The twins sat against rails of the guard tower, waiting for the game to end. Lucy clutched her purse tight while occasionally looking over the rails, wondering if the zombies below could see her. Kevin was occasionally firing at random zombies, but they always respawned behind the fence. Kevin stood his sister up.
"Sis, relax, we gotta be like 20 feet up or higher, they can't reach us." said Kevin
"I'll believe that after we're out of here" said Lucy
"Give me your purse, I want to switch weapons" said Kevin
"No way, if we need to fight we must save ammunition, even laser blasters have ammunition you know" said Lucy
"You have a lightsaber, you're really worried about ammunition?" Asked Kevin
"I forgot it at home ok?" Asked Lucy
Kevin reached for the purse but Lucy slapped away his hand. Kevin tried to snatch the purse away from Lucy, but she was stronger than she looked as she was able to hold it back. Lucy almost fell off the railing, and her purse slipped off her shoulder, hitting a zombie in the head. The purse killed the zombie, but that was the least of Lucy's concerns. She gave an angry glare at Kevin.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't push you off that railing right now" Lucy told Kevin angrily
"If I can't retrieve it from that horde I'll buy you a new one and replace anything that's inside" said Kevin
"I'll send you the bill if it comes to that. That blaster you're holding, is that really our only weapon?" Asked Lucy
"I have 2" said Kevin
"How many rounds left in them?" Asked Lucy
Kevin checked the blasters.
"Maybe 100 blasts left. Sis don't worry they can't-
A zombie in police riot gear burst through the stairway door and approached the twins. While it's face was covered and it couldn't bite the twins, that didn't make it any less deadly.
"I stand corrected" said Kevin
"JUST SHOOT THAT THING!" Lucy shouted angrily
Kevin fired his blaster at the head but it didn't do anything. He fired a couple more but only managed to get the helmet off.
"Give me that"
Lucy snatched the blaster and fired a few rounds in the head, killing the zombie for good.
"That takes care of that." Said Lucy
"Hey sis look, there's player controlled characters over there"
The twins looked towards a basketball court and saw a first person shooter shooting arrows at propane tanks and blowing up zombies. The shooter was with a woman, and they were chasing someone. They were nearing the tower.
"You need to block the entrance. Take out the tower"
"Sis, we have to jump" shouted Kevin
"What?" Asked Lucy
She didn't have time to react. A propane tank was thrown towards the tower. The twins jumped off the tower just as the tank was shot, blowing up the tower and blocking the entrance. Kevin hit the first person shooter by accident.
"Ow, sorry" said Kevin
"Hey who's that kid? Never seen him before"
"Must be a new upgrade or something"
Kevin turned to his sister who was struggling to get up. A flaming zombie was crawling towards her
"No, stay back, stay back"
The zombie climbed on top of her and bit a chunk of flesh off her arm. Kevin had never heard his sister scream in pain like this ever in his life. Kevin kicked the zombie off his sister and shot it in the head. He helped Lucy up and glitched himself and Lucy as far as he could close to the games entrance.
"Lucy are you alright? You've been bitten. This isn't good, you're infected"
"Kevin, I need to get back home, I have a cure for zombie bites" said Lucy weakly
"You do?" Asked Kevin
"I've always seen things like this coming, I have cures for a lot of things, I have a journal in my lab you can look at later if you want. I had a vial of the cure in my purse just in case but no way I'm getting that back. I need to get home as quickly as possible" said Lucy
Kevin held Lucy and glitched out of the game while Lucy held her wound. She was slowly getting weaker, she was growing more infected by the second. Kevin was panicking, he was glitching himself back home as fast as he possibly could. He finally made it home with Lucy in tow. She went through the doors and ran past her father
"Lucy what happened to you?" Asked Rancis worriedly
"No time, I need my zombie bite cure quickly" said Lucy as she rushed for an elevator
"Zombie bite?" Asked Rancis
"Long story, not my fault, someone snuck in the arcade" said Kevin
Lucy reaches an elevator and headed for the sub levels. She was growing weaker from the infection, any minute now she was going to die. After reaching her floor, she went to her lab and entered the password. She went inside towards her desk. Inside a red case were glass bottles of cures for different video game related diseases and other stuff. She grabbed the zombie bite cure, but she was too weak. She dropped the bottle, it smashed into the ground. Lucy collapsed, she had succumbed to her infection. For a few minutes, she lied still, her body was dead.
But in a moment, her eyes opened, all pale in color. She was back from the dead, but not exactly the way one would want. She growled and limped towards the open door, she was hungry.
To be continued...Eventually
