THE NIGHT THE DEAD STARTED WALKING

A New Friend

Merida*
I could tell she was uncomfortable because of how she would look down at her clothes and then quickly looked away or how she'd shift around and pull her clothes away from her body. I mean she did have all kinds as of blood on her clothes , from both creepers and from friends,specifically Aladdin's. Her hair was full of dried up blood. I'm sure mine was also. It's been a while since the suicide. I'm not even sure how long. It's been a while though. I'd say about a month. Meg followed Aladdin about a week later by popping pills we found in a pharmacy. Eric sacrificed himself in order to save Ariel after a herd of creepers managed to catch up to us during a run. It was in vain.. Ariel died a little later. Her foot was healing, but she couldn't really walk on it still. We had sat her down on a chair while we searched a store. A creeper caught us by surprise and because of her foot, when she tried to get upand run she stumbled and brought the creeper down on top of her. She got bit in the throat and I had to put her out.
We lost everyone. It's just us again. Hiccup,Jack,Punzie and I were the only ones that survived and I was scared our luck was going to run out soon. Punzie got a lot better at shooting, but then we figured out that sounds attracted the creepers so we have to "upgrade".
That's what we're doing right now. We're about to break into a weapon store. Hopefully we found some clothes soon or wash our cause god! We're bloody.
" Ready guys?" Hiccup asked.
"Pff I was born ready " I said smirking.
" of course" he said before starting to walk to the front of the store. We followed. When we got to the front Jack looked through the windows.
" Four in there" He said.
I got out my pocket knife.
I tried opening the door and groaned when I found out it was locked. I made way for Jack.
We heard the click and off we went to kill off the creepers.
I grabbed the first one that I saw and stabbed it 5 times before it fell over. I looked at Punzie. She kicked in it's legs and as soon as the head made contact with the ground she stomped on it's head a few times before it finally went limp.
When I looked at Hic and Jack they were already walking away from 2 other dead creepers. I followed them. Jack picked another door open.
" Holy shit... "
I glanced up to see what they were looking at. There sat the biggest weapon collection I have ever seen.
" omg!" I heard punzie say behind me. I just nodded my head. I could only manage a huge grin.
" well let's go!" Jack shouted happily.
I walked around very slowly just admiring every single blade and gun. That's when I saw it. I compound bow. I grabbed it and it's quiver and arrows. Hell yes!!! I couldn't stop smiling.
"Damn..." Hic said behind me.
I turned to him and smiled.
He found a sword and old fashioned one. It was beautiful the blade looked brand new and the handle was carved beautifully. Hiccup had practiced fencing when he was smaller then he gave up after he was bullied for it.
" Dibs" he said while smiling at me. Then he grabbed a few more small knives and daggers. He stuffed some down his jeans others his shoe and more in a bag we had found a while back.
"Would you look at this? "
I turned and looked at Jack. He held a weird looking staff. I've seen them a few times, but not a lot. It was... What was it?... A sickle staff?? I don't remember the exact name, but it looks cool as hell.
" Ummm... I don't think there's anything here that.. I can use.. " Punzie said from the corner eyeing everything.
"It's ok Punzie" just start off with something small ok? You can work your way up" Hiccup said.
She looked for a little bit.
" Is this ok?.." She asked while holding up a dagger.
"That's fine " we all said.
She smiled. There wasn't really much selection from here except for guns so we decided to take more anyways... Just in case. After a while we were loaded with guns and each of us had one silent weapon.
We walked out of the store and locked the door. We walked away from the store hoping to find place to sleep away from all the creepers.

Punzie's

Hiccup*
We've been walking for days now. We've had no luck in finding a stable shelter,but these quiet weapons we got help a lot.
We stopped in front of a huge three story house. I looked at Meri. She nodded. I walked up the steps and everyone followed. I checked the door handle and to my surprise it was open.
I opened the door slowly and crept inside. Everyone else followed.
"Hello?" Jack called out.
We waited patiently for anything to come out.
" I think it's clear.Let's check the house."Merida said while walking up some steps. Punzie followed her, bow drawn and dagger out.
I stayed down with Jack to search the first floor. I went to the kitchen first praying that there was something left. Food was getting a little scarce.
I looked through drawers and cabnits. Nothing. I opened one more and found a single can of sliced pineapple. food!!
Right when I was about to grab it I heard a growl. I tensed up. I turned my head slowly , feeling adrenaline pumping trough my body. Beside me stood a big black Labrador. I felt myself relax, but not entirely. I had a black lab baring it's teeth at me.
I just didn't want this dog to bark and alert creepers. I tried to pet it.
"Down boy down.. It's ok I'm not gonna hurt you"
When he saw what I was trying to do, he growled louder, but I tried kept moving my hand forward. I touched the top of his head slowly and just started to pet his back. That seemed to relax it. Soon I had the lab on it's back asking for a belly rub. I chuckled and began to scratch it's belly.
It's a boy.
I smiled at him and get seemed to be trying to smile at me. I tried to hold back a laugh as I looked at his face. He looked toothless. I smirked to myself. He had on a green collar and I decided to check the tag. Well... What do you know?... His name is actually Toothless.
" woah... Dude you found a dog!" I looked to my right. Jack stood there in amazement.
"Yeah his name is Toothless."
" wow.. Dude it been so long since I've seen a dog! Well... Alive that is. "
"Yeah things are looking up" I said while petting Toothless. I then got the can of pineapple and called the girls down.
" Oh my God!!!!!!"Punzie said while running down the steps, " Meri!They have a dog!"
" Alright.. Alright I'm coming!" She exclaimed while laughing.
Her smile was wide and for a long time in a while it felt almost normal. With Punze's child like attitude, Meri behind her laughing and Jack by my side.. It felt nice.. To see someone smiling again.
" whose a good boy!? Whose a good boy?!" Punzie said while scratching him.
"Careful he's a little feisty" I say while laughing.
"Oh, he's nothing but a big sweet heart" she responded while hugging him.
Toothless licked her face and Rapunzel giggled. I couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly Toothless stopped licking her and stood in a attacking stance while growling and facing the door.
Oh what now?
