Chapter 2: Waking up Again

Next morning Neo woke up again but fully aware of her surroundings in disappointment and anger it all wasn't a stupid nightmare that would be over. She was in the same hideous light green room,same warm blankets covering her, same para cord restraints cutting into her sensitive skin, and lastly to top it off the same young man with the cute face snoring away on the sleeping bag next to the bed on the floor. The only difference was the sweet aroma of bacon and eggs that circulated the room and clinking of breakfast pans could be heard through the thin walls of the Apartment. Stomach growling lowly, the little lady felt like she hadn't eaten for days. But food didn't sound appealing at the moment, she wanted to be leave and go back to her own apartment.

Looking at the young man again Neo was surprised to see one of his crystal blue eyes were open staring back at her with a kind expression on his baby face but no smile to be found."Ahh morning. Neopolitan? Is it?You're finally awake." He spoke in a silky morning voice that could lull her back to sleep.

Neo felt stupid and weirded out that this guy had the nerve to call her by her whole name. And how the fuck did he know her name to begin with? Neo thought to herself before choosing her words smartly because she was the one tied down to a bed at the moment and she didn't want to chance her safety." Yeah. Where am I? And who are you? And how do you know my name?" Neo asked in a raspy voice.

The young man blushed slightly at Neos morning voice. It sounded sexy and as he noticed her messy locks of pink and brown hair cascadeed in front of her curious and tired face. "Umm. Oh sorry. My name is Russell Thrash I'm a freshman at Beacon university across town. And I know who you are because ended up with your mail by accident and asked the manger and they gave me your apartment number." Russell's face reddened deeper at the memory of the morning when he knocked on Neos door to find her half covered in a pink sports bra and white booty shorts scowling at him for staring at her body like it was up for grabs, snatching the pieces of mail she slammed the heavy door in his face without a single word.

"Thank you Russell. You mind also telling me why the fuck I'm tied down to your bed ? And how long have I been out?" Neo gave up on the "careful act" and switched to fury, raising her voice to sound bitter and nasty ignoring his little story.

"Well you were bitten by a zombie and banging at our door for help. I couldn't have left you there to die and get eaten by those things. So I pulled your ass into our apartment. Then my roommate Cardin was pissed off at me for saving you and said you could have turned into a Zombie at anytime. You've been out for five days up until today. " Russell barked back. Thinking of what she first looked like and how he nursed the little ladies battered form back to health by spoon feeding her broth and water and patching up her wound when Cardin gave him the all clear.

"Why couldn't you have just left me there and let me die? Maybe you're Roommate is right. I'm a lost cause anyways." Neo growled glaring at Russell with her pink and brown eyes almost promising at the thought of a sweet swift death.

"No I'm not like that. I like to help people. And what do you mean your a lost cause? You would have never existed or lived if you weren't. Every person has a role to play and a reason to live." Russell said sadly getting up from his spot and heading for the door.

"Where the fuck are you going? Your just going to leave me here? Get back here." Neo said with a huff pulling at the para cord.

"No I'm not leaving the apartment, I'm not that stupid to go out in a zombie apocalypse and die. I don't have a death wish like you Neopolitan. I'm just going to tell my lovely Roommate that he was wrong. Now he owes me his lucky machete." Russell snickered walking out the door leaving behind a livid little lady still struggling to break free from the para cord restrains.

-Kitchen-

Russell felt like an asshole leaving Neo all by herself without further information and still having her tied down to his bed. In a way he felt pity for the little lady, she seemed distant and almost to the point of becoming suicidal. Russell couldn't cut her loose just yet, not without Cardins confirmation and input on her sanity.

Walking into the kitchen Russell found Cardin flipping vegetable omelettes in an old black rusty pan on the stovetop. Russell grabbed two plates and took a seat on the leather bar stool. "Hey dude. Guess what?" Russell said.

"What? She finally woke up a zombie and you had to kill her?" Cardin asked smirking, thinking he won the small bet.

"Nope. Shes perfectly awake and alive. Even though she's kinda mad at me right now..." Russell blushed pink thinking of her angry face and wrists pulling desperately at the makeshift restraints before he left the room. It was almost sexy seeing her so hot and bothered on his bed. His BDSM craving was being feed but from a safe distance to his discontent, while a hard on surfaced in his boxers and Russell did his best to ignore it.

"Ughhh you piece of shit. I owe you my machete don't I? So what if the hot chicks angry at you? She's just a stupid woman, not like she can do anything anyways." Cardin shrugged his beefy shoulders putting omelettes on the two plates in front of Russell and pouring orange juice in two cups.

"Haha yeah I want the machete when we go out for supplies tomorrow. And I'm going to give her food right now. can I cut off the para cord?" Russell asked picking up both plates ,two forks and the cups of orange juice.

"Yeah. Sure. Whatever. Go ahead and let her go. But if she tries to take off, tie the chick back down again. We can't afford to lose her, She could be the cure for the fucking virus. Think about it Russ she was bitten a few days ago and survived with everything intact including brains. We could easily use her as a bribe with the government and maybe even safety." Cardin smirked suggestively wanting to save his own hide, digging into his own big plate of stacked omelettes like a fat hog, waving Russell off with the first mouthful of eggs.

"Okay dude. I'll keep you updated on how she's doing. See you later." Russell half lied, he honestly couldn't think of bringing himself to restrain Neo again when she had a free will like any other human being. If anything Russell Thought his roommates intentions were cruel, selfish and unorthodox. If they brought the little lady to a government facility they would probably get nothing out of it and she probably wouldn't come back out to see daylight ever again, she would become a lab rat until death claimed her.

- Bed Room-

Russell came back to his room closing the door behind him. Looking over at Neo she had a uncomfortable look on her soft features."Russell if that's your name. I need to piss before my bladder explodes all over your bed." The little lady hissed out with discomfort.

"Oh sorry Neopolitan I didn't think about that. Here I'll cut you free." Russell felt bad making her wait for so long.

"Stop calling me by my damn name! Call me Neo, you dumb ass." Neo growled under her breath rolling her eyes.

"Oh well okay then "Neo". No need to get all snippy with me. trying to help and I even brought you something to eat." Russell said cooly putting the breakfast plates and cups on the night stand. He then proceeded to pull out a small wooden carving knife from his dresser and cut her wrists and feet free from the para cord in an awkward fashion not grasping the knife right. He cut Neos wrist lightly by accident and said sorry quickly as it bleed out crimson liquid,only to receive a hardened look from Neo.

Once the little lady was completely free of the bounds, Russell pointed to a door on the left side of the bedroom." That's the bathroom and there's some clean clothes in their if you want to change and some fresh bandages and rubbing alcohol. Unless you want me to help you." He said offering his assistance politely.

Neo ignored his genuine kindness covered her bleeding wrist with her right hand tightly running into the bathroom, locking the door behind her with a swift click, not uttering a single word to Russell in the process bewildering the young man.

While in the bathroom Neo quickly relieved herself feeling like she hadn't took a piss in years. Sitting there for a minute the little lady wanted to go home not digging the odd situation she was in. Yes Russell was kind enough to take care of her but she didn't like the sound of his roommate Cardin when he suggested to tie her down. She promised herself to be careful with the guy by the name of Cardin and leave when the time was just right even if it meant making a sacrifice and killing him.

Neo Jumped out of her thoughts stripping down from the blooded soiled pink nightgown and took off the bloody bandages from the black and purple exposed bite mark on her shoulder and took a nice hot shower not caring if the wounds including the new addition from Russell burned her pale sensitive skin. When Neo was finished she patched up the bite mark and cut to the wrist with the first aid items provided and proceeded to change into a large university tee shirt that hung loosely and a pair of baggy plaid green boxers. The clothing must have belonged to Russell, Neo gathering as much especially the ugly green boxers. Grabbing a pick comb from the medicine cabinet Neo brushed out the tangles in her butt length hair letting it fall into damp ringlets.

After a few extra minutes of trying to relax and avoid going out of the bathroom to face Russell. A loud rumbling noise was heard in her stomach, Neo was very hungry and had no choice but to leave the comfort of the bathroom and eat something before she got a headache.

Unlocking the nob the little lady opened the door slowly making it creek loudly. Russell was sitting on the sleeping beg reading a textbook on chemistry while the two plates and orange juices sat untouched on the nightstand. He looked up sprouting a deep blush at Neos appearance in his night shirt and boxers.

"What the hell are you looking at kid?" Neo barked.

"Oh sorry... Umm didn't realize you were out already. You hungry yet?" Russell asked trying to not act like a hot women dressed in his night clothes was in his bedroom with him. Russell shakily put his book down and patting the floor next to him awkwardly gesturing the little lady to take a seat.

"Whatever. I'm just starving..." Neo said under her breath listening to Russell as much as it pained her and plopped down but further away from him, more like a rude comfortable distance on her part.

Russell was content and handed Neo a plate and glass watching her devour the omelette and suck down the orange juice like it was going to be her last meal ever. They both ate in silence and he was the last too finish a few minutes later.

"So how are you feeling now?" Russell asked worriedly.

"Fine as I'll ever fucking be. Even though I want to go home and get my cat Zona. Poor baby is all by herself and she must be starving if I've been out for five days." Neo complained looking almost sad at the thought of said Black cat.

"I'll have Cardin get the cat for you if she hasn't already turned. Because right now it's not safe to go out at the moment. There was a horde of THEM circling this part of the complex yesterday so we're kinda unprepared stuck..." Russell admitted remembering the sight of seeing a bunch of them through a hole in the blinds the day before.

"That's just lovely... What are you planning on doing for the rest of this bloody apocalypse?Hiding here until your discovered and turned into a Sunday brunch for the lot of the little brain eating bastards? Or are you and your roommate going to starve to death?" Neo shrieked angrily spitting in Russell's none partial face.

"Calm down and stop acting like a bitch!im just trying to help you and all your doing is pushing me away! Please don't be this way! I had to fight with my fucking thick skulled roommate just to save your ass dammnit!" Russell shouted back turning red in anger.

"who the fuck told you I needed rescuing I'm not some stupid damsel in distress!im a big girl and I can take care of myself!" Neo screamed.

Just then the bedroom door swung open and Cardin barged in glaring daggers at Neo. He grabbed her covering her pretty mouth with his grim my callused hand and pinning her to the floor on all fours breathing in the scent of his roommates shampoo in her damp hair.

"Chick shut the hell up. The zombies are sensitive to noise. Maybe we should have just left you tied up and made you go for something else." Cardin whispered in her ear with a dirty smirk crossed his features.

Neo felt filthy ,helpless and defenseless. She tried desperately to think of something to get the fucking pervert off of her before he did something her virgin body that she sure didn't want.

"Oh come on dude let her go. She didn't do anything." Russell said trying to pull Cardin off her only to be punched to the side.

"No she's going to learn to obey me." He laughed evilly. About to grope her most private parts without a single ping of guilt."your mine for the night baby." He whispered.

That's when Neos mind snapped and lost all hope of sanity in the situation that was already heading south. The little lady felt a massive non regular headache coming on as a nasty thick slime coming out of her gums and without thinking about it with logic she bit and ripped the flesh off of Cardin's nasty hand making him hiss in severe pain and let go of her small form.

Black blood was seeping out of Neos mouth as she watched Cardin fall next to her on the ground convulsing while his eyes rolled back.

"Russell! Give me the damn knife!" Neo shouted with the black vile substance still pouring out of her mouth making her cough.

Russell starred at her stupefied, his body not complying with his ever shouting brain.

"Fucking A! Russell! The knife! Hurry!" Neo choked out.

Russell finally complied dashing to the dresser and grabbing the carving knife throwing it at Neo with great force. It swished by her head sticking within the wood of the night stand.

Neo tired pulling it out but it was stuck. Looking back at Cardin his bones started to snap and black liquid mixed with his blood came out of his ears, mouth and nose. After a few extra seconds Cardin was no longer Cardin anyone but a brain eating zombie. It sat up looking over at Russell with hungry creamy white eyes and began crawling its way over to him on all fours. Frantically Neo was finally able to pull the knife out of the wood.

Russell was frozen in fear as the zombie grew closer. Neo growled getting up ignoring her fatigue and towering over the beefy zombie and stabbed it multiple times in the back of its head with a harsh working hand. killing it like she killed the first one a few days ago that bit her. Blood splattered all over her and Russell. Once the little lady was finished with the dreadful deed she collapsed almost lifelessly on the floor with the black liquid instantly replaced with clear saliva. leaving a petrified Russell all by himself to deal with this mess as zombies from the outside bumped and groaned at the front door and walls from all the pervious ruckus. Russell fall on the floor sobbing with confusion and fear. He wasn't sure what he thought of Neo thus far debating if she was right about being a lost cause. Looking at the knife he picked it up looking at Neo and made his choice. He stabbed the weapon into Cardin's head and began the slow process of cutting it off to Make sure it was dead.

There you have it until next time. I wonder what Russell will do with Neo next? Lol
