Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter Sixteen

"What do we do?!" Ash whispered. He grabbed Kristina's forearm.
Kristina kept a calm face. Ash's nails punctured Kristina's skin. Kristina always knew Ash was always scared when people questioned him. By himself he was fine, but when someone else was questioned with him he panicked. He was only good at lying if he was questioned alone.
"The truth." Kristina responded.
"You always say that and you never-" Ash started to complain.
Everyone entered the room. Ash tensed besides Kristina. Kristina sat straight up and began to examine her nails.
"Twy karpio ish de fa. We comen tuio pe te." Kristina mumbled to Ash.
Ash nodded and straightened up.
"Where were you in the middle of the night?" Gaby asked.
"Talking in this very room." Kristina responded.
"Why were you here Ash?" Elizabeth asked.
"To get out of my room." Ash replied.
Elizabeth made a face that said 'no duh' without words.
"What did you talk about?" Xander asked.
"Something that doesn't involve you." Kristina replied with sass.
"Yes, but can you tell us one thing you said?" Katia asked.
"Well when we say each other I said hey and Kristina said hi." Ash replied.
"YES BUT-" Gaby started. Elizabeth pulled the group to the side.
Kristina and Ash smiled at each other.
"Look guys we have to separate them." Elizabeth said in a whisper as the group huddled together.
"But they have some sort of secret language." Katia said.
"They can use it while they are together, but apart its useless. Plus, what if they are telling the truth?" Xander proposed.
"Please! If they were they wouldn't have been so vague with their answers." Jax exclaimed.
"Well we can't just stand here and let them talk let's go!" Gaby shouted in frustration.
The group stalked towards Ash and Kristina.
"Separate, please." Romeo groaned.
"Really? Please?" Jax asked. He pushed past Romeo. He grabbed Kristina's collar and pulled her towards the end of the couch.
"Hey!" Kristina shouted. She didn't do anything to avoid being pulled away. Katia took this as a bad sign.
Jax continued to drag Kristina towards Elizabeth. He gently pushed her forward.
"Psh." Kristina said and brushed her shoulder. She found herself in a circle with Elizabeth looking up at her. Kristina was taller than her by a couple inches. Elizabeth stared into Kristina's eyes. Elizabeth noted in the light they looked like a weird mixture of brown, green, and hazel.
"Jax, Xander, Romeo take Ash. Katia, Gaby, help me with Kristina." Elizabeth said and led Kristina to Devin's room. Jax dragged Ash outside near the trampoline with the other boys.

Ash's Questioning-
Uh...I wish Jax wouldn't haul me to the trampoline. I'm perfectly capable of getting there by myself, Ash thought to himself.
"Okay. What did you and Kristina talk about?" Xander asked his friend.
"Nothing! I was heading outside and bumped into her. She was looking at a Call Of Duty game for the Xbox. I stopped to talk with her and then we noticed Nathan wasn't there. We were questioning each other about it when Elizabeth called us. We were heading to the kitchen when we got into an argument. Then, Kristina hit me with a frying pan." Ash said calmly.
The boys gave him weird looks until Romeo spoke.
Romeo was always the balance. He never sided with anyone and no one ever got mad at him. He was everything a gentleman tried to be.
"Fighting about what may I ask?" Romeo asked with interest. He shoved his hands into his pockets.
"Well...we were accusing each other of killing Nathan. She accused me first and then I accused her. She doubted it and then I told her, 'Oh yeah you're far to weak to kill him'. She got very mad." Ash said.
The boys stared at him for a while. Then, Xander and Jax punched him in the arm.
"Wow you are stupid." Xander said playfully.
"Well its not the wisest of decisions." Romeo added thoughtfully.
Jax just shook his head. Ash smiled sheepishly.
"Okay, last question. What's your last name?" Romeo asked with a smile.
Ash's face visibly paled.

Kristina's Questioning-
Elizabeth lead them to Devin's room. Kristina felt like a prisoner without the handcuffs. She was in the middle of the group with everyone surrounding her.
Elizabeth opened the door to find Nathan and Devin holding hands staring into each others faces.
"I told you it would happen." Gaby muttered.
Kristina snickered. Gaby had always shipped Nathan and Devin. Nathan and Devin jumped apart. Devin crashed onto the floor while Nathan did an awkward pose.
Elizabeth shook her head in disapproval.
"Devin guard the door. Nathan guard the door that leads to outside." Elizabeth said as she made her way to the single bed.
Nathan and Devin walked out their faces red with embarrassment.
"Well that was awkward." Katia said and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Well let's get to questioning." Gaby said. She sat next to Katia.
Kristina sat on the floor. Partly because there was no space on the bed.
"What did you talk about with Ash? Are you hiding something? And why did you hit him with a pan?" Elizabeth asked.
"Well I was sitting down and he came. Then, we talked for a while and we both questioned where Nathan was. We accused each other of murdering him. He accused me and I said I didn't. Then he said that I was right because I was too weak. Them, Elizabeth had called us in and I was still mad at him, so I hit him with a pan." Kristina explained.
"That makes sense. It lines up all right." Gaby said thinking it over.
"I have a question. Elizabeth said she heard you dissuading Ash not to go somewhere. Where was he going?" Katia asked.
Kristina blushed crimson, and bolted for the door. She pushed and heard a thud. She assumed it to be Devin. She opened the door and sprinted towards the front door. She saw Nathan and Devin on the floor near the outside door. Ash was standing right in front of them. Their gazed locked. The ran to the couch and backed themselves into a corner near a door.
"Last name." Ash muttered.
"Dissuade you against leaving." Kristina replied.
Jax and Xander completely ignored Nathan and Devin and stepped over them. Elizabeth stalked out of Devin's room with Gaby and Katia talking behind her.
Romeo came stepping carefully over Nathan and Devin muttering excuse me.
"We just want to talk." Romeo said like he was coaxing a puppy. The group inched forward.
They were just standing in front of the couch when they heard a knock on the door.
"Help! I've been bit!" A voice screamed.
The group looked at each other not knowing quite what to do.
"Anyone got a weapon?" Kristina asked.
