As soon as I made my way to the new area the figure showed me, I got lost part way. The figure jumped down and hand me it's hand to let them lead the way for me. I was wondering why does it jump down like that but I guess it didn't really want to tell me. Maybe they can't speak. Maybe they aren't used to me, whatever it is, seeing them jump down like that kinda scares me a bit. As we was walking down to the area, I felt upset. The figure noticed it and it stopped me.
I had my mask taken off since it was only me and the figure. It tries to get me to say something to it but I didn't speak. It then put it's arm on my shoulder and even though their expression can't change at all, it actually cares for me. I still didn't say anything and we went to the area that the figure dragged me into last night.
As soon as we walked in, a couple of other zombies tried to run up to me and the figure had to stab them in the hip to get them to stop. They ran faster then lighting has ever happened. It seems to be it is either protecting me or the zombies are scared of it. Whatever it is, we are at what seems to be a dinner area. The chef noticed I was new and was able to speak English.
"You new here? I haven't seen you before?" -The chef asked. He is the same as everyone else, dark green skin and he wears a mask at times, just like myself. Clearly he isn't like me but something else.
I am new here, thank you for asking. -I said
He isn't pleased with me already.
"Look, this isn't the time to be a bitch okay? We have rules here." -He said. He then hand me a leg to eat. "We have a nearby library here, every new person here get a rule book for free. Don't lose it, you are gonna need it." -He finished
We both head to a table and we finished eating. Then the figure send me to a library. As soon as I walked in, the lights was dim. I couldn't really see but I noticed I see some red eyes shining at me. It was getting closer until I finally see it.
"Good to see you again." -The vampire greeted.
The figure and the vampire both shook hands. I was surprised. I thought only zombies was here, guess not. The vampire then look at me.
"Jayla ALT, I heard about you thanks to him." -The vampire said. They also pointed at the figure. "Here, you need to keep this with you at all times." -They added
They then hand me a rule book and I walk over to a sofa and sat down and read the rule book. The book has over 300 pages and I read through it. There was important rules to go through that I really need to follow.
• Don't cause a fight
• We can leave the building to see families and friends or head to school, but we have to come back when it's midnight unless you are recognized in the building
• Be cautious about anyone trying to fight you
• You can not eat other people
• The building is your home, don't mess it up. Meaning you need to clean up your room and help others
• Blood and Human supply will come every week. Save them up if possible, you might actually be friends with them. Treat them like us, not vases.
• There are 3 types of punishments. If you break one of the rules, you will be punished.
As soon as I finished reading the book, I closed it and sigh for a bit.
Someone is gonna start a fight at some point on my first day, I just know it. -I thought.
As soon as I said that, a alarm was ringing hard and I looked around like a earthquake was happening.
