Vast Sea of the Undead

CHAPTER V: Crushing Stakes

(A/N)- Hi so Frog doesn't play dangerous fellows and I forgot what the name of the time when they go out for food so we just called it food watch🙂 -Bunny

Anne had woken up to the sound of yelling in the main classroom, AKA: Ethan challenging Rae to another uno tournament. Anne rushed downstairs without her coat even though it was freezing cold there due to the lack of heating. “Hey can you guys quiet down?! I’m still tired from yesterday and people are trying to sleep!” Anne swings open the door. “Actually, Annette. Morning Meeting is about to start.” Lawrence looks at the girl. Anne yawns and sits in a nearby chair, “whatever, go on.” Lawrence starts to talk about random stuff like morning partols, who’s going out for food, and night watch. “I can go for food today.” Anne raises her hand.

Lawrence chuckles, “Are you sure you want to go out there with… a spaghetti strap tank-top and shorts?” “Ah-” Anne looks down at her clothes, “Nevermind i’ll just do night watch again.” “Alright then, for morning patrol. Harry can go with Joel, Judy with Elizabeth, and I will be going with Ethan.” Lawrence says, smiling weirdly. Anne squints her eyes at Lawrence and realizes, ‘Isn’t Lawrence Yandere?’. “For food, I, Zion, Ethan, Rae, and our Ethan will go out.” Lawrence continues.

“LOL, Ethan has to do both Morning patrol and food lookout cuz he was slacking off yesterday.” Rae giggles. “Shut it Rae, you have to do food lookout too.” Ethan sticks his tongue out at Rae. “After we come back from food lookout, the afternoon meeting will start and I will assign the Night watch duo’s” Lawrence looks at Anne, “You seem close to Eugene. I’ll take it you want to do night watch with him again, don’t you?” Anne blushes as red as a tomato, “I-I mean i-if Eugene is o-ok with it, I can b-but-” “Alright that’s one Night watch group done, I'll assign the rest later.” 

Eugene walks up to Anne while the rest go do their own stuff, “You think Lawrence is trying to do something?” Anne looks up at Eugene, still really red but not as much. Anne nods at Eugene before Eugene blurts out a weird question, “You think he thinks that we like each other even though we just met?”, Anne blushes even more red, “I-I mean, you did kinda hold 

my hand a lot but like, maybe?!” 

-With Rae, Priscilla, Shea, and Ethan-

“NAH, DAWG PUT ANNE WITH EUGENE AGAIN.” Rae says. “Lawrence knows something, I just feel it.” Priscilla says. “Same, he’s acting weirder every time we see him.” Shea comments. Rae continues to yell out her Uno cards at Ethan, Ethan yelling back, Priscilla talking to Shea, Eugene talking to Anne, Noah was somewhat helping Rae beat Ethan, though she didn’t need much help, Zion and Harry were watching the Uno game while Lawrence walks out the classroom with a smile plastered on his face. “Everyone doing Morning Patrol, follow me.”

Ethan sadly gets up from his seat to follow Lawrence with Judy, Harry, Joel, and Elizabeth.

Lawrence’s POV:

The others were following me into the supplies room while Ethan was dragging a bit behind. It’s fine, as long as he’s with me he’ll be fine. “Everyone grab a weapon and we’ll go to our assigned spots.” I say, looking at Ethan while he grabs a pipe from the floor. Everything he does is perfect, I don’t care what his ‘friends’ say. He is perfect for me. I pick up a large piece of wood and I look up. “Harry and Joel, courtyard, Judy and Elizabeth, cafeteria, me and Ethan will go to the top floor.” I glance back at Ethan who’s whispering to Joel. “Alright let’s go!” I say and I grab Ethan by the hand, rushing out the room to the top floor. 

-Timeskip to the top floor.-

I tell Ethan to search one half of the floor while I search the other half. Walking into a room, I look at the picture of Ethan on the wall, ripping them off, and hiding them in a box. We wouldn’t want him to see these yet. I continue to empty the rest of the rooms while grabbing a blanket for Ethan. Walking out I see Ethan in the hall. “Ethan.” I call to him. “Hm? What?” He looks at me. “I found this blanket, I thought you might need it.” I say, handing him the blanket.
