Thumb*

Thap*

It sounded like an army of zombies..

Thump

With the sound of a footstep,

Shivers went through my spine, who could it be? Be it a zombie or not I will protect Arthur.

As I felt a touch on my shoulder... I grab the hand and with all my strength I roll him over which forces him to fall back. That caused quite a scene with dust covering the face and sounds of the broken bone were heard.

                                             It was a human

What was he doing? Why did he approach me? How did he survive and more importantly did he get infected... Questions were swarming my head. I have been wondering where he came from but before I let the questions take over my head. I tied him down with a bunch of clothes to the wall, to avoid him escaping and to force him to answer my questions.

Arthur was awake from the nap and he wondered what caused the noise, he looks ahead and saw dead zombies that I've killed which were attracted from the noise.

Arthur POV

I woke up due to a loud thump noise, I looked ahead and I- I was afraid. There were dead zombies everywhere! With their brain smashed and none was alive... I searched for auntie, I was very scared if something happened to her. Where could she be?

Then I heard footsteps...

Auntie? I spoke out with my crisp voice

I saw shadows wandering over; I got up and looked for auntie. I noticed that there was a crack on the floor and a human was tied to the wall. "Uh mister is out cold, possibly passed out, where is auntie..." Eyes were looking everywhere except the place with shadows looming.

I grabbed the knife auntie gave me and headed over there...

Was it auntie? I hope it is, I miss her. I can't be a coward, I need to look for her in case something happens.

As predicted it was a female zombie, her skull smashed with her teeth rotting out. Her twisted ankle she got for trying to stand up and with dark veins and blood on her face, there was a hole in her stomach. Does becoming a zombie mean immortal? I gulped my saliva and I was praying that I survived to see auntie.

The zombie lashed out and her arm was reaching for my body, I luckily managed to avoid her hand and cut it off but even with her hand gone. Her mouth was filled with drools and she still hasn't died.

Crap... Why didn't I attend the soldier's courses that mommy asked... Now I am screwed.

I ran and ran and I tried to throw my knife at her heart but she didn't die and in fact, it got stuck there. I can't make it like this with my low energy, Auntie... I began to tear little by little

The zombie was moving faster toward me and before I knew it. Her head explodes. Her brain was shattered and some of it landed on my head. I wipe out my tear and turn around, my happiness is filled and auntie is safe!

"Aun-Auntie... Don-Don't leave me alone" I stuttered that I walk toward and hug her

"I won't Arthur, how could I left a child alone... you really are a cry baby" she responds and patted my head. "Ugh, how did you got some scattered brains here? Disgusting, go wipe it out first, you brat"

Shortly after I wipe my head with a cloth, I ask her "What made you blow the zombie's head?"

"It's a weapon I found and it's keeping me survive" She answered while aiming at something with it.

"Auntie... How did you adapt to this very fast and how did you know how to kill the zombies or use weapons?" I was curious about her, and words come out. Kids cannot resist curiosity after all.

Zarah POV

"Arthur, why do you ask?"

"I want to know Auntie"

I sighed as I glanced at his eyes, oh god. Is he that desperate that he made puppy eyes?! "Alright alright. I'll explain it to you while we wait for that man to wake up" I replied.

I clarified everything he asked. Short story is that, I just happened to know about it with a vision and for the second is that I just watched too many movies and [nightmares]

Afterward, the man woke up in panic, almost causing a scene.

"Whe-where am I?!" The man yelled. "Mister, why did you approach auntie?" Arthur asked at the same time he pointed at me. "How, it can't be... You're just a worthless and pathetic woman! He shouts in rage.

" I refuse to believe that I, Jonathan Lee, was beaten by a useless person that serves no purpose!!" He mocked me face to face not knowing I was behind. I was giving Arthur the shh sign language so that man wouldn't know whether I was there or not.

"Brat! Untie me right now! OR I'LL LEFT YOU ALONE TO ROT WITH THE ZOMBIES" He demanded, he struggled trying to free himself "BRAT I WON'T SAY TWICE FREE ME NOW" He yelled again. Arthur pays no attention to him. He just walks to me and whispered

"Auntie... I don't like that guy, he is trash talking about you... Can I let him go with the zombies?.."

"It's fine really, I also hate it. I'll decide what to do with him, so you should go seek for food or any clean water for our survival..." I responded with a pat on his head.

"Okay..." Arthur went away with his knife

"Now now... What to do" I went up to the guy and crack my knuckle

"You!.. You are the one who knocked me out! Release me right now" He shouts again

But this time he brought some friends...

1.. 2.. 3.. There are around 3 zombies hm, I wonder how long does it take to kill them

"Z-z-zombies! Y-you have no chance to win against them so r-release me!"

"Oh sure, I am very sorry for knocking you out but didn't you owe me an apology for approaching me quietly? I have been wondering what you are up to" I spoke as one of the zombie's hands was trying to get in my face but of course I dodged it since I could hear its growls.

As I dodged it, I grabbed the hand and hit it with a bat that I was holding for quite a while and it fell. I try to hit the head multiple times so it died correctly, the man just stood there frozen.

I wiped the blood on my cheek and went to him. I ask him properly

"Since you are talking high about yourself back there, you should be able to handle a zombie while tied down right?" I smirked, I never got to do this to anyone before for talking behind my back...
