Addison opened her eyes and stretched her sore limbs, yawning. Her hand searched for a familiar body but was met with an empty bed instead.
"Zed ?"
A groan.
She frowned and slowly got out of bed. The noises came from behind her bathroom door, closed shut.
"Zed ?"
Another grunt.
She tried to open the door but it was locked.
"Zed !"
"L- rrruh, ah !" Ragged breaths. "Ah ! Hurrr... leave !"
A hit against the door.
"Is it your Z-band ?!"
Another hit made the door quake.
Addison ran over to her night table to get Zed's phone. Her parents were out for the weekend and she had snuck her boyfriend into her house -her boyfriend who happened to be a zombie. But she had no idea what to do if the bracelet keeping him from going back to his mindless zombie state stopped working.
Another hit. What if the door came out of its hinges ?
She brushed away the thought and called Zed's father.
"Zed ! Are you kidding me, it's 8 AM !"
"Sir ? I'm sorry !"
"Addison ? Hi ! Sorry, I thought it was-"
"I know, hm... his Z-band stopped working, what do I do ?!"
Silence.
More groans and she started being very concerned about her door. Did he remember how to unlock it ?
"Is he over ? At your house ?!" He exclaimed. "Never mind, call our doctor, his number is in Zed's phone."
Addison nodded and went downstairs to her father's training room to get a bat. Just in case.
"I'm on my way !"
"Thank you Sir !"
She hung up and did as he had said.
Zed's father and the doctor were on their way. And she had a bat.
"Addy." She told herself. "You got this."
Hopefully all those years being trained by her father weren't for nothing.
She was going back to her room when she heard a crash. Oh.
"Urrrrrh !"
She ran as fast as she could.
Here he was. Green hair. Purple veins all over his pale skin. Large dark circles.
Standing in her room.
