zombies horde

Zosia's eyes locked on the horde of zombies, her eyes scanned the remains of what used to be a city. The rancid smell of rotten flesh and an unknown slimy liquid made her nose scrunch up in disgust

Even with the mangled bodies scattered under her feet

Her eyes were as calm as still waters, however she knew she couldn't let her guard down against this monstrous creatures. Her injuries throbbed painfully, her body ached screaming for respite

Yet her resolve stood firm as she locked eyes with the leading zombie

"Roar" the zombie howled in a fenzy at the delicious delicacy in front of them

Her!

However with their leader still watching the little human, they could only temporarily put away their hunger and watch. Their kind had fallen under her blade with their bodies scattered all over, creating a grosteque painting, the stench in the air hung heavy

The leader gave a maniacal laughter with his eyes still locked on Zosia with heavy killing intent, her hands trembled lightly yet her eyes locked on the zombie leader with overpowering murderous intent

She knew it's thoughts

They could have attacked her, however over a hundred zombies had been slain by her, and that was enough to make them thread carefully even with their advantage in numbers

"Grrrh! Goh! Grrruh!" A zombie lunged forward and several others followed aiming for her head and neck, her body screamed in fatigue

Her limbs numb and sore limited her movements significantly

Yet she moved without backing down, narrowly escaping the joint attack

The eerily red moonlight cast a soft glow on her battered form, creating an eerie picture

The zombie leader seeing this smiled sinisterly as it joined the attack, swinging needle blades which Zosia narrowly dodged whilst panting

Perspiration trickled down her cheeks, grinding her teeth she condensed her energy into her sword and swung it horizontally and vertically, tearing apart over 50 zombies at a time

The leader seeeing her distracted sent a palm strike which sent her flying, imbedding her body into a rock wall. Blood trickled down her cheeks at impact, she could also feel her bones breaking

The zombie leader was strong

Stronger than anything she had ever been in battle with,

"Gruuuuh! Goh!!!! Ggruwh!" The zombie leader roared bitting at the nearest zombie, he tore it apart and swallowed it's crystal core

Feeling a bust of energy in it's black veins, it moved to the other zombies continuing it's fenzied attacks and swallowing all the crystal cores till it achieved a breakthrough

Zosia's eyes dimmed as she slowly pried herself out of the rock wall through gritted teeth

Her body was at its limits

At this rate she'd be killed without knowing how she died

She sighed as she downed several vials of healing medicines, glancing over at the back view of the zombie she could feel a surge of dark energy radiating around it as it devoured the crystal cores from its companions

She gritted her teeth as she slowly sneaked away from it, in a bid to find a safe space to hide

In her current physical condition, going head on with the zombie leader was as as good as a death sentence

Her body hadn't rested for several days as she had continuously been on the move fighting for her life. Alas finding a hole she crawled into it gasping for air softly as she begun to smear her body with the rancid zombie blood and earth which made her almost vomit due to the terrible stench

However this was the only way she knew to hide her human scent at least till she was able to get her strength back

Once done she sat crossed legged and begun cultivating the dark energy in the air, which was sucked into her veins greedily

Damn she was exhausted

The rotten smell in the air almost made her gag several times but she held herself

"Gruuuuuuh! Grurrrrrrruwh" the zombie leader roared seeing Zosia wasn't in its sight. It sniffed the air for her scent or anything and begun thrashing around seeing as there was nothing

The remaining zombies backed farther away in fear of them becoming like the others, a source of the leaders breakthrough

Yet they knew they couldn't fight it

It was just too strong

Several vines shut out from the zombies body searching frantic all around the perimeter for it's prey, it's earlier excitement had morphed into anger

It's powers went haywire knocking over rocks, boulders anything in sight as it searched frantically for the human

"Gruhhh! Guh! Gruhhhhh" it barked commands to the other zombies and they moved to get the task done

Finding the human!

Zosia's hands clenched by her sides as she greedily surged in the dark energy in the air, her whole body ached

She could feel bile rushing up her throat with a wave of nausea and dizziness, her consciousness search her spacial pocket for anything, if not everything that could aide her in a fight

Knowing all too well, she couldn't stay hidden forever, sooner or later she'd be found

Yet she hoped she wouldn't

Having not rested since Riezekiel's disappearance, her body was nearing its limits

They were just strangers bound by the weight off circumstances, yet now they were husband and wife. The whole situation was bizarre, yet it was her reality

And damn she wanted him back

She had no idea why she wanted him back

But the warmth of having someone she could call family, she desperately wanted to hold onto that

"Zurrrrrh! Gurrrrrh" the zombie leader roared

even more, it's muscles bulged as it's murderous aura filled the area

The mutant beast in the area, scrambled far away at the oppressive aura, Zosia on the other hand coughed a mouthful of blood

The zombies had indeed advanced however their origins were unknown. As according to the elders the wave of zombie outbreak which led to the apocalypse had already been wiped out. Yet here she was barely holding onto her life against a horde of strategic zombies

The leader alas grunted, raising its head, it sniffed the air whilst making gruttal sounds, the surrounding zombies responded making gruttal sounds and roars in return

The exchange was horrifying and bone chilling, like a terrible nightmare
