Jacob is yelling, causing the Z's to go psycho. Which is sort of ironic, when you think about it, considering that he is psychotic and a cult leader. I mean seriously, worshiping zombies and believing that they are closer to heaven than we are?
That's ridiculous. Zombies aren't even alive... really.
10k is squinting, looking into his scope.
'Can you get a shot?' you ask, nervously.
'No. I need to get onto the roof,' he replies.
You sigh. You would have thought someone who is a good shooter like 10k could get always get a shot. Or at least cause a distraction...
The idea forms in your mind quickly, and you turn the opposite way to 10k, making your way over to the open door at the end of the hallway.
'Y/N! What are you doing?' he yells, noticing you turning away.
'Go! I've got this!' you yell back, running out of the door.
You see the group kneeling with their hands behind their backs, tied up.
'Hey Jacob!' You yell, walking up to him.
'Yes, my dear sister?'
'Can I ask you something?'
He frowns and looks at the group.
'Can't you see I am busy, sister? Maybe I need to tie you up as well.'
You hold your hands up high.
'I'm not armed. Trust me, I'm harmless. But I want to know about your story. And how you built your... amazing establishment through these hard times.'
Addy scoffs.
'Are you feeling alright?'
You turn back to her and wink.
'Of course I am, my sister. In fact, I am feeling more than alright. I am incredible! I am standing next to the most powerful man in history, the one and only Jacob!' you yell.
Jacob smiles at you.
'How would you like to serve the resurrected? Would you like to join our church or become one of the gods themselves?' He asks.
'First, I would like to know more about your wonderful journey. Tell me.'
Jacob signals for the guards to put their guns down.
'My brothers and sisters, run inside and round up the last of the resurrected. Keep these people tied up for the time being. I will be back soon.'
The guards spread out, and enter all of the buildings separately. Jacob walks around the corner, and in the split second he's turned around you throw a knife at Warren, so they can cut the rope around their wrists.
10k jumps down from the roof to help, and you follow Jacob.
He walks into the armory, which is deserted and full of blood and... brains.
'My dear sister, what can i tell you about my journey. Well, it's been a lot. It takes a lot to get to where I am today.'
You fake-smile.
'I can tell. It's amazing. So, Jacob, what is your view on mercy? Is it the right thing to do or not?' you say, reaching on the shelves to grab your beloved machete.
Jacob eyes the weapon and then you, and starts to get up.
'Don't worry, my dear brother. I would never hurt you. This is for the others.'
His eyes widen.
'You would betray your own group?'
You scoff.
'Who says they were my group? I really came here to find you.'
He smiles.
'Well thank you.'
'So,' you continue, dusting off the blade. 'What about mercy?'
Jacob laughs.
'It's hardly mercy. Mercy is bullshit. Why would you want to be dead, be nothing when you could be a part of the superior race in society? Doesn't make sense.'
'I didn't know we still had a society.'
'I'm not sure if we do either. But zombies, they're special. They are holy, and need to be worshiped. So mercy, mercy isn't right. Why would you deny somebody their chance at being the best they've ever been?'
You chuckle.
'That is correct, Jacob.'
He keeps on going, talking about mercy and his experiences. You smile accordingly, playing along. He doesn't notice your blade sneaking closer to you until it's right through his stomach.
'W-what?' he stutters.
'Guess what Jacob? Let's see how it feels to be a Z.' You rip the blade out of him, and he crumples to the ground.
You turn to leave, and hear him gasp.
'M-mercy.'
You shake your head and chuckle.
'Why would I deny somebody their chance at being the best they've ever been?'
And with that, you walk outside in the bright sunshine, where your family is waiting.
Hey everyone! Sorry that this isn't the best. I can write another shot involving this scenario, or whatever! I hope that you enjoy this trash though, more stuff is to come! I already have a couple of one shots sorted out and ideas for some new ones, so watch out for those. My series will have some parts coming out soon, but it takes a while to write the parts for the series! Part one is coming soon so watch out for that.My friend and I were talking about Charlie's death, and that they could have avoided it and it inspired this. I decided that writing our original theory/solution would be a really short and boring story so I made this!
Love you all xx
