Big 4-Jackunzel zombie story

The year is 2030 and the world has been taken over by the undead.
"Drifters" is the preferred term by a small group of friends made only after the outbreak.
They're all significantly different but they all par well with each other.
Merida-Excellent at long range weapons, tough heart. Willing to get violent at any moment. Weapon of choice: bow
Hiccup-A sweet intelligent boy, better at melee, good at setting traps. Kind of uptight but it's only because he cares. Weapon of choice: sword
Jack-A young mischievous boy who does not take it seriously. He is decently skilled at both melee and long range. Weapon of choice: hand gun and baseball bat.


"Her pupils are constricted and her eyes are primarily green." Hiccup stated, staring into the empty space in which living corpse once was.
Annoyed and confused Jack turned around to face him, "So? Merida's pupils are constricted and your eyes are completely green. How does that factor into a fucking drifter running from its food?!"
Hiccup shook his head, "You don't get it. It showed signs of an average drifter, with the pealing, dead skin, and the hissing. But... All drifters have constricted pupils and yellow eyes. It had some yellow, but again, it was primarily green. And it was... I think it was crying."

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
