Ominous POV
A young hunter accompanied by a small charger sat on a rooftop looking down on their prey, a group of three. Lucky for the two oddballs their prey was out of ammo.
"Okay I'll take that one and you take that one." the hunter ordered obviously alpha of the unusual duo.
"But that one is tiny!" the charger complained.
"Yeah? Well so are you so shut it!" The hunter stepped on the edge in a deft crouch. "One, two, three-"
Suddenly, in stead of launching forward, he jumped back releasing a loud yelp, as the ledge he had been crouching on fell away... and hit a car.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Stupid hunters! I hate them!" A female voice shouted above the car alarm that was blaring beside them.
"Did it do that on purpose?" Another female exclaimed, younger, about 14.
"I don't really give a ****." The last one, male.
"Uh... Yeah! I totally meant to do that!" the hunter called, of course it was a raspy scream to the humans.
Soon the three were surrounded by those many unlucky soulless beings.
"I ******* hate these stupid zombies!" The woman said slashing and hacking at the offending figures with a rusty axe.
"No kidding." The man said, deftly swinging a katana blade.
"Jericho, Suzanne, I'm scared!" said the kid, defensively beating away the undead with a mangled golfing trophy.
"There just dumb old zombies Dj." Jericho reassured.
"No, of them!" and with that the small charger rumbled and shot forward to Suzanne.
"I got 'im." She said raising her axe to a batting position. It was then that the blade decided to retire and fell, uselessly, to the ground, "S**t!"
The hunter in waiting took to the air and screeched his victory. In one devastating moment Jericho was pinned and Suzanne was charged down the street far away. Dj screamed at the hunter and hit him with the trophy. With Jericho already dead the hunter got up to face her. She squealed and ran away at top speed.
Common zombies swarmed her causing another heart wrenching cry from the girl. The hunter watched as an unfamiliar feeling hit him. Pity. He sighed and slashed the commons away with his claws. She was hardly scathed, save a few bite marks and scratches he could see through her tattered shirt. She got up and eyed the hunter with a terrified expression. He growled and pointed down an alley. She didn't hesitate to take his suggestion.
"Boss-guy!" the charger yelled carrying the human's body, "I killed her... Where's the little one?"
"She got away." The hunter rasped returning to his own kill he added, "And I told you just call me Hunter."
"But Boss-guy suits you!" the charger mused.
"Shut up!"
Survivor POV
"Did you hear that?" Zoey asked rising from her seat on guard duty.
"No..." Rochelle yawned stretching.
"Should we wake everyone up?" Zoey inquired looking at their friends.
"No, but finish the shift will you? I'm pooped." Rochelle answered and crawled into a sleeping bag.
"Yeah sure..." Zoey said looking outside where all the zombies waited.
Their group rested upstairs in a two story store. Zoey shot any zombies that got too close to the door and such. She sighed. She missed Bill. He had been like a second father to her and he gave his owm life to keep her and the other two safe.
"Help!" a small weak cry wrenched her from her despair. "Help!"
She looked down at the street to see a young girl charging through the street and past the building they were in. She was only a kid!
Zoey being seventeen, the youngest in the group immediately sympathized and rushed down stairs to the girl's rescue. By the time Zoey was down stairs and out the door the girl was two blocks away, and with a silenced weapon there was no way to signal the girl over the delighted screams of the undead. Her only option was to follow shooting the infected until the girl noticed.
Back at the building Ellis was the first to wake up. Looked around lazily and began to stretch. He would've started a story about a time he slept on the floor but since no one was awake... Thats when he knew something was up. Zoey and Rochelle were supposed to take the last shift. He glanced toward their sleeping bags and found that only Rochelle was present.
"You guys, wake up!" He began to wake everyone up told them what he found. He was gonna feel really silly if it turned out she just went to the bathroom.
"AHH!" the poor girl gave upon calling for help and just ran to where ever there was an opening. Zoey was having trouble keeping up and cutting down the zombies, she would have to end this soon. as soon as there were only a few of them left the girl tripped. "No!"
Zoey called out to her,"Don't worry. I'm coming!"
She made quick work of the zombies and found the girl wasn't injured too badly but with the over sized sweater she wore it was hard to tell. It covered half of her face!
"Are you okay?" Zoey asked pulling the girl off the ground.
She answered very quietly,"Yes. Thank you."
"Come on," Zoey held the girls hand, "There's a safe place back there."
"Where? We went through so many zigzags."
"Don't worry. I remember." Zoey soothed her.
"Okay..."
After a while Zoey started to wonder about this girl.
"So... What's your name?" Zoey asked trying to smile even thought she was worried about a hunter or something.
"Dj." The girl said in a clipped tone.
"Okay, My name is Zoey... So..." Zoey tried to think about something to talk about, other than her past, "Do you have a favourite colour?"
"No."
"Hmm... Well... How about we play 'I spy'?"
Nothing really changed for a while at least.
Suddenly the girl grabbed Zoey's silenced machine gun and pointed it at the roof top, "I spy a yucky smoker!" And with that the gun went off missing a few times before effectively killing the thing.
"Nice aim."
"Thanks." The girl still had that annoying tone...
"We're going back to a few of my friends... Their probably worried..." Zoey said trying still to strike a conversation.
After a few awkward moments of silence the girl said, "What are their names?"
"Oh, Well there's Coach, Francis, Ellis, Rochelle, Nick Louis and me... I guess you'll be part of our group too huh?" The girl stayed quiet after this,"Hey, what's-"
"Zoey!" A familliar voice shouted from around the corner.
"Ellis? We are over here." Zoey shouted back.
"Thank goodness," Coach's voice sounded strained, "We?"
As Zoey and Dj walked around the corner Nick wasted no time with his questions, "Where'd the brat come from?"
"Nick! That's no way to talk to a kid!" Ro reprimanded him," Hey there sweetie are you okay."
The girl stared at them blankly and clipped, "Yes."
"Let's get back to the safe house." Louis piped up, breaking the awkward silence.
After about ten minutes of walking they were right outside the house, however the zombies decided this was where they would attack. They were quickly demolished by Francis' grumpy morning attitude.
"I hate these ******* vampires." He grumbled, which earned a long stare from Dj, "What are ya lookin' at?"
"You remind me of Jericho." She responded.
"Who?" He voiced the thoughts of the entire group.
"But he's dead now." She ignored the question.
When they were all inside Zoey decided to check Dj for wounds.
"Dj can you take the sweater off for a minute? I want to treat any wounds you have." Zoey said soothingly.
"NO!" Dj yelled catching everyone's attention, "I'm fine."
"Come on just let me see." Zoey said putting a hand on Dj's shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" Dj jumped backwards falling behind a counter with a loud ripping sound.
"Dj are you okay...?" Ro asked rushing forward immediately.
Dj stood up from behind the counter only the top of her head was visible, but she stood up all the way revealing a tattered shirt with scratched and bite marks all over her body.
Nick rose to his feet an pointed accusingly at the girl, "You're infected!"
"Hey! Don't rush to conclusions!" Louis interjected, "She might be immune. Like us."
Coach tried to calm everyone down, "Calm down! Now Dj when did you get those bites?"
"Last night."
"Have you ever gotten bitten before?"
"No. Jericho and Suzanne was careful not to let me get bitten." She told them.
"Hey Dj, Who were Jericho and Suzanne?" Zoey asked gently. All eyes were on Dj, but she didn't seem fazed.
"Jericho, Suzanne and I were heading to the evac centre ahead. But a they both died trying to protect me." While she said this with her clipped emotionless tone her face remained unreadable. All except her eyes which made it obvious she was trying not to cry.
"Oh..." Zoey asked. Everyone in the group sympathized with the girl she was a kid and most likely everyone she'd ever known was dead... Or changed.
"We'l have to wait and see if she's immune or not." Nick stated, "Tomorrow if she's not a zombie, she is... but if not..."
No one in the room wanted to picture that at the moment.
