Once upon a Zombie Apocalypse

Someone Somewhere

Friday

Aizawa's view

Someone was home... someone was.. asking someone else to wake up..? That meant at least two people where there.. could Mic and Eri be... alive..? My heart soared at the thought of seeing them again.. my sweet angel.. and my loving partner.. I could.. hold them.. I could.. keep them with me.. we just had to get out of this school.. this hell hole.. " Mr. Aizawa?... are you alright...? Your crying.." a soft voice called. It took my vision a moment to clear before I recognized the voice of Ochako Uraraka.. " Y-yes I'm fine.. I just.. think someone is at home waiting for me.." I smiled back tiredly, watching her anxiety turn into relaxation. " O-Oh I see.. your talking about Present Mic.. and Eri.." she replied quietly, not wanting to wake any students as they fell asleep. " I am.. I call they every day.. and today I got an answer.. someone is alive in that house.. I just.. need them to come out unharmed.." I sighed softly, giving into my frustrations. " I see... I feel the same way.. my mother and father mean everything to me.. I have to see them again in good health...b-but with everything going on.. I'm scared that there won't be anyone for me to go home to..." Ochako whispered back, getting teary eyed as she spoke, struggling to get every word out. " I understand.. I'll do my best to get you to your families as soon as I can.." I reassured her, ignoring the sting in my heart. ' Mina.. Sero.. Hagakure.. what will you tell their parents..? And what if Ochako's parents have turned or passed..? There is no where for them to go..' my thoughts were dark and heavy as it felt like the weight of the world was resting on my shoulders. But I knew I couldn't just give in because of a ' What if' scenario. " T-Thank you sir... I-I'm also really sorry about the s-stunt I pulled... i-it was reckless and stupid... I was only thinking of myself... I wanted to make it up to you.. I-I wanted to feel forgiven.. b-but it only feels like a weight has been chained to my feet... it's so hard to move.." Ochako explained, sniffling and wiping her tears with her hand. " I know... you had good intentions.. but right now that is not what we have to focus on.. right now we should focus on survival methods.." I explained, rubbing the poor girl's head gently. Eri would probably grow up to be just like Ochako Uraraka... soft on the inside and out but tough when it was needed.. friendly and heart strong.. caring and sensitive... maybe that's why I dong blame this girl for breaking down.. because deep down I know that we are all like a family at this point.. I've given them Christmas gifts.. helped with Halloween parties and even helped them prank All Might.. we are just as much a family as anyone else.. I looked over the room, looking at everyone sleep quietly.. until I brought my eyes back to the girl before me.. she was sleeping soundly as she sat on her knees.. quite uncomfortable if you ask me.. and so I moved her onto her side and gave her a blanket to cover up in. These students of mine.. while they were big pains in my side, they were also part of this crazy extended family we had going on.. and I wouldn't have it any other way..

At the LOV hideout

Toga's View

" Shigi, your turn on guard duty.." I yawned gently as I knocked on the crusty man's door. I had a few screws loose, sure, but I'm not crazy enough to go in and shake him awake. Dabi just likes to sit in his room and heat it up until he wakes up. " Ngh.. Coming..." I heard a voice groan back. Poor guy... between having to keep track of supplies and the people here, his sleep schedule is almost nonexistent which is why his shift was the shortest. " We found some old- er.. ladies and some guys who want to help care for the younger ones, and keep them quiet for most of the day.." I informed him as the door opened and I was greeted with his messy bed head and bags under his eyes. " Yeah.. that'll be a big help.." He yawned softly as he rubbed his eyes lightly. This guy.. he probably only got an hour of sleep.. and it's barely midnight.. he works the midnight to two am. shift and then he can sleep so he can wake for the start of the day at 5am when the little ones need diaper changes and bottles. He already had trouble sleeping before all this.. he went off to brush his teeth as I hurried and rewinded the clocks by an hour so it showed that it was still 11pm and not 12am. " Sorry Shigi.. I woke you up an hour early.." I called lightly in guilt as I leaned against the bathroom door frame. " What..? Are you serious..? " he asked, poking his head out of the bathroom to see that it was not time for his shift to begin. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to mess up, my clock got busted and is an hour ahead.." I pouted lightly. " Yeah yeah.. noted.. Look, you don't mind if I go back to sleep, right..?" He yawned as he finished up brushing his teeth. " No no I don't mind! I'll wake you in an hour!" I beamed with an apologetic smile. This would have tipped him off any day but thanks to his tiredness, I was able to pull it off without a hitch. After he went back into his cave that he called a room, I turned back the clocks and set them to normal before going to my post. Sure I was tired, but who wasn't willing to make a few sacrifices around here..? A few hours never hurt anyone.. and all I had to do was sit on the roof and strike down any undead that posed a threat. Some of them were tricky however.. some loved to bite, some were able to grow parts back and others seemed kinda normal.. or so I thought.. until I heard a faint cry from down the street. I hurried over rooftops to the sound, looking to the street to find a man limping away from a zombie. I used my binoculars to see a hole in his pants where it seemed the zombie bit him and its rough looking shape. It wasn't a clean bite, nor was it deep so it wasn't a biter that got him.. the regeneration zombies normally tackle prey to keep it from escaping.. so was this a normal zombie..? My thoughts were interrupted by his loud cry of agony, my eyes flashing with shock as his leg started to look like it was decaying rapidly until it was an ugly sick fleshy tone. This color climbed up his leg and all over his body, his eyes going white before he fell over and started to convuse.. until he stood and walked around like any other zombie.. that normal one.. was an infector.. and it seemed like even a shallow bite can spell game over.. I put my binoculars away and wrote down in my notebook what I found, knowing Shigeraki wouldn't have been able to get over here fast enough to see what happened. I hurried back to my post and didn't dare to take out any zombies lingering near by. My exhaustionn was going to take it's toll and affect my coordination, and that was a risk I couldnt take.
