Virus (Narry Zombie AU)

Extra: Alternate ending

There was a little confusion with some questions, when I said “How do they feel about Niall killing himself” there were different ways to take it. I didn’t specify for a reason. It could be the safe zone people, now that they don’t have ‘their cure’, or it could be the boys looking down from heaven watching the scene play out. That was for all of you to decide.

Dedication: @NataliaNJH, @singasong, @TheFaultInOurNarry_x, and @SmilingNiallxxx (because I liked your responses…), &  @Larry_Fireproof (because I like your name and you got the reference)

P.S. It starts similar, but ends differently, this ending will be happy. :)

(All of your reactions to the last chapter were incredible)

(P.P.S some of your guys’ usernames are awesome! i.e @oldrecordhoran, @Niam_is_Burning_Up, @HappilyNarried (epic) etc etc. If I didn’t write your name, I might have missed you sorry.)

 

Enjoy!

Really, if you thought about it, there was nothing to fight for, nothing to live for- if you can even consider this living- nothing to survive for. Because really that’s what we’re doing: surviving. Trying to make it to tomorrow so we can do the same thing, and hope we make it through the night. I wanted to live, not just survive, but now I don’t want to do either. At least with Harry and the lads, we were living, if only for just a little. We could take a break from surviving, to live. And now, I just want it all to end, but at the same time I still had hope that not everything was lost. I could feel it in my gut that Harry wasn’t dead, I felt empty and cold but I still felt this little tug on my heart, heard this little voice in my head that said ‘seeing is believing, and you haven’t seen that they are really dead’, and ‘they could be alive and worried about you, waiting for you to come home’. And it was right, because they were home, even the new four that we had just met.

The sun was raising above the horizon now, the darkness no longer blanketing everything. The world looked serene and peaceful, not like something that was trying to kill us. I knew that I had to get back there, see it to believe it. I still had a small sliver of hope left, and I didn’t want to let it escape. They were my family, all I had left and I didn’t want to lose them. I wasn’t willing to accept their fate until I saw it with my own eyes.

Getting a plan in my head, I thought on how to act it out, and soon figured out how. Quickly, I tripped the one to my left, making him fall to the ground and let go of my arm. I then quickly spun the other around, pulling them flush to my chest and unsheathed my knife putting the shining blade dangerously close to the jugular. In the process, I knocked down the helmet, and long brown hair flowed down past their shoulders. I glanced at the person’s face, and noticed to my surprise that he was actually a she.

By the time the man on the ground came back to reality, I had the girl pressed to my chest with a knife to her throat. Once he saw the position, his face filled with horror, and his hands flew up into a surrender position.

“Wait please, please don’t hurt her. We- we were only trying to help I swear!” I pleaded, the fear in his eyes drowning out the brown that resided there originally, making it a murky dirty brown color. I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering what the hell he was blabbing on about. How was murdering my friends and the boy I loved, helping in any way?

“How?” I scoffed, eyes narrowed anger blazing through my whole body like a fire. “By killing the only people I had left, taking their lives away for no good reason but they were associated with me. Killing the only person I’ve ever loved just because I loved him? By taking their fucking lives because it would hurt me the most, would make me give up this damned fight? Huh? They didn’t deserve any of that. They were innocent, had no part in this fight, yet they lost their lives because of it.” I hissed, voice strong and angry until the very end, where it cracked with the overwhelming sadness that I had just thinking of them really being dead, really being gone. And it was all because of me.
