Chapter 8: Violet Rising.
Everyone braced themselves as the door slowly creaked open and in stepped a zombie with an Incredibles suit, a bloody neck injury and an orange headband that had green glowing eyes. Everyone looked closely at the zombie as it was standing still in the doorway before their eyes widened, "Violet?" Dash asked. Violet looked at the young boy and started to walk towards him. Hammond readied a gun, but Eric stopped her from shooting.
"Wait a minute, Hammond. Let's find out what she's gonna do." he said as Violet stopped in front of Dash and bent down. What came next was unexpected.
"Are you okay, Dash?" she asked in a raspy-sounding voice. Everyone's eyes widened, but Dash's widened the biggest.
"She… spoke." said Eric in amazement.
"A zombie… spoke? I don't even know how that's possible." said Hammond.
Violet then looked at the others and said, "Mr. Dicker, Mirage, Ms. Mode, Ms. Hammond." before bowing in greeting, "Hello." she finished with.
Everyone stayed silent for a few minutes before Eric asked, "Hey, Violet, just to be sure we're on the safe side, you don't have any interest in eating us, do you?"
Violet actually smiled and shook her head, "No way, I'm no cannibal." she said before Dash hugged her tightly and sobbed quietly into her waist. His zombie sister just kept her smile and hugged him back.
"How are you able to speak as a zombie, Violet?" asked Hammond.
"There's only one reason why, she has intelligence." Frank answered. Violet then explained to everyone that when she reanimated, she had her intelligence and voice intact somehow, possibly due to her brain being able to resist becoming undead. She actually had fun with it at first, but after a while, she started to long to be human again.
"Now that I think about it, does anyone know how to cure me?" she asked.
Everyone was at a dead end until Eric remembered something, "What if we used Dr. Barnaby's old treatment chamber? It can cure her since she's infected but not fully turned." he suggested, something everyone agreed to.
"All right, but first we'll need a few things." Eric said.
