An Era Of Zombies

Part 3: Carved of Marble

That was almost a year ago and Asia had been wandering around taking supplies from Gas stations and markets, sleeping in abandoned houses ever since then. How had Fey been so stupid? She shouldn't have tried to fight it on her own. And now she was laying dead somewhere in the forest, Asia thought. It brought fresh tears back to her eyes. She broke down then. But then she heard a rustle in the bushes. It was the same noise that had caused Asia to cut herself. She wiped away her tears and made a run for it. She didn't get very far because she was brought down 10 seconds later.

Asia groaned and stared into the zombie's eyes. It was a she. She had dark black hair, caramel skin, and her red eyes shined. Asia stupidly jabbed the stick as hard as she could into her - no, not her, it's eye. It brought a hand to it's eye which was already spouting red-green blood. Asia saw her chance and elbowed it hard in the throat. She rolled out of it's arms and bolted straight up. She knew she didn't have a chance of outrunning it but oh well. Asia finally stopped running after about 10 seconds so that she could face the zombie. It's eye was gruesome.

"I'm going to spill your throat on the ground. Lucien wants you alive but I'll just say that I had to defend myself when you attacked me."

Who was Lucien? How did she know who I am? I can't believe my life is ending. I haven't even had my first kiss. No- stop it Asia, you're going to survive this. Somehow.

"Any last words Asia?" the zombie asked as it flipped out it's knife.

A spot of red in the silver metal. A flash of red in the brown and green forest at night hidden in the green.

"Yea. You're even more stupid than I am," and then Asia ducked to the ground and the arrow speared the zombie girl straight through the chest.

Asia stood back up and dusted off her dirty black tee and jeans.

"Thanks for the shot. You could have shot it before it attacked me on the ground but whatever," Asia said to the stranger.

She had spotted his shirt in the knifes reflection. A flash of red in the blur of green. The stranger had dark brown tousled hair, pale skin,and emerald green eyes. Asia was grinning but he was staring at her with a very grim expression. She looked down at her arm and saw the scratch marks. She looked back at him and then he pointed what looked like a tranquilizer gun and shot her in the leg. She dropped to the ground immediately. Her eyes lingered on him. The boy who looked as if he were carved of marble with his pale white skin and hard muscles.
