One Month ago...

It's been a week since I woke up as an 8-year-old, and Roseann keeps clinging to me! Ugh! She's just a kid but acts like she owns me! Well, I know I'm a cute little boy and very charming, but can't she wait until we grow up?

Finally, I can breathe. I'm hiding behind the warehouse, using the kitchen back door so Roseann can't find me. As I look around, the small walls catch my eye. They're about 7 feet tall with electrified wires on top. About 5 feet away, there's a boundary line to keep everyone away from the walls. I lay down in the grass when I hear a noise. Is that digging? I hide in a big rock and saw Peter?! He come out under the walls and have a cage with a Dog?! Isn't that a Zombie dog?! What the hell is Peter thinking?!

It's a puppy but it's still a zombie! Zombie dogs is much more dangerous than human zombies. Then suddenly the zombie puppy got out of the Cage

" F*ck! No! " Peter ran towards my direction. I can't let that zombie puppy attacked the survivors. I stand up and took a rock in my side and ran straight to the Zombie Puppy!

"No, Az! Get away! You can't take it down!" Peter shouts. The zombie puppy jumps at me, but I dodge and kick its belly. It hits the wall, and I dash over, jumping to build up momentum, then smash its head with the rock, blood splatters on me.Just as I'm about to strike again Peter pulls me away and swiftly kills the puppy with a knife. I drop the rock, breathing heavily, and stare at my bloody hands. I really need to train more.

"What the heck, Azriel?! Why did you do that? What if it had bitten you? It's not a real puppy, so don't just run towards it like that!" Peter shouts, gripping my shoulder. I wince in pain

He's so angry

" U-uncle, It's h-hurt " I said and he let me go shock in what he did

" I-Im sorry Azriel, Please don't do that again. " Peter hugged me , He's crying?

I should be the one crying idiot!

" B-But what is that Uncle? You told me before that You'll bring a puppy for me  " I said acting innocent , Yes he said that before.

" Well, Uhh how should i say this? " He said wiping his tears

And I tilted my head looking curious

" Hmm? Uncle Peter? " I asked

"Before that, I need to take care of this," Peter says, burying the puppy where he found it. Then he carries me to a small fountain and cleans me off, taking off my shirt and his. After washing my clothes and hanging them to dry, he uses his shirt to wipe me down.

"So, Uncle Peter, what was that? It looked like the dogs in the comics you gave me," I ask, knowing I have to press him on why he brought a zombie inside our base.

"Yeah, it was," he admits, sitting down beside me. A cool breeze blows by. "It's a zombie. I'm sorry you have to learn this at such a young age. It's my fault." He said scratching his head

" I'm planning to control it that maybe I can tame it "

I roll my eyes.

FLASHBACK END...

"That's what happened," I finish telling them about Peter bringing in a zombie puppy, lying that it attacked me, and then being forced to explain about zombies. Of course, I don't mention that I hit it first with a rock.

"So Peter gives you comics too?" Ariela asks angrily. Ariela looks scary when she's mad.

"But I never see you reading comics, Az," Geo adds.

"Hehe, actually, Uncle Peter and I read them up on the walls. Please don't punish Uncle Peter, Mom, Dad," I say, giving them puppy eyes.

"He even took you up on the walls?" King questions. Oh-oh, better hide, Peter.
