Life And Death || Gonner x Reader (Mummy I'm a Zombie)

"Talk Of The Dead"

You wake up in the cemetery once more. Swiftly, you sat up to see Isis and Gonner sitting nearby and chatting. "How did I end up back here," you shout, furiously.

Gonner and Isis look at you. "Dixie brought ye back here earlier this mornin' after ye ran off into the forest," Gonner explains.

"It's not safe for zombies out in the sunlight," Isis lectures.

"How many times do I have to say this, I'm NOT DEAD AND YOU'RE CRAZY!" You yelled violently, much angrier than before.

"Look at ye hands," Gonner begins. "Ye skin is pale, some ye bone is showin' and ye be smellin' rancid like the rest of us."

You sit there silently, refusing to accept the truth, "That doesn't mean I'm dead."

Isis stares at you for a brief moment. "Wow." She begins to speak, " I never thought I'd meet someone more clueless than the hopeless romantic. "

"Ouch, ye didn't have to go that far, Isis." Gonner winces. "But ye is right about- wait, we never got ye name." He looks at you, curiously.

"Oh my gosh, I thought you'd never ask." You hissed sarcastically.

"No need for sarcasm, but what is your name?" Isis asks excitedly.

"My name is Y/N, happy?" You groaned.

"Yes, very!" Isis smiles. "By the way, that's a really pretty name."

"Thanks, but it's kinda basic if you ask me," You mutter.

"Well, it's a good thing we ain't askin' then, 'cause there's no need for negativity amongst this crew." Gonner pridefully exclaims.

You sit there briefly, "If you don't mind me asking, how did you guys die," you whisper just loud enough to be heard.

"Oh, well the first time I was devoured by crocodiles, the second time I died of natural causes," Isis explains.

"How could you have died TWICE? It's not possible," you replied.

"Well, I got a second chance because of Dixie and the Azoth, me and Gonner both," Isis informs.

"The Azoth? What's the Azoth?"

"It's a magical gem that can open a portal that will restore a zombie's life to the moment before they died, giving them a second chance."

"Oh, that's interesting, Gonner, how did you die?" You looked at Gonner.

"Oh, uh, I prefer not to talk about it, it's not very interesting anyways, trust me," Gonner explains.

About an hour passes by, Gonner, Isis, and you have been chatting when suddenly Gonner asks an intriguing question.

"Y/N, what's the last thing ye can remember from before ye woke up here?" Gonner questions.

"The last thing I remember is..." you take a moment to think before answering, "It was a Friday evening, I was in the car with my mom, we were on our way home from the store, next thing I know everything's gone black, then I woke up in that coffin or tomb thing." you rant on.

Gonner and Isis look down briefly before looking back up at you.

"Ye died in a car wreck? I'm so sorry ye had to go out that way," Gonner says with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Nobody deserves to die in such a way, maybe when Dixie comes back tomorrow night we can ask her to see if your mom is okay! And if she is then there's some good news, if not then I'm just gonna feel really bad for it." Isis goes on, "Of course, we would need to know where you lived so she could go and check on your mom..."
