Luke's POV:
After the front yard had been cleared if the undead by our neighbor, we watched the streets to make sure all was clear. My brothers and I had been on lockdown at the Academy when the world decided to pretty much screw us all over.
Luckily Uncle, had been with Erica and Jessica on vacation in Greece before it all started with Silas's family. So we all knew they were safe. We had yet to hear from the others' families though and it had really started to worry us. Before the phones stopped working we were notified by a friend in the Academy, that a neighbor had Kota's dog Max and would keep him with them until the owner was found.
After 2 weeks of traveling we had made it to Kota's house, and made contact with Max's rescuer.
When the neighbor had taken down the undead in order to buy us time to fix the window, we decided to hold a family meeting where we all decided it was in our best interest to recruit said neighbor to our group. After all now that the world has turned into a deadfest there was safety in numbers and to be 100% honest we were starting to get low on ammo.
After it was decided we word ask the neighbor to join us, my brothers asked me to scale the neighbors house and get inside to make contact since I was the quietest of our group and had the climbing skills of a monkey...
Or a ninja.
Yes, definitely a ninja.
After I made my way across the street and up the building I slid through the window cursing myself internally when I was tackled to the ground releasing a grunt as max sat on top if me. "Hi max, you miss me buddy?" I whispered to the big ball of fluff as I began to sit up. Max quickly got off if me, nuzzling and licking me like we'd been gone for years.
He looked good. He looked well nourished and well taken care of and I was happy to know he hasn't been suffering while we were gone. Kota would have never forgave himself. I was broken from my thoughts as I heard the most beautiful, soft voice speak. "Look Max, we've got fresh water boy." I snapped my gaze up only to suck in a sharp breath at the girl standing on her bed on the other side of the room.
She was beautiful. Tiny, with a small frame and curves in all the right places. She had long, blonde hair and her eyes were a springtime green. Not quiet as dark as grass green and not light enough to be lime green, but they were entrancing none the less. I could feel myself getting lost in them already.Next I took in her high cheekbones, cute little button nose, and full soft looking pink lips.
I couldn't help but get lost in one now, thinking about how each of my brothers would react to her. I wonder if North will be a little less grumpy when we bring her along? Oh god, Gabe is gonna go batshit crazy when he sees her. He's not gonna leave the poor girls hair or clothes Alone for even a second.
I couldn't help but think that this girl, this beautiful little creature...yeah, now she is definitely what daydreams are made of...
Or that was until she opened her mouth. and let out the most terrifying, bloodcurdling scream. I jumped and pulled out my knife turning to the doorway ready to kill the undead because that is the only thing I know that could cause a scream like that.
I quickly made my way towards the blonde haired, green eyed beauty while searching the room. After hearing a loud thud and a plonk I turned and had to hold back a bark of laughter seeing the petite blonde now on the floor on her rear, but that laughter died down as soon as I realized those beautiful green eyes were wide with fear and zeroed in on me. Her breathing was irraticle and I knew she was having a panic attack.
Way to go Luke, scare the poor girl to death why don't you?
I walked over and reached out to her to try and calm her down when her eyes locked onto my still drawn knife and I realized my mistake as I watched her eyes roll back into her head. I dropped the knife and lunged forward barely catching her head before it smacked against the hard floor. Max barked and padded quickly to the girls side before nuzzling her limp hand and looking up at me. I could've sworn his big brown doggy eyes narrowed at me in accusation.
"What? Don't you look at me like that I didn't do anything." I defended my self as I picked the girl up bridal style and laid her on the bed. Oh great, now I'm talking to a dog.
I grabbed my daytime lazer pointer- since regular ones don't work with all the daylight- and pointed it to Kota's room before signaling out an S.O.S.
Doc, we have a problem. Come soon please.
I waited until I got my answer before opening the window and getting close to the edge and waited for Dr. Green knowing he was going to be just as shocked as I was.
Dr. Green's POV:
Doc, we have a problem. Come soon please.
I looked at my brothers noting how everybody began to tense. Kota was counting under his breath. Victor was rubbing his fingers against the pendant his mother had given him. Silas was muttering in Greek. Nathan was clenching his fists. Gabriel was running a hand through his hair and tugging at one of the blonde streaks and North looked about 5 seconds from storming over there himself. I turned to my best friend Owen as he was signaling back that I was on my way, an expressionless mask on his face as I gathered up my doctor's bag and headed for the window.
"Sean," called Owen from behind me as I slipped one leg over the windowsill. I looked back at him just as he made his way to me. "Be careful out there. Watch your front, and be quick, we've got your 6." He stated. I nodded slowly. "Will do, Owen. I'll signal you as soon as I know what's going on." I replied before glancing back at all my brothers. I gave a quick nod and hefted myself out the window before quickly scaling down the house and jogging across the street.
On the front porch was a banister and I used it to lift myself up to the roof before hearing a unhuman like groan followed by gunshots. Once I balanced myself and got to my feet on the roof I looked down noticing 3 more undead all watching me before the brains exploded from ones head and he dropped...and then there were two. I thought chuckling to myself.
I climbed the rest of the way to the window where Luke took my arm and helped my to get inside. "What's going on Luke? What's wrong?" I questioned beginning to look him over already. "No, doc, stop its not me that's hurt. Its our neighbor." He replied in amusement. I was trying to figure out what was so amusing when my eyes locked on the small form of a blonde haired beauty and my breathing hitched. I shot a look to Luke who was now smirking in my direction- no doubt he heard my reaction- and he nodded. "Yeah doc, happened to me too." He chuckled out.
Okay, sean. Time to get into Dr. Mode.
"What happened Luke?" I asked as I began to check the small girls vitals. I listened to his story and bit back a bark of laughter when he reluctantly told me-as he began to turn bright pink- about how she scared the bejeezus out if him after screaming, jumping, hitting her head, falling onto her ass off the bed and then had a panic attack. He then told me how he had tried to approach her and the mistake he had made. Just as I finished checking her for a concussion and he ended his story we heard a soft feminine groan pass from her lips.
Her eyelids fluttered open and two green orbs locked on my own before she was scrambling backwards on the bed and curling her legs into her chest while protectively covering her head with both arms her gaze darting rapidly between me and Luke.
Luke and I both sucked I a breath at the same time. We didn't need to ask...we already knew. Someone had hurt this girl. I slowly backed away from her causing her gaze to lock on to me and gave her a small smile. "Hello there little one, I'm a doctor, my name is Dr. Sean Green and this is my friend Lucian." I spoke quietly as not to spook her as I watched her eyes glance over to Luke before drifting back to me. "My friends just call me Luke." He added shooting me a look to witch I rolled my eyes and grinned before focusing back on the small girl in front if me.
God she's beautiful. This blonde haired, green-eyed beauty could have the strongest of me down on their knees just to beg for her time and here we were just smiling at her like a bunch of weirdos. Oh god, Owen is gonna flip shit when he sees this beauty. I thought with glee. Turning my full attention back to the girl in front of me I switched my brain back into Dr. Mode.
"Are you hurting anywhere pookie? You got a nasty little bump on your head there but I didn't see any signs of a concussion." I explained as I looked her over for any signs of injuries. She shook her head glancing down at her feet. I watched Luke out of the corner of my eye move towards the window and her gaze snapped up to him, eyes wide with panic and her breathing started to shallow. Panic attack. I thought.
"Luke, don't move." I quickly blurted and her gaze dropped back to me, still panicked and now hyperventilating. "Hey now, pookie. You're okay, everything's okay. Were not gonna hurt you okay. Just breathe for me. In and out sweetheart, that's it...again. In and out. Good girl." I cooed softly as her breathing began to regulate. I shot Luke a glance and he questioned with his eyes- can I met the guys know we're okay. If we don't North is going to storm over here and really give her a fright.- I held up a finger as I gestured for him to wait a minute.
"Pookie, sweetheart we have some friends across the street. Now we don't want them to storm over here before your ready but they want to meet you. Max's owner, Kota, he got your message and wanted to meet you. Is it alright if we have him come over first?" I explained as gently as possible only to receive a hesitant nod in answer. "Okay, good girl. Luke is going to go over to the window and signal him over okay?" I questioned with a smile. Another nod.
Luke slowly made his way to the window and sent out the signal.
Oh pookie, what happened to you? I thought to myself as we waited.
