Number 1 Champion 1/2

Axel opened the front door and looked at her. "Welcome to our house!" He smiled and went up the stairs, the houses didn't look like the ones in the city… or anywhere else in fact, it didn't look like walkers took over it at all.

Alice looked around, seeing pictures around the house, especially when you walk up the stairs there were sets of pictures on the wall.

One picture peaked her interest in the photos, she went over and glanced at a photo. There was Axel, Daniel, John and two others. One was a girl with dirty blonde hair and green eyes, she was wearing a t shirt and sweatpants, the other was a boy that looked like Alice's age. He had blue eyes and short curly hair, he wore an oversized shirt and pants.

They were all happy, Alice looked at Axel with a curious look on her face. "Who are these two?" Alice smiled, Axel was midway up the stairs till he paused. "Can we not talk about it here?" He turned to look at Alice.

Alice nodded and followed Axel, he opened the door. "Here's my room!" He smiled, there were action figures stacked on one of those shelves that you put on the wall.

Alice looked around. "Cool!" She smiled, her smile soon disappeared though. She was worried about Amelia. Axel nodded the sudden mood change, he titled his head. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm just worried about my friend. That's all." She frowned and sat down, Axel sat down. "I'll tell you what happened to the two of them." He sighed, Alice looked at him and nodded.

"The girl was named Jackie and the boy was named Arlo." Axel spoke.

Arlo looked at Axel. "When are we heading back home?" He asked. The 3 disobeyed John's rules and snuck out at night. Jackie licked a stale lollipop, the lollipop didn't taste that good but she dealt with it anyways.

"I saw light in the forest. I wanted to go alone but you two wanted to tag along." He sighed. "I want to go on adventures like you brother!" Arlo complained.

Axel looked at Arlo and smiled. "This is your first adventure then!" He smiled, Axel tail wagged. Despite being a demi they have all treated him like one of them.

Jackie looked at Arlo and Axel. "I'm bored." She spoke. "We're almost there… I think." Axel spoke. "You think?" She sighed and finished her lollipop. "If we ever caught you know that dad will punish us for breaking the rules." Jackie spoke.

Axel nodded. "Yeah, I know." He had his gun out as they reached a campsite, there were people with makeup on and they were dancing.

Axel hid behind a bush and looked at them. "What the…" he watched, Arlo and Jackie looked at each other, they also got weird vibes here. Something wasn't right.

Axel turned around and his eyes widened, two men had Jackie and Arlo in their grasp. "NO-" Axel tried to finish his sentence but he was knocked out with the butt of their gun.

He woke up, it was now daytime. His eyes hurt due to the light. Axel definitely had a concussion. Dried up blood covered the left side of his temple. Yeah, he definitely had a concussion; who wouldn't after getting their head bonked with a gun.

That wasn't the only thing he noticed, he was in a cage. He couldn't see Arlo or Jackie anywhere. "JACKIE? ARLOO?" He screamed with all his might.

He heard footsteps. "Jackie, Arlo is that you?!" He looked around, it was not them.

A guy wearing a tophat and a fancy brown suit stood there, he had blue hair and blue eyes. He was dressed 10 times more differently than the people that they saw.

"Hello, demi. I see you haven't been branded yet. So you are a new one, not an escapee." He snickered and spun around. "Fabulous!" He looked at Axel, he had a crazed expression on his face.

"What is your name?" He glared at him. "I am Casimir! The leader of this fine establishment!" He spoke with enthusiasm, Axel didn't like the scenario they were in.

"Where's my family?!" Axel screamed and Casimir got close and looked at him. "I don't know!" He laughed.

He knew he won't be getting out of this, he doesn't even have his abilities yet. For a 14 year old it was extremely rare that he hasn't unlocked his inner beast yet.

"You will have your first challenge soon! Eat up!" He spoke before handing him a plate, the plate had bacon and eggs on it.

Axel looked at Casimir and then at the plate, he took a bite and quickly finished it. He needed to survive in order to find his family and help them.

Casimir smiled. "I'll get you in around 10 minutes." He turned around and walked off.

Axel looked around, there was another cage next to him which had a demi, she was a deer demi. "What's the first challenge?" He looked at her and she flinched. "I don't know." She spoke and hugged her knees.

"What's your name?" Axel asked, examining her. "Hazel." She spoke and looked at Axel, noticing he was a fox demi she looked down again, her heart pounding

"Well Hazel, we will escape. I promise!" He smiled, Hazel looked at him. Her eyes wide, she calmed down and nodded, a smile forming on her face.

The 10 minutes had passed and Casimir opened the cage Axel was in, while another opened the cage Hazel was in.

Casimir put a potato sack on his head and so did Hazel. They led us into a type of building, it had a rotten moldy smell, mixed with bodies.

Casimir took the potato sacks off and the lights came on, surprisingly there was power, likely due to fuel based power.

Axel didn't like the looks of it, there were walkers in a circle, they were chained though.

Casimir grabbed Axel and went over to the circle, Hazel walked down with the guy who grabbed her.

"Since she is a deer demi she will have a weapon of choice!" Casimir announced and a crowd cheered.

Hazel picked up a machete, Axel's eyes widened. Realizing they were going to fight. There were new walkers though.

Axel's ears rang, he knew them. They were Arlo and Jackie. Those beasts killed them and waited till they turned.

Casimir didn't even countdown, Hazel swung it and the blade met with Axel's arm, cutting it a bit. Axel winced and backed up.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, today's fight will be The Fox versus Number 1 Champion, Hazel!" Casimir grinned and looked over. "I see it has started!"

Hazel clenched the blade, the expression made it seem like she enjoyed it. She definitely did.

Axel's eyes widened as he began to focus. Hazel enjoyed fighting, now he knew he had to fight for his life.

He stared at Hazel, she ran towards Axel. Before he had time to process she shoved him towards the walkers, specifically Jackie and Arlo.

"This is the end." He thought to himself.
