook the scared boys hand and stopped before shaking the girls.
"Better not." He smiled down at the claws, she smiled back.
"I'm Sabrina Williams. Nice to meet you all." Sabrina smiled, they all refused to look outside. Refused to see human beings ripping one another apart.
Suddenly something smashed against the window, cracking the glass slightly."
Alex didn't turn around she was too busy dodging the creatures and abandoned cars. She didn't have the luxury of not looking at the cannibalism. Before her very eyes a mother dressed in white, tore the guts out of her own new born baby, as it cried she eat at its flesh.
"and the ray of sunshine driving is Alexandra Marley Cornwell." Azure introduced his companion; she didn't move she just kept driving. An unnoticed tear fell from her deep blue eyes.
A few minutes of silence later Alex finally spoke in a bland tone. "We're almost there." The bus had left the town and was now in the country side, it had been a while since they had last seen one of the creatures.
"Alex, stop." Azure stood up and the shaky bus.
"We're almost their ,we'll talk once we get there." Alex answered in a monotone voice, every since she shot the zombie earlier she had been quiet.
"Stop it now!" Azure ordered, Alex did as she was told and stopped the bus but she kept her hands on the wheel.
"I said stop it." He ordered her, she kept her eyes forward hands gripping tightly on the wheel.
"I... I can't." She was shaking tears were falling from her eyes. The suns bright hopehull beans penetrated the bus briefly as the wind moved the leaves on the overhanging trees.
" I'm sorry. I didn't realise...I shouldn't have used it." Azure apologised, behind him the three students exchanged confused glances. Azure held out the silver pistol.
"No. I wasted it, not you. Eleven years caring that thing around. I couldn't use it bitch." Alex scolded herself and took back her gun, but as she reached for it the other passengers noticed the steady flow of blood from both her hands. The hole journey they thought she was gripping the wheel tightly but in fact she was digging her own nails into the palms of her hands.
"Oh shut up and go sit down, I'll drive." Azure ordered her from the drivers seat.
"psh. I'll be damned if I'm going to survive those things and then get killed by your driving." Alex perked up.
"I can drive." Martin stepped forward and sat behind the wheel.
Alex and Azure sat down, Alex next to Seipel as she had offered to dress her wounds.
"You must all think I'm nuts." Alex said quietly. " I was just angry with myself." She looked at the confused faces of Seipel, Martin and Sabrina's faces. "I had a twin bother, Simon." She bite her lip slightly.
"Alex you don't have to." Azure tried to keep her calm by placing a hand on her still shaking leg.
"No, Its fine. Anyway, One night my parents left me and Simon in the care of our nanny." She kept her eyes look, unwilling to see judging eyes. None were watching her but she still didn't want to look.
"No-one knows the reason why but a man, a killer. Took a liking to the look of our home and decided to 'pay a visit'. Bang. He killed the nanny at the door. As his steps got closer and closer, Simon tried to act strong for me and stood protecting me. He killed Simon and badly injured me, he sat for hours cradling us in his arms waiting for the police or our parents to come. They never did, he got bored and left. Knowing I would survive he promised to 'see his little Rose Again'. Soon after my parents returned home, and a few days later we were in Japan. I made this gun." she pulled out the gun." and promised the first person I killed with it would be him." She began gently stroking the lettering. "This Rose Has Thorns." She read the lettering. "But I didn't ,I had a chance but I didn't and now I used it to kill a stranger."
"and I thank you for it, if you didn't shoot. Me and Azure would be zombie chowder." Sabrina tried to lighten the mood, she wondered if I would be ok to bring up her little brother and sister but she decided against it. After all it could get Azure in deep shit.
"Off we go." Martin started up the bus and they continued through the country side to what looked like a army base. Large strong brick walls with a thick metal gate, barbed wire topped the walls and a box to open the gate was just off the road.
"the codes 4937." Alex informed Martin and he keyed in the pass code as he leaned out the window.
The bus trudged up the drive way the iron gate slammed close behind them. Azure estate was huge, it even included a forest and a large pond. The house itself was more like a mansion, it was an old building with green veins climbing over most of the building.
"holy crap, your rich." Sabrina stated the obvious.
"yeah." Azure scratched his head nervously; no-one apart from Alex had seen his home. The exterior may have looked calm and tranquil with it intricate water features and Kio ponds but the interior was a completely different story.
The bus pulled to a stop on the gravel drive. They all sat nervously know there could be creatures lurking around the large estate.
"idea!" Alex slammed her banaged hand on the bus horn, the loud beep filled their ears. She held it for a few seconds.
"Are you insane." Sabrina grabbed her wrist pulling it from the horn.
"A little bit." She smiled, the groans of the creatures in the house could be heard.
"I'll be on the roof if anyone wants me." Alex smiled before getting out of the bus and elegantly pulling herself onto the top of the bus.
"That crazy bitch has a point, if we make noise all the creatures will come and we wont have to worry about them lurking around the estate." Seipel smiled flexing her gloved menacingly.
"We need weapons." Martin interjected, he had a point apart from Alex's gun, Seipel's gloves and Sabrina's stick they had nothing and even at that only one of them was an actually weapon.
"Weapons. Them we have plenty of." Azure smiled before too exiting the bus and heading to the stone wall.
The creatures groans grew louder and louder ,it was clear that it was more than just one or two zombies they were dealing with it was more like thirty or forty.
The sound made the brunette on the roof smiled with delight.
