Flashback...

9 years ago, One month since the Zombie Apocalypse happened.

" Wait! No! " Dylan blocked the shot aimed at me, which I pull him to dodge ut.

"Get out of there!" the soldiers shouted, aiming at me.

"I won't allow it! AJENA'S FINE! SHE'S JUST UNLUCKY! But look at her! She hasn't turned into a zombie yet!" Dylan argued.

"Stay back, Dylan!" Dykon warned.

Dylan hugged me.

"Dylan!"

"Aj-jena... Don't listen to whatever they say. You're still normal to me," Dylan said, touching my cheek.

I didn't want to show them that I was hurt or scared, so I forced a smile. Dylan picked up my shirt that he had put on me since I was only wearing a tank top.

" You have to kill me first before Ajena," Dylan said seriously, burying me in his chest while holding me, my head leaning against it, looking at those soldiers on the rooftop.

"Dylan... let's get off the top of the bus, Now! " I said, pulling him away.

" Why?" he replied.

I took out my katana

" Duck!" I shouted, startling my companion as a mutant zombie on another top of the car stretch it's tounge almost hitting us.

"Ajena!!!" Dylan yelled.

I quickly cut off its tongue and jump off. The mutant zombie followed, so I dodged and swiftly decapitated it with my katana!

I rolled on the street to divert the attention of other zombies while the one I decapitated fell.

"Ajena!! Come back!!!" Dylan shouted.

I stood, staring at the slow-moving zombies. Time seemed to slow down. Dylan wanted to get off the bus, but his older brother held him back, yelling along with the little kid, Jerry.

As I stared at the zombies, I suddenly saw a image of Haerol, bleeding and kneeling, smiling tearfully as he bid farewell.

I felt intense rage, overwhelming rage.

"Haerol "

" AJENA!!!" Dylan screamed.

I will avenge you, Haerol!

"I'll finish all of you!"

I was furious!! I acted swiftly, decapitating each of these monsters! Bring back Haerol!  Bring back my beloved! He didn't deserve such a death! I didn't even get to kiss him one last time!

"Enough, Ajena! They're all dead! Ajena! Calm down! "

I snapped out of it when Dylan shouted, and found myself entering a building trying to follow the zombie that seemed to be afraid , I touched my head, shaking it. Damn! I lost myself...

I took a deep breath, turning away, and was shocked to see many dead zombies without heads... Did I do that? gosh...

"Ajena!" I heard Dylan, pointing behind me. I turned and stepped back.

0_0 What the hell!! What is that?!! A baby zombie! With a long tongue and a bite mark on its belly... I sat down in shock as it crawled towards me swiftly.

Damn! It's bloody and terrifying!

"Ajena! Run!"

Sh*t, I can't move with this weird thing... I'm seeing it for the first time now

All the zombies had white eyes, and so did the baby, estimated to be only one or two years old, Its black body was pulsating...

Its tongue hung down, terrifying! I couldn't help but hold my breath! Its claws were long too.
