_Current location: Home_

_Seth and Theo arrived at the house of Seth, But the looks of it.. there's a lot of blood and bits of flesh near the door.

" So I guess im back early.. "

Shark jumped off the bike just to run around the grassy yard.

They stood for a bit, due to the sudden wind the scent of the rotten bits of flesh began to spread in the air...

" Rather.. It stinks! why does my house stink?! "

Theo grinned, as Seth placed his board and bag on the ground. Theo also tied his bike with a chain and a lock.

" Why'd you have to lock it? aren't we gonna leave after? "

Seth stated, looking at the bike. in doing so he noticed the blood from the wheels of his board.

" Agh.. damn.. so it wasn't a rock I hit earlier... "

" Blame your luck dude, also this is just to prevent some thieving bastards y'know.. " Theo stood up after applying the lock and wiped his sweat off..

...

" supposedly we should'a gone to school since it's friday today and theres still class but.. things really happen fast huh.. " Seth kept talking at a soft voice, hesitating to enter his own house.

Theo pointed the ground, what they saw was the smelly bits of rotten flesh.

" Hurry dude lets go in.. also we need to see if something happened to your kitchen right? you mentioned earlier " Theo stated, then he grabbed hold of the door knob to open it as they went inside.

It was a normal sight. as if nothing happened.. apart from the droplets of blood on the ground. pretty much clean like it was since the morning before Seth left.

" Hey man, BTW the news earlier told that we won't be easily infected by some bite.. they mentioned staying a way from some kinda smell.. I think... well I forgot so ehh.. "

Theo tried his best to remember what the news was about. since his phone was dead, we had no clue as to what should we do and what should we don't do.

" I'll meet up with ya later dude, first I'll head off to your room and get that charger. "

Theo dashed upstairs, leaving Seth behind. Shark on the other hand. ran off to the sofa to lie down.

As Theo went up, the room in front of Seth's room seemed like it wasn't at all empty.

Ping!*

a notif popped up out of the blue, it appeared as a somewhat see through game like screen. it was glitching a bit.

_/ 'New Task'

_ Defeat the Zombie within this room _

_ You shall be rewarded as you accomplish the task within the given time limit. _

_ Failure will result to a proper 'Punishment' _

Reward(s): ( a hidden item ) \_

" Hehh.. so life became a game now.. I wonder who's playing as me, and a reward huh.. so like a quest? "

There were footsteps inside and the door isn't locked.

" Grrr.. " seems like it's trying to scare me away or something.

" Hmm.. I guess i'm playing myself for now.. doesn't seem so bad after all. "

Theo held his metallic baseball bat tight, leaned at the wall beside the doors opening. the footsteps got louder by then, a hand slipped out of the room it was still intact with the body of the thing thats inside the room.

God I thought it saw me.. luckily Seth is downstairs, but now I guess I really need to get rid of that pest inside this room. Theo thought of a plan to get rid of the monster inside. he pulled the door slowly, hoping it won't signal the monster.

He got his bat ready and-

Bang!*

The sound of his foot that kicked the door open. it was loud of course, as it caused the monster to switch its gaze to the door.. the being ran towards him and tried to reach out but-

" Boom! Headshot! " I guess I didn't need help from Seth huh.

it was a clean hit, right in the nuzzle that sent its brain flying out.

" This guy's body looks like it's been rotting for ages even if the whole zombie invasion thing only appeared a few days ago. just what caused them to rot so fast.. "

I can handle myself, I think I'm actually good at this!

" Hoo... I didn't even have a plan, I just thought of storming in. " well all's well ends well, might as well have a taste of sweet~ Victory.

" Before that.. " Theo grabbed the dead by its hair and made a pose. he held his phone on the other hand and..

click* flash*

" Yes. haha I look good in this one. "

" I soo.. need to post it rn. "

Seems like Theo got his mood up, and thought maybe he'd take a picture with Shark next.

_/ Mission Complete \_

_ Reward(s) will be given _

Poof* a pitch black dog collar appeared and fell to the ground.

" The hell.. hm... this sucks, but I guess Shark wouldn't mind having to wear one. "

Theo didn't seem to like the reward given by the system.

As he completed his task.. he went back to look for the phone charger in Seth's room.

" Maybe I should have brought Shark here with me. "

...

...

at that moment Shark woke up and jolted up the stairs, at this point there was no need to call for the little fox.

Seth then began to head straight to the kitchen.

...

_ Current Location: The Kitchen _

...

" Mom!.. " he called out..

" huh..? "

Bang!* Crash!*

there were boxes near the table that fell.. from under the table, where his mother was hiding.

" Hmph!- "

She grabbed seth by the hand and pulled him down.. she then covered seth's mouth with her hands.

" Mmph!!- "

" Shhh!- Hush! boy. " was the result he got from calling out.

His mother began to slowly remove her fingers..

" M-mom..? "

" Welcome back, seth.. dear sorry about this but please don't move a muscle. " She kept her son close hugging him tight as her voice was trembling..

From side near the window, by the fridge there a door opened that moment.

the time it opened shocked them both for what came out was another Zombie..

they who were powerless in a situation as such, so seth tried to look for a way out of the problem. he glanced the area from below the table. there was nothing that could be of help.

until.. an memory popped up, A knife. as long as it can cut it will be useful.

but.. if he did try to get the knife, the result will make the dead notice them. and so a distraction was needed. luckily, he still had the cutter he used earlier in his pocket.

" mom.. I'm gonna try to slice it open so your gonna need to stay down here.. "

Her expression baffled at my words.

" You cant!- " Seth quickly covered his mothers mouth with his hand, for she nearly gave them out.

"Sorry, but now I'll be the one to take action. "

Seth then removed his palm.

but at that moment..

" ahh..! " his mother let out a small voice.

He felt the fear in the eyes of his mother, and her heartbeat that went even faster by the second. from under the table, he decided to revert his gaze back to where the zombie stood and..

...

Ba dum tss...

a sight to behold.
