The Fault in Our Kinds: Book One

Encounter

I woke up to two green heads hovering over me, with a perplexed look on their faces. A normal person would have screamed and flail about, but I just went back to sleep; it takes a lot of energy to be kicked in the head.

I woke up again about an hour later to two sleeping Zombies besides me in a dark and eerie alleyway. I didn't want to wake them up so I just sat, contemplating my life choices. For a second, I forgot that it was the Zombie Apocalypse and that everybody was running for their lives. For a second, I forgot that there were two Zombies were using my feet as pillows as they slept. It was nice, being able to forget everything, but that feeling didn't last long.

Moments later, the little girl woke up screaming, I wouldn't blame her seeing that a Meifwa girl that she never met before was looming over her. Her shrieks eventually awoke her brother, who surprisingly, appeared to be unfazed and kept his composure.

"Willow, stop screaming at the Rainbow Wolf..." he said

"For your information, I am a Meifwa, and I have a name!" I shot back.

"OK calm down princess, we're all confused here" he replied nonchalantly

"PRINCESS!!!"

He turned to his sister "Now Willow, apologize to Rainbow Wolf"

"I'm sorry Rainbow Wolf," Willow said

"If somebody calls me Princess or Rainbow Wolf one more time.." I hissed

"Calm down, no need to be so harsh. If you don't want us calling you that you should have told us your name. My name is Leaf, and this is my twin sister Willow. What's yours?"

"Ambrosia, Ambrosia Blueheart, age 13, Meifwa and aspiring author, pleasure doing business with you" I gritted through my teeth "Now I would love to stay and continue... whatever this is, but I have to get home to my family so bye!"

"Just give us your social security number why dontcha'?" Leaf mumbled.

"Hey! We saved you from getting hurt, so now you have to help us!' Willow spat.

"And just how am I able to help you? It's friggin '...riot out there!" I replied. I would have said Zombie Apocalypse but that would've been rude.

"You can start off by giving us a place to stay..." Leaf implied. I knew my parents... scratch that, literally everybody I know and love will make it their personal mission to kill me if I even brought up the notion that I would be letting two Zombies into my home. But I still did it anyway, it felt nice to rebel.

I lead Willow and Leaf through the dark and eerie alleyway and through the back of the parent forbidden apartments that are known as the perfect spots for... well ... illegal exchanges and interactions (if we were, to put it bluntly). We finally reached my humble, cookie-cutter house on BlueHeart Avenue, which was named after my father since he won the Game of Chance. Then came the hardest part, getting them inside.

According to my calculations, there were two points of entry:

Through the door. This would take a master plan that had no flaws and a lot of lying, which is what I devised, however, this is still a risky option.

Through my bay-window, this would be easier since my house only has one floor and quicker since I always leave my bay-window open to sneak out onto the roof.

I decided to pick the second option since I was too lazy to come up with a plan... OK because Willow was already climbing inside through the window. The next thing I knew, I heard a loud thump, followed by another, and another. The last one was me.
