I was exhausted to say the least. For the first ti since becoming a halfling, or a Fiend for that matter, I was exhausted. My exhaustion was mostly due to the DP drain as I felt a empty feeling throughout my body and my body was fully healed. The only thing on my mind while I made my way to the second floor was to shower and take a nap. When I made it up stairs, the humans were huddling up once more and Tim was shakily holding the sa steel pipe as before. With an exhausted sigh, I asked.
"What the fuck are you doing?"
"Wait a minute you're not a zombie?" Tim asked nervous, while holding the steel pipe before him cautiously.
"Of course not, why would you think that?" I asked exhausted
"You look half dead and you're covered in zombie blood. Plus when the sound of gunshots stopped, we thought you might have been dead." Claire piped up sounding relieved.
"I see, is there a shower I could use?" I asked
"Sure, there are a few on this floor I'll lead the way." Claire said walking away and I grabbed my bags off the floor and quietly followed. We reached a dorm room and Claire opened it and pointed towards the shower. I silently went inside, took my clothes off and started showering imdiately.
"So, what happened on the first floor?" Claire asked from the bedroom.
"Nothing much I just killed all the unde-zombies down there." I replied nonchalantly while admonishing myself for the slip. Claire seed like a smart girl and if I started calling undeads undeads, that would lead to a round of questioning that I couldn't be bothered with at the mont. Though I guess zombies were undead creatures, so calling them undeads wouldn't be so odd? h, better not to risk it.
"You killed all the zombies down there!!" Claire exclaid in shock, not even noticing the slip up
"I wouldn't be alive if I didn't, now would I." I said, as I enjoyed the feel of the water on my skin.
"I guess so but how did you do it?" She asked curiously
"What do you an?" I said
"I an one scratch from a zombie and you'll turn into one of them. I've seen it happen and I suspect the sa goes for their blood as well and you were covered in it. So my question is how aren't you a zombie?" Claire asked. She was getting suspicious and I couldn't really bla her.
"Does it matter?" I replied
"Of course it matters, if you can survive a bite or a scratch maybe we can replicate it." She said indignantly
"Yeah, no you can't. My thod, let's just say is unique." I said as I dried off.
"Unique how?"
"None of your business." I said as I put on a new set of clothes.
"What?!! This could an life and death of a lot of people and it's none of my business." Claire said anger oozing out of her voice.
"Yep." I said as I left the shower fully dressed.
"Selfish prick." Claire said as she stord out of the room.
'Finally so piece and quiet.' I thought as I closed the door. I fell on the bed exhausted but I didn't go to sleep right away as there was a sothing I needed to check.
[Demon's Pride: A True Demon doesn't like to bow, a True Demon doesn't like to kneel and most of all a Demon doesn't like to lose. Your pride will help you vanquish your foes as your blood boils with wrath and indignation.]
'Well that didn't help.' And with that last thought I fell asleep.
*Roarrrrrr*
*Graaarrrrr*
I woke up a few hours later to the sound of loud growls and roars. With a yawn, I walked out of the dorm room and made my way towards where Claire and the others were, they were all staring out the window with looks of horror and fear in their eyes.
"What are you guys looking at?" I asked with a yawn. Hearing my voice everyone turned to look at but no one answered my question. Shrugging my shoulders, I looked out the window and what I saw made stop dead in my tracks, the undead thralls were killing and devouring each other.
"Hey do you know what's happening?" One of the girls asked. If I rember correctly, her na is Roxy. She had black hair, brown eyes and tanned skin.
"Yeah I have an idea and if I'm right they're trying to evolve." I said, my eyes narrowing as I realized that this place was becoming unsafe. Just one evolved undead almost killed , much less the dozens that will be born from this slaughter.
"Evolve?" Claire said turning towards . It seems I had all of they're attention now.
"Listen it's hard to explain, let's just say the zombies that survive will be bigger and stronger." I said walking back to the dorm room where I left my bags.
"Wait a minute, how do you know that?" Claire asked as she and the others followed .
"There was one on the first floor." I said as I reached the dorm. They stopped montarily, stunned at what I just said. Entering the room I took up my guns and loaded them with new magazines as the old ones were empty then I walked into the shower where I left my machete.
"Wait a minute, how much stronger are we talking and how did you kill it?" Claire asked and I couldn't help but sigh.
"Look, they are way bigger and stronger than the regular ones and they can regenerate and as for how I killed it I chopped it's head off." I said, making Claire's eyebrows twitched but before she said anything I cut her off.
"If you're wondering whether you can fight it or if I could beat another one of those monster, the answer is no atleast not without better weapons." I said while cleaning the blood off my blade and there was a lot of it.
"So what are we gonna do?" She asked again and the others behind her looked nervous as well.
"Well, I'm gonna leave this place, what are you guys gonna do?" I said emphasizing 'I'm' and 'you guys' making it clear that we weren't a team. Quite frankly these guys were completely useless but I kind of liked them so I'll help them get out of here if I could.
"Can you, uh, take us with you?" Claire asked with an embarrassed expression on her face. The others were looking kind of desperate as well.
"Sorry, my car only seats four." I said. The others suddenly looked terrified while glancing at each other nervously and with a flicker of another emotion in their eyes. None of them wanted to stay here when those undeads evolved and they would do anything to leave this place. I had a feeling that they were not as innocent as they looked, but they wouldn't do anything while I was here. I was their only way out after all, which puts them in a real bind.
"Wait, there are buses that we use on trips. They should be around back, maybe if you uhm." Roxy said with a bit of hope in her eyes.
"I've never driven a bus before…" I said and they looked down at their feet in despair, which amused a bit.
"But that doesn't an I can't try just don't bla if we crash." I said and their faces brightened up once again. And just like that my next course of action was decided.
