Creativities Dead End (Book 1, Series 1) (Zombie Apocalypse Au)

20

It was a cold night and a large truck idled in the road. It was supposed to be calm

"God damnit!" Robin yelled as he held his arm. He pulled out his first aid kit before noticing crude messages carved into his truck. "Virtual-" He growled.

He opened the back door a sift through his bag full of clothes and weapons and empty beer cans.

Robin grabbed a full beer can and took a swig. "Fuck-"

He then came across Ezmeralda's phone that laid in the back seat and glared. His face already looked like shit and the glare made it worse.

"I'll fucking kill that fucking girlfriend of hers..." He muttered as he wrapped his arm up with bandages. "IM GOING TO KILL EVERYONE IN THAT FUCKING CAMP!"

He grabbed the phone and threw it into the ditch. His blood boiled.

"And I'll-"

Robin noticed a shadow and he turned, pulling out his knife.

His eyes adjusted to see a tall man standing before him with a smirk of the devil.

"Hello there."

Ezmeralda sat next to the shore and watched the water rush by. She sighed softly and crossed her arm over her stomach.

Her thoughts were overwhelming and she didn't know what to say. If Ezmeralda was honest, she didn't know what to do.

And the one person she wanted support from wasn't talking to her. Great.

Ezmeralda closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She grunted in pain from her arm and winced.

"Ezmeralda-"

Ezmeralda screamed and turned to see Daylan. She sighed in relief, "Hi-"

"Hi..."

Ezmeralda sat there awkwardly.

"Oliver wants you back to the medical cabin..." Daylan stated softly.

Ezmeralda nodded promptly, looking away. "I'll be there in a second...."

Daylan nodded. He stood there for a moment before clearing his throat, "Thomas... um... Thomas wants me to tell you that he and Denton have started dating."

Ezmeralda got up and sighed, scratching her head, "Wow... okay." She muttered, "Tell them that I said congratulations."

Daylan hesitated, "You don't seem too excited-"

Ezmeralda looked at Daylan, "No- No I'm excited... I'm happy for them." Ezmeralda said as she kicked some dirt.

"Then what's wrong?" Daylan asked as he leaned against the tree.

"How's your stab wound-" Ezmeralda asked.

"Ezmeralda- Stop"

Ezmeralda shook her head and looked away, "I'm upset that Thomas didn't have... that he didn't tell me that- ugh!" Ezmeralda groaned. Daylan stood there awkwardly.

"I thought the years of being childhood friends that Thomas, even though he is upset with me, would tell me that he..."

"Started dating someone?" Daylan finished.

Ezmeralda nodded and opened her mouth to say something but closed it as she tried to think of what to say.

"Yeah... or at least Denton could have told me... don't know what I did to him...." Ezmeralda shook her head, "You know what, Whatever. They are happy and that's great."

Ezmeralda hopped and smiled. "Well, I better go see what Oliver wants! Have a good day Daylan!" She exclaimed before walking off.

Daylan watched Ezmeralda walk off before looking at the water.

---

Ezmeralda walked into the main part of the camp and two people caught her eyes. Thomas and Denton were leaving for a supply hunt... or something. Ezmeralda sighed and walked into the medical cabin.

"You wanted to talk, Oliver?"

"Oh, Oliver just went looking for you!"

Ezmeralda screamed and looked over to see El and JJ sitting on one of the cots.

"Why!? He asked Daylan to go get me-"

"Oh- well- he just wanted to check up on your wounds." El said as he looked at his bandages.

Ezmeralda sat there before the door opened and the door knob hit her lower back. She yelped and turned to see Oliver.

"Oh good! You're here!" Oliver said as he led Ezmeralda to the other cot, "I need to clean your wound."

"I think you just gave me another one," Ezmeralda grunted. "Why do you need to clean it? You cleaned it this morning-"

Oliver started smacking her shoulder with paper, "Go! Sit!"

"Oliver! Stop!

"Sit! Sit!" He yelled as he continued smacking her with the paper. "Sit down!"

"No!"

Oliver thopped her over the head with it and she whined.

Ezmeralda sat on the second cot and huffed.

Oliver threw the paper on the cot next to Ezmeralda and grabbed bandages.

Becca and Kira walked in. "Jean wants everyone to know that Lunch is almost ready. Adam and Alistair came back from hunting 10 minutes ago." Becca stated.

"Yeah! Today is fish.."

"Thanks!" Everyone said.

Kira and Becca waved before skaddadling away.

Suddenly Ally and Kitty walked, both having hurt themselves on the fire.

Hulu walked in with them and suddenly Oliver forgot about cleaning Ezmeralda's wound.

Ezmeralda got off the cot and stood up, sneaking away.

Ezmeralda turned nearly running into Nari. She yelled before sighing, "My god-"

"That's like the 3rd time you've screamed Ezmeralda. What's up?"

"Nothing! Nothing!" Ezmeralda laughed as she scooted past Nari. "I am just going to talk to Jean- I'll be back."

Nari raised a brow, "I'll go with you!"

(Sorry but it's a calm chapter)
