Blood Not Flesh

Nikki

I remember everything, I lived in Canada since Jay and I were 4 Jay and I are twins Our mother is Canadian and our Father is Korean, and they got a divorce when Jay and I were 4 so our Father took us to Korea with him and when we were 6 he got back together with his Ex wife who he already had a kid with which is my brother Zico, he was 10 when our parents got re-married and he didn't like Jay to much because he never wanted a brother but he always walked a little sister, so Zico and I got along quiet well and became really close, but it took a couple years till Zico and Jay had a little and big brother relationship, I don't think that happened until Jay turned 14 and Zico was 18 and matured and finally started to treat him like a brother.

I never had any boyfriends growing up because Jay or Zico always protected me so guys were scared to come near me, but every guy that was scared of my brother I didn't like them cause it showed that they were weak and I didn't want a weak guy in my life. But once I turned 16 it was really hard for Zico and Jay to keep guys away from me which I found funny, it was like a game to me. But when I later on got a boyfriend I found out after overhearing a conversation with him and his friends that he was only dating me for money because our families were rich. I cried for a while cause i was my first boyfriend we dated for a year so it really hurt that it was this huge lie the entire time and when Zico and Jay found out I felt terrible cause it landed the guy in the hospital from being beaten badly.

When i turned 16 Zico and I went out for dinner to a fancy restauraunt which I thought was nice. I had never been to one, because my ex was cheap and father never took us out to places like this. He dressed fancy and had his hair done nicely and I did the same, I thought if i was going out somewhere fancy I might as well have dressed the part right?

After Dinner I went out with Jay after he told me to get changed and I dressed in the dress I bought myself and walked out with Jay and he brought me to one of his friends house parties which I was uneasy about because there was drinking everywhere and it made me uneasy since Jay and I still weren't legal he didn't want to go to dinner with Zico and I but instead he wanted to drag me to a party. I watched as Jay drank and I remember it angered me but I didn't say or do anything about it. i just partied with him but refused any drinks.

I remember that was the first time Jay and Zico got into a huge fight, Jay got caught at the party drinking as a minor by the police who busted the party we were both arrested, and I was confused because I didn't do anything wrong, i didn't drink I was just there. So when we were given out phone call I called Zico explaining everything and explaining how confused I was he got down there and I quickly ran hugging him cause with how pissed he sounded on the phone I didn't think he would come, the cop aloud me to go since it was proven through a test that I didn't dink and I walked out as Jay and Zico followed behind after paying off Jay's charges. Zico dropped off Jay at out grandparents but Jay didn't argue it he just went in.

It was a thing that if he did something that could be bad for the family name we had to stay at our grandparents which was the worst because you got beats, or chores that could last for years. But Jay being the favorite always got let out easily so to him it wasn't much of a punishment

The day everything happened? That was the worst day of my life, so bad I just wanted to die on the spot. We were running and a huge group separated Jay and I from Zico and that was the last time I saw him. I thought he was gone, but I continued to run because if one of those things got him I didn't want to see him become one. My brother was only 23 and now he was gone, the only thing I could do is pray that he would survive and find us.

For months we transferred from group to group because we always somehow got into weak groups our camp would be destroyed by the dead or taken over by the living, I remember one group I was in was all guys but me and one other girl, and when the living came it was a group of guys about 10 and when they caught mine and the other girls eye they smiled like a bunch of perverts and asked for a trade, all their food and supplies for the two of us, but they denied that offer and Jay walked back and grabbed my wrist looking at the guys and being extreamly protective just like Zico used to.

That same night Jay and I were on watch and we woke up the group cause we saw members of the other group but none of them listened to us so I quickly woke up Kait but she wouldn't leave her group causing Jay and I just to run off on our own to get away from the group who was closing in on us, as we ran we heard screams from Kait as if she was being dragged off and gun shots from others, that could have been me with Kait being dragged off and Jay possibly shot. Jay grabbed my arm and dragged me off with him causing me to click back into reality and try not to worry about the others.

Jay and I stayed in a little town just the two of us the odd time groups of the living would show which caused us to always hide in the attic of the house we stayed in for the rest f the day until the place went silent. for two months it was the same drill run out in the morning collect supplies, food, medication water from other houses and stores than run back to the house store it before night falls because than the dead ran this town not us.

We walked around town once and went into the forest and after walking about 5 minutes we walked seeing a little cabin Jay walked inside and it was stocked with Medication and drink and food everything that we tried to look for in the town. we took two bags filled of medication and food and two water bottles each than ran back to town and we new something was wrong because the dead took over the town but it was earlier than usual he sun was still slightly out.

We slept in the woods and Jay stayed on watch and I woke up to branches breaking and Jay stood up with a knife out and I stayed behind the tree and he lowered his knife and just stood there. I turned my head and saw a boy there and I quickly stood up he introduced himself as Hyunseung. After we introduced ourselves he asked if we were twins which confused me, and he smiled and told us we had to follow him and he asked us a bunch of questions as we followed him.

He brought was to a church and Jay let out a small laugh. Hyunseung brought as to the door and opened it and everyone was sitting their talking their were only 5 other girls and 11 guys including Jay and I made 12 and 6 "Nikki and Jay have been found" Hyunseung said scaring me a bit what did they mean by found, but one head snapped around causing me to drop to my knees and Jay in shock "Oppa!" "Hyung!" We called out and I quickly got off my knees and ran to Zico crying I was so happy I finally found my older brother I felt Jay join in on the hug I thought he was dead, I didn't think I was going to ever see him again.

Zico showed me the photos he gave everyone to try and elp looked for us, the one of us on my 16th birthday and one of him and Jay from his 16th birthday.

We all caught up with each other and I showed Tao the Katana I used and he help train me on how to use it properly which I liked. and out of everyone who did I become close to? Hyunseung because I was happy that he found us, and Happy that he was the reason we found my older brother.
