Home Sweet Zombie Part Two

Season One Episode Five Part Two

Walking around downstairs and finding no sign of him and figuring Murphy wasn't stupid enough to go outside she made her way upstairs. Searching the bedrooms and not finding anything she finally found him in the bathroom and she was shocked by what she found. Murphy had shaved his beard and he was now bold.

"New look Murphy?" She asked him making him jump and spin to look at her while grabbing his jumper to cover his chest.

"Do you mind?!" He snapped at her making her roll her eyes

"Oh relax it's not like I haven't seen the bites before although don't remember them being that colour, but then that could be the vaccine running through your blood." Ellie said making Murphy hastily pull the jumper over his head to cover the bites. "But whatever, and BTW is you didn't want someone to walk in on you, maybe use the door next time" She said knocking on the door emphasizing her point making him roll his eyes. "Whats with the look?" She asked him again

"Fancied a change" He said shrugging

"Just fancied a change, that's it? You sure there's nothing else wrong because that is a drastic change"

"Everything is peachy, nothings wrong everything is fine and dandy. Can you go away now"

"Ok then Mr defensive, wanna try that again?" Ellie challenged

"You know you are not the boss of me" Murphy grumbled walking over to her "And I'm not gonna let someone half my age tell me what to do, so why don't you run along now and mind your own business before I make you" he said towering over her trying to be threatening but she wasn't backing down.

"I know what your trying to do Murphy and it's not gonna work, I'm not afraid of you and you threatening me is not gonna make me run away and forget about it" she said a fiery look in her eyes. "Because if that vaccine is doing something to you then we need to know because as of right now I'd say you look more z then human"

"You can't tell Warren" Murphy panicked a pleading look in his eyes

"I wont" Ellie promised "And only because they'll figure it out and I know you may look like one but your definitely still human. But if you become a threat i wont hesitate to end you, even if you are the savior if the human race. So back off" Ellie said pushing against his chest making him stumble back "because all I was trying to do was see if you were ok and you get threatening".

Murphy looked down guilty shuffling on his feet and she swore she heard him mumble an apology but she wasn't sure.

"Now if your done threatening someone half your age why don't we go back downstairs and into the basement where it's safe, before the roof flies of this building" She said referring to the storm which they could still hear the wind howling outside and occasional bangs where something had knocked against the building. And when he nodded she stepped away from the door to allow him to go first and he stepped forward and left the bathroom before walking down the stairs with Ellie close behind.

Once they reached the basement stairs and started to descend them they could hear Mack and Doc talking and when they reached the bottom they heard Mack shouting.

"Ellie, Murphy get in here" Murphy walked through the entrance but froze making Ellie bump into him

"Ow Murphy what the hell?" She said rubbing her nose but she was ignored

"Murphy!?" She heard Mack exclaim "What the hell man?"

"Murphy!" Doc shouted but Murphy still didn't move "The worlds coming apart around us, man. And you decide it's time for a haircut?"
