CHAPTER TWO:

— asswipes and badasses

"so what's life like during the apocalypse?" josh asked laying down with his hands behind his head.

"in a word?" i finished for josh propping my head on my elbow next to him.

"extra" we both said and josh rolled over to grab a notepad that had excellent crossed out and "EXTRA!" written in its place.

"be the flow." josh finished.

i got up and walked to the kitchen, josh following behind me.

"our digs belonged to some armanian gangster, but he's gone"

"ghoulie meat" i interrupted and josh rolled his eyes.

"so we invoked the ancient rites where finders are keepers" i smirked at josh.

"and losers are weepers" he replied annoyed.

he's just mad because i found this place before he could. i mean let's face it, josh found me and hasn't left my side.

you'd think he would just leave me alone after the first day of being here but for some reason he literally would not leave me alone. so i let him stick around, he's helped somewhat.

no, no, no, i do not want to replay the flashback of us meeting!

please?

fine!

i was now standing in the living room of my little apartment instead of being in the kitchen with josh. i heard someone almost yell outside, but i wasn't sure.

i looked down at what i was wearing, the same black ripped jeans and my red long sleeve with a black t-shirt on over my long sleeve. my black t-shirt had red on it that said "stranger things". i had on my combat boots with my dagger stuck in the side. my bow and arrows were on my back and i still had the holsters of knives around my thighs and on my waist. i had on my chain necklace with a lock and my hair was down in curls. my purple hair and bangs sweeping across my face.

i grabbed my LED purge mask and looked outside where the yelling was coming from.

a ghoulie had attacked a kid, the kid screamed and i saw the ghoulie tried to take a bit but the kid was strong enough to keep it from biting them. just almost though.

i cursed under my breath before going to the balcony and grabbing my bow and one single arrow.

i put the arrow in my bow and pulled the string back, breathing in deeply before focusing my eyes on my target.

the ghoulies head.

i released my breath and the arrow as it shot straight into the ghoulies head, making the ghoulies fall off the kid and the kid laid there.

he finally got up and saw me standing there.

"hey!" he yelled as i put a finger to the mouth of the mask. i turned back inside shutting the door behind me.

not even 20 seconds later the door to my apartment went flying open and there stood josh wheeler.

"josh wheeler"

"who are you?"

i didn't answer, i got an arrow that was in the holster in my back, "leave"

"who are you?" he wouldn't budge. but no one knew i was alive.

you may ask how? well i keep a very low profile. and no one but me knows who the "purge queen" is.

the tribes know someone out there is alive and killing the ghoulies, they just don't know who. so they've been calling me, "purge queen" because of the mask i wear and how many ghoulies i have slaughtered.

is this still high school? just a super fucked up version of it i guess.

"it's one of the only rules left because there are no adults" i heard josh finish. good i was back. i hate flashbacks.

i sighed, "everyone over the age of 18 is gone, well mostly" then we walked away to the roof.

josh opened the hatchet door, "the bombs must've been biological." he hopped out and helped me out.

"most adults melted into goo" he continued.

i hopped over a small wall like josh did, "the rest turned into what we like to call 'ghoulies'.
and that's where my title plays in"

we both peered over the ledge of the roof watching ghoulies walk across the street saying random stuff.

"i should cancel my facebook account. it's too divisive." a ghoulie said as i just smirked again for the millionth time.

i took an arrow from my holster and aimed one at the ghoulie, but waited.

"i know it seems like they're having a conversation, but they're not." josh said looking at me.

"they only say the last stupid thing that they were thinking, but that doesn't mean they are harmless" i said and kept my gaze on the ghoulies below.

"they will rip your head off and chug your blood. i mean look at this guy. it's like prime rib night at the golden corral down there."

i released my arrow and it hit the ghoulie eating a squirrel.
