Zed Pov:
"So here we were, off to a town where there was another zombie like me and Rev in a town. Where it's possibly infested with not so friendly people, or should I say monsters. While I'm not afraid to do whatever it takes to accomplish either a football game or even that of making sure zombies get the proper treatment. This feels out of my element, I don't exactly find myself going off fighting something that's bigger and really much more freaky. However, I'm putting it aside because this 'Tunrida' sent a boar man after Addison. The same girl that accepted zombie culture, let alone wasn't afraid of me or even the entire half of the zombie community in town. So I'm willing to head into a town which is possibly full of hostile people, and to find that guy and punch him in the face for possible threatening Addison. I just need to not get so fired up and keep a cool head."
Forest-Afternoon
Walking pass the tree's and small streams of water was Baba Yaga's house which was walking, as it was making strides across the ground. Inside however, was different to which Addison. Had a very old map of Suburbia, which shows the buildings as well street corners. Everyone gathered around it to look at how they were going possibly find the zombie girl.
"My dad had these when Seabrook used to visit Suburbia. As well that it could help us know the area, since will be visiting the place."
Addison explaining to them that when things were normal, Seabrook would visit up on the town. Though now with it being cut off as well considered a ghost town, they'd need at least a game plan once they arrived. While that was happening, Night wing who while was walking with Zed and Addison threw town informing their parents of a small 'trip' they were taking. He gotten that of several herbs and perfume bottles for them, in which he mixed himself.
"I'd like to tell you all that this is not, a social greeting. We're tracking possibly a literal demoness, who has taken over not just a zombie girl. But a entire town no less, as well have turned it into her private home. So, it's always good to have the appropriate body spray."
He told them that it be possibly they be dealing with some unsettling beings, in which he showed them six small body sprays for each one. Three for the girls, and three for the men. Each of them took a look in which there was a strong like scent from them.
"What is this, poison ivy?"
Willa asked at how strong the scent was, though the ingredients of it was strong enough to wave off even a banshee. For the boys theirs smelled like rotten weed, spraying a bit across their necks as well the vicinity of their body.
"It's sure no flowers, but good enough to keep anyone she made away from us. So, when in Rome they say."
Rev stating that this should help out as he made sure both he and Wynter got enough to protect themselves, taking the moment. They saw threw the windows of the walking house on how they were moving away from the limits of Seabrook. Zed, walked over to the window seeing the tree's as well that of the other parts of the forest.
"You know something, this is the farthest part I've ever been outside of Seabrook. It's, kind of exciting."
He spoke as Zed and possibly the other zombies in Seabrook weren't able to head off outside of the town. Seeing how it was possible other humans didn't know about them, let alone of they'd freak out and locate the source. Rev, walked over as he was in the same predicament as himself. Seeing how he didn't venture this far away, or rather to a different part of the environment.
"Yeah, same thing for me bud. As well how I didn't my first time would be going into a town full of danger. But, first time for everything."
Rev responding back to Zed giving him something to think about, the football zombie nodded to him. As well felt that of the house stopping making everyone hold on to something, the six got confused on why the walking house stopped it's moving. Along how soon saw Baba Yaga, came from her room after focusing on keeping them out of sight from human eyes.
"This, is as close I can be."
The elderly witch talking to them along of having a expression of fear, as well knowing what lied ahead would be dangerous. Feeling the house going to the ground, the door opened up showing it was the afternoon. As well a road right in front of them, which would take them to Suburbia. Looking at one another, they each stepped out of house and looked down the road seeing they were close to the town.
"Is anyone a bit excited for us to walk down like those human movies with the cowboys? Cause I'm kind of liking the moment."
Wynter unable to express that during her times with Revenant, they watch a old western film. As well a classic showdown with the people walking into town, however this was different. As they all were outside, they saw how Baba Yaga stood at the entrance of the door looking at them.
"I could say good luck, but it's a human fable. The only thing I can advise, is to not show fear."
The witch telling them of how luck wouldn't help them, as well to be brave. Baba Yaga soon tapped on the wooden floor of her house as it soon rose up. Everyone moved back as well saw the two legged building leaving them, as well heading back to the forest. The six, looked at how the afternoon was slowly changing to night time.
"We should get moving, the night will not be on our side if we're going on Infernal property."
Night wing speaking to the five knowing the forest would be against them, keeping close as well staying together. They all begun to walk the roar seeing no signs of Suburbia. Continuing their walk, they saw how the sky was slowly getting dark. Let alone of how they could feel a cold like sensation coming from behind their backs.
"If possible, let's try and be friendly? I know that if we talked to this 'Tunrida' we can get to that of a understanding. Or at least learn why I was invited here."
Addison suggesting that of a peaceful manner in which if they would be heading into Suburbia. They should act sensible as well not fight anyone, though for the others. It wasn't going be easy, since this woman sent a beast after her. While most of them would want to protest against the idea, they couldn't argue since they needed to be clear minded.
"Well at least let's protect you? I love you for being open, but we need to show we're not defenseless."
Zed admitting that he cared for her, as well how that they came to make sure nothing bad could happen. From the looks on their faces, they were determine to watch over her. Especially, that when Zed left he brought a baseball bat with him to show he will protect her.
"Even if it means going full jock on them?"
Willa making a joke about how with him being a natural athlete, he could handle moving fast and taking some punishment. The other's couldn't help but smile at the comment, as well during their walk. They noticed something, a light coming up their way. Two lights coming up in which apparently was set up for them, as they continued to walk. The six soon see that of the entrance of Suburbia, as well the two tree's lite on fire.
"I guess this is for us then."
Revenant stating from how the fire was burning, as well how that it brighten up like a light pole. It seemed like a entrance for them, keeping close as well making sure to keep their eyes across the entrance. They slowly entered to where they soon noticed the buildings, so far it seemed alright. Though the place looked like out of a nightmare with the gothic like design as well of several fires lite up.
"Well. It does look welcoming, and not so. Foreboding."
Zed spoke as he looked around the places, so far the stores had food as well opened. However, there was one thing that the town didn't have. People, it felt empty let alone had no one walking the streets or noticing them. It felt off, as well they continued to walk down the block.
"So we don't see Tunrida. That boar guy or even anyone. Maybe this was a way to scare us. Or maybe some joke.."
Wynter suggesting since this environment felt like a graveyard, though as they looked around. Revenant's amulet begun to glow, let alone of how it's small glow begun to show a sign of something happening. Keeping Wynter close to him, the six soon heard that of some footsteps. While the six did travel through the town, they reach that of the city hall building. Coming down from the stairs, was that of a cloaked woman. In which they noticed her, as well how they noticed from the person it looked like the same zombie from the files.
"Lulani?"
Addison asking as it was her actual name, however for Willa. Along with that of Night wing and Revenant, they noticed the horns on the sides of her forehead. Along of her violet eyes looking at them, in which it wasn't the zombie girl from the files.
"No, Tunrida."
Revenant calling out seeing how it was the infernal, as she was somehow possessing her body. Let alone now had made it hers, they kept close to Addison not letting the horned zombie get to close. However, she merely smirked as well looked at Zed who held his bat tight.
"Bearing arms? A bold move. However, what can you bear against someone like me."
She asked them as well looking at the metal baseball bat, to which Tunrida noticed how Zed aimed it at her. However, raising her left finger the infernal zombie melts the metallic bat. Zed, quickly dropped it as well saw how it melted on the ground turning into goop.
"That was my dad's bat."
Zed spoke sadden like as well feeling a bit weak in the moment, however the infernal smiled at the sight. Along turns her back on them in which they still weren't so trustful for her display of power.
"No need to be afraid, I only eat ignorant humans."
She told them with a sinister like smile which made them a bit creeped out, as well turned to Addison seeing she was human. Though not exactly mean or rude, it was made them even more protective over her. Not having any choice, as well noticing that of some eyes appearing from the shadows as well other windows. Willa as well Wynter could smell them surrounding them, which meant it be better to stay with the woman.
"Not saying it's a good idea, but we should follow her inside."
The alpha suggested as the environment was getting a bit serious, along how the doors were slowly opening. To which they were hearing some groaning, not taking any chance. The six decide to follow Tunrida and head into the building as well avoid whatever might be looming in the buildings, though on the side was the boar like creature Brùnaidh making sure the creatures stay at bay.
"Our lady has them, now we wait."
Speaking to them making sure none of them tried to approach them, until it was the proper time. It bothered him at how the zombie boy was with them, to which he growled in a angered tone as well rubbing the side of his broken tusk. Though Tunrida gave him orders, to wait and be patient.
Inside City Hall
As the six Seabrook citizens followed their mysterious host, most of them noticed the town's portraits. In which instead of human culture, it was her story. So far from how they looked, it showed nothing but fire as well individuals with her. It got them both interested as well a bit worried seeing how it showed Tunrida trying to conquer her enemies.
"I have to say your history is, epic."
Revenant breaking the silence as the horned zombie woman merely kept quiet, as well looked at the portraits showing her past life. As well how in each one, they only showed her with a hood as well being engulfed in flame.
"To some, humans. Would find it horrifying, let alone that in my life. All I seek, was to find place in the world as well others."
Tunrida informing them about how in each one, it showed the creatures that in Night wing's studies as well several Rev fought against. Followed her, though at a price of destroying human towns as well becoming a army of darkness.
"Though that leads to resistance, as well a downfall no less. Correct?"
Night wing asking which somehow was answered by another portrait, it showed her struck down by that of humans who knew how to handle her kind. As well weakening her, which soon led to a retreat. As well her wandering in a forest, as well fusing herself to a tree during her last moments.
"Yes, but with every fall of a powerful being. Comes the unexpected, as well from the dead."
Responding back to him at how the next one, showed the zombie girl Lulani walking upon her. As well biting her, during the moment. Tunrida took her body, as well now resides in the zombie now. They soon appeared into the office, where she had decorated in her own image.
"During that time as well in a new body. I stumbled upon this town, as well like any other human town. They were afraid, angry and especially antagonized by my approach. So, for the last sixteen years. I turned Suburbia, into my home. Or rather, kingdom to be old fashion."
Finishing her introduction of how she came to this town, as well was similar to Seabrook going against something like her. However instead of them winning, Tunrida took over. Sitting in her chair, as well snapping her fingers. There soon came that of small like creatures, having some chairs for the six. The young adults got surprised by them, as well how they were given chairs. Soon enough they sit down as well still kept their guard up.
"What about the people? What did you do to them."
Addison speaking out as well getting defensive, seeing how none of them saw any humans. Tunrida, saw the look in the white haired girls eyes of how this scenery was out of a nightmare. Tunrida, merely smiled at her as well would answer Addison's question.
"The people? Well, while in the past I'd burn them. Or possibly be fed to my faithful ones. However, I decided to do something else. Which, was to let them run away."
Surprising them with that finishing sentence, the six looked staggered about how this being. This demonic like woman let the humans that hurt her in the past go, to run away from her sight. She noticed the look on them, seeing how it was impossible.
"That's, nice."
Wynter spoke out at how while what she's done was rather messed up plus terrifying, it was at least good for Tunrida to let the humans leave the town when she took over. Rev, merely holds her hand seeing how there was something else to follow up in their discussion.
"Because at the same time, when the humans made up stories for us. Creatures in the dark, I decide to do that to them. Make them stories, to hide away from the sun. Especially now, with a town like yours existing. Thanks to you."
Turning her attention to Zed, Addison as well Revenant. Since they themselves helped Seabrook open up to zombie culture, along of assuring that of showing they weren't monsters. The werewolves and fruitpire looked at their companions as well could see they had made a reputation in Seabrook, though they didn't expect it to be heard from the outside world.
"The zombie that tried so hard to be apart of human life, the boy who's parents helped learned to control the strength as well raised him like if he was their own. And lastly, the girl."
Looking at Addison, in which the girl felt the weight of the room on her shoulders. As well Tunrida's eyes gazing upon her, in which Addison felt her body going cold since whenever they was something strange or wrong. It always, came down to her."
"The white haired girl. The one human in the town to stand against her own race, as well stand with others. Which is why, I wanted you to come."
Talking to her as well the others who came, in which this felt like a deal was happening. The infernal being, looked to the right as well makes a map appear showing her town Suburbia. Which was close to Seabrook, apparently the Infernal had a plan that involved them in which the six remained quiet.
"From what I was told, the humans in your town still are afraid of zombies and werewolves. As well continue to treat them like mistakes, work with me. We can all take Seabrook for our own. Combine both town's into a kingdom of monsters. United by us."
Giving them a deal that would drive out the human population, as well allowing zombies and werewolves to takeover. From how she spoke to them, Tunrida looked serious on how with their knowledge as well with her power. Seabrook would end up just like this, a empty town with nothing but darkness. Along now noticing some creatures coming out, as well looked ready for a hostile takeover of Seabrook.
"No."
Addison spoke out as well noticing how that while Seabrook was still having trouble with sharing the town with other species, this wasn't the way to do it or rather letting Tunrida do this.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for how humans have been to you. Along the hate you have, but it won't do anything but bring sadness. As well lost, the way to bring people together. Is understanding, not anger."
The girl spoke out as well refusing to do this, as well the others seeing how it would start up the dark ages. The infernal saw the expressions of standing up against her, in which. The woman merely lowered her head, as well slowly enough smiled at how that although the lives they had along of growing up in a town of humans fearing them. They wouldn't turn their back on them, it made them forget their true nature.
"Well then, don't say I wasn't civilized."
Telling the six as somehow manipulated the tree's behind them, to grab only five of them. The only one left was Addison, to which she kept the human girl in place while the tree's in the back. Carried the others off, looking now afraid. Tunrida was showing her true side, as well walking to the girl with her violet eyes looking down at her as Addison couldn't break free from the chair.
"Let's, possibly try this again. Without, the company of your friends. Yes?"
Asking her as Addison saw the others moving away, in which she remembered what Night wing told them all as well Baba Yaga. Don't show fear, in which Addison looked at the Infernal with a look of strength like how she showed her true hair color to the people of her home. This time, it had to be for a much more serious situation.
Later
Outside as well walking away was the others, along how they tried to break out of the walking tree's branches that were wrapped around them. Revenant, tried using his strength to break free as well break the wooden limbs. However nothing happen, the large tree continued to walk away from the building that had Addison in it.
"I thought those cologne's were suppose to help us wing?!"
Zed shouted as well did his best to wiggle out of the branch, however the tree was taking it in as well removing it from their bodies. Rev, trying to pull out his gun and shoot at the center of it's face. However, it moved Rev around making him drop his gun. To only have it land on Wynter's hand, she looked worried as well never wielding a gun before.
"Just shoot the bark, imagine it invading the den!"
Willa shouted as well trying to not get dizzy from how it was wailing around, in which when her alpha said those words. Wynter, had her moonstone glow as well got herself angry. In which, using her left hand that was holding her zombie boyfriend's gun. She let's off a shot which fired right into the bark, the bullet was strong enough to splinter it as well stop.
"Oh no."
She spoke as Wynter and the others felt the tree, slowly collapsing onto the ground. Everyone fell as well hit the ground, shaking from the heavy fall. They all got up rather shocked at how they were picked up from the room and took them away from the building. Zed, was still surprised at how fast it happen along angry as well seeing Tunrida keeping Addison with her.
"We need to go back, we gotta go back and get Addison before that crazy woman does something to her!"
Zed spoke out letting both his anger and hesitation get the better of him, however Rev walked over and calmed him down. Let alone made sure that he focused, since they needed to now head back to the building since the large tree took them on the other side of the town.
"Will get her back, but we're right now unwanted territory as well will be possibly chased after. So we need a plan, and a place to hide."
Calming his friend down, along of how that they were taken away from city hall as well in the shopping district of Suburbia. As well hearing something, turning over they saw that of several beings walking towards them. They somewhat looked like zombies, only they had no meat but showed skeleton. Moaning as well looking at the five, it seemed they were going be keeping them here. Night wing, noticed the bottles broken on the ground when they fell.
"We need to head to a store, now!"
Night wing called out as well seeing those minions of Tunrida would attack them, looking around. Rev pointed at a hardware store, to which they rushed over as well broke inside. Making sure to barricade the door as well make sure none of them broke in. They noticed the walking minions coming to them as well banging on the door and the front.
"Seriously? A shop with tools? You know werewolves can't use silver."
Willa calling out on the bad choice of coming here since half of the stuff in here was silver. Though what else was in this small shop was tools, supplies as well items they could use. To which he smiled at the sight.
"It's more than a shop, it's a workshop. And we need to get building."
The zombie spoke out to the four as how in these desperate of situations, as well seemingly overwhelmed with something they can't handle. It was time to get creative, to which seemed rather crazy. Right now however, they would take the exception as well prepare to arm themselves and head back to city hall and rescue Addison from whatever Tunrida had planned.
