Dangerous Fellows
One
Jay
Come on! you need to hurry!
The size of zombies chasing us grew in size at a rapid rate. I wished they were slower, with that speed no one could tell they were undead.
Emilia
I swear, please just...!!
A firmly closed gate catches her eye, she rushes over to push it open but it won't budge.
One of the guys looks frustrated as he comes to help push the gate open.
Armin
Damn... i told you we shouldn't have gotten involved.
One zombie faster than the rest was closing in with it's arms reaching out.
With a heavy falling noise the zombie collapsed.
Without hesitation one of the guys started pounding the zombie with his baseball bat blood splashing everywhere.
Emilia rushes over to the gate and throws her body at it.
The gate flung open both the guy and her fall to the ground and roll over.
The other guys barely made it in as well.
Ray
Ethan, stop what you're doing. Come on!
After everyone was in they promptly closed the gate and locked it.
Jay
Oh, shit! that was close!
The zombies banging on the metal bars of the gate.
Emilia
How about you? Are you hurt?
Edward
I'm fine. Did you get hurt?
Edward
I'm glad to see you weren't harmed .
Jay
Yo, stop being so lame and let's go inside!
Jay
Everyone already went in.
One guy wagged his finger with a frown on his face.
Emilia follows the guys inside the somehow familiar school.
My name...
Armin
So why the heck did we even help her?
Armin
You almost got us killed, damn it!
Ray
Anyone would've done the same in that situation.
Armin
This is so annoying!
Jay
Are you ever not annoyed...?
Jay
Just be quiet man, I'm tired.
He puts his hand out with a kind smile.
With his smile his soft gaze became even prettier.
Edward
Emilia... wow! that's such a beautiful name.
The other guys come over.
Ray
What are you two doing here?
Edward
Just getting acquainted. Since i feel like we're gonna stay together here for a while.
Armin
Knowing people's names ain't gonna keep you alive, you know.
Edward
It's kinda nice we all met.
Ray
You look like you're a high schooler. Am i right?
Ray
Everyone here except for that guy over there, is 18
Emilia
Oh really? i felt like we were about the same age.
She turns her head spotting the guy from earlier swinging his baseball bat.
He puts his bat down and looks at her.
Ray
Why don't you tell our new friend your name?
Emilia
Nice to meet you, Ethan. Thanks for saving me back there.
Jay
Don't cause any trouble, like earlier.
Ray
Hey, Armin. You're not gonna introduce yourself?
Armin
....Man, i don't feel like it.
Armin
This is so pointless.
Memories
Emilia
I just want to get along.
Armin
Wow, how pointless and pathetic!
Armin
Even if we did get along....
Armin
Don't overstay your welcome here though.
After saying those harsh words Armin walked away.
Ray
Haha, just shrug it off. Armin's got a rough tongue.
Ray
I'll apologize on his behalf. Why don't you come inside?
Emilia
You don't need to apologize.
The world wasn't exactly a nice place either.
They go into the classroom.
Edward
I noticed you seemed quite uncomfortable around the others.
Edward
Have you been on your own all this time?
Emilia
....Oh. Umm, yeah....
Edward
I see . Must have been tough
That reminded her about all the people from her previous life Mom, Dad and all her friends.
Emilia
Ah.... No, I'm just...
She bursts out crying and her entire face is covered with tears. She wipes the tears with her sleeve.
Jay
Come on! Don't you think it's too much?
Jay
She's not the only one having a hard time.
Jay
You don't think this is hard on us?
Jay
No one here is without problems, man.
Ray
Who says we are? Just stop.
The room turned quiet after everyone heard Jay yelling.
Someone started to pat her on the shoulder.
Edward
It's all right ....Its all good....
Edward
Don't bottle it up. It's not good for you. Cry it off.
Jay
Yeah,yeah i get it I'm the asshole who can't sympathize with people.
Jay
Well this asshole's gonna hit the bed.
Barely able to stop crying she wipes her tears off her face.
Emilia
It's just.... I suddenly remembered everyone i used to know.
Edward
I'm sure they are all fine.
Edward
You'll definitely see them all again.
Emilia
How about you guys...? Don't you have anyone you miss?
Ray
But.... I don't think about them much anymore
Ray
It's more important to focus on staying alive.
Emilia
How about you Ethan?
She leans against the wall and thud! the front door opens with a loud bang.
