(Ludwig POV)

As I headed out the door with Gilbert. I notice that there were corpses walking around and as soon as I shut the door some of them turned there heads and started making their way towards us. "Gilbert, run." I said to my brother. He looked as me as I ran towards the back of the house. He followed me, We got the street and turned left. Roderich House which thankfully was only about an hour from my house on foot but with this corpses around it might take longer. I noticed there were others out here trying to go somewhere where there weren't any of those things around. We saw a group shoot at some but they didn't go down. They shot the in the lungs, heart, and stomach, but not the head. I saw one of those corpses go after a little girl and I raised my gun, aimed for the head and fired. The corpse went down and stayed down. It took us 85 minutes to get on the same block as Roderich's house. Gilbert and I were almost at Roderich's when we saw Elizabeth running out of the house with a backpack and her signature. We waved her down and she was in a stat of shock and horror. "Elizabeth, vhat happened? vhere is Roderich?" I asked as Gilbert grabbed what she had to try to help her but she pushed him away. "One of those things came in the house and bit Roderich...... He turned into one of those things." she said crying. Gilbert couldn't stand seeing Elizabeth cry, so he hugged her. She surprisingly let Gilbert hug her even though she pushed him a few seconds ago. Suddenly we saw Roderich stumble out of the house. "Roderich?" Gilbert said still holding Elizabeth. I could already tell that Roderich was one of those corpses. He's skin was pale, blood stains on his neck, messed up hair, and broken glasses. Roderich wouldn't even be this unprofessional. So I raised my gun and aimed for his head. "Elizabeth, don't look." I told her. "Don't Vest! This is Roderich! He'd never hurt us." Gilbert said. "Does ZHAT look like Roderich to jou?" I asked. "He's still our cousin. Don't do it!" Gilbert continued to argue. "And vat if we let him get close and he bites jou or Elizabeth? Huhn! Use jour head bruder, he can't be saved!" I yelled. While he and I were arguing, Roderich was getting closer and closer. I could hear him snarling and groaning. "VE DONT HAVE TIME FOR ZIS!" I yelled. I raised my gun again and aimed for his head. "STOP LUDWIG! DONT DO ZIS! Maybe if ve take him vith us, someone vill find the cure soon and he'll be fine." Gilbert said. "But....He died..." "Maybe he didn't, maybe he's mind is just clouded." Gil said. "GIL! HIS HEART STOPPED!!" Elizabeth shouted. Gil and I turned to look at her. "H-He died in my arms." Elizabeth said, tears streaming down her face. "He got bit and shortly after he temperature started to rise. I cleaned his wound the best I could and tried everything to brake his fever but he bled so much I couldn't stop it completely. He bled out in my arms." Gil went over to Elizabeth but as he did Roderich lounged at Gil. Gil was trying to get him off but Roderich was stronger then he normally was. Both Elizabeth and I tried to help but to no avail so I rised my gun and aimed its sights on Roderich. "I'm so sorry Roderich." I said as a pulled the trigger. Roderich dropped like a bag of bricks.

We started heading back when more of those corpses started showing up. Shit. We were yelling. We run to the back ally, since it was the only way out now. I wanted to punch Gilbert in the face. We've already wasted so much time. We were able to get away after about 10 minutes of just running and finally hiding. "Ve have about an hour to get home, (y/n) should be already be in the basement." Gilbert said. "Vell at least ve have zomeone keeping track of time." I said. "It vill take an hour and a half to get home now." Gilbert said. Elizabeth was looking like she was up to something. "If you want to get home in an hour and 20. I think I knew a road that will bring us there." Elizabeth said. "Perfect. Vhat road do ve take?" I replied. "It's Ruhig Bleiben Ave." she replied. We followed her to the street and turned right. We were able to get home in exsactly an hour an 20 but there were a few corpses around. I got out my knife and told Gilbert to grab one of his knifes and give it to Elizabeth. He did it without complaints shockingly. "Vhy are you telling us to grab our knifes? Vhy can't you just zhoot them?" Gilbert asked confussed. "Zose zings are attracted to zound. Zo zis time ve vill be quit." I said. We each walked over to one of the corpses and stabed it in the head. We then when in the house where (y/n) was still there waiting. She run up and hugged us as we shut the door. I was glad that she was ok. Someone could have came in and killed her or taken her captive. Who knows what people will do now. I looked around and saw that there was broken glass on the floor. "Vhat happened here?" I asked conserned. I then noticed the blackened blood on her shirt. "A corpse came in and came after me, but I stabbed it in the head with one of the kitchen knifes." She replied. I sighed in relieve that she was ok. I don't know what I would've done if she was killed.
