Chapter Eleven
I almost lost her again.
I knew I couldn't let her die.
With a big group of zombies standing by the door just waiting for me to fight, I had no choice but to get rid of them.
I carefully lied Phoebe on the ground and I walked over to the zombies.
"Leave now," I said.
The zombies hissed and stumbled away
I walked back over to Phoebe and picked her up.
She defiantly had a fever.
I carried her outside.
I looked up at the beautiful night sky.
Stars flooded the darkness above.
I knew I would miss this marvelous world when I had to return back to Hell.
"You're lucky, Phoebe. You're lucky that you still live on this planet still. I miss it a lot," I said.
I spread out my wings and flew off into the clouds.
Even though Phoebe lived in the city, the sky was so clear now that zombies existed. They smashed out the light bulbs in every streetlight because light frightened them.
I didn't know where I was going to go. I just flew. I didn't know how to save Phoebe.
Then I remembered Fred.
Fred the "mad scientist" would know exactly what to do.
Scientists are like doctors…right?
I flew even faster to Fred's laboratory.
When I finally got there, I walked right in the door without bothering to knock.
I saw several humans sitting on furniture and watching television.
One girl screamed really loudly and annoyingly.
I flinched at the sound.
"You!" I heard someone yell.
I saw my brother run over to me.
He punched me in the face.
I felt my spikes rise out of my arms and spine.
My claws on my fingers and toes lengthened.
My blood boiled. My eyes most likely changed colors from being yellow, to a dark orange color.
My teeth turned into fangs and I felt ready to attack at any second.
I think maybe one of my claws or spikes got Phoebe, who still lied motionlessly in my arms.
She woke up and scratched her arm.
Brian didn't move then.
Either he was scared of my transformation or he didn't want to scare Phoebe.
"Listen to me, Brian," I said.
I tried to retain my temper.
"No! Why should I listen to a demon?" he yelled.
"I am your brother. You may be older than me and smarter than me, but right now I am stronger than you and I can kill you. I don't want to kill you but if that's what it takes to save the love of my life, I will do so," I said.
Brian looked at me in a different way.
He didn't seem angry, but also he didn't seem as if he trusted me.
"What do you need?" he asked.
"A cure. Phoebe has an infection on her leg and now she's got a fever and she could die," I said.
Thinking of her dying almost made me want to puke.
I felt as if I had been kicked in the stomach.
"We don't know what to look for," said Brian.
"Please, anything is fine. I just need something to keep her from dying," I begged.
A blonde girl walked up to me and pushed Brian away.
"Move, fatass," she said.
"Look, demon. If you think you can just barge right on in here and demand some kind of medicine for this hopeless person then you're wrong. We're human survivors here and we don't have time to worry about someone who's going to die anyway. I'm sorry but you can't get everything you want just because you're a monster. Some of us aren't scared of unreal things. You're fake. You're just a zombie or a human in disguise. You don't exist. I don't believe in mythical creatures so good luck trying to make a deal with me and my group. We're a team and you're S.O.L. So I suggest you to go home or back to wherever you came from," she told me.
I lied Phoebe down on the empty couch next to me.
"Phoebe! It's Phoebe!" yelled the screamy girl.
The blonde girl looked over at the screamy girl.
"It is Phoebe!" announced Fred.
The blonde looked at me.
"What have you done to her?" she demanded.
She tried to kick me, but I caught her foot.
I picked her up by her head with one hand.
"I told you. She was bitten by a zombie. I am her fiancé. I wouldn't ever hurt her. It's wrong of you to think something like that," I said.
"Put me down," she yelled.
I put her back on the ground.
Phoebe woke up when she heard voices all around her.
"Kyle," she said.
"I'm here, Phoebe," I replied.
"Phoebe! You're okay!" said Brian, rushing over to her.
Rage filled my heart and mind.
"Yeah, I'm okay…I guess," said Phoebe.
