Ava And Ivy

Chapter 2

A/n  thank you so much for reading this chapter!<3

*Ava's POV*

Her hair was so soft and smelled like coconut. I wondered where Ivy got the shampoo from.

"I would rather you didn't pull my hair just to smell it, which is weird in itself. " Ivy complained "Do you mind?" And she flicked my hand away before adjusting her hair-tie.

"This is why we never hung out before like, everyone here died. You're just so unlikable with your nitpicking." I spun around with a smile on my face and started walking away to my house.

She sighed, not saying a word back.

I stood by the shadows and climbed roofs on my way back to avoid... well, death.

I'd often imagine what it would be like if a zombie apocalypse started, when we all thought it could never actually happen. That's why I had started learning self defense and why I also build a tree-house in the first place. I know it sounds stupid, but as a young teenager I got so excited about that type of stuff it was actually concerning.

Finally reaching my street I relaxed.

Something fell behind me.

I turned with my bat ready, but all that was around was a few zombies crawling towards me, and a crumbled body on the ground.

This wouldn't be surprising if their skin had been a faded puke-pale green, and some part of the body was decomposed, or a bone had been sticking out. However, they seemed a bit too human.

"Jeez, the heck?" I whispered in disbelief before stepping froward. I poked them with my bat, yet there was no reaction except the occasional movement of the chest going up and down with each breath. I rolled my eyes and grabbed them hoping that they weren't infected before getting out of the open and to my home.

With a small struggle of dragging them through the gate without either of us getting bitten or a zombie getting let in the garden I now lived in, I finally set them down on the grass and patted them down for weapons and injuries.

No way in hell I was getting assassinated in my own garden by someone I saved.

I stripped them of their shirt to check their torso before finally feeling satisfied this mystery human was not going to change into a zombie nor attack me with a knife, or something.

But I still needed to know how to get them to wake up and stop wasting away on my property.

"If I find you gone when I come back my confidence will plummet, so you better stay put." I sighed before jumping over the circle of water around the tree that held the tree-house I lived in these days.

"Ava, I have an experiment on expiration dates to conduct, this better be important or I will hang up." Ivy groaned through the phone, making me roll my eyes.

"I found a living thing, can you come over and help me wake them up? I think they have a concussion or something."

"...I was going to tell you to get it to my place and hang up, but you said 'they' and now I'm intrigued. Is it human?"

"Maybe?"

"I'll be there in a few minutes. If I find out you adopted a zombie or something like that I will end you. Got it?"

"I- Just get over here as soon as possible."

And with that I hung up, and nearly jumped down the ladder to see if the alleged human was still there.

Yup. Maybe my self confidence will survive another day.
