_ Current location: The Tree _

_ The Tree, a place located on the next road. a bit far from school, rather just above a hill. it was an abandoned area sorrounded by grass and debris from the broken buildings. _

The wind blew.. the air had the scent of blood.

There were no zombies around the place where we met up on. since it's a place thats hard to enter. with all the former electric fences all over the place.

...

" So your saying.. some kind of Zombies appeared outta nowhere? "

After listening to Theo, it still left Seth rather.. confused from the shock of how 'Real' his words are now, He would have thought as if he was only joking around like he always would but..

" C'mere for a sec. I'll show ya I ain't making all this up. "

Theo grabbed Seth by the hand and pointed to the view below the hill was near the back walls of the school. Seth couldn't really see as far as Theo but He can guess what was happening.

Theo stepped back, and went back to petting the small animal he found..?

...

...

...

... As Seth continued to look down..

Seeing the whole, 'New World'.. Theo wanted to show him.

"...Disgusting" He mumbled.. as he spat out the candy he just ate. his face had a disgusted look of course.

A whole new world, indeed..

What He saw. Was No longer the word.. 'Normal'

The students were in a panic, running, crying, everything. but I didn't care about those small bits of info from this view.. He was more immersed into the whole 'Zombies' The fact that they don't even look human.

" so uh the whole Zombie stuff.. aren't zombies from living humans to them becoming dead but.. those are way different.? " He asked Theo hoping he'd answer.

" The news earlier did mention Zombies but.. different. "

T'was his reply.

Seth glanced back at the tree, there was a Baseball Bat, a metallic one at that. and it was dripping in blood. It looks like Theo used it earlier for defence.

" so.. like... ya into beating the life outta the livin dead now? "

Seth hesitated as he spoke.. * maybe it's just the current event thats bothering me and stopping me from making a proper joke.. *

" Maybe, but.. uh.. Oh! right! I mentioned wanting to show you something.. Good! " Seems like Theo got his smile back.

" Alright, If your done looking. c'mere I just found a fuzzy lil beast. "

He seemed happy, at the other side of the tree waving at Seth.. I took a few steps closer to the tree and.. oh? there was a hole under it.

" what beast? " * I asked, and took a peek at what was inside.. to my curiousity.. I saw a fluffy tail.. at that moment it pulled it's tail back in the hole. *

" judging from the color.. that is a fox..? " Theo moved his gaze to me as I did and looked at him.

" Fox? what fox.. why not take it with us! " Theo kept smiling as he spoke.

" Lets call it.. Shark "

* Me and my poor naming, but who cares.. *

Shark was wagging his tail.

* Mom won't be happy with a fox in the house.. but our dog died a year ago so theres a space for a new pet.

but really hah..

He grinned, as he told me.. since this idiot plans to bring a fox home.. *

...

...

...

...

wait..

" Home...? Thats it! "

...

Theo tilted his head and began to stare at Seth.

" What home? " He spoke while having a confused gaze.

" Dude I mean.. My home! "

" I gotta go back now! I think something unusual happened this morning in the kitchen! "

Seth's face dripped in sweat..

* my mind was full of bad thoughts, what if something bad really happened??

I grabbed my skateboard, and rode it. as I did I look back to wave goodbye to Theo. *

" I guess.. I gotta go back.. "

" Don't follow me unless your going with me. "

* He just stood there. looked back to the hole under the tree.. and ehh..! He grabbed the fox. and ran towards his bike. placed it in the box at the front of his bike. the fox didn't panic whatsoever, it was calm more like it just sat there. *

after the fox, he grabbed the bleeding metallic baseball bat and carried it with him.

" Dude, your sick! keep up the good work. ya dummy! "

* I laughed a bit. *

...

* still standing on top of my board. I took back my glance to the front and what I saw earlier had already came to the streets as well. Those so called 'Zombies' were running amok. killing every living breathing being in sight.. I actually compared this sight to the movie I watched last night. it was also about Zombies. *

arf* arf*

_The sound of the fox barking and a bike speeding up to catch up to him, it was his friend Theo.

" Hey! what gives! you just ran off and left me there dude! " Theo and his fox sure caught up fast..

* I didn't pay attention to them since I was looking at my front, one little mistake and I might also be caught by those bloodthirsty Zombies. *

" Aw.. come on man, cut me some slack. I just need to check if my mom is ok. "

* I wanted to joke around like I always do but.. eh.. nevermind that...

I looked to the left and to my sight, an old man got bit. I wonder if that old fella will be a zombie too..?

Gosh thats sick.. just look at that... like what the hell..

that zombie dude ain't eating the poor old man instead hes just pulling him limb from limb, I mean from the movies they would bite them and then they turn into zombies too right?? *

...

...

...

He'd need his brain if he plans to survive in a place like this..

Theo on the other hand, was just well.. playing with shark while riding his bike close to him.

* but first I need to check on my mother and help her if ever. *

Thud!

* my board ran over a rock* on the road.. *

_A rock was what Seth had thought..but it wasn't a rock.. It was a freshly ripped arm on the road.

" Ey.. forgot to show ya somethin Seth! " Theo lifted a palm of his hand and..

" Status!- " he said at a loud voice.

" Dude are you trying to be funny or what?- "

but at that moment.. A status screen like those in games really did appear in front of Theo and Shark.

_/ Status:

Name: Theo Robin (17)

Current condition: Tired \_

I couldn't see the rest.. it was all in a scrambled form of writing.. but I was shocked to the sight of something new as this!

" How is that even possible? " I spoke as soon as I saw the glitching screen.

" Later you should really check the news! I'll go to your house with you and borrow a charger so I can show you in my phone, bro " Theo stated with a smile as the screen dissolved in thin air.

...

...

...

* I smiled back to him. with one goal in mind, thats heading home.

I got close to home. but the looks of it.. the gate was open.. the door had bloody hand prints...

I might be too late...

Now the moment has come..

Guess I'll call out to who's still inside, maybe I should really check the kitchen. to see if everything is still alright.

I got down my board, Theo too got off his bike. here we stand at the door. *

"I'm Home."
