Mutated Zombie

A Zombie with black smoke surrounding all of its body except its head which was twisted into a crazed hungry expression with green saliva like acid dripping from its mouth. It dripped off its mouth causing it to create a sizzling sound as it fell on the concrete floor eroding its surface.

What made him terrified wasn't the black smoke surrounding it, it was the rhythmic movement of the zombie's sips pronouncing only one-word Food as it looked at them and slowly moved towards them with slow steps. It was different from all the other zombies they had seen before, all of them rushed at them as soon as they sensed them and none of them showed any signs of intelligence but this one here was taking it's time to reach them and it could even pronounce words.

"Wtf is wrong with this world" Harry spat out as he pulled up the gun and shot the zombie.

*Bang *Bang *Bang…

He emptied the magazine on the zombie but the effect he had expected did not happen. As soon as he shot at the zombie the black smoke surrounding the zombie swirled crazy creating a miny tornado with the zombie at its centre. All the bullets vanished inside the tornado and when the black fog subsided what greeted them was the unharmed body of the zombie still murmuring Food with its blood-red eyes staring at them.

Harry's knees went week as he looked at the monstrosity in front of him. If bullets could not harm the zombie then what else could as the only idea he had now was to ram the zombie with the bus.

"It doesn't seem to have any control over the black fog, it seems to be linked to the primal instincts of the zombie. If it could control it properly then we would be zombie food by now" Arya Said with a cool head. As soon as she woke up from her unconscious state she felt different as if she was more level headed and a bit cold too. It seemed like as if there was a piece of ice inside her head spreading coldness inside, helping her maintain her cool in such situations.

"Let's run," Arya said as she turned towards the driving seat. She was a much more capable driver than Harry, she often drove to college on her car.

"Good idea why fight when you can run for your life," Harry said with a hollow laugh as he sat on the seat next to him and he swapped the gun with the second guns Jason had.

Arya glanced at the zombie which was still slowly coming towards them and revved up the engine as she put the bus on the reverse and floored the accelerator hoping to get away from the zombie.

But the thing that made her think that she was dreaming was that no matter how much she floored the accelerator or which way she turned the bus, it remained stationary.

She looked down from the side window with a horrified look on her face as no matter how much she had changed what was happening now would scare even the bravest of souls.

The black smoke had seeped below the bus and it had lifted the bus above the floor making it hover one inch above the floor.

"Are we going to die here?" Harry said as he looked at the zombie. It was almost upon them it was just a foot away from the front of the bus.

"Not as long as I'm alive," Arya said as she mustered her courage and jumped off the bus and landed on the floor.

The zombie changed its focus from the bus to her as she looked directly at the zombie.

Ever since she woke up she had been feeling as if something inside her was calling itself from inside her to be unleashed onto the outer world. It had no malicious thoughts just the desire to come out and help her. The feeling it gave was as if it was a puppy wanting to please its master. When the zombie came in front of them it had turned to an aggressive mode as if wanting to protect her, she had been trying her best to control it but now this was her only chance.

She closed her eyes as she imagined letting go of the control.

What she did not know was that as soon as she closed her eyes the air around her turned frigid and the temperature turned down soo fast the water vapour surrounding her turned to snow the ground surrounding her froze at a blazing fast speed. It looked as if she had her own snow domain surrounding her with snow falling on her still form. The snow soon started moving in fast speed surrounding her as it circled her. Creating a mini blizzard around her.

Harry who was looking from the bus could not help but rub his eyes looking at the amazing scene in front of him

"I want superpowers too" Harry muttered under his breath with longing in his voice.

The snow surrounding her came to a stop midway as Arya opened her eyes. She was astonished by what was in front of her but she first gazed at the zombie still coming after her and she pointed her hand at him and as she felt the connection between her and the mysterious force within her, she expressed her feelings of attaching the zombie.

The domain surrounding her came to life as she willed it to attack the zombie. Various sharp ice shards formed and shot towards the zombie.

But the black smoke surrounding the zombie formed a wall of pure black in front of it as it blocked the ice shards and the zombied kept moving forward towards her.

Arya scrunched her brows as she willed the power inside her to lay out a stronger attack.

All the ice shards started coming together and formed a huge ice shard which sped towards the zombie.
