Surviving an Apocalypse

Chapter 13: Nightmare Torture

"Wha? What's going on?" Maggi asked. She looked around to find herself at a school lunch table in the middle of the cafeteria. "Bunni you woke up." Danielle said sitting down next to her. "Danielle? Wha, what's going on?" Maggi asked. "What do you mean?" Gabby asked walking over.

"We....we have to get outta here! The zombies, they'll get us!" Maggi yelled. "Mags calm down!" Danielle said. "Yeah, there's no zombies here." Gabby said. "Then it was all a dream?" Maggi asked. "I guess so. You've been asleep almost the whole lunch period." Danielle replied. "Oh, that's....that's great!" Maggi yelled.

"You must have had some dream." Megan said walking over. "Yeah. A zombie apocalypse started and all of us were there trying to survive." Maggi said. "Is that so?" Megan asked. "Yeah, it was pretty freaky." Maggi answered.

"What did the zombies look like?" Gabby asked. "You don't wanna know. You hate zombies Gabs." Maggi replied. "Well tell us anyway." Danielle said. "Guys, are you OK? Your kinda freaking me out." Maggi said. "Yeah were fine. Are you OK?" Megan asked. "Yeah, I must be still a little asleep." Maggi answered.

"I know she's OK. OK to eat!" Gabby said. "What?" Maggi asked. Her eyes started to widen as Danielle, Megan, and Gabby turned into flesh eating zombies. "Now you be a good Bunni and stand still." Danielle said approaching her. Gabby and Megan approached her as well. "No this cant be happening! NOOOO!!!!" Maggi screamed.

She opened her eyes, her tears ran down her face as she looked around for answers. "What's going on?" Maggi asked. "Your torture." A voice answered. "Who are you?" Maggi asked. "You'll see soon. Now watch as your friends exit there nightmares." The voice said. Maggi turned to see her friends tied up next to her unconscious in a sleep state. Maggi tried desperately to wake them.

"Gabs, wake up! Danielle! Giant? Miranda? Guys please! Wake up!" Maggi yelled. "They wont wake until there nightmare's are over." The voice said. "Nightmares? Why are you doing this?" Maggi asked. "I don't have to explain myself." The voice replied.

"STOP!!!" Miranda yelled. "Miranda!" Maggi yelled. "Huh?" Miranda asked. "It's OK, it was just a nightmare. I think the zombie lord is torturing us." Maggi said. "But why?" Miranda asked. "I don't know." Maggi answered. "Are the others awake?" Miranda asked. "VICTORIA I'M SORRY!" Ryan cried out.

"Ryan's awake now." Maggi replied. "What's happening?" Ryan asked. "The zombie lord is torturing us through nightmares." Maggi replied. "I'm here too." Miranda said. "Why is the zombie lord doing this?" Ryan asked.

"What the heck!!" Micheal shouted. "Hey your awake." Miranda said."Nope! No zombies are getting in my face!" Megan yelled. "Megan!" Ryan yelled happily. "ZOMBIES!!!!!" Gabby screamed. "Gabs calm down, it was a nightmare." Maggi said. "A nightmare?" Gabby asked. "There were zombies everywhere!" Megan said. "Yeah I was getting swarmed by them." Micheal said. "It was all a nightmare." Ryan said. "Really? It seemed so real." Gabby replied.

"Bye girls bye!" Danielle yelled. "Danielle you OK?" Miranda asked. "Yeah there were these girls talking to me, then they turned into zombies and came after me. But it's OK now. I shunned them." Danielle replied.

"POKEMON LIVES!!!!" Alex yelled. "Alex, really?" Micheal asked. "They tried to take Pokemon away from me but i showed them!" Alex replied. "Were all awake now. What happens now?" Danielle asked. "You will get the truth." The zombie lord replied.

"Show yourself you big chicken!" Alex yelled. "Lets not provoke the big evil zombie guy. I kinda wanna keep my head." Micheal said. "You wont have heads when I'm done with all of you." The zombie lord said.

"Who are you?" Ryan asked. "You don't know me but the others do." The zombie lord replied. The zombie lord stepped into the light to reveal half of a zombie and half of a human.

"Devon is that you?" Megan asked. "He is a part of me. I can hear his thoughts and see his memories. He has no control over this body, only I do." The zombie lord replied.

"Poor Devon..." Alex said. "Devon you have to stop the zombies from taking over!" Ryan yelled. "He can hear you but he cant help you. He's nothing but a weakling, just like the rest of you." The zombie lord said.

"It's over. We lost." Gabby said. "Gabby don't give up." Miranda replied. "There's no way we can win. Were all going do die here." Gabby said. "No were not! Were gonna be fine." Danielle said. "Have you looked around you? Zombies are everywhere, we fell into a trap, and the zombie lord himself is standing right in front of us! We cant win Danielle!" Gabby yelled.

"We can a least hope for a rescue." Danielle replied. "No one is coming." Gabby said. "Enough talking! Your giving me a headache!" The zombie lord yelled.

"What's going to happen to us?" Maggi asked. "You could be eaten, but I think you would all be better served as zombies. Maybe first I'll make you track down your friends for me. Little Kitty is going to make a very nice snack for my dogs." The zombie lord replied.

"Dont you touch her or the others!" Maggi yelled. "I'm so scared! What are you going to do? Kill me? You couldnt even save yourself from getting kidnapped." The zombie lord said.

"Leave Bunni alone!" Megan yelled. "Megan calm down. I don't wanna see you get hurt." Ryan said. "None of you scare me." The zombie lord replied.

 A zombie walks up behind the zombie lord and bows. "My lord." The zombie said. "What is it?" The zombie lord asked. "Uh, they are ready." The zombie replied frightened. "Bring them here you worthless bag of bones!" The zombie lord ordered. "Yea....yes master." The frightened zombie replied walking away.

"Why did you treat that zombie that way?" Gabby asked. "What do you mean?" The zombie lord asked."Gabby shush!" Miranda said. "You called it worthless and scared it half to death." Gabby replied. "All they are are zombies. Just undead dummies." The zombie lord said.

"But you made it so they could talk." Gabby said. "Yes but..." The zombie lord stopped. "You see? There just like you, except your a lord and there your followers." Gabby said. "Shut up! I don't have to listen to you! They follow me, I can treat them however I want!" The zombie lord yelled.

The zombie came back with a big bird cage with a red blanket over it. "My lord, as you ordered here they are." The frightened zombie said. "Well bring them closer you idiot!" The zombie lord yelled.

"But my lord they are dangerous. You might get hurt if I bring them closer." The frightened zombie replied. "Are you questioning me? You don't have the right to tell me anything! You only obey!" The zombie lord yelled angrily.

"My lord, please forgive me!" The frightened zombie begged. "No, you don't get mercy! Zombie hounds!" The zombie lord called. The three black dogs gathered at his side. "No please!" The frightened zombie begged. "Hounds don't leave any trace of him behind." The zombie lord said.

"Leave the poor zombie alone!" Gabby yelled. "I never thought I'd hear you say that!" Megan said.

The black hounds quickly charged the zombie and tore him limb from limb, leaving not even bones behind. The group looked away from the horrible sight.

"Let that be a lesson to all of you! Never question your master." The zombie lord said. "Here my lord." A zombie said bringing the cage closer to him.

"I have a special gift for you." The zombie lord said getting a grip on the blanket covering the cage. "Oh yeah? What would that be?" Ryan asked.

The zombie lord smiled and uncovered the cage. "NO!" Ryan yelled. The others were shocked at what they saw in the cage as well.
