Xeriel lifted his head and looked about with confusion apparent in his eyes as he met a shambling figure that was staggering towards him.
'Er, which movie staging grounds did I just cross over to?' He pushed himself to his feet and looked at the figure shambling over to him.
He looked around and saw ruined buildings, dense trees dotting the landscape here and there.
'Wait, where am I?!' He looked around once again but found nothing in the immediate vicinity familiar in the slightest.
Xeriel walked towards the figure while listlessly waving a hand.
"Um, hello, can you direct me to the exit? And I must say, the decoration in the movie set up is amazing..." When he spoke, he was suprised with how light and silvery his voice sounded, but he chalked it up to the alcohol he drank last night.
What met his ears were a groan, a loud drawn out groan.
'Seems like he's in his role and doesn't want to get out of it...'
He walked over and stopped a few feet away from the 'man' while looking him up and down.
"Dude, I don't know who did your makeup, but it's amazing. And look at your arm, it really looks broken!" Xeriel exclaimed, finding things that shocked him.
'This is definitely a next gen movie, I can't wait to go back home and tell everyone about this.'
The 'man' didn't stop and shambled closer to Xeriel, when a gunshot sounded out.
Xeriel felt something fly by his cheek and saw the 'man' topple to the ground, with dark red blood spilling out.
"Oh my ..." When he was about to say God, his voice caught in his throat causing him to choke as a sensation of imminent doom hovered over his head.
Meanwhile a voice whispered in his mind.
[Never swear by the Pure One, for you shall perish!]
Xeriel coughed bitterly while inwardly rebuking the voice in his mind.
'How was I supposed to know, wait who are you?'
[I am your repressed instincts, formed into an alter ego of yourself...]
'The fuck? If I tell anyone about you, I'll sound like I'm crazy!'
He frowned and looked down and saw a puddle of blood nearing him and was about to comment on the flawless acting the actor did when his eyes met the body.
"OH FUCK! THAT'S A ZOMBIE!!!" He crawled away and looked around for the shooter when he heard the sound of a car engine.
A small minivan swerved to a stop and a man with a rifle in his hand got out and pointed it at Xeriel.
"Looks like we got ourselves a fine specimen this time." He laughed darkly while pointing the gun at Xeriel.
"Get in the car." Xeriel froze, then rose while shaking and got into the car.
The doors slammed and the minivan roared away while Xeriel looked around at the men in the car.
"Say boss, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!"
"I agree dude, I doubt we'll ever get a chance as the boss won't tire of her."
"How about we taste her first and then send her to him when we finish?" Asked a relatively young man in his late teens with undisguised lust burning in their eyes.
'Where's the beauty?' Xeriel wanted to see the so called most beautiful so he turned in the seat trying to see, but he found no one in the seat behind him, just supplies.
He turned back around with confusion apparent on his face.
"Say brother, where is the beauty you all are talking so highly about?"
