That was the best night's sleep Richtofen had in a long time.
Just one simple song was all it took to calm the voices? He never tried singing before, but maybe he could try. Edward, du dumme niedrige Lebenserwartung Kraut! Hör 'auf, schwach! Das war verdammt ekelhaft!
Richtofen wished the voices would calm down. It wasn't so bad. Seeing as the voices weren't going to let him go back to sleep, he got up and looked around. He was the first one awake. His eyes drifted to Viridian. She was still curled up in a ball she fell asleep in, unmoved. He took off a glove and cupped the cheek she kissed before going to bed. Maybe it wasn't so bad, and his heart pace went back to normal.
Soon after Richtofen woke up, Dempsey soon stirred awake. He yawned and looked around. Takeo woke up and scratched his mustache. He took one of the apples and began munching on it. Nikolai was still snoring away, and Viridian was still asleep.
Dempsey peered down at the theater from the window. The zombies haven't appeared yet, or none that they could see. "I gotta take a leak," he said. "Someone wake Nik and Viridian so we can leave." He felt too lazy to do it himself. Richtofen went to Viridian and gently shook her awake. Nikolai was harder to pry out of his slumber, so Takeo kicked him lightly; enough to jolt him awake.
"My vodka..." he mumbled. Takeo shook his head and helped the Russian man up to his feet.
Viridian squinted her eyes up at Richtofen before getting up. She was in that state again where Richtofen could do a number of horrid things to her, and feel completely happy doing so.
"Get up," he ordered. She slouchily got up, but not as fast as Richtofen wanted. "I said get up!" he kicked her in her side and she yelped and was knocked away a few feet.
"Hey, Richtofen!" Dempsey said.
Richtofen glared at the American. The voices were happy with what he'd done. He looked back to Viridian and that wave hit him again. He felt sad and confused as to why he just punished her.
Viridian glared at Richtofen and he swallowed. "I'm up, you dick!" she had a hand on her ray gun. She stood by Dempsey, folding her arms across her chest and not looking at Richtofen. Feeling awkward, he stood by Nikolai, well away from Viridian. They teleported back to the lobby and by now they were use to teleporting. Without any sign of zombies, Dempsey waddled underneath the stair case and relieved himself. Nikolai didn't care, he just pulled down his pants. Takeo pulled his hat down and walked away. Viridian didn't seem to notice. She had a hand on her stomach though. Takeo gave her the rest of his apple and she happily accepted it. Richtofen couldn't place a finger on to why she looked different each time she woke up.
Viridian kept clutching her stomach and grunted softly. There was something with her, besides the obvious. Nikolai zipped up his pants and Dempsey came back to join them. There was a low moaning in the distance. The zombies were coming.
"Let's hope we get a max ammo soon," Dempsey said checking out his guns.
"Maybe if we ask little girl nicely," Nikolai said.
The windows weren't a threat to the zombies as they use to be. The five of them aimed in every direction that the zombies would come from. Moments later, there wee zombies running towards them from the theater and gas zombies crawling down from the walls. The group fired at will and were divided as more and more came pouring out after them.
"Freak bags!" Dempsey shouted. The insult was useless to the zombies.
Pretty soon everyone was scattered all over te cinema. With each passing wave more and more zombies came to attack them, and now the dogs seemed to have teamed up with the zombies.
Nikolai got scratched by a zombie on his back for not running fast enough. He dropped one of his vodka bottles and it was useless to get it back. He threw down two grenades once he managed to distance himself from the undead. A new group of zombies charged through the smoke and stepped all over their dead army members. Nikolai cursed and ran again, feeling a little out of breath for the first time.
Takeo didn't have ammo anymore, and managed to skull bash some of the zombies with his gun. He didn't want to use his sword because it made too much of a mess, but the zombies and dogs kept piling up behind him. He ditched his gun after a while of running around and resorted to his sword. Takeo had a lot on his mind that he couldn't just shake off anymore it. The thoughts were getting too intense for him. He knew there was something he was forgetting, but couldn't figure it out.
Dempsey got slapped by a zombie arm when he threw a grenade, he slipped on a puddle of blood, almost became a chew toy for some dogs, and is running for dead life without ammo. He was thankful for all the running he was trained to do back in the marines. He caught up with Takeo and saw him hacking away with his sword. Dempsey nearly squealed in delight when he saw a zombie drop a max ammo. He lunged at it with all his might, reloaded his guns, and began firing. The max ammo rang throughout the entire place and everyone reloaded.
Takeo bowed his head slightly to Dempsey, and he returned it with a salute before running off again. Takeo would talk to Dempsey first about his thoughts before speaking to Nikolai, and not say a word to Richtofen because it concerns him.
Viridian was pacing herself while she ran, turn around and hop backwards while she shot at the zombies, and start jogging again when the dogs came at the front of the line. She was very resourceful with her surroundings and didn't get a scratch on her. She made a few stumpy zombies once she was done with her paparazzi, and danced around with a corpse.
She was lost in her own little world until she was bumped into. She managed to catch herself before face planting and saw who it was.
"Come vith me," Richtofen grabbed her wrist and dragged her along. The stumpy zombies she made were more interested in going after Nikolai, as he barely had any zombies and dogs chasing him. Richtofen pushed her through an open window and the hid away from everyone else.
Once they were settled, Richtofen began, "Vat do your voices say about me?"
Viridian looked confused. He tried again. "The voices tell me to kill you each time I get. They're yelling at me now. But I can't because you're wide avake. And then when you barely wake up, I can strangle you all I vant and not give a damn at all." He was inching closer and closer to her face as he spoke. "Now, vat do your voices say?"
She paused, unsure if she should answer. "They tell me to kill everyone, of course. And if they get too much out of control, I sing." She grabbed her stomach and had pain written all over her face.
"Did you get hurt?" Richtofen moved her hand away from her stomach to see if they're any cuts. He didn't see blood on her stomach, but on her pants instead. He saw blood, but there weren't cuts. "Zat is a blood stain then?"
Viridian slapped him. His face stung and he yelped in pain a little.
"I need a woman!" she yelled.
Richtofen didn't understand what she meant by that. There were only men here, obviously. Where else could she find a girl around here? Viridian looked very annoyed and upset. She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Not like you'd understand," she muttered.
Richtofen looked around to see if any zombies spotted them. "Maybe I will?"
She frowned at him. "I'm on my period."
Richtofen heard about that before. He even dissected a female to see where it came from, and came up with nothing. "Anything I can do to help?"
Viridian's face softened. "A tampon or pad would work. Something to soak up the blood."
To soak up the blood? He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cloth. "This iz all I have with me at the moment."
She snatched it and ran off to get privacy. Richtofen stayed put and kept watch, and a few seconds later she was back looking happier. "All done!" She smiled. Richtofen looked around.
"Where's ze-" he wanted to know what happened to the cloth.
"Not a place for a man," she interrupted. She sat down next to him again. "So, is this all you wanted to talk about?"
Richtofen thought. Get her gun and shoot her ass! "Ja, for now."
Viridian got up and hopped through the window without casting another glance to Richtofen.
I wanted to add more to this chapter, but it would've been a while until I had it finished. It isn't much, but it's something for now. Also, I currently have another story in mind. It'll be more like a comedy journal (I'm hoping it would be funny anyway). Thank you all for the reviews and waiting patiently! I'm not a very patient person myself. Band camp is almost over, so once that's out of the way, I'll have more updated chapters and stories :)
