\Third Person View/

Zavier and Emma pass by abandoned shops as they walk along the street. Zavier walked unfazed by the broken glass but Emma was looking in every shop, trying to look for anything useful they could use. Emma spotted a clothing store and immediately grabbed Zavier by the forearm. Zavier growled and pulled his arm back. " What is it? " He spat out and turned to face Emma, who was looking like a puppy when their owner had returned home. Emma pointed at the clothing store with a goofy smile on her face. " Let's get a makeover " sounded more like a demand than a suggestion. Zavier scanned Emma and sighed. He couldn't let Emma run around in a skirt. Zavier sighed and jogged towards the clothing store. Emma followed behind happily. Zavier didn't bother going through the door, the glass window was broken so he went through it while Emma opened the door and walked in. But when she did, a bell rang. On top of the door was a hanging bell to indicate there was a customer. Now, it's to indicate there's food for the creatures. Zavier grabbed Emma and pushed her against the wall and stood in front of her in a defensive stance. Emma took out her gun as her eyes darted around the spacious room. " If we get killed, I'm really sorry " Emma whispered into Zavier's ears. He moved away and smirked. " Bold of you to assume we're dying ". Emma stood there surprised with Zavier's response. Right after, a loud gurgling sound was heard. Zavier firmly gripped on his bat as his eyes landed on the creature who was limping towards them. Zavier patted Emma's shoulder, indicating that it would be okay before getting into a swinging stance like a baseball player. Emma stayed against the wall, still not knowing if he was right or not. Who would trust a person they just met in a life or death situation? The creature slowly but surely moved closer to Zavier. When it was close enough, Zavier swung the bat as hard as he could and put the zombie on the ground. Zavier looked over at Emma and did a simple nod. They walked around the store looking at clothes. Zavier went to the counter, hoping there would be a bag there for Emma. When he went behind the counter, another creature came out from the backroom and tackled Zavier to the ground. Zavier bat had rolled away from him, leaving him defenceless. Emma heard the metal bat making contact with the ground before hearing someone struggling. She ran towards the noise and saw Zavier trying to hold a zombie away from his exposed skin. She picked up the metal bat that was on her feet but froze up. "Help me dammit! " Zavier cussed and looked at Emma. Emma was staring at the zombie anxiously. She can't do it, she still thinks it's human. Zavier let out a loud groan that caught Emma attention. They made eye contact instantly. Zavier noticed this and called out her name. " I don't know you, but I trust you... " Zavier said, his voice shaking from the creature who was struggling to bite him. Emma could see the panic in his eyes. Zavier pushed the creature further away from him. Emma swung as hard as she could, making contact with the creature's head. Her swing was strong enough for some teeth to fling out, with blood spurting out of its nostrils and mouth. The creature was hurled onto the ground and it jerked in a stomach-churning manner. Emma watched with her eyes wide open, processing what she had just done. " Took you long enough. " Zavier commented as he looked at his shirt, which was covered with blood. " I'm glad we're in a clothing store, I can just throw this one away. Disgusting.. " He continued and walked around to find a shirt. Emma was kneeling down, studying the slowly dying creature, moving the head with the bat to check if it's dead. She picked up one of the teeth that was bashed out and it was yellowish, with blood on one side. " Eww, people don't brush their teeth nowadays, huh. There's even blood... " Emma remarked and threw the tooth away as she stood up. She followed Zavier when she spotted something between the hangers. " Oooooo.. This will definitely fit you. " She said, pulling it out. It was a pastel pink sweater with the text written on the front, ' Angelic '. " Are you okay? I am not wearing this... " Zavier answered and continued looking through. " Just WEAR IT. " Emma ordered as she tossed the sweater to Zavier, landing on his face. Emma carried on looking for a top for herself when she turned her head to Zavier again to see the pink sweater tied around his waist. " I told you to wear it, not use it as an accessory! " Emma said and Zavier shrugged and walked around. " You know what, you can just wear this shirt. " Emma pulled out a plain black shirt with long sleeves and threw it at Zavier. " Stop throwing things at me! " Zavier exclaimed, clearly annoyed. Zavier was changing into the black shirt he was given when he heard Emma squeaking in delight. " This is so cuteee! " Emma blurted out as she picked up a pink skirt together with a plain white tank top. She skipped away to the corner to change quickly, chucking the uniform away. She looked into a mirror which was shattered and she smiled genuinely. " Heyy, how do I look? " Emma hopped towards Zavier, posing jokingly. Zavier let out a small chuckle and left a small smile on his face. " That's pretty good " Emma stood there surprised. The man who had been frowning and sounding aggressive smiled at her, of course, she would be shocked.
