Chapter 12 - 12: zombie

" Don't move," she said to him as she ran straight to the monster that roared and charged towards her. Shawn looked at the monster and wondered just how that thing could move on four legs in that position.

Lyria and the monster met in a clash but the fight he had expected didn't happen. Lyria slashed both of their heads off the bat together and the heads fell with a plop sound and they both rolled to his feet.

It felt like an offering as they both coincidentally rolled towards him at the same time. He looked up to see Lyria was looking at the body of the monsters.

" It's not dead yet?" He asked her as he kicked the heads to the side and walked towards her. For once she didn't answer him but just continued to stare at the monster body.

When he got there to see what she was looking at Shawn got the weirdest shock of his life.

" What the hell!" He exclaimed out loud as he crouched to see better.

The two monsters were connected but not in the simple sense he had thought. Their lower bodies were the ones that were connected.

It seemed that this two weirdo were having sex after the apocalypse started and girl turned while in the middle and bit the guy.

But unfortunately for them when they both turned to zombies they seemed to have been made into a deal package and remained connected. It's just that they were unfortunate enough to meet Lyria and him.

" We should also be connected," Lyria's came behind him as her hand went around his shoulders she put her weight on his back.

Shawn shivered at that rubbing his arms.

" No, I'm fine being disconnected," he said trying to remove her grip.

He then looked at the the zombie dark blue blood and an idea came to him.

In most scenarios Incase there is a zombie, if one is bitten, scratched or swallows zombie blood then they will turn to a zombie and die.

He thought about it and touched the blood and licked it before Lyria could stop him.

" Gosh that's disgusting," he said as his face crunched up.

The blood tasted as disgusting as it looked. Now he just has to wait for the zombification process and it will probably start soon.

" Are you really that hungry?" Lyrias voice came tinged with worry.

" What the hell woman, do I look that desperate to you?" He turned to her mortified.

He forgot he had licked blood a few seconds before.

" But we still have to connect like them," she said pointing at the corpses.

" Ewe, Why would you use that as a reference?" He exclaimed standing up with her still stuck to him.

He started to feel his stomach cramping, probably from the zombie poison now spreading . He smirked inwardly.

" Promise we'll connect like them," she still insisted.

Shawn smiled cheerfully and turned around and wrapped his hands around her waist pulled her to him. She smiled back at him her face blushing.

" Sure , we'll connect as much as you want," he said as the pain in his stomach got more unbearable. He could feel himself getting light headed.

He was going to die any way and there was no blood in sight since he wasn't injured. He was sure that this time he will die for sure.

He laughed secretly inside, she was never going to have him. He really was a genius.

" That's a promise," she said as she leaned against the hug. Shawn scrunched his face behind her back and crossed his fingers in defiance.

She could only dream he thought happily. She'd really done a number in him and he still held a grudge.

At that time he started to feel the urge to vomit. He released her from the hug and ran to a dust bin at the end of the hallway and started to vomited his stomach out.

" It's black," Lyria exclaimed behind him. She had run after him the moment he bolted. Her heels clicking on the marble floors behind his quite footsteps.

Shawn heaved a few times before he finished vomiting then the system interface appeared Infront of him.

( Poison neutralized.)

" What the heck is this?" He said out loud as he looked at the prompt . Just what kind of bad luck did he have.

He was supposed to be in heaven eating grapes half naked with angles singing to him but here he was still standing on earth bent over a dust bin with a psycho on his back. His mouth tasted foul and he just wanted to go and wash.

" Let's get going," he said as he dragged his feet with Lyria holding onto his arm. He needed water badly. And clothes.

" Don't forget your promise," She said cheerfully

Shawn physically shivered . He really regretted how cocky he had been. He'd practically shot himself in the foot.

" May the earth be burnt," he said trying to pull his hand out of her grip but she stuck to him like glue.

This pervert, Shawn thought giving up.

" System why didn't I turned to a zombie," he asked the system internally. He just couldn't get it,it was poison it should have killed him.

Only two words appeared on the system interface.

( Toxic flesh)

So his poison was stronger than that of a level 1 zombie. Maybe if he found a zombie stronger than himself, he may be able to zombify. He thought to himself.

Fuck his immortal life. Just how hard was it to die.

They arrived at the front of the supermarket to find it closed. Shawn was at the front while Lyria was following behind him drawing diddles on his back from the blood.

The blood itself had started to dry and it was really getting crusty and itchy. He needed a bath again. They didn't meet anything else during the rest of the journey.

He pulled the main door handle but nothing. He pressed his face against the glass to look inside and saw people standing with makeshift weapon looking at the door.

He waved to them try look friendly. He knock on the door politely and saw one of the younger men standing walked to the door and stood at the opposite side looking at him.

Shawn waved his hand at him and signaled for him to open the door. The man looked at him for a while before he pulled open the door and stood back.

Shawn entered the room with Lyria following behind him still drawing.

People gasped when they saw his state.

" Why are you naked?" The man who had opened the door asked looking outside.

It seemed they had not noticed Lyria since she was fully covered by his body.

" He's a nudist," Lyria's head poped from behind him and answered. People started at her as she fully appeared mesmerized by her beauty

Shawn understood then well .

He had also been on the same ship before she threw her sword at him then more annoyed et her as she tried her love therapy shit.

" Are you guys a couyple?" Someone asked from the crowd . Shawn was confused by the stupidity of the question, did they look like a couple. He obviously deserves better than a nut case.

" No," he said firmly.

" Yes," Lyria answered shyly holding onto his arm. Shawn turned towards her shocked.

What was this crazy bitch saying, he thought shooting through his eyes daggers to her. She didn't look at him at all even as he nudged her.

Shawn felt his head was about to explode from anger, now she was playing shy girl or something.

" Wow man that's brutal," one guy said looking at Lyria with pity clearly thinking she was some kind of damsel.

Shawn didn't even try to explain. It would be useless with all the eyes looking at him as though he was some kind of monster.

" Can you tell me where the bathroom is?" He asked the guy who opened the door.

" Just go straight and turn left and go through the staff only there is a bathroom there," Shawn nodded and headed to the clothes section.

He heard heels following behind him.

" Why are you following me?" He whispered harshly to Lyria who was still following him.

" I'm not," she said as she headed to the female clothes section.

He went to the male clothes section and picked black jeans and a black t shirt that seemed to be the only sixe that fit him.

He put a few clothes into his space before walking to the bathroom. The supermarket was small so the clothes weren't a lot.

He had to go to a mall and do a full shopping he thought as he entered the bathroom putting his towel on a bench outside. There was only one bathroom in the place so he wanted to hurry before Lyria came to wash.

Shawn had just turned on the shower when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He was very familiar with the touch.

He turned around to see Lyria standing Infront of him. She was fully naked and her hair had become wet from the water.

She is nuts once more, was the only thing that came to his mind .
