(Jared's POV)
Sloane skid into the living room before I could make sure Celise was alright.
"FUCKING ZOMBIES! ANU DAMNIT! ISBAL GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!"
She took off running and begun ripping arms and legs off the Zombies. It was rather useless and created more of a mess, spilling thick black sludge from the things onto the carpet.
When I realized that the zombies were tearing everything apart, including my sister's hair I jumped into the fray. Even when we were busy, more zombies continued climbing through the shattered windows. While I was helping Sloane tear limbs off these things, I'd also made sure to keep an eye on Celise.
As I was in the process of tearing a head off a mummified female with a shriveled eye hanging from the socket, I saw two shambling dead crawl-run towards Celise. I quickly took care of the eyeball lady and sprung over a few bodies and body parts to tackle one of the zombies. It knocked into the second one that had almost reached Celise.
"Go, shut yourself into a closet!"
My shout woke her from her stunned paralysis and she took off running to a closet instead of a bedroom. Why would I say closet? Because with these things breaking through windows I wasn't all together sure they hadn't climbed in at another location.
Once I was sure she was shut inside the closet, I set a strong wall barrier around it.
That split second of distraction allowed one of the zombies to latch onto my arm and tear a chunk out of me. I let an angered roar out of my mouth before gripping the things jaw before snapping it. The guys jaw hung unhinged and a dried tongue was slightly moving as if to try and continue eating the piece of my flesh sitting there.
My fist punched through his skull and ripped out the dried brain. Everything about these things were dried up from whatever thing had sucked their Life essence and magic out. They were the recently killed Fire Coven members that had been at the Pack's land. The fact that they got here from clear across town didn't slip my mind. I'd also remembered that the original owners of these bodies were literally standing in our living room butt naked probably watching us tear their original bodies apart.
To say I felt awkward is a lie. Especially since their mummified nude bodies were trying to eat my sister and I at the moment.
"WHAT IN THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN THIS BITCH?! CAN'T A MOTHER FUCKER GET SOME FUCKING SLEEP?!"
Isbal was standing to my right and I watched as a zombie scurried towards him with dead eyes. It was clear that the lady was only thinking about eating him. Zombies were commonly misconstrued. They weren't eating flesh to 'survive', they were actually seeking out the magic inside of the other person's body. Isbal just happened to have a lot of magic and over half of them turned towards his small stature.
"MOTHERFUCKER! DAMNIT, SLUT! YOU'RE A LOT MORE TROUBLE THAN IF I WERE TO JUST SLEEP IN A FILTHY HUMAN'S HOUSE!"
A zombie had snuck up behind me and wrapped an arm around my throat as I was dealing with two in front of me. I could feel it pulling me towards it's mouth. Zombie's were extremely strong, even against a hybrid. Before it could tear into my throat something impacted it and we all stumbled from the force.
"Fucking damnit! Isbal, hurry the fuck up already and shut the fuck up! One of these assholes broke the TV!"
"NOT THE TV! MOTHERFUCKING CUNTRAG! I'M GOING TO IMPALE YOU FUCKERS FOR ALL OF ETERNITY BEFORE SHOVING SHIT DOWN YOUR THROAT!"
I was flabbergasted. What the hell was this guy even saying? Was there a need for the dialogue? Just help us deal with these damn things already. Of course I couldn't speak because the Zombie was still gripping my throat savagely.
Brain matter was flung against my cheek and my back as I felt Sloane pounding the Zombie behind me's head into a meat patty. Not pleasant but I was still waiting for this dumb guy to help us.
Finally magic begun to condense and I watched as shadows begun to crawl into the room. At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing but Sloane spoke up behind me. "Holy shit. You can actually use the Taint like this?"
Oh? It was the dark matter from the ShadowRealm? We both watched in stunned silence as he flung the Taint at all the Zombies. I'm not sure what I had expected but it definitely wasn't to see the black sludge climb inside the zombies open wounds and melting the body from the inside out.
"Fuck," Sloane said as she let out a frustrated grunt.
I agreed. Our entire living room was, for lack of a better word, fucked. The front windows were shattered, glass strewn everywhere with black sludge from the zombies and the worst part was the melted puddles of human coating the entire ground.
"....."
Sloane looked at me with pain in her eyes. She looked close to tears but bit her lip as if to stop herself from grieving our living room. Then she shot daggers with her eyes at the little ShadowRealm God who stood with crossed arms and a smug smile.
"I'm just so fucking awesome that you needed little 'ol me to help your pansy ass. Go ahead. Thank me. Maybe I'll accept your thanks and even return a welcome to you."
Sloane burst. Her body blurred as she rushed towards Isbal and grabbed him off the ground and bent him over her forearm. Her other hand begun spanking his tiny red butt.
"You son of a bitch! You ruined my fucking living room! Why couldn't you just turn them into fucking dust?! Why couldn't you send them outside first?! Fuck! Stupid shitty red monkey bastard!"
In between every other word she punctuated it with a smack on his ass.
A/N: It's so much fun writing these that I'm loathe to stop and begin writing actual important shit for this book. lmfao. Well I'll figure it out. :/
