Zombie Tommyinnit : I'm So Cold

Chapter 6 : Nightmares

*darkness stretched out before me, ever expanding and never ending. Everywhere i looked, i saw nothing but pitch black. But something in the darkness caught my eye, something green. I reached my hand out and it seemed to get clearer, but further away somehow. I tried running through the vortex of black, towards the green and white glimmer in the distance. But as i got closer it got further and further till it was gone. I was now fully left alone, nothing beside remains...*

I gasped awake, grasping for air I didn't need. My rotting heart beated for a second before stopping as usual, as i opened my eyes to the blinding light, so different from the dream before. I squinted, trying to look around to see what had happened. 3 pairs of eyes seemed to be staring right at me, and i could hear the pitter patter of rain against the ting of the metal car hood, where we were all inside of. I remember this car! It was the one me and bean were searching in! Bean... bean! I looked around quickly, not bothering to look at the three people staring at me. I let out a sigh of relief to notice Bean was seated on my lap.

Then I finally looked up at the three, immediately recognizing them as the ones who had chased me from their car earlier. I also felt a pang in my head when I looked at them, but it felt to be dulling now.

"Your awake... that's good" the wavy haired man beside me said with a sigh of relief, not wearing the beanie i saw him in earlier. The one at the stearing wheal stayed silent but kept staring at me with his blue eyes, yellow hair kinda messy as if he couldn't sleep in a while. My thoughts were interrupted as the pink haired man spoke up with a grunt "you've been dead for-er, asleep, for a few hours... you collapsed on that building and we brought you here in case you came alive, or woke up i mean... your heart still isn't beating, is it? But we kept you here cause you kept twitching so we had some sort of hope" he ended, blowing a bit of hair out of his face.

"O-oh... yeah i... i think I'm a zombie... just, more alive? I don't know, but I don't feel like wandering around and eating people so I think that's a good sign" i said with a shrug, my voice also feeling a bit better, still scratchy but definitely improved.

"Do you remember... who we are? W-who you are?" The man with blonde hair at the wheel asked, with a bit of nervousness in his voice.

I slowly shook my head, immediately feeling regret as i saw their faces of remorse. But the wavy haired man softly said "I'm wilbur.. we uh, used to know eachother"

The pink haired on nodded and said while staring right at me "names techno. And your name is tommy"

"Tommy? That's me? That... sound poggers" i said, ignoring the pang in my head from hearing my name, slightly dizzy but as soon as it came it left. They all let out a small chuckle at my words and the blonde one said "yeah... you always loved saying those weird words... pogchamp, primes, etc... I'm Philza, but you can call me phil" he finished and i nodded "awesome! Now that i know all your names, you should know my little friend!" I cheered as i picked up my raccoon and held her like a baby in my arms "Her name is bean and she is a queen!" I said in a rap song kinda voice, trying to be funny. It worked and the other three all laughed "classic toms" techno snorted, shaking his head fondly. "I am tommy and i am a zombie!" I joked again, feeling as though it was natural to do small raps with funny lyrics. Suddenly techno started to make weird beat boxing sounds kinda sounding like a pig snort, but they felt oddly familiar. "*bah bah bah* I am awesome, i am awesome! *bah bah bah*"

We continued to make a weird rap, techno making his beat boxing sounds, me rapping and phil and wilbur just laughing at our song. This lasted for around 10 long minutes before we finished, laughing hysterically. But a scratching and banging near wilbur and techno stopped our amusement immediately as we saw the group of zombies starting to surround our car, probably heard our laughter from miles away with their hearing and sense of smell.

Phil quickly hit the gas, the car jerking forward as we raced out onto a large road, narrowly missing a street light. It was all silent as we drove down the road, before we erupted in laughter again, happy to have escaped that mess.

After we calmed down, I decided to ask the question i had been thinking of since i met these guys "so um.. how do i know you guys exactly? Were we coworkers or something? Friends?" I asked curiously, looking between the 3 faces, suddenly looking nervous. They seemed to all silently communicate with eachother and philza nodded before clearing his throat. His next words shook my whole world around "i am... your dad. And these two are your older brothers..."

I sat wide eyed at them, not sure how to respond, or even what to do but sot and stare at the three strangers- or, i guess family now?

"Oh... pogchamp" i said blankly, before smacking myself. "Sorry uh, that was dumb. Uh i mean. Cool. Awesome. Uhh... broski? And dadza???" I rambled, not sure how to properly take this information in. It was silent for a few moments before my family just started laughing. "T-tom.. tom, you don't have to worry. You're still as silly as ever. You don't have to warm up yet, don't force yourself into remembering either. It's okay kid" wilbur said, patting my head like one would do to a silly child. I pouted and shoved his hand off my head "I'm not a kid. I'm a big man! Big man innit!" I grumbled, hugging bean close to my face. Bean just clawed my already torn cheek, burrowing into my chest and under my chin. "At least bean respects me" i said with a huff. "She doesn't call me a child"

"That's because she can't speak. She's a raccoon. And she literally just slapped you, she sees you more as a pillow than anything, nerd" techno grinned as he snorted in amusement. "Ha ha, very funny... not!" We continued to bicker, as philza occasionally butted in to stop a fight, and continued to drive.

~Somewhere in a junk yard, far far away... but not too far, that's too long a walk~

"Dreeeeaam... can't we stop now? It's already been ages. I really don't think we're gonna find him. He's long gone by now" a man in goggles and a blue shirt said, to his friend Dream, wearing a dirty green hoodie and ripped jeans. "George, we've gotta. He's the only one who passed the test and came back. He's the only clue we've got to fixing this damn world. We can't give up now" dream said as he walked towards a fence in the back of the junk yard. "But dude, we've already searched around here" a man in a white shirt and a white bandanna said with a tired look on his face. He was definitely tired of this and just wanted to stop this useless search party.

"You can always double check and there will be nothing new. But sometimes, it's worth it. Lookie here boys~ i think we found him" dream said, picking up a piece of fabric, white and red, just like their suspect's iconic shirt. "George, sapnap... get the dogs. It's time we go hunting~" dream said in a sing song voice, twirling around with a dark grin as he laughed maniacally.

"That's it. It's official. Dream is now insane and hunting down a innocent child. Great... just great. There goes my comfortable life of sleeping..." George yawned. Sapnap just nodded with a sigh.

To be continued.

(Sorry it's a little short but i thought this would be perfect cliffhanger till i can muster up the idea train to start the next chapter! Don't worry, I've got a plan, just gotta get my adhd in order and focus ;-;)
