A Husk is shambling outside the cabin and is huffing. Its vocal chords were too decayed that it can't produce any moan from its lipless mouth. Out of a sudden, a bullet struck its head, killing it instantly. Nyx was the one who shot it.
Ezra and Nyx arrived at the cabin. They both entered, and Nyx looks around.
"It's a bit small. Sorry." Ezra said, a bit shy.
"Neat..." Nyx commented. "Are you from here?"
"Yup." He replied. "How about you?"
Nyx simply shook her head, and said. "Nah. I'm from St. George."
"How did you end up here?" Ezra asked.
"No reasons, really." Nyx replied. However, Ezra could tell that there's really a reason, but Nyx is just hiding what it is. He wants to know, out of curiosity, but he needs to respect if she's not comfortable to talk about it.
"So, you're givin' names to the Necro, right?" Nyx asked.
"Well, yeah..." Ezra replied.
"Have you encountered a lot of variants?"
"Well, yep. But, I think they're not the only variants of Necro." Ezra responded.
Nyx nodded. "What are the variants you've encountered and named?"
Ezra can't believe that this woman is interested in his geekiness. "Uhh, w-well, there are the Snare, Brundle, Brawn-"
His words got interrupted by a sound of helicopter passing by above the cabin where they were in. The of them went out to check it out, and saw that it is indeed a helicopter with armed men onboard.
"They're rescue! HEY!! DOWN HERE!!" Ezra screamed.
They both chased the helicopter who either can't hear them or were just ignoring them. Ezra kept on screaming, while Nyx follows silently.
"HEY!! WE'RE STILL HUMANS!!" He kept on screaming, not caring if there's any Necro around. However, the helicopter kept on moving away, until it gets even further, that the sound of its spinning propeller slowly fades from the distance.
Ezra tries to chased it, but stopped from exhaustion in the middle of the street. He catches his breath as Nyx arrived behind him.
"They don't care about us." Nyx spoke up.
"Dang it..." Ezra curses under his breath.
Out of a sudden, they both heard a loud honking. Nyx quickly pulled Ezra out of the road as a running RV passed by. The driver inside it got shocked, causing them to stop the vehicle, just few feet away from Ezra and Nyx. The driver peeked out the window of the RV and looked at them. It was a young man, not older than the two.
"Uhh, are you two alright there?" He asked.
"Another survivor..." Ezra mutters.
Another young man peeked out and yelled at them. "YOU NEED TO RUN!!"
"Huh?" Ezra got confused. His answer however got answered when he heard a screeching behind them.
He and Nyx looked at it and saw a Necro with a very long prehensile tongue covered in sharps swirling around from its maw.
"A-A Snare...." Ezra mutters.
NECRO VARIANTS
SNARE
PLURAL: SNARES
ALIAS: TONGUE-THING
RARITY: RARE
DESCRIPTION: Snares are Necro variants that has a long prehensile tongue covered with sharp spikes made out of keratin. As its name suggest, a Snare used its tongue to grab and wrap any victims around its spiked tongue. Once ensnared, those spikes having the Necrosites' eggs will bury themselves within the victim's flesh. Once successfully implanting the Necrosite's offsprings, it'll let the victim go, leaving the offsprings to do their courses.
