Emilie: Here's the second chapter
Pit: Why are you writing your full name?
Emilie: So people won't confuse me with Emi, my OC.
Link: Okay.
Ike: Emilie doesn't own anything but the plot and her OC.
Marth: And don't ever call me Prince Pretty Pants again!
Roy: Lol, onto da chapta!
Emilie: You still say that?
Roy: It's funny.
Chapter 2
The bus was packed and were ready to drive, the small group of survivors only had to wait for Emi to get the gas cans. Link walked over to the couch and shook the other Hylian lightly. She stirred then looked up at him. She got up.
"Okay, I'll go get the gas cans now." she mumbled and headed out, halting a bit. Mario walked over to Link and walked with him as they walked to the bus.
"Why did-a she agree?" he asked curiously.
"Since I threatened sending Pit instead she agreed going herself." Link said simply. Pit looked confused.
"But why?" he asked and walked into the bus with the rest.
"Oh, she has special feelings for you." Link explained turning to face the now blushing angel. Roy noticed and elbowed Pit.
"You like her too?" he asked teasingly. Pit stirred and turned redder and shook his head.
"N-no!" he stuttered.
"Declination is confirmation!" Roy teased and dodged the punch that came from Pit. Marth walked in between them.
"Don't fight. Spare your energy until we need it." he said. Ike walked over to Roy and pushed him into one of the seats in the bus. He then turned to Pit and did the same.
"Why'd you do that?" Roy asked angrily.
"Emi's over there with the gas cans and a bunch of walkers." Ike said and pointed. The others looked in the direction Ike pointed and saw Emi running towards the bus. Mario started the motor and readied for full speed. Emi jumped into the bus and Mario quickly closed the doors and drove off.
Emi set the gas cans onto the floor and secured them before collapsing onto a seat. Pit walked over to Emi and sat down on the seat beside her.
"How are you?" he asked, not coming up with anything else. Emi sat up and he noticed blood on her forearm.
"What happened?" he yelled panicked and grabbed her arm. He noticed that Emi blushed when he did. Ike looked at the two when Pit yelled and saw Emi's injured arm.
"Were you bitten?" he asked panicked. Emi shook her head.
"No, there was a walker beside one of the cans and it managed to-" "Bite you?" Roy interrupted.
"No, it clawed me." Emi said and sighed. Pit ripped some cloth of his tunic, began pressing out blood from Emi's wound and started bandaging it up when he had pressed some blood out.
"What are you doing?" Emi asked surprised and a bit red in her cheeks, she was breathing a bit faster than usual.
"Bandaging up your wound. It could get infected if not." Pit replied and smiled up at her. She smiled back, blushing a little, but her eyes a bit faint.
Marth was sitting in the back of the bus, silently celebrating their escape. Peach and Zelda sat behind Mario, who was driving. Link was asleep on two seats while Ike, Roy and Pit was worrying about Emi, who had started shivering.
"It's cold here." Emi muttered, wrapping her arms around herself in an attempt to warm herself up. Pit placed his hand on her forehead, but quickly pulled it back.
"You're burning up!" he exclaimed worriedly. Zelda and Peach looked at Pit.
"Who's burning up?" they asked. Mario did a sharp turn and they almost fell out of their seats. Emi fell onto Pit's lap with a little whimper as if it had hurt.
"S-sorry." she muttered, but kept still. Pit placed a hand on her head.
"Emi's got a fever." Roy piped up from the floor. Ike had managed to push the teen onto the floor in an attempt to gain balance. Zelda struggled out of her seat and walked clumsily over and sat down on one of the seats in front of Pit and Emi, Peach on the other.
"Did you bring any antibiotics?" Pit asked. Zelda and Peach nodded.
"Good." Ike said. Emi whimpered as the bus hit a bump in the road.
"I don't need any medicine." she murmured, then coughed. Marth had heard Pit mention antibiotics and stumbled his way to them.
"Here." he said and handed Pit the medicine. Emi managed to get up from Pit's lap and leaned against the window.
"Don't waste medicine on me." she mumbled weakly, then bent over in a coughing fit. Link had awoken from Emi's coughing and climbed his way over the seats to them.
"What's going on?" he asked sleepily and rubbed some sleep out of his eyes.
"Emi's sick." Roy replied, falling back into his seat as the bus hit another bump.
"What?" Link asked, thinking he heard wrong.
"We think she has a fever, and probably a cough." Zelda informed.
"Did she get injured and get an infection?" Link asked, suddenly awake.
"She was clawed by a walker, but Pit bandaged up the wound, so that can't be it." Ike replied. Emi whimpered as the bus hit yet another bump and her left foot crashed into Pit's right. This did not go unnoticed by the angel.
"Does your foot hurt?" he asked. Emi nodded slowly and coughed a bit again.
"May I check it?" Pit asked. Emi nodded again and lifted her left foot up, shifting into a position so Pit could get a better look on her leg, and rolled up the leg of her jeans a little. Her friends forgot to breath when they saw the infected wound on her leg.
"Why didn't you tell us you were hurt?" Pit asked, sounding a bit hurt himself.
"N-not important." Emi mumbled back, semi-conscious.
"How long have you had this wound?" Ike asked, also concerned about the elf. Emi thought for a bit. It looked like she was getting sicker by the second.
"When I first hid in the freezer three days ago." she finally said. Marth gasped.
"Then you gotta take the antibiotics this instant! Some people have died from untreated infection!" he exclaimed worriedly. Apparently Emi did not hear the prince's words, because her head had slumped against Pit's shoulder. Pit quickly checked her pulse and sighed in relief. Peach quickly went to the back of the bus, and returned with a first-aid kit.
"I saw some syringes inside it, one of them has to be one that could save her." she said searching the kit. She found the syringes and began reading on the instructions on what each cured. She brightened up when she found one for critical infections.
"Don't worry, I've had medical education." she said and grabbed Emi's arm. She struck the syringe into the unconscious Hylian's arm and injected the medicine. Emi stirred, but remained unconscious. Link took a shallow breath.
"Will she be okay?" he asked, worriedly.
"Unless we were to late, she'll be fine." Peach said, smiling slightly.
"Then all we gotta do is hope." Ike said. Everyone nodded, then sat down in their seats. Marth yawned.
"We should get some rest." he said and stretched. Then everyone went to sleep, except Mario, who was still driving.
The next day Mario and Marth had switched. Now it was the blue haired prince that steered the bus and the short, chubby Italian who got to sleep. Emi had not woken yet, and Pit was starting to worry.
"Shouldn't she be awake by now?" he asked Peach worriedly.
"She may awake any minute now, so relax Pit." Peach said for the tenth time.
"Yeah, keep your panties on Angel Face!" Roy piped up, only to get a punch in the face.
"I'm worried about her, that's all." Pit said, looking over at the sleeping Hylian, with a tad sad expression.
"Link's worried about her too, but is he nagging? No!" Roy exclaimed.
"That's because he's the Silent hero." Pit argued.
"He's not that quiet when it comes to planning!" Roy argued back, raising his voice.
"Because he has great ideas!" Pit reasoned, also raising his voice too.
"Zelda's worried, she doesn't nag either!" Roy practically yelled back.
"Because she's talking with Peach!" Pit argued, lowering his voice a little, to not wake Mario.
"Marth's worried, he doesn't nag!" Roy argued back.
"He's driving." Pit hissed, giving Roy a death-glare.
"Ike's worried too!" Roy growled back, returning the death glare.
"He's talking with Link." Pit sneered, and crossed his arms. Roy finally shut his mouth, he looked like he swallowed back the urge to rip the angel's head of.
"I'm worried too." he finally whispered. Pit narrowed his eyes, not hearing what Roy had said.
"What?" he said. Roy bit his lip.
"I'm worried about Emi too." he repeated louder. Pit softened his glare.
"And you're not nagging because your afraid that people is gonna think of you as weak." he said and put a hand on Roy's shoulder as the boy slowly nodded.
"I'm sorry I made you worry." said a weak voice. Pit and Roy turned their attention to Emi, who still had her eyes closed. She opened her left eye carefully and smiled weakly at them. Pit dried away some tears of joy and hugged her. Emi hugged Pit back, but weaker than usual. Pit finally let go and kissed her forehead without thinking. Emi did not think she had ever blushed that much before. Roy clapped his hands.
"Welcome to the world sleepyhead!" he exclaimed. Ike and Link looked at Roy questionably. Pit smiled.
"The sleepyhead awoke!" he said. Emi elbowed him lightly in the side.
"Well excuse me for getting sick!" she said teasingly. Pit ruffled her hair.
"We're just glad you're back." he said and smiled. Suddenly Marth yelled out and slammed onto the breaks. The wheels whined as the bus went into a quick halt, and everyone lost their balance.
"MARTH!" Ike yelled and stumbled over to the driver's cabin and glared at the blue eyed prince.
"What the hell was that for?" he asked angrily.
"Don't you see the crashed cars in front of us?" Marth replied, pointing to the wrecked chaos in front of them.
"Oh." Ike muttered. Pit and Link also came to see what was wrong and frowned at the sight of the crashed cars.
"Marth, open the door." Link said, looking at the wrecked cars on front of them. Marth looked up at Link, nodded and opened the door. Link looked at Roy, Ike, Marth and Mario. They looked back at the hero, waiting for orders.
"We gotta clear the road, come on!" he commanded, the other males running out first and Pit running up to Link, stopping him from going out.
"What about me?" the angel asked.
"Keep an eye on Emi." the hero responded.
"Why? Peach and Zelda may do it." Pit argued.
"If she gets cold, you could wrap your wings around her." Link replied.
"Besides, someone needs to watch the bus." he added, when Pit was about to pretest. Pit stepped back and nodded. Link smiled, then ran out to move the cars with Ike, Marth, Roy and Mario.
It had been an hour since Link & co went outside to move the cars. Peach and Zelda were chit-chatting about random things, while Pit and Emi were looking outside, on lookout for zombies.
"Hey look!" Emi said, and pointed at something. Pit looked in the direction the elf had pointed and frowned.
"That's only a house Emi." he said, petting her head. She shook her head and pointed at the house again. On a closer look, Pit saw writing on the front doors. He jumped out off his seat, ran out of the bus and towards the house, Emi on his heels.
"Survivors?" Pit read out loud when the two reached the door. He walked over to open it, but Emi took the sleeve of his sweater and held him back.
"There might be zombies in there." she warned, slightly hiding behind his left wing. He looked down at her and gulped, reaching his hand towards the doorknob.
