Quarantine: For The Bitten Who Change
Third chapter and introducing yet another character of mine, btw if I hadn't said I own the Others but not The Walking Dead, that belongs to AMC;)
Hope y'all like!
Blaze had been slightly disturbed by the figure but he continued with building his own society and every day for the next few days he grew to like his new friends and he got closer to Weasel and Daisy, after he had been at the Prison for a week he decided to leave and help out with the scavenger team. So Blaze, Daryl and Michonne left the Prison to check out a recently discovered town that was hidden in the midst of the forest that surrounded them. Daryl swept the buildings as Michonne stayed outside with Blaze; Michonne was one of those people who didn't always speak on the job. It wasn't until they reached the final two houses when Michonne heard many voices surrounding them, the town or village as it was looking was completely surrounded by trees, plenty of cover, she nudged Blaze who shifted his weight and prepared his hands…
Michonne raised her arms above her samurai swords, the voices that was murmuring grew closer and closer, slowly a bunch of Walkers crept out of the shadows and Michonne swiftly went to work, decapitating as many as she could, Blaze threw his hands quickly to one side and a stream of flames licked the Walkers painfully and powerfully but once a row of Walkers had caught light another row appeared behind the fallen. Eventually the three were tightly packed and hardly any room to room, the Walkers clawing at them and Daryl was soon slipping and slowing down with his bolts, Michonne struggling to cleanly swipe at any Walkers, Blaze running out of energy with his flames not being as powerful as to start with…
"Come on, we need to escape" Daryl called out as the groaning and straining Walkers grew ever so slightly closer
"Eurgh we need help" Blaze yelled, "HELP!" He crazily yelled again, hoping for someone to hear, if lucky the figure he saw the other day
Then as the Walkers hands were nearly close enough the touch a strange feeling emerged in the atmosphere, a different feeling to when he met Weasel it was kind of an emotional and psychological feeling, then a pink shimmering light shone around all the surrounding Walkers heads after a few moments time felt really slow and as if by magic the heads of all the Walker starting from the right the heads cracked and snapped quickly, it resonated quickly around in a circle and after a minute all the Walkers were completely dead on the ground…
Daryl lowered his crossbow and Michonne lowered her swords followed by Blaze's hands, the air was still and a puzzled look spread on all three of their faces, Daryl bent down to check on a Walker and saw that it's skull had been crushed…. From the inside out, the brain turned to mush as the skull fragments pointed inwards as if there had been a vacuüm in their heads…. Weird
After picking around in the gooey mess of a weirdly exploded head they wandered off knowing the place was dangerous and they entered back into the wooded trees on their way back to the Prison… Then Blaze heard the voice again, 'I saved you'
He whipped around to the left and to the right but he saw no-one, "What's up Blaze?" Daryl asked
"Nothing, just thought I heard something" He replied and they continued back through the way they hoped was leading back to the Prison, after five or ten minutes and the sun blazing through the gaps in the tree they sat down for a moment to have a drink and eat something they had brought with them, then a groaning noise was heard nearby…
"Walker" Daryl whispered, abandoning his food and grabbing his crossbow, Michonne laid a hand on a sword and they stayed quiet, a lone Walker stumbled in through the tree and they relaxed, it was alone, Blaze was about to through a small flamethrower but he paused, a pink shimmering light sparkled around its head, the Walker lunged at them but before it could grab someone a small *Crack* came from its head and the skull imploded with skull fragments digging into the brain and liquefying it…
Behind the Walker came a women who lowered her hands from the position they were in and she walked over to them, "I'm sorry for showing you that but I thought it was time we met, Blaze I'm the voice in your head, my name is Aries and I'm a psychic"
"It was you who destroyed that herd of Walker in the town?"
"Yes, my psychic power allows me to lock on a group of around thirty or forty-ish people and I can crush their skulls or any part of their body with my mind, useful and defiantly comes in handy sometime" Aries who was dressed in a plain white t-shirt and jeans with pink studded earings grabbed Daryl's discarded food and began eating…
Blaze made his decision to take her back to the Prison after seeing her power, he would explain to Rick about it and have Daryl and Michonne as witnesses, Aries having known the way began leading them back, telling them about what she can do, "I can levitate object and myself, creepy right?" She laughed and they half-heartily followed in pursuit
"So how long have you been alone?" Blaze inquired
"I've lived in a care home since I was young and left when I was eighteen to a small flat to live by myself, when this Zombie take over began I was packing up some things to leave when my neighbour came in and lunged for my neck, I defended myself but she bit me on my shoulder, see" She showed them her two semi-circular scars on her left shoulder, "I knew what happened when you are bitten by Zombies so I panicked and ran out onto the streets and saw a herd of them heading straight for me, but they didn't attack…"
"Why not?" Daryl butted in, Blaze answered
"We are still technically one of them but we can talk, function like humans except for our gift, they don't attack us just the humans were with which is why I was outside the gate with all the Walkers when you first met me, but like Aries I guess we know that the Walker are bad so I guess we attack them on instinct"
"Yes, I screamed not familiar with the situation and suddenly when I threw my arm forwards with rage and confusion the herd were flung backwards, I was scared and ran off with nothing but my clothes, eventually I learnt to control them and here I am now, with you guys" She smiled and they had reached the Prison gates which only had a few walkers lurking around it, Carl opened the main gates and they all sauntered in with Aries, Rick came over after realizing there was one extra person, "Who's this?" He asked
"Rick this is Aries, she's a psychic who can implode brains, levitate and has telekinesis" Blaze explained and Rick nodded in agreement and let them go, Blaze guided Aries to his section of the Prison and Daisy and Weasel were there on the floor reading books from the Prison library, "Aries this is…"
"Daisy and Weasel, they're brother and sister, Weasel can create, manipulate and cleanse water while his sister daisy can grow plants depending on her emotions, feelings and mood through song and prefers her identity to remain anonymous, anything else?"
"Guys this is Aries and she's psychic if you hadn't already guessed" He smiled and they laughed…
…
Okay so it's kind of becoming a pattern that a new character or characters are being introduced in each chapter but I only got a few more to come, if anyone would like this story to go in a specific way I'm open to suggestions ;)
If an update doesn't come for a while that'll be because I am quickly going to do a CSI One-Shot that is kind of similar to this story but with different powers etc etc etc
PLXS R&R!
