*blows party noisemaker*

Nike: Hey! I thought you said you wanted this to be relatively free of swears!

SHUDDUP I'LL BLEEP THEM OUT LATER

HAVE A MERRY FREAKING CHRISTMAS

SHOUT OUTS: WizardOfEnder007 (I was writing about Riley, and the zombie wasn't there), Guest ( :D ), TheDiamondArcher (if you really like him, keep trying. And if this girl tends to make fun of you and stuff, I wouldn't trust her), and Night (I'll try to come up with one, I guess. If I don't submit one within, maybe three days, I don't think I will.

Chapter 37

Alex, Ash, and Percy were all sitting on the floor of Alex's room. They were talking and laughing, sounding for all the world like normal teenage girls having a sleepover, though all three of them were usually far from that. They had been talking for about the past hour, whilst watching completely random and pointless videos on YouTube.

Ash was quite surprised. She hadn't expected Percy to be so normal. Seeing him so happy made it hard to believe he was actually an evil little bastard that wanted to destroy all humanity.

Alex was just telling the other two about some wild adventure she and her brothers had gone on a while ago that involved Nike, Mitch and Jerome, and some crazy chick named Alia when Riley suddenly burst into the room. Her wheelchair actually skidded on the floor in her haste. She was followed by what looked like a small floating light from afar, but up close turned out to be a pixie.

Percy immediately stood up. "What's wrong?" he asked when he saw his sister's face.

Riley looked at the pixie. The pixie nodded and began speaking in a strange language that sounded a lot like Tinkerbell. As the winged girl spoke, Percy seemed to grow more and more concerned.

When the pixie finished speaking, Percy nodded. "This is really bad."

Alex tilted her head. "What's bad?"

"My parents sent a mutant zombie to where Andria, Steve, Wisty, and Dana are," Percy explained.

Ash was confused now. Wasn't that good for Percy? He was trying to take over the world, after all. Getting rid of the people who were trying to kill him would get them out of his way.

Alex was apparently just as confused. "Hold up." She made a time-out sign with her hands. "Why is that bad? Shouldn't you be happy about that?"

Percy looked horrified. "No! Why would I be?"

Ash raised an eyebrow. "But you want to take over the world. You've been trying to kill everyone at the old base."

Percy stared at them for a moment, obviously confused, until a look of realization appeared on his face. "Oh no." He sighed and put his face in his hands. "Crap."

"What?" Alex sounded curious.

Percy took a deep breath. "I have multiple personality disorder. It's-"

Alex snapped her fingers. "I know what that is! Each personality has different memories and behaviour patterns, and it's usually brought on by an experience of severe trauma, most likely occurring during early childhood. The subject switches between personalities, and sometimes the switching can take minutes, hours, or even days, and-"

Percy looked at her, and she fell silent.

Percy sighed. "Anyway, this is a monster they definitely can't kill."

Ash shrugged. "I don't know. They all seemed pretty good at fighting to me."

"The monster is Erin, Wisty's old girlfriend," Percy said. "Wisty won't have the heart to kill her, and because of her influence, no one else will try."

"But Erin's dead!" Ash was confused and shocked. "How could she attack them if she's dead?"

Percy sighed, obviously ashamed. "I'm not quite sure how she's alive. I wasn't in my right mind then, so I don't remember."

"Well, what do we do?" Riley asked. She'd been so quiet, Ash had almost forgotten she was there.

Percy sighed. "Bella, go find Andria and the others. Bring them here."

The small pixie looked a bit miffed, but she nodded, and in a flash of light, she disappeared.

xXx

Steve gasped. "But I thought Erin was dead!"

Wisty shook her head. "I would recognize her anywhere. That's definitely her." Tears sprang to her eyes. "She's alive..."

"But why is she a freaking mutant zombie?" Steve shrieked as Erin stomped towards them, pushing trees over on her way as smaller monsters began hacking at her legs with their various weapons.

Erin took another step forward, and Steve grabbed Wisty's arm, hauling her to her feet. "Wisty, we need to get Andria and Dana and get off this island!"

Wisty snapped out of her trance and nodded. "Right."

They dashed towards the little shelter they'd made, but before they could make it there, Andria and Dana flung open the door and rushed outside. Andria had her sword drawn, and Dana held a throwing knife in each hand. They both immediately fixed their sights on the giant zombie. Dana drew a hand back to throw one of her blades, but Wisty stepped in front of her. "Don't throw!" she ordered. "That's Erin!"

Dana blinked. "But she's dead!"

Steve shrugged. "Apparently not. Look, we just need to get off this island."

"But we can't just leave them here!" Andria protested, gesturing at the monsters who were still attacking Erin. The zombies' swords pierced Erin's skin, but still didn't seem to be doing much. Erin was swatting at the smaller monsters with her large fists in annoyance, but other than that, there was no effect. One of the skeletons turned away from Erin and looked at the small group. The skeleton yelled something, but Steve didn't speak Skeleton, so he couldn't understand what the monster had said.

Dana turned to Wisty. "What did they say?"

Wisty gulped. "They told us to go. The monsters know what we're doing, and they're distracting Erin so we can go."

Dana sheathed her knives. "Me and Wisty can build a boat. Steve, you and Andria find redstone to craft a compass. "

Andria shook her head. "I don't think we have to," she said, pointing at the sky.

Steve looked up and saw a small spark of blue light soaring towards them. The light came closer, and a little object appeared within it; it looked a bit like a pixie. And it was, in fact, a pixie, one that he recognized.

"What are you doing here, Bella?" Dana asked.

The pixie crossed her arms and said something in the strange, Tinkerbell-like language that all pixies spoke in. She looked quite angry.

Wisty nodded. "Okay. We won't call you Bella. Just tell us what you're doing here."

Belladonna told them, using many exaggerated gestures as she spoke. Steve didn't speak Pixie either, so he had no idea what she was saying.

As the pixie talked, Wisty looked more and more troubled. "So, he wants us to go there? Seriously?"

Belladonna said something else, and Wisty nodded. "Okay. If it's our only chance, we'll have to take it."

Andria shrugged. "I guess so." She held out her hand, and Belladonna fluttered down and landed on her hand. Belladonna gestured for the others to grab onto Andria. Wisty took Andria's hand, and Dana grabbed onto her shoulder. The pixie started to glow, and Steve hastily grabbed Andria's other shoulder just before they all disappeared.
