"I'm happy my mom isn't around to see this. I don't know what I would have done if I lost her to one of those freaks."

Trey took the brush and took a seat behind me, his right leg gently resting against my right leg and his left shin against my Butt.

"I don't know that feeling. I grew too old to be adopted and I've lived alone for years... Well, that is until you let me move in with you. But you already know that."

"Yeah, I know. He took his time using the spike brush to gently collect and detangle my hair. He then handed me the brush and took the scrunchie using it to pin up my hair into a bun. He tried his hand at putting Bobby pins to hold my stray aways and made me wince in pain.

"On second thought... You do it."

    I felt uncomfortable in my own skin for some reason and when I opened my eyes... I wasn't at the resort anymore. My attention whipped around the room, I tried to stand up but couldn't, my arms and legs were bonded behind me. The realization of where I was… hit me like a truck and my blood ran ice cold.I remember this place... This was Drake’s apartment!My heart started beating a million miles per minute. I was about to relive the worst day no week of my life.Why? Why now?The door to the apartment slammed close and I knew exactly what was going to happen. I needed to get out, but I needed to be untied first. I took a deep breath and calmed down slightly, bracing myself for what was about to happen.

  • Nightshade and Bloodlust    Licking Wounds

    I woke to a splitting headache and a dim room. Panic made my blood run cold when I noticed I was on a bed. My shoes and my jacket were gone too. I looked around to notice I was in the second room on this floor. I strained my eyes further to see the supplies in the center of the room and a few cans of food and drinks were on the nightstand. The pot of water I filled earlier today was also with the food.My eyes scanned the room and found Trey sitting with his back against the door, the wooden club within reach, and a blanket draped over his shoulders. He was sleeping seated in the fetal position. I felt an overwhelming amount of guilt sitting on my chest. I looked at my hands and noticed they were clean from the zombie blood then I reached up to feel my wound only to feel a bandage instead, I quickly stood up, walked over, and tapped Trey. He opened his eyes and stared in a daze for a moment before snapping

    When that was done, I started checking under the couch and in between the couch cushions... only finding change and a phone charger... that's when it hit me."We have power, right? and gas?""Yeah?" He obnoxiously whispered while checking the cabinets. I then turned to the TV and muted it, turning the volume down to a low hum while it took its time to flash to life. Trey heard this and came walking over."Bored of looking around?" I rolled my eyes and navigated to the News Channel. He then nodded in understanding, and we watched as the broadcast filmed an empty chair and words panning across the bottom of the screen.Stay. Indoors. Stay. Safe. God.

    The door swung open, and he seized my hand kissing it. "Are you ready for our date?" I melted a bit and smiled "I've been waiting all day for this." I winked, He laughed as he slowly walked me into the room and had me take a seat on the right side of the bed then he walked to the other side and took a seat himself shooting me a giddy smile. "I have this pocket projector from when we had a blackout at school and thought it would be a good idea to watch a funny movie." He turned on the projector and played the movie. I looked over at Trey and ended up seeing all of the electronics plugged up across the room. "Why are they charging? Are they dead?" He paused the movie and looked over at the wall. "No, not all of them, but s

  • Nightshade and Bloodlust    Rough Night

    It was only when night hit that we started to feel the cold. I pulled in the solar-powered chargers for the night and put them away making sure all of the electronics were off and put away. Trey occasionally shivered while he sat on the edge of the bed waiting for me to climb under the covers. I knew that if I asked him to move under the sheets with me before I lay down, he would deny it so I climbed under the blankets and waited a minute, he was shivering a bit so I proceeded to put my plan into motion. I pretended to shiver a few times before saying anything. "Trey, I'm cold… can I steal some of your body heat?" He blushed before getting off the bed and climbing under the sheet with me without saying another word. "I don't know how much heat I have to steal but you can definitely try… but be careful I might att

    Trey nudged me awake asking if he could have his arm back so he could finally go pee, so I lifted my head and felt him roll out of bed. For a few moments, I laid in silence and waited for him to return to the bedroom. By the time he came back I was now sitting up and rubbing the sleepiness out of my eyes but I was slowly falling back to sleep just doing that so I guess my rubbing isn't working. “Morning sleepyhead…” he chucked “… how’d you sleep?”You could hear the sleepy daze in his voice while he stretched and yawned. “I slept fine.” I yawned again, this time I was a bit less tired. I used the bathroom and returned to the room limping a bit due to my hips still hurting a bit. “Are you feeling okay?” &n

  • Nightshade and Bloodlust    In The Silence

    The remainder of my recovery days were normal and as laid back as living in an apocalypse can get. Of course, we had some scares with crashing and banging on houses in the ass crack of dawn as if all those little shits collectively decided to stampede down or up the slope with the zoomies. I don't fully understand what they do… but Treys has been watching them so he probably knows… I'm too afraid to ask and the fact that he hasn't told me yet means he either doesn't know either or I'm right and he doesn't want to worry me. Either way, it was a monotonous schedule of eating, watching some shows with Tray while charging the solar chargers, bringing the solar chargers in, shower, sleep, eat, repeat over and over until I recovered properly. But the night before the plan was to be carried out, was tense. We were both on edge and couldn't sleep but we needed

  • Nightshade and Bloodlust    Invitation

    I was on crunch time. My report was due tomorrow and I just started the project this morning after waking up and finding out that I neglected to do it for four days, because I was too busy getting Brandon’s business homework done instead of my own. Bad enough, all of my courses for becoming a doctor are extensive and work-heavy. Now I need to pull a ten-page essay on “Why cocaine is so much worse than marijuana and their effects on the human body.” out of my ass in less than ten hours. So I researched and typed as fast as lightning while listening to the low hum of the study hall. Well, that is until the peace was so rudely interrupted. "Hey Bax, you're coming to the ski Resort tonight, right?" Confused, I stopped typing my report and looked up at the blue-eyed man.

    He had his bag, my bag, and Brandon's bag full of what looked like water, snacks, and jerky, if he had anything else I couldn't see it through the open zipper. He was offering a hand to me with a panicked look on his face. I shot one last glance at Brandon and took Trey's hand pulling the zipper closed as I threw the heavy bookbag onto my back properly, and bolted out of the door that leads to the cabins. We hit someone or something on the way through the door but didn't stop to care. Halfway through our "jog", I noticed the corner of something that kept hitting me in my lower back and it was starting to hurt. "Are the textbooks... Still in here?" I was getting tired and almost slipped four times now. "I was in a rush, give me a break." I smiled and tried my best to match his stride. It didn't work.
