Chapter 54: Coincidence or Prophecy

~ Third Person's Point of View ~

It took to long for Alice to distract the undead. He is definitely different from the zombies she had encountered with.

He was too wise and smart to put a trap and let his victim fall into it. How ironic and unique.

As the princess makes a strategy on how to get back her sword, the undead remained with his position.

He was standing and stepping into Alice's legendary  phoenix sword that makes the princess baffled and devastated.

Alice said, "You are different! Why does you are not moving and give me the opportunity to get my weapon?"

The undead growled horribly like he can understand what she was trying to say. "Grrrrrgggh!" It howled loudly that made Alice looked down and tried to avoid his saliva.

Alice decided to spread her arms and give the undead a chance to attack her. She murmured, "Attack me and see what will happen next."

In an abrupt way, the undead hit the princess's arm instead of biting it. Alice exclaimed, "Come on! Do not waste my time!"

The infected prince did not know that he is the destined mage who can reverse the current phenomenon. He cannot recognize either the princess he'd met, a year ago.

How can be this faith became too irrational? How can they categorize it between coincidence and prophecy? How can they both discern that they need each other to put an end to an apocalypse?

How can the Prince remember that the woman in front of him is the princess. His first love and kiss.

The princess tried to hear the voices of Billy and Cartlon despite of struggles she was encountering with. Unfortunately, there's no trace of them around. Instead, she only hears the sweet and wild howls of wild animals living in the wide and dark forest.

The night have never been too cold as of now. Alice whiffed and said impatiently, "What are you waiting for, zombie? I am here, offering myself to you! But why does you're not making any move and or attacks?!"

Frustation plastered into the princess's face. In her entire life, she have never felt this devastated and upset. "WHAT KIND OF UNDEAD ARE YOU?! WHY DOES YOU'RE NOT BITING ME EVEN THOUGH I'M GRANTING YOUR PURPOSE?!"

Alice was too mad and furious as the undead move its head side to side while drooling over.  "Grrgggh!" The undead growled but Alice stared at him like he was a human being.

"Gggrrgh!"

"Move away and I will cut your head, ugly zombie!"

However, the princess was starstruck upon glimpsing the small round pin on the zombie's shoulder. Alice realized his suit and the meaning of the pin.

She uttered, "A prince's suit!" 

Unexpectedly, the undead grab the princess's arm without any warning.

For the second time, Alice fall from the undead's trap but this time, she cannot escape from him.

The zombie tighten its grip into Alice's left arm and began to open his mouth. "Let go of my arm, hideous freak!"

Alice earned enough strength to nudge the undead. She did it but all out of a sudden, Alice was fumbled when she try to make another blow.

Until she fall into the surface and enduring the pain on her chest. Then the undead grab the opportunity to pull Alice's leg.

"Let go of my leg!" She exclaimed hysterically.

Alice shouted  but it did not grind out. By then, she thought of kicking him off until she can reach her sword. "Come on! Come closer to me!" She said as she crawls quickly while the zombie loses its grips into her leg.

The prince looked behind her and see the undead who's going to touch her again. This time around, Alice stood up without thinking the pain on her blossom.

The sword was in front of her. One more spike and she can slash its neck with no mercy and doubt.     

Alice was breathing deeply as she bend her knees to prepare herself for another invasion. She was gazing at the undead who can't feel anything aside of being hungry and greedy.

"Woah, you are making me weary and in troubled! You have consumed my time and now, it's my time to take my revenge." Alice proclaimed. 

Forgetting and putting aside the agony, the princess turned around and punches the zombie's face. The brave and courageous princess did not stop until she whacked him off that made the undead sputtered and off balance. 

Alice did not waste any time. She then get her weapon from the ground and pointed it on the undead's neck. "Alas! It is your last chance to say goodbye!" She smiled abruptly, thinking that she finally defeated the infected prince.

The zombie's eyes began to change its colour. From being all white into a bluish one and he stopped from drooling.

The zombie was kneeling down in front of the armed princess but still, attempting to hurt her.

She said, "You can not hurt me because I can beat you in just one swipe of my sword. Goodbye but I have to kill you tonight!"

She was grasping the hilt of her sword so closed. Abruptly, Alice swipes it and was targeting the undead's neck when she accidentally step into a stone.

Unexpectedly, she cut herself. Alice dropped it and see her bleeding palm.

"How can I stop it from bleeding?!" Alice did not know that the undead was closer to her.

Out of nowhere, the undead drank the droplets that came from Alice's palm. He was too aggressive and hostile.

Alice looked at the undead disgusted and grossed. She exclaimed, "A zombie who desires a human blood?! It is impossible!" 

The zombie tasted her royal blood and it looks craving for more. "Grgh! Grggh!" The undead moaned horribly while trying to grasp the princess's wrist.

Alice moaned when the undead accidentally scratched her left arm. By then, blood come out from the wound. She exclaimed, "You shall be killed by now! Remember, this is your last chance to hurt anyone else especially those people who are special to me!"

The princess attempted to endure the pain on her arm, palm and chest. How can she be too careless and even cut herself instead of killing her one but extraordinary enemy?

How can she be too naive and gullible where in fact she used to be fearless and not ignorant and weak.

She said, "I am praying for your odd destiny, Prince of nothingness! May your soul rest in peace!"

Her eyes are flaming when she thrusts her weapon into the zombie's chest. She did not stop and pressed the sword deeper for the second blow.

The undead fell into the ground with a bended knee. As the blood began to come out from its untidy mouth.

Another victory of Princess Alice.
