Breakaway {Markiplier X OC & Lisbug X OC} BOOK ONE

chapter nineteen | | echo

I look around me, frantically trying to count the people around me.

Lynne, Bella...

I'm transported back to that first day, when the screams were the loudest, people dying...changing.

Luna, Caleb...

There was this girl, I don't remember her name, and she was cornered against a wall. There were walkers on every side...

Jinxx...

I tried to clear the herd, to get to her, to save her. They all leapt on her at once tearing into her flesh, there was so much blood.

Lisa, Mark...

I've never been the same since that day, I didn't want to be responsible for anymore death... so I never became responsible for anymore life. It's kill or be killed in this world, and naturally, for me, I chose kill.

Everyone is accounted for.

"Alright people, you wanna stand outside and get drunk, maybe fuck some zombies?" I say sarcastically putting my wooden spear back in its harness. I don't understand why every calls it a staff, it makes me sound like a cripple... wait, my leg. Damnit. Still though. I make sure everyone's gone inside before joining them, latching the door shut behind me.

"That was fun." I say flopping down on the couch, "We need to do that again sometime. Or always, no guns made me feel like part of the team ya know."

Luna rolls her eyes and the others just glare at me.

"What?" I whine.

"You make horrible jokes; you know that right?" Luna says.

"Yes but normally you'd find bad jokes funny!" I protest.

"Not yours." Says Luna.

"Oh you're no fun." I say unbuckling my harness and throwing it somewhere in the room. I didn't care at the moment.

Lynne and Luna would often times get annoyed with my cockiness but honestly, it was a defence mechanism, it all was. I don't even know what my personality even is anymore!

I play with the chain around my neck, the small golden sun charm, comforting me. I just had to keep them safe, then everything would be okay.
