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

It was early in the morning the next day and a camp meeting was called to explain some new information.

"Everyone!" Ezmeralda exclaimed as she stood on a chair. The campers looked at her (besides the few that weren't there like Thomas, Oliver, Hulu... Jay).

"Look..." She sighed, "I would like to start out and apologize for anything that hurt you guys. I should have never let Robin stay and I should have never attempted to leave with him. You guys wouldn't have lost trust in the ability to stay safe here...."

The campers were quiet.

"Uhm..."

Nari nodded softly when Ezmeralda looked at her in fear.

"I-.... I was scared... Truth be told... I'm terrified... especially now." She said with a nervous chuckle. "I ran into him last night... and... it was unpleasant."

The campers' murmurs became more apparent as concern grew.

"What happened-?" Jean asked.

Ezmeralda's breathing became heavy as all eyes were on her. "He... He just..."

Nari grabbed her hand. "He proved that we can't let our guard down." She spoke up. "We thought he was gone, yet he showed up and he wasn't going to back down."

"I hope he gets in an accident and dies-" El muttered. JJ nodded in agreement.

Lockhart, Alyssa, and Alec looked around in confusion. Who's Robin? What did he do?

"Who's Robin?" Alec asked.

The campers looked at the three before looking at Ezmeralda.

"Ezzy's bat shit crazy ex...." Alistair stated.

"He stabbed me." Daylan piped up.

"He threatened us all..." Ally mumbled.

"But..." El muttered. "I think we can all agree that Ez had it the worst."

"Yeah... he..." Becca continued before being cut off.

Ezmeralda shook her head. "No... no... I was used to it. I'm fine, see! Nothing out of the ordinary-" She mumbled. "He's dangerous. Just... if you encounter him. You should run...." She stated as she looked down at her abdomen.

Everything that was different about her was Robin's fault. The scars. Her arm missing. Her being pregnant (because even that wasn't a mutual decision).

"O- Okay-" Aylssa mumbled as the three looked at each other. They could tell it was a serious thing that wasn't something the camp wanted to talk about.

"But I want you guys to be careful. I don't know who all is on his hit list... but his eyes told me he wants blood to be spilled..."

"It's cold... I should have grabbed an extra jacket." Spot hummed as she rubbed her arm.

"Jean told you to!" Virtual laughed as she threw the duffle bag of supplies over her shoulder. She breathed in.

Spot glanced over at Virtual, "Hey, what if we run into Robin?"

Virtual pulled out a knife, "Then we are going to fucking kill him and take a picture and then show it to Ezmeralda so she can finally live in peace again-"

Virtual noticed the glint of piercing eyes behind them in her knife and gasped, only to be cut off by a sharp pain to the back of the head. She stumbled forward and was grabbed by a pair of hands.

"Shhhh!" A voice hissed as he covered her mouth.

Virtual struggled against him, her yells muffled.
