Love Tales : The Undead

Part 1 : You Who Become A Hope

(His P.O.V)
I couldn't remember when did all this happen, i look up to the murky looking sky unable to process what really happen, everyone around me... Is covered in blood and injuries, i look at my own hands, it's very pale and covered with bruises.

Everyday i just walk around together with what you might call 'The Undead' or 'Zombies', i never think anything about it, i already forget what happen to me or the world as i see at a mirror from abandoned store.

I have lost one eye, the inside of my mouth is already start to rotting, even my hands also start to losing flesh, i looking at my self with blank expression, felt nothing about it, because yeah, i am one of them, an Undead.

I start to walk again not knowing where to go untill suddenly i heard loud sound of gun coming from one of the abandoned building making all the undead run (or walk?) toward it.

I walk toward the noise, curious of what really happen then there i saw her, a very beautiful girl around 17 years old with (h/l) (h/c) trying to fight the coming undead to survive.

At that time, my dead heart felt really warm as if it's still working, i felt a longing and yearn feeling toward the (e/c) coloured eyes stranger, the feeling that already died long time ago and yet i felt it, warm and gentle then i immediately relize... I fall in love.

She run toward the secluded place away from the undead and i follow her with my surprisingly still working legs with a bit of distance so i didn't startled her.

She stop to catch some air, her serious eyes making my heart beating (no it's not) so fast, i take my hands over my chest and smiling blissfully "Ahh... She is really gorgeous ❤️" i thought.

Suddenly i heard a groan that startle my now dearest person, she prepare her gun but she run out of ammo, she quickly reach out to her fanny pack trying to loaded her gun but the undead is already too close and she quickly close her eyes, afraid of what will happen.

The undead reach out to her about to bite her but before they able to do that, i reach out to his head and bite their neck and rip off the head from the body, both me and the girl is surprised.

She coming back to sense and finally able to load her gun then point it to me, i who surprised quickly lift both hands making her confused "Are you... No... Your appearance clearly an undead" she said still point her gun to me.

I'm trying to tell her that I won't attack her but when i say a word what's coming out is a low growl and groan, must be due my rotten tongue and throat.

She still looking at me with cautious until a voice called her "(Y/n)?! Where are you?!"

She jerk her head for a bit looking at the voice's way then say "Coming!" Before leave me there alive (or dead?)

I followed them carefully into their hideout, an old concrete house that surrounded with spikes and remodeled to be safe from zombies, the house's door is made out of steel with mechanism i don't understand and all the window is armored by steel to prevent any of my kind to get in.

My beloved get into the house with the man who called to her before, i walk aroinf the house trying to sneak a peak to her.

(Second-person pov)
You're not inside your hideout as you sigh from the safe atmosphere after scavenge to find some food even though you ended up found nothing and almost die from zombies attack, you look at the small thin line across the window and saw the zombie who just save you from another zombie.

"Is something wrong (y/n)?" Rosé (23 years old) asked.

"Ah no, nothing wrong" you said.

You're already living in this house for 2 years after Zain (29 years old), the one who join you scavenge before, found you among the ruins of your house, almost not survive from being alone in zombies surrounded area with a very small mount of food.

You're very grateful to people in this house, there's 9 peoples in total who survive together and none of us actually related but they give you the felt of family after your parents died and turn into a zombie after being bitten by one.

You learn so much about weaponry from Harvey (34 years old), the mechanic of the house, he teach you how to use gun, knive and blades properly "We need to scavange again... Our food supplies getting thin" Kyle (22 years old), our cook, said.

"It's getting harder to find food lately, the places we search at mostly already raided before us" Zain said.

Yes, there's also other group of survivors but they not friendly in the slightest "Then Theo (19 years old), Jace (18 years old) and me will try to find some more" you said.

You and your companion discuss it and agree to send you, Theo and Jace to scavange more resources, in the middle of discussion you say "Um... I want to asked something"

"What it is (y/n)?" Nana (not real name, 56 years old), our oldest member asked.

"Is it possible for an undead to maintain their own consciousness?" You asked remembered the zombie boy who just saved you.

"As long as i remember, as soon as the infection react their brain, their human mind will disappear" Nana said.

You nod from understanding, but you're really curious if that zombie really just saved you, you never saw any zombie attacks another zombie before.

After prepared some weapon and bandages, you are ready to go scavange more resources "You all have your gun ready?" Theo asked.

"Yes" you said.

Before you get out of the house you could hear the high pitched voice of little girl "Becareful!" Said Leah (5 years old), the youngest member.

You have to Leah before quickly get out of the house and lock the door. You, Theo and Jace go south from the house to abandoned houses, you all split up to search different houses.

(His pov)
I saw (y/n) split up from his friends and get inside an abandoned house, i follow her into the house and saw her rummage through things trying to find something and not heard me coming, i look around and saw a can of corn soup so i tell her "Graahh (Here)..." I said.

She quickly looo at my way then point her gun to me making me jump and freeze still holding the corn soup, both of us look at each other and she look at me with confused face "Y-you're undead right?" She asked and i nod making her even more confused.

I look around and find a frying pan, i put the can on the frying pan and hold it to her to tell her that I won't get any close than we're now "T-thanks...." She said as she take the can making my heart fluttering.

I'm so happy that I can't help my self from smiling from cheeks to cheeks making her shocked "Graahhh! Grr!" I said trying to tell her my name but nothing come out making her even more confused than she already is.

I still trying to tell her my name then i got an idea, i touch my bloody empty left eye socket then spell my name on the wall "Re..o?" She asked.

I point at my name at the wall then point at my self "Your name? Your name is Reo?" She asked making me claps my hand then nod making her let out a very cute chuckle making my unbeating heart beat very fast.

"You're really strange did you know? Since you tell me your name then i will tell you mine, my name is (y/n)" she said telling me her beautiful name.

I never know that i will able to felt this happy in my now dead life, i found someone very important and her name is (y/n), i swear i will protect her until the end of times.
