Was that even a Question? I don't think it is. "Of course i'm going with you Zack, I'd have it no other way…" I said slightly above a whisper. I still wasn't used to talking and this news had to be taken in. "Good," He smiled at me, it was one of those smiles where they're hiding something but when they want to tell you, they will. I hope it's nothing real important. "Let's head back to the safe house, we can leave in a few days." I guess they gave up on the station. Well, there were psychos that knew where it was
They walked towards a car, and Riku asked if I was okay. I smiled up at him and said "I'm fine Riku, thanks for worrying." Once we got in Zack wanted the letter Kota put in my pocket. "Here." I said as i handed it to him. The ride to the house was long and it was silent the whole ride.
After we got to our destination everyone went to their sleeping bag besides Axel, I assume that himself and Aqua got back when I was gone, he was being the lookout for the first half of the night. I really do feel sorry for him, Roxas was his best friend. Axel even set me up a sleeping bag on the floor.
Almost everyone was asleep, yet I was still awake. Axel was just sitting there, staring off into nothingness. I walked over and sat right beside him. "You okay Ax?" A look of pain shot through his face. "That's what Rox always called me, before all this happened at least. He changed, and not for the better. Stupid Sephiroth! If I ever meet him, i swear i'm going to kill him for what he did to my Roku…" He looked to the ground and I swear i saw tears. The poor guy. Wait, did he say Sephiroth?!
"What do you mean Sephiroth? That's the guy that started all of this isn't it? What does he have to do with Roxy?" He looked at me as if he were confused. "Don't yo- Oh wait, you weren't here. Psychos kidnapped you, right. Well it turns out that Roxy and Luxord were working for Sephiroth from the first day we saw zombies. Rox got a strange text, and didn't believe it at first, but i guess he didn't take it lightly either. We can't find his phone anywhere. So nobody knows their exact conversation." I was shocked. "So Roxy was part of the kidnapping plan?" He frowned. "I assume so." Tears were forming in my eyes. What ever happened to the boy I had grown a crush on. He turned evil and then died because of his terrible choices.
"Oh Sora and Kai broke up because of what happened that night." I was shocked, they'd been together through all of this then just gave up? "What exactly happened?" "When Rox fell he didn't die. Somehow he was barely hurt. He ran into Kairi and she almost screamed. He kissed her and Sora freaked out. Nobody knows if she kissed him back, but she didn't push him away. He tried to make an escape but a zombie bit him. He got away, but he's a zombie by now, there's no way he isn't." He grabbed me and pulled me close to him. "Why did it have to be Rox? He was such a good kid…" he was crying on my shoulder by now.
He fell asleep crying. I moved him off of my shoulder and went to my sleeping bag. I started to fall asleep, but then there was a loud crash.
There was a loud crash and nobody woke up. I stood up on my heels and went towards the noise. It came from outside. I better not look at it alone, since I'm not that great with guns and my katana is still in the four runner. I went to go wake up Zack but there was a gunshot from outside and it woke everyone up. "Hey guys what's going on?" Sora said as he woke up. Xigbar just sat there staring into space. I swear i heard a groan from him.
Riku came over and grabbed my hand while i just stood there blushing. Zack got up and told everyone to get upstairs. We all listened except for Xigbar, who continued to stare into space. Demyx tried to go towards him but Zack stopped him. "You don't know what's going on. Demyx. Just stop moving and come upstairs."
Demyx had to be hardheaded as always and kept moving to Xigbar. "Hey Xiggy, You okay bro? You don't seem so well…" Xigbar stood up and started limping towards my brother. "Dem, get away from him!" I shouted to him. Xigbar kept going to Demyx and he was about to bite him. He was a Zombie. I tried shouting again but Demyx was frozen in spot. I tried running to pull him up the stairs or to simply break him out of his trance, but Riku stopped me. Sora ran to go get Demyx yet he wouldn't budge. He just stood there unable to move or comprehend anything. His old friend kept going towards him and he just stood there until Xigbar was chewing on my brothers arm. "Nooooooo!" I screamed bloody murder. Riku just held me tight stroking my hair. Sora tried backing away from Xig- I mean the zombie snacking on my brothers arm. Sora made it to the steps. The zombie finished his snack and was on his way to Sora to eat him too. Zack grabbed Sora and helped him up the rest of the stairs.
When we were up they came up with ways to get out. We needed to get all the way to Canada anyhow. I just grabbed a pillow and went to a corner and cuddled with it. My brother, my one and only brother just died. Wait. He had a fate worse than death. He was bitten repeatedly by a Zombie. A zombie that had previously been his best friend to be exact. What the hell is wrong with the world?
They were still coming up with a battle plan while I was in my corner crying, wondering why the world was so cruel. This isn't the place I grew up in, nor will it ever be safe. I tried to deal with all of this so many times, for so long. I don't think I can come back from this one. I had a mental breakdown that I would never ever recover from.
What was the point of living if we were just struggling to survive. We needed food to live. To get food we needed to go on supply runs. While on the supply runs we had to come face to face with them. They were merciless, cruel cold hearted beings that didn't care for anything but getting a hold of their next meal. They don't even eat the same things we did. They ate people. One bite, one little tooth mark, and we would be like them. It's a fate way worse than death as my only older brother will soon realize, never mind he won't be able to think… He's mindless. He's one of them.
If we live just to die, what's the point anymore? Some people understood this logic before all of this started and took the easy way out. I use to think they were cowards. I use to think they were weak. Now I understand. I understand why they did it. They understood life a little too well. They knew that everyone would die, and didn't feel like suffering anymore so they just ended it all. They ended all the suffering and heartache that they would face. I understand now, and I want that escape. I want to end my life...
