Get Back
Connor leapt over the tombstone, sword raised to decapitate the zombie. Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream tore through the graveyard. Connor cried out, covering his ears. He glared over in the direction of the tall, light brown haired girl. Dani Dennison stood with her hands on her hips glaring at him.
"Get away from him."
"Excuse me?"
"I said, drop the sword and back away from the zombie." She said slower and louder. "Are you deaf or just dumb?"
"It's a zombie, my mission is to -" Connor seethed.
"Kill an innocent soul?"
"It's a zombie, it doesn't have a soul!"
"No, that's vampires! He has a soul!" She shouted.
"He's a brain-eating zombie, I have to kill him!" Connor shouted right back.
"No, he's Billy Butcherson, a very old friend of mine." Dani snapped. "And does he look like he's eating brains? No!"
"The girl's right." Billy said, smiling at her. "I've never eaten brains, mainly cause that hag sewed my mouth shut after she poisoned me, but I don't like the taste of brains."
"Billy, too much info.."
"Right then."
"And anyway, the incompetent brain-eating version of zombies are over that way, trying to corner that old lady in her car!"
"You couldn't have just said that?" Connor snapped.
"No, you were too busy trying to kill Billy, remember?"
Connor raced over and dispatched the three zombies. After telling the old woman to go straight home, he made his way over to Dani and Billy, who was climbing back into his grave.
"Bye, Billy. Have a good sleep!" Dani said brightly.
Billy yawned before becoming inanimate once more. His corpse hit the ground heavily. Dani only sighed.
"He never gets any better at that."
"You're annoying sometimes, Dennison."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bitch to the Powers That Suck Monkey Butt. They're the ones who made you a champion and me a - what did they call me?"
"A visionary." Connor snorted. Dani punched his shoulder.
"Let's just get the Book back, okay? Before this super witch tries to raise the sisters again."
