Duck Drama

Chapter 52- Athena

Athena POV

I narrow my eyes at the creature limping towards my sister.

Zehra slowly turned and froze.

"Zeza..." Zombie Liam growled out, it reached an arm out towards her. "Mine..." It said.

I watched as Zehra's eyes rolled to the back of her head and she slumped in Dewey's arms, passed out cold.

"Hell no!" Matt snarled.

I glanced at Matt, and he and I locked eyes.

For what it was worth, we may have a personal vendetta against each other, but we sure as hell weren't going to let anything happen to our sister.

Louie stood between us, I can sense his over protectiveness over me already. It was sweet, in a way, but I didn't need to be protected.

I raised my hand, as if it was second nature to me, and my mothers cross bow appeared out of thin air, along with a single bow with a golden tip.

Louie's eyes widen.

"Since when can you do that?" He asked, impressed.

"Since now." I replied as I mounted the arrow against the bow and took aim as I pulled back the string.

"How much do you think each one of these are worth?" Louie asked.

He moved in front of my line of shot and tapped the end of the arrow with interest. I squinted my eyes at him in annoyance.

Seriously?

How was he not effected by the site of this creature?

"Duck!" I snarled him, releasing the arrow just as the Zombie Liam came up on Dewey and the passed out Zehra.

He did.

The arrow hit the zombie square in between his shoulder blades. It shrieked out in agony just before it exploded.

Zombie guts spraying over Dewey and Zehra.

Silence followed with nothing but Zehra's breathing and heavy whimpering.

Dewey hugged her close and looked up at me in shock.

"What the hell was that?" He demanded to know.

"A zombie." Louie answered for me.

I glanced at him. He beamed at me and grabbed my hand, squeezing it slightly.

"No. I meant, why? Why was he able to come back, and as a zombie? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" He shouted.

I flinched at Dewey's raised voice.

"I think-" I hesitated and swallowed hard. "I think I ought to fill you guys in on something..."

ZEHRA POV

I dream Liam is chasing me. In a void full of white, it's just us two, and Liam's chasing me.

But he wasn't the Liam I knew.

He was dead.

A zombie and had incredible speed.

I couldn't shake him off and before I knew it, the zombie Liam was on top of me. Devouring me, biting off each of my fingers, toes, arms, legs.

He saved my head for last, and after he poked out my eyeballs and ate them, I heard him say:

"You are mine. Forever."

I start screaming in the dream, and soon, I realize I'm screaming in real life too.

"Zehra! It's okay! I'm here!" Dewey shouted over my screaming.
