I see dead people. 

But hey, it’s the zombie apocalypse, everyone is seeing dead people, including a blind girl. It’s not like I am that special. 

For a while, I thought I was going to be Cinderella, complete with the cruel stepfamily and the little mice for helpers. But instead of mice, I got demons from hell with a taste for chaos.

Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little chaos in the middle of the apocalypse. It’s what makes life worth living. 

Unfortunately for others, they don’t quite see it that way. You see, I have a gift. One that isn’t exactly mine, but I can use it however I see fit. 

My gift is granting wishes. 

I'm a genie without a bottle, but it would be nice if people appreciated me more. All the humans ask for is the same thing… more food here, shelter there, kill these people, torture those. And I do it all, for a small price. 

I don’t ask for money or food, I can get that on my own. No, I want favors, souls, something that means everything for the other person. And they give it to me. Their momentary desire worth their long term happiness. 

But by the time they discover that, I’m long gone, already moved on to my next… client.

I know I look young, starvation and abuse will do that to a girl. Humans tell me that I shouldn’t be wandering out there alone. Some try to help me… most don’t. But whoever said I was by myself? Just because others couldn’t see them didn’t mean my demons ever left. I still hear their voices in my head, whispering words of encouragement and love. For them, I’d do anything. Kill anyone. Destroy anything. 

After all, life is just a game, right? Those still alive at the end of the day were the lucky ones. Those who died were not. Everything is just a game of chance, all a human has to do is roll the dice.

My only word of advice is to be careful what you wish for… you just might get it.

My name is Hattie, welcome to my world. 

Would you like a cup of tea?

Be Careful What You Wish For: A Zombie Apocalypse

Even though I had calmed down significantly with the guys around, the house apparently disagreed. We were locked in my room until the sun rose the next morning, waking us all up.

"Too fucking early," hissed Sloth as he buried his head even deeper into the crook of my neck. "Someone hit something."

His ridiculous demand made me giggle as the others around us shifted around, clearly no more interested in getting up than Sloth was. Looking around my bed at the seven demons and hellhound, I felt safe and content.

Whoever had created the illusion, whether he was my Père or not, wasn't dealing with a terrified child who had been alone all her life. I now had people who cared about me around me, and that was enough.

"Do you want some breakfast?" murmured a deep voice off to my side. Turning my head, I saw Chang Xuefeng still leaning against the door, his weapon within arm's reach even now.
