A/N Yep. Zombie Apocalypse. I don't own Left4Dead. Or Soul Eater. Or Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. I'm not awesome enough. Nor am I sane enough. Brandon's age remains a mystery and Alice has a breakdown! Maybe she's bipolar.
"We need to get home so we can sort this out." Alice looked at the girls. "They can stay with us."
Samantha looked hesitant. "Y...You're academy students, right?"
"Yep! Why?"
"OK, thats good. You're on our side."
"Wait, you're a student?" Brandon asked, grabbing the 20 gauge shells.
"Yes. I'm a meister in Mrs. Marie's class. My sister is my weapon." Samantha explained.
"What kind of weapon is she?" Alice asked.
"She is a chainsaw."
Alice just stared at her. "...A...Chainsaw? That innocent-looking girl... a chainsaw?"
"She's older than she looks."
"She looks like she's six."
"She is eight."
"Huh. How old are you?" Brandon asked, grabbing a 30.06 hunting rifle.
"I'm fifteen years old." Samantha replied.
"I'm the same age as you!" Alice said, high-fiving Samantha.
"Ok then, so you should be able to handle this." he said, handing her a M1 Carbine, grabbing all of the .30 Carbine rounds he could.
Samantha took the gun. "We should get going." Alice said, walking to the car. Samantha and Abbey followed.
"One last thing." Brandon said, and grabbed a .22 LR pistol and a large box of .22 ammo. "Here." he said, handing the pistol to Abbey. The four climbed into the car, Alice in the passenger's seat and the two newcomers in the back.
Brandon floored the accelorator, smashing into a zombie, and drove to their home. "Home sweet home, eh Alice?" he asked, opening the large garage doors to park the car inside.
"Yep!" Alice went inside. "Awwww, Peter's a zombie... Oh well~! Time to die, bunny!"
Abbey jumped up and down. "Yay! Yay! Yay!"
Alice looked at her before picking her up and smiling. "I...It's a minnie me!"
Samantha looked between Alice and Brandon. "Are you two dating?" Alice, who put Abbey down, gaped at Samantha.
"Oh god no." he said, his face instantly becoming one of disgust.
"Oh... Well that's too bad. You two would make such a cute couple." Samantha replied. Alice fainted from disgust.
"She fainted! She fainted!" Abbey giggled, but no-one noticed.
"She is definitly not the kind of girl who's into dating." he said, nodding his head in her direction.
"Oh, she fainted..." Samantha said.
Abbey pointed at her. "I told you!"
"Goddamit. Not again." he said, picking her up and lying her down on the futon. He then went over to the shower, wet a towel, came back, and put it on her forehead.
"So, what you do for fun here?" Samantha asked.
"We play Xbox and I occasionally play the piano." he said, walking over to the car.
"What games do you have?" samantha asked.
"Do you have Assassin's Creed?" Abbey asked.
"Take a look." he said, pointing to the tv stand where all the games were. He then opened the car door and grabbed two rifles.
Abbey dove into the pile of games. "ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD!" The eight-year old eagerly put the game in the Xbox and began to play.
"Is she always like that?" Brandon asked, taking out more guns from the car.
"Yeah, but she can be adorable sometimes." Samantha gushed as Abbey knifed a random guy in the throat.
"For some reason, I'm doubtful." he said, unloading the ammo from the car.
Samantha unpacked some of the guns for him. "Why does this remind me of Left4Dead?"
"Heh, I've played it so much I know how to prepare." he said, loading one of the .233 30 round clips.
Samantha was hungry went through the groceries. "...Why did you get raw meat?"
"We were going to find a grill to cook it on, but then we ran into you two." he lied, loading his other pistol.
At that moment Alice woke up. And she was hungry. Both of which were caused by the mention fof meat. She took the raw meat from the Samantha and began to chew on it in the corner near Abbey, carelessly tossing the trash aside. Samantha looked at Brandon for answers.
Abbey paused her game and looked at Alice, giggling. "Are you a cannibal?"
"No." She replied blankly.
"Thanks a lot, Alice." he said sarcastically, loading one round into the .44 magnum.
Samantha turned to Brandon. "Explain."
"I'd really rather not." he said, putting the .44 in his armpit holster.
Samantha, whose grip was very tight, grabved Brandon's arm. "Explain. Right. Now!"
"Alice! Tell her before she breaks my arm!" he yelled, feeling the bone begin to fracture.
Alice giggled. "To put it bluntly, Brandon is half insane-most likely because of Asura. And I used to be a Kishin, but I won't hurt you." Alice said. Samantha gaped at them, while Abbey jumped up and down.
"Yay for crazy people!" Abbey called.
"Thank god." Brandon said, rubbing his arm after Samantha let go."You don't need a gun. All you have to do is squeeze a zombie's head with that death grip of yours."
Samantha backed away. "W-w-what do you mean 'half-insane'...? How can a Kishin t-turn back into a human...?"
"It's hard to explain." Brandon said, loading the Mossberg.
Samantha backed up into the wall. "D-Don't hurt me..."
"We won't. We're different." Brandon said, putting his arm through the sling that was on the Mossberg.
"You're demons!" Samantha cried.
Alice was pissed off now. "If you would rather leave, than go! If you want you're sister to die because you'd rather risk going out there with those Zombies than have protection, than fine! It's them or us. Live or die! And if you'd rather die, then go ahead and let those fucking Zombies kill you!"
"Alice! Control yourself! You're only proving her point further!" he yelled at her, angered by her outburst. Alice grabbed her sword and left. "Goddamit. I'll be right back." he said, running towards the door. "And what ever you do, DO NOT go outside!"
Alice had run into quite a few Zombies outside. She killed them all quickly, leaving a trail of blood wherever she went. She stabbed another Zombie. "It's at a times like this where cowards like that would be better off dead!" She decapitated another one. "They can just burn in hell for all I care!" She stomped toward another group of Zombies, cutting some in half, be-heading others. "Humans are useless! WEAK!" She so pissed off. But she enjoyed the feeling. Being mad made her feel powerful. "ALL HUMANS CAN JUST BURN IN HELL!" She yelled, killing off another group of Zombies.
Brandon quickly followed the trail of decapitated zombies, using his shotgun to kill the ones that were covering her tracks. "Alice!" he called out, blowing off a zombies head. "Alice!"
Alice heard Brandon and continued to walk away, murdering everything in her way. "That filthy human better not be following me..."She said, now in her Kishin form. She was killing Zombies easily now, not caring that her meister was following.
She remembered Samantha's words. 'You're demons!' How scared she sounded.
"Demons, huh? I'LL SHOW HER A FUCKING DEMON!" Alice screamed, killing more Zombies. "THOSE HUMANS CAN BURN IN HELL!"
Brandon heard her start yelling again, and began sprinting towards her.
"Alice!" he called, running to catch up to her. He finally did, but to a horrifying sight. He saw Alice, her eyes have turned into a brilliant shade of amber, claws have grown out of her fingers, and her teeth have become more wolf-like than human.
"Alice...What the hell happened to you?" he asked, lowering his shotgun. Alice sent him an angry glare, but didn't reply. "C'mon Alice...it's not safe out here. You may think differently, but you will eventually tire, and it will be a free meal for the Zombies." he said, gesturing with his free hand back to the warehouse.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU WEAK, FILTHY HUMAN!" she yelled with a raspy voice, each word dripping with hate. She ran in another direction, too fast for Brandon to keep up with her.
"Alice!" he yelled, trying to chase after her. He ion stopped, trying to catch his breath. "God damn it Alice, god damn it." he said to himself. A rage soon sparked within him, growing to be a full-fledged hatred, for no reason, but it gave him power. More importantly, it gave him energy and speed. "Goddammit Alice!" he yelled, running twice his normal speed, running over zombies as he ran.
Alice decided she'd let Brandon catch up with her. Then she'd kill him, along with any other human left in Death City and the rest of the Zombies. When he did, she whirled around, hitting him with her fist. He flew into a nearby tree, knocking it out of its roots.
"Oh...fuck." he said, sitting up while coughing up some blood.
Alice stalked over to him, swinging her sword. She'd almost killed him, but anger and hate soon gave way to guilt and sorrow. She ran again, hiding in an abandoned shack. "...Stupid emotions..." She was back to normal now. She wiped away a tear and tried to will herself not to cry, failing horribly.
Brandon saw her run away, and quickly followed. "Alice..." he said, knocking on the door to the shack she was hiding in.
No answer.
He sighed.
"I'm coming in." he said, opening the door. What he saw shocked him. Alice was on the ground, crying. "Alice..." he said, shaking her shoulder.
"I'm sorry..." Her voice cracked. "I'm so sorry..."
"Hey, it's not a big deal. You've hit me harder with your frying pan." he joked, trying to lift her mood.
"I shouldn't have yelled at those two..."
"It's not your fault. It's human nature to get angry when someone offends you." Brandon said, sitting down next to her.
"They were so scared... and I just scared them even more..." Alice replied. "...I really am a demon..."
"No your not." Brandon said, putting his arm around her shoulder. "Your not a demon."
"Whoever sent us here...will pay!" Alice said.
"Yea." he said. He then heard a scratching noise, and turned around. There was a zombie walking through the doorway. He pumped his shotgun, and fired a shell into it's skull, making brain matter fly onto the wall behind it. "C'mon, we have to get back to the warehouse." he said, handing her one of his fully loaded pistols from his holster.
"Yeah, we need to leave," she replied, taking the pistol.
They ran out of the house, Alice covering the front and Brandon covering the rear, putting one round into each zombie's head they saw. They quickly made it back to the warehouse. "We're back." he said, shooting a zombie that was trying to get into the door as he walked in.
"...Are they mad?" Alice asked.
He quickly glanced back. "Not at all. In fact, they look worried." he said, killing another zombie.
"OK..." Alice said, walking in nervously.
"...You two really should go out sometime." Samantha said.
"That is possibly the most disturbing thing I've ever heard." Brandon said, putting the safety on for his shotgun, returning it to it's origional position, which was across his back.
Alice shot an annoyed glare at Brandon. "...Am I really that horrible?"
"No. It's just not exactly the best idea right now." he said, grabbing another .44, loading it, and putting it in the holster where his first pistol was.
"Why am I not believing you?"
"Believe what you want." he said, loading his other pistol.
"So... what are we gonna' do now? We can't sleep or the Zombies might try to eat us..." Abbey asked.
"I'll keep watch!" Alice answered quickly.
"If you're going to keep watch, then take this." he said, throwing a fully loaded .223AR-15 at her, along with a couple of clips.
Alice gladly took the weapons. "Brandon, you said you didn't trust me with weapons..."
"This is a special occasion. Besides, you haven't shot me yet, have you?" he joked.
"...I can't say I haven't thought about it..." Brandon just starred at her.
"Well, the fact that you haven't executed it is what counts. Good night." he said, falling asleep on the futon.
