Tick tock... Tick tock... Tick tock...
Time passes... As time passes, zombies increase. I stared at the wall clock for 10 minutes straight, my purple orbs never leaving the minute-hand of the clock. It was already 1:30 and all of us are now present in the living room, except for old man since he's busy taking his beauty sleep. Amy and Jin sure looked tired, as well as Ryan and Lire. The three couples are resting peacefully again here at the living room.
I decided to break the silence, telling Lass that we must find a clothing store. "How are we going to go there if the others are just sleeping in front of us?" he countered.
I sighed. I was expecting that answer from him. Elesis suddenly mumbled, "You two can go... We'll be fine here. Besides, we're all quiet. No zombie will get inside this place if the six of us are quietly sleeping." she opened her ruby eyes and looked at us.
"But-!" my sentence was cut off when Dio interrupted.
"Elesis do have a point. Don't worry, I'll guard this place while you two are out." Dio turned back and asked Mari if she'll go with me and Lass. She gave a nod and approached us. "Lass, make sure these two girls are safe. You're the boy anyway." the demon teased. I giggled softly as the silver-haired boy rolled his azure orbs.
Minutes later, the three of us are walking the snow-filled streets of Serdin City. The snow's falling continuously but slowly. I shivered from the intense cold, my teeth shaking. I heard Lass chuckle from my actions. I shouldn't had told him earlier that his clothes are very hot... "Ju-Just s-sh-shut you-your m-mouth L-Lass..." I shivered. If some stupid zombie horde sees us walking, then I'm having a hard time to cast my spell for Deep Impact.
"You shouldn't had picked on me earlier you know. Now look at you, you're freezing to death." he teased. If only I have the strength right now to smack my battle staff on his head, then maybe he'll shut his mouth for good.
We continued to walk under the deadly cold streets for 10 minutes then found an abandoned mall. Heh, memories... Memories of me and Elesis, Lire and Amy hanging at this exact mall when it's still alive, not like now, it's dead as well. I wonder if there's still some clothes left here at this place. My thoughts were cut off when Mari whispered something to us. "Be quiet... You guys hear that?" she looked around and listened intently.
Lass and I paid attention to our surroundings as well. We heard some loud moans inside the mall. I gulped and took my other staff from my bag. Got no choice but to make them crispy-zombie... We went inside further and the sounds increased. My eyes landed on a very familiar place when the mall's still alive: a coffee shop. Sigh, memories... That coffee shop was our very favourite place. I still remember the times when we're going home from school and our next stop's that place to hang out and talk together. Now, the shop's abandoned. It's front windows are broken, tables and chairs disarranged. Streaks of blood are painted on the wall... I miss this place so much. I felt some small tears forming in my eyes. I didn't even notice Lass was behind me to give me a hug, easing the tension building up inside me.
"Arme, don't cry. Remember what I said to you days ago?" he smiled and kissed my cheek. I smiled and wiped my tears away. Yeah, I remember it now. That thought flew away from my head then made me cry.
I smiled and faced him, hugging him back. "I'm sorry... It's just that... I remembered some memories of me and the other girls when we're hanging out in this place. Everything changed a lot..." I said softly, caressing his chest.
"You know, this is just a place. This place is dead but you're lucky your friends are still alive. It would've been more painful if your friends are dead instead of this place." he said. I faced the white floor, thinking over what he told me. Yeah, Lass' right. I rather lose this place than my friends. They're more special to me than this place.
I looked at him, smiling. "Thanks for what you've said Lass. You're right. I rather lose this than my friends. This is just a hang out place for us. It would've been worse if I'll hang out here alone without them." I chuckled. Lass bent down and gave me a kiss before hugging me again.
"Just remember: they'll always be at your side, whether they're dead or not." I smiled again. That's true. Mari interrupted us and said, "I think we better focus on our goal now. Why don't you two continue your sweet time later when we return back at the house?" I blushed and pushed myself away from the silver-haired boy, earning a chuckle from him.
"Y-Yeah. Let's go now." he said. I giggled and walked beside him. "Do you two know where the clothing store's located? We better hurry up since I hear some zombies running inside this place." I became nervous after hearing that. Wait... I'm a magician! Why couldn't I just perform a spell to teleport the three of us there at the clothing store? Man, I forgot about that...
Before I could tell them that I'll teleport the three of us to the clothing store, we suddenly saw a horde of zombies running in our direction. Sigh, there's no time to teleport... Magic will take effect after a few seconds and the zombies will tear us apart if we just stand in front of them while waiting for the magic to work. "Damn zombies..." Lass mumbled then took two pair of kunais then threw them at the direction of the undead. He continued to throw kunais while Mari took out her maverick and started to shoot the zombies.
"Ha! Stone Curse!" I have to apply that spell to take me some time to cast Air Blast. I moved my battle staff in a circle-like motion before shouting "Hya! Air Blast!" that spell's better than Lightning Bolt since it has a wider and longer range unlike Lightning Bolt. I aimed my battle staff straight forward and the spell lasted for 10 seconds. "Did we kill them?" I asked. Both gave a nod then we continued to walk forward. I couldn't perform the teleportation spell since I lost a good amount of energy.
Minutes of finding, we finally found the clothing store. It was dark inside and I have to grip my staff tightly to see if some zombie is walking behind me. If so, I could smack my staff very hard on its head until it lay down on the floor, dead on the spot. "Finally! I can hardly wait to go back home and take another warm bath!" I cheered then took some clothes for me to wear. Lass went to the counter to get some bags for us to place the clothes.
"Motherfucker!" he cried then took out his katana out of its sheath. He slashed something with dead speed. I could already see small specks of blood on his face. Looks like he just encountered a zombie doing 'play-dead'.
"Something wrong there Lass?" I asked.
"Yeah... I stepped on a stupid jerk. I almost fell when I saw the thing open its mouth but I managed to dash a few meters away when it raised his hand to get my feet." Lass frowned then went to get some bags. He returned, bringing along three bags for the three of us.
There was complete silence for 30 minutes as we looked at the clothes. After deciding what we'll get, we placed them all inside the bags and went out of the store. There was silence also when we exited the mall. After 30 minutes of walking under the deadly cold snow, we finally found our house and ran inside. "Warmth!" I cried as soon as I opened the door. I smiled as I sniffed the air. Something smells good. Amy must be preparing one of her specialties.
"Hi Arme! Good to have you three safe and sound!" Lire said happily as she gave me a warm hug.
I hugged her back as well. "Umm... Lire...? I want to apologize if the three of us are rude not to invite you and the rest to go shopping with us."
The blonde looked at me with wide emerald eyes. "It's ok Arme. Me and the others are very tired so it's our fault anyway, not yours. Don't blame yourself." Lire gave a warm smile.
I smiled back. Every since we met each other, she'd always been like that. So nice to others and a very helpful girl. I excused and went inside Lass' room. Once I entered his room, I found his shirtless, making me open my eyes wide. "Want to go take a warm bath?" he asked.
"That's what I'm thinking now." I said as I approached him to kiss him on the lips. The kiss became passionate and I felt him taking pulling up my shirt and throw it to the floor. I smiled and pulled down his pants as he did the same thing to my shorts. Now the two of us are only wearing our underwear. I blushed madly as Lass carried me bridal-style before walking towards the bathroom. Another pleasure time for both of us.
