Chapter 5: 1 Eye, Z and I
I rubbed my empty left eye socket which I had lost due to Zora, my former best friend in the world, betrayed our kind, and when I foolishly tried to help her, she stabbed my eye with a switchblade and pulled it out of my skull, severing the optic nerve... and crushing it under her foot. From that day on my depth perception had gone down through the floor. she broke my heart, literally! She pulled my unbeating heart out of my chest and ate it, right in front of me.
I still had the hole in my chest to prove it, it's a good thing I kept flies away, or else I'd have maggots swarming around my open wounds trying to devour the rest of my rotting green flesh. I know you're probably wondering why all zombies names start with "Z", well, that just how it works, all zombies names start with "Z", my parents names are Zenon and Zerelda.
This is why I don't like talking about my past because there's nothing good to talk about.
I decided that was enough alone time, so I left the room and decided to explore my new home a little more. I made my way down the hallway until I bumped into someone and fell backwards.
"Oops, sorry" the voice said, "are you alright?".
I looked up and I saw a girl with long black hair who only had one eye, she also had springs on her feet.
"I'm Ok" I answered politely.
"I haven't seen you around before" she said, helping me to my feet. "I'm new" I replied.
"Oh! you must be Zaí, the new girl, Ruby told us that you were coming to live with us, my names Iris, glad that you're here" she finished shaking my hand.
"Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you too" I replied, remembering Skull Boy had told me about Iris, and how she liked to pull people into her adventures.
"I can't wait for you to get acquainted with everyone and explore, all the fun stuff here makes this place the most fun place to live" Iris finished.
"I can hardly wait either" I replied with a sense of nervousness in my voice.
"Oh, cool we're twins!" Iris said excitedly, "how so?" I asked. "We both have only one eye" "I guess you're right" I said feeling my empty eye socket. My face really wasn't that pretty, although you could argue that I was 'drop dead gorgeous (rimshot)'.
"Y'know I think we're gonna be great friends don't you?" Iris asked.
"Sure do" I replied happily.
"Although, if I were you I'd probably want to cover up that hole" she said, referencing my eye. "You should get an eyepatch for it" she suggested. "Ooh, I bet Misery would have one you could borrow."
Misery, I heard about her, "Ok, great" I replied. "Do you know where I can find her?" I asked politely.
"Go downstairs and knock on the door with the bars, that's Misery's room she should be down there", Iris kindly responded. "I'll see you around, Ok?, welcome to our home." Iris said before bouncing off.
I was surprised by how much these people cared about me, a stranger shows up at their house and just like that I'm part of their family.
I began to make my way downstairs.
