New life
Poland gently opened her eyes. Her whole body was sore. She was very disoriented as she sat up. Her wings were an absolute mess, some of her body was eaten. Most of her clothing was all ripped. Poland was surprised.
I was... eaten?
After a few moments, she stood up and walked out the room slowly. The body of 'Russia' was outside. She inspected it carefully with her eyes. And then sighed. Poland wandered around the hotel calling out for Germany and Hungary. She went upstairs but it was empty everywhere. Then she saw some zombies. Poland freaked out as they walked towards her, but then they just simply walked past her. Poland was in shock. She ran to a random room to look at herself in the mirror. Poland cried when she saw herself. She was a... zombie. Her face was all bloody like the rest of her body. She looked absolutely torn apart.
Poland stormed out the room in anger. She walked out the hotel for good. Thoughts flooded her mind.
Where was everyone?
Where is Germany?
Where is Hungary?
Why am I conscious as a zombie?
Poland sighed deeply. From now on, she'd have to be alone. The infected country wandered around the abandoned streets with a zombie appearing once in a while. It felt good to no longer be afraid, but she felt so terribly lonely. All she wanted to do is see Germany one more time. Just once more.
Poland was free to do whatever she wanted now. She decided to get herself some new clothes so she walked into random stores. She wore a black tank top with baggy pants. Something caught her eye.
Rosja?
Poland ran out the store after him as he was turning a corner but once she got there, it was empty with no country in sight.
"Hey! It's a zombie with wings!" a country called out. Poland's eyes widened. He held his gun pointed at Poland. "Come on Switzerland, shoot her!" Another called out. Poland started to run away from them as they chased after her. Poland's wings were damaged, and she had not used them in years, but she was determined to start trying again. Poland spread her large white wings out and started to move them. It hurt so bad, but she carried on. The countries were about to shoot her but Poland managed to fly up over a wall before dropping down to the floor. Poland smiled to herself, proud of what she had done. But then she looked up to see four countries playing cards. Poland's heart dropped. The others were just as shocked, but they didn't seem to be normal either.
"Poland?" Slovakia called out. Slovakia had seemed to have an eye missing and her face had cuts all over it. "Are you all... zombies?" Poland asked. They smiled warmly. "Yeah, me, Italy and Albania are zombies. Czechia is the only one who isn't." Slovakia said placing down a card. "Ah shit, you win. Hey Poland. Long time no see!" Czechia smiled. Poland nodded. Italy and Albania shook hands with Poland. Each country has a story to tell with their scars, and Poland felt much better about being a zombie. "Why are we all like smart as zombies? Aren't they all brainless?" Poland asked. Italy laughed, "No, of course not. There's three possible things that happen when you get bitten. One, you die. Two, you get infected and become a 'dumb zombie'. Three you become an 'intelligent zombie',like you and me. Four is very rare, you survive but that's basically impossible. We haven't found anyone that's survived being attacked. Anyways, being an intelligent zombie is pretty hard to be too." he explained. Poland listened closely. "Zombies release a poison when they bite you which infects you, but sometimes they just.. don't release it." Albania added on. "Oh, I see. That's interesting." Poland smiled. "Yeah! It is huh."
"What do you eat?" "We don't eat other countries because well, we're aware of what we're doing and it's disgusting. Zombies aren't hungry much anyways. We always have animals too. I only eat once every two months" Slovakia told her.
Poland felt at comfort with these countries, of course she missed Germany, Hungary and the others but she knew if she'd come back she could be looked down on. She didn't want that. "So, where do you guys sleep and stuff?" "Slovakia and I used to own a tiny cafe with a small apartment above it, that's where we all sleep" Czechia said with a raspy voice whilst grabbing Slovakia by her waist. Slovakia giggled and was all flustered. Poland smiled widely. "Oh shush you flirts. Come on, let's show Polonia where we live" Italy laughed. They walked a street down to see the bakery. It wasn't large or anything, but it was really cute. The walls were crème coloured with white stripes. The menu board above with all the types of meals and drinks that they served was all pastel and cute. Poland was in-love with the cafe and the way it was designed. "Wow! I really love this, this is soo cute!" Poland squealed. "I KNOW!! That's the way we made it!" Slovakia joined in. Italy and Albania went upstairs while Poland, Slovakia and her lover sat down at one of the tables in the cafe downstairs. "Aren't you worried for him?" Poland asked. Slovakia shook her head and smiled. "Czechia said I can always turn him into a zombie incase anything happens."
Czechia laughed nervously. "It doesn't matter, I truly love you as human and as zombie. I just wish to be with you at all times" Czechia said grabbing Slovakias hand. She laughed. Poland was happy for the couple, but her heart ached for Germany. Severely. She really missed him. The country didn't realise how attached she was to him. "Do you kiss?" Poland asked awkwardly. The two countries nervously laughed. "Why, does that matter to you?" Slovakia smiled. Poland looked down in embarrassment. "Sorry for asking such things. This is all so new to me.. I'm very confused you know." Poland shrugged. "We understand, let's show you your new room! It's really small but it fits a bed so that's all that matters!"
The countries went upstairs and Poland walked in. The room was tiny, fitting one small closet and bed. Poland didn't mind that much. "Thank you guys honestly I don't know what I would have done without you guys and-" "Shh, don't worry about it!" Albania said cutting off Poland. They all hugged each-other tightly in a big group and Poland was weirded out slightly, but the embrace hypnotised her.
