"I'm only kidding you, Mit." I lightly tapped his shoulder and didn't bother holding back my laugh at his shocked face. "You know, for being THE GUY of the planet who excels at everything, you're pretty gullible." I chuckled and looked up at the moons, noticing how they were perpetually aligned against each other. Two moons were definitely beautiful together, especially with all the light they casted.
I nearly jumped out of my skin when Mit took my hand. I looked at him, eyes wide and surprised as he took my other hand and held the knuckles to his chest. With his height, he looked down on me. Eyes oozing with sincerity, he took a deep breath.
Mit was softly smiling down at me. I found myself doing the same. "Nyx, we have been through a lot these past nights. I have many duties that I need to fulfill for my people. You have given me the adventure of a light year, and, as an enormous act of appreciation, I will grant you your wish."
He paused for a dramatic effect. With the amount of odd things we've been through the past few 'days', it didn't surprise me that even aliens had a knack for dramatizing things.
"I accept your proposal to bear my children, Nyx."
I nearly had a spaz attack.
"WHAT THE HECK!" I drew my hands back, giving me an appalled look. "Are you on drugs? What do you mean 'bear' your 'children'?" I had a freak-out session right then and there.
He frowned completely confused. "But, I thought the aforementioned, 'kid' means offspring. You said you were 'kidding' me. Is that not what it means?"
"What the hell are you-oh, God," I clutched my face. "I'm going to remind myself to watch what I say to you now."
"But I thought speaking is an act of vocal release? How would you 'watch' what you 'say'?"
I gave him a tired look. "Please stop talking."
"Okay-as the humans would say."
Season 4 of The Virus Within
Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again.
When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
