I hope you guys found the first chapter at least interesting. I didn't want it to be too long, just sort of like an opener. I'm not trying to make it a Dempsey-fight-over-OC-with-anyone type of thing. That's just how I think he'd be in real life; horn dog until he gets to know the chick first, and then start respecting the girl. I was told that I've been spelling Nikolai's name wrong. I don't know how to fix that in the last chapter without reuploading a new one, so just bear with them. Enjoy this next chapter!

Right now, Viridian was the one deciding if Dempsey should live or die. He had his hands up, showing his guns were tucked behind him. Dempsey mentally cursed himself for hoping the guys respected him enough to save him. Come on, Tank. You got this. She wouldn't- He heard the gun cock. Marine… You're screwed.

Her eyes were two different colors. Dempsey felt like her green eye was peering into his soul and her blue eye was burning him alive. Then, Viridian smiled and lowered her gun.

"I am being told to keep you all alive," she said and began skipping around them all in a circle. She was whistling the 'London Bridge Is Falling Down' nursery rhyme, and she didn't have a care in the world.

She was being told? Was there someone else here too?

Nikolai watched her in confusion. "Nikolai is not afraid to beat a woman. Sane or not." Viridian stopped skipping and glared at Nikolai. Nikolai returned the glare. "Richtofen, she is like your spawn," and he laughed loudly. Viridian was muttering to herself in a different language.

"Sie sprechen Deutsch?" Richtofen asked, kind of pleased he may be able to speak his native tongue with someone.

"Ja, meine Mutter ist Deutsche. Ich mage es nicht dein Freund. Die Stimmen sagen mir, ihn zu töten," Viridian said.

Richtofen bit his bottom lip. She heard the voices too.

Dempsey thought the girl was strange and had no interest in pursuing her anymore. He wanted to know what got the sociopathic doctor interested in her as well. Dempsey noticed the doctor licking his lips too, and usually does that when zombie blood was being splattered all over him. Speaking of zombies…

"Guess what," he warned, reaching for his gun, "we've got company."

The guys were already armed and looked over at the zombies approaching them. Viridian clapped in delight like how I child would when getting ice cream. "You're right! Let's play tag," she gasped at her idea and her eyes and smile grew wide. "Anyone who gets touched dies." She ran out towards the zombies, gun in hand, and started shooting mindlessly. The guys looked at each other.

"Richtofen," Nikolai said, "Perhaps these Nazi zombies were not the only children you produced, no?" he burped and laughed above the screeches and gurgles of the zombies. Richtofen ignored him and opened fire.

The voices in his own mind were screaming at him though. Why didn't you kill her? Jump into the pit of zombies! Kill every moving thing here now, idiot! You're such a wimp! Kill the girl and don't say anything about it! He was developing a massive headache from the voices. They always caused his head pain whenever he disobeyed them. He wanted to shoot his head sometimes so the voices would go away, but then he wouldn't be able to enjoy the blood anymore.

Takeo claimed the lobby and the room next to the lobby. Nikolai said he'd be in the alley way, which was a shock because he wouldn't find any vodka out there. Dempsey said he'll get the dressing room and the one next to that, leaving Richtofen in the theater. Viridian was prancing around everywhere; jumping off of objects, doing cartwheels, and running from room to room. She'd bump into someone every once in a while, clear out an entire room by herself, and then leave without saying a word. This seemed to have gone on for hours as dogs started appearing with zombies. There were some victory approval comments from each zombie slayer every once in a while and jokes, and then there'd be some insulting comments from everyone seeing as they all didn't like each other. There were times when Richtofen would pay a little more attention to Viridian whenever she ran by rather than the zombies, which resulted to him being swarmed and having to be rescued.

"I'm running out of ammo!" Dempsey was yelling. He ended up knifing his way through the zombies to reach the box. He was in desperate need a gun. He checked to see what he got and- "Oh freaking GREAT!" he yelled as he saw the teddy bear. He made a run for the stage with a train of zombies and dogs running after him.

Richtofen noticed as he saw the marine running for his life. He told himself to remember to tease him about it later. He smirked and shot at the train of zombies that were aching to eat Dempsey's flesh. He only got a few of them when he noticed them explode due to green rays contacting their bodies. Viridian had the ray gun and stole Richtofen's kills. Furious, Richtofen started shooting at Viridian, and missed with each shot, and almost hit Dempsey.

"Ah! Hey, watch it, Edward!" Dempsey flipped of the doctor.

Richtofen pushed past the marine, almost knocking him down. "You ugly American! Get out of ze vay!"

Sheesh, Dempsey thought, what got in his pants? He noticed more zombies and dogs coming his way and he ran to catch up with Richtofen and Viridian. Takeo was able to witness the entire seen and shook his head in such disappointment. He wasn't getting as swamped as Dempsey was, but he was running out of ammo. Thinking a max ammo wouldn't be dropped anytime soon, he ran to go find the box. Nikolai hardly got any zombies. He hid in a dumpster in the alley happily sipping down vodka.

"What a good spot to hide vodka. Behind dumpster," he sipped more of his vodka and was content for the moment.

He heard a commotion outside and decided to take a peak. He saw Viridian skipping out of the theater with a ray gun and Richtofen running behind her shouting. Then he caught a glimpse of Dempsey running close to Richtofen's ears and saying he needed more ammo. Behind the three was a group of zombies and dogs running after them. Nikolai took the bottle of vodka he was drinking, left the rest behind so he can get it later, climbed out of the dumpster, and started shooting.

Viridian shot down a few dogs that had caught up to her. She wasn't watching where she was going and ran into the fence. Nikolai threw a few grenades and shot at the remaining zombies that made it through the bomb. Viridian stumbled backwards, and she couldn't see straight.

"I've got you now!"

Richtofen pinned her to ground, knocking her guns out of reach. He had his gun up to her head and his knife to her neck. Her skin color was unclear because of all the dirt and blood caked on her. You could see the flakes of dandruff in her hair as well. She didn't look very appealing in her state. She soon realized Richtofen was on top of her and she tried thrashing around to get him off, only to have her cheek sliced and a small cut on the side of her neck.

Nikolai nodded in approval at keeping a woman in her place. Depmsey didn't know whether to help her up or just let the doctor do his business. Takeo soon joined them and exchanged looks with Nikolai and Dempsey, clearly uncertain what to do. Depmsey saw a glow and jumped up in happiness.

"Better not get that damn teddy bear again!" he examined the box and managed to switch guns.

Richtofen smiled manically at the new cuts he caused her. "Vell, little girl. Any last vords?"

She spat in his face. As he was distracted by her saliva on his face, she managed to twist the knife around and stab him in his shoulder. "GAH!" he yelled. He pulled the trigger and barely missed her head. Richtofen glared at the now smiling with her ray gun in young girl.

"Just a few..." she released one of the green balls of destruction at the doctor but hit a dog. Confused, she stared at the dead dog.

"Fluffy," Richtofen said, taking the knife out of his shoulder and licking the blade. "Vas zat you?"

No one noticed the lazy fog creeping on them. They all huddled together in a circle and shot at the dogs. "Do not zink zis is over!" Richtofen shouted at Viridian.

"Blah, blah, blah," she mocked. "You just love hearing yourself talk."

You're just going to let her talk to you like that? Spineless scum! Richtofen's headache was getting worse as the voices rattled his brain. Sure, he wanted to kill her, the voices were praising him for having her pinned down, but his body wouldn't listen to the voices.

Whimpers and snarls from dogs echoed throughout the entire area as they came and blew up. As the last dog died, Richtofen turned his attention back to Viridian. He was prepared to do what the voices were commanding him to do. Just as he turned around, he saw her dashing away.

"Hey! Get back here!" he chased after her. Dempsey sighed and was feeling annoyed.

"Those two... Hey, Nicholai," Depmsey said. Nikolai looked at him with his vodka bottle still in his hand. "What were you doing in the trash can?"

"Oh! I was..." he hid the bottle behind his back. "I was just looking for... food..."

Dempsey looked inside the trash can and caught sight of the vodka bottles. Nicholai rushed over in defense and swatted Dempsey away. "Alcoholic," Dempsey muttered.

Takeo scratched his head with his hat on and placed his other hand on his hip. "Do we go after them?" That was a good question, actually. If they didn't then Viridian would die for sure. If they did, they could save her and have her join them. And then there was her little mental disorder...

"We have enough crazies," Nikolai said as he grabbed the rest of his vodka, clearly talking about Richtofen.

"Good point," Dempsey said. "Let's see if there's any grub around here."

The trio went back into the cinema and did further investigations. They didn't really find much the first time they showed up here, but then again they didn't really try looking. Surely this theater had something to eat.

"Vere did you go, verrückte kleine Mädchen," Richtofen sang. He lost sight of her as she kept turning corners so abruptly. She couldn't have gone too far without the doctor noticing. "Lassen Sie mich behandeln Ihre Wunde." There was no sign of Viridian though he could smell her blood. The stench of the zombie's blood filled the room, but he could smell hers specifically. "The voices tell me you're near, ja?" He laughed a little.

"You know the voices too?"

Richtofen nearly jumped out of his uniform. Viridian was behind him. She zipped and buttoned her but ripped up pants and Richtofen had the gun pointing in her face.

"I'm tired," she yawned. She stretched out her arms and turned around.

"Stop running avay!" he grabbed her shoulder and spun her around. She looked really annoyed and she scrunched up her face like how a child does when pouting. Richtofen glared at her. "I hate your eyes. Stop doing zat!" he struck her across the face with the butt on his gun. Her head turned sideways and her hair flung in her face. She grunted upon being smacked and looked back at him with a bruised cheek.

"They're telling you to stop," she said. Richtofen laughed.

"Your voices can't control me. I'm Edvard Richtofen! And I'm gonna be your doom!" he laughed maniacally and cocked his gun.

She looked at him with no expression, not even glancing at the gun. "No you're not." then she giggled and her face went back to expressionless. Her eyes grew lazy and her head started bobbing.

"Oh no! No, no, no, no!" he grabbed a fistful of her hair and held her head up. Stop messing around and kill her! Then shoot yourself!

It's true, he couldn't just kill her. It didn't seem so simple when it came to her. She was a schizophrenic like himself. She knew the voices were there too. He found someone that could relate to him. He-

She fell asleep and her body went limp. She dropped her ray gun and the only thing keeping her up was Richtofen's grasp. He let go of her hair and she flopped on the floor with a a hard thud. Now what can he do with her? Set her on fire! Blow her up with the ray gun! You're a freak! No one can understand you!

Richtofen sighed. "Vat a pain," he rubbed his forehead and remembered about his injured hand. It wasn't really bothering him; he barely realized it. "I zouldn't get involved vis zuch..." he shuddered. For once, some creeped him out.

How long have they been killing zombies? Another wave didn't appear to be coming any time soon, and the others were probably tired too. His stomach growled and he thought it was telling him to rip out his intestines. What a nuisance; to be hungry at a time like this. He couldn't remember what he ate last or when. Then he looked down at Viridian. The voices were telling him to leave her be, the zombies will get her before she wakes. After a few minutes of fighting with the voices, he grabbed her ray gun, picked her up, and flung her over his shoulder. She was really light. "Ze voicez ztrongly dizapprove of you, but I'm ignoring zem. Be grateful you ignorant dog."

I don't want to get straight into the love stuff, so just wait by the next chapter or chapter four. This story is based on my imaginations for whenever I'm playing the game, so I don't really have an idea of how many chapters there will be. And band camp is starting in two days and it'll be fore two weeks with only Sundays off. So if I'm lagging on updating, you know why!
