Rico

Ever since that incident at the lab, Lesi has just been sleeping this entire time. I didn't want to wake her because she seems so at peace. The wind outside is starting to pick up and I haven't seen the sun all day. The fury in me hasn't come out yet but I feel like it will soon. I looked out the window and at the sky. A storm is coming.

How did all of this even happen. I don't even understand or put the pieces together.

"Ugh Rico...What even happened?" Lesi wakes up

"A whole lot of shit" I say going back into yesterday. "You okay?"

"I...feel okay. I think." Lesi gets up and walks towards the window. "A storm is brewing Rico."

"Hurricane? Tropical Storm? I should check—" As I was going for my phone, I realized that we are in a zombie apocalypse. I look at Lesi

"We can just stay here. For now, if it floods then we can leave. You ever heard of a storm during the apocalypse?"

"No. But it's gonna be loud so if your lil scary ass get scared just cuddle into daddy" I smile as she blushes.

"Shut up Rico." She walks back to the bed.

"You're soo cute. 😊"

"Leave me alone" She turns over and goes back to sleep.

"Sweet Dreams Lesi poo." I walk towards the kitchen and grab a can of food and ate in the chair while watching the door. I looked out the window and saw two people. I grabbed Lesi machete and walked to the door and looked at the door as it twisted.

"Most people are dead the houses gotta be empty." The door opened and I saw a family I aimed the machete at them

"Hold on kiddo. We won't hurt you." The father said to me.

"Wait...Matt?" The girl walked up to me and gave me a hug. "It's me...Madison." She hugs me tighter.

"Hi..." I look at Madison and seen her little brother.

"Where is your family? Your brother your parents?" I look down.

"My mother is dead and my dad and brother drove to Vegas." I said still aiming the machete

"Put the machete down son." The man aims his shotgun at me then points to Lesi "I swear she will never wake up"

"Don't TOUCH her" I ran to the man as Madison tries to hold me back. I look at Lesi and she starts moving a little. Her eyes flutter open

"Rico. What's going on?"

"Nothing Lesi just rest you need it..."

"Who are they." Lesi backs up and her bite mark shows.

"Holy shit she's bitten." The father tries to shoot Lesi as I move her out the way "What the hell man she woulda gut you."

"You don't get it. We are immune." I replied

"What do you mean you are immune?"

"We get bit we don't die." Lesi says.

"Well, we do it depends on where we get bitten at."

"They are immune ya'll can get us out of this mess."

"No, we can't." Lesi nods

"Ya'll can't?"

"We are already mutated." I say

"That doesn't make sense??" Madison says. Lesi sighs in frustration.
