iZombie ( Chapterr 7 )

     After we finished dinner Chika and Jackie did that dishes. I just sat down at the dining table, thinking.

' Why would Jackie want to be my friend, I'm not the best zombie out there.' I think

     Jackie walks up to me and pets my head, I look up to her and she's smiling. I laugh a bit and smile at her as well.

" I guess we're equal now." She says

" I guess," I answer.

" Why do yu say it like that Kotaka, your friends. Aren't you?" Chika asks

" Ya we are, let's just say we just met at the diner down the street a couple hours ago," I smirk and rub the back of my head.

" Well, we're friends now, okay Red," Jackie reply's with a smile.

     She walks to the sofa and sits down, Chika follows and sits next to her. Chika turns the TV on and puts the channel to the News Station, of course. I sit next to Jackie and watch the TV screen, the news said there was another murder tonight. As the camera came to the murder scene I saw a green vine on the dead man's arm. I was surprised because I knew who it was, that was Dyske's mark. I shook my head and thought it was a dream, but it wasn't.

" Hey Jackie, do you know who Dyske is," I ask.

" Ya I do, why?" She questioned

" That's his mark." I gesture to the vine around the man's arm

" Oh my god, your right. Your really smart Kotaka." She giggled

" Thanks." I smile and look back at the TV

     The new also said they thought it was part of the only zombie companies in the city. And, of course, that city is in South Korea. I was born here when I was little, but when I was 5 years old to 15 I lived in California. Then I moved back to Korea since I wanted to get better at the language, and I wanted to get to know my step sister better. 

     Once the news went off my step sister didn't know what to say. She was shocked and disguised that I knew the man who did that. She didn't speak to me about that ever again. Jackie told me she enjoyed herself tonight, I said she was welcome back any time she wanted. She laughed and kissed my cheek. I laughed a bit too and waved her good-bye. I see her look back at me and wink out of the blue. That night was one crazy one. I shook my head a bit and went inside to my step sister. I went to my room and got in my bed, I went to sleep right away.

Next Morning, October 14th . . . . . 

     " Kotaka, time to go to work," Chika yelled from the kitchen.

" huh, okay." I sat up in bed still waking up. 

     I put my working clothes on and walked into the dining room, Dyske was in my kitchen.

" Dyske," I questioned

" Oh hey dude, whats up." He smiled

" Um, nothing much. Are you here to walk me to work." I ask

" you can say that." He replies

     Chika was making my toast and scrambled eggs. Dyske was chewing on some toast as well. I sit next to him and takes a sip of water from his cup. He gives me a look and laughs at me, I guess he can be a nice guy. Hopefully, he doesn't show me his zombie form. Chika hands me my breakfast and I dig in, even though zombies can't eat human food. I swallow every bite of it, Dyske looks at me like I'm crazy, I smile and put my plate in the sink. I look back at him and see him right in front of me, he hands me his plate and laughs again. 

" What?" I ask

" Oh nothing, you just seem like I'm going to kill you." he smiles

" No, don't worry dude."

" Okay, and just saying I'm into guys." he winks at me and takes my hand

" Were out sis," I yell and run to catch up with him.

" Are you okay with that?" Dyske asks me

" Ya, I'm cool with that. Just don't hit on me." I point out

" Fine." He laughs still holding my hand

     We walk down the street as he swings our hands back and forth. I blush a bit as people comment on us. Why is Dyske doing this to me, he looks at me and smiles again. 

Dyske's zombie form

" Do you want to see my zombie form." He asks
" Sure, it must be cool," I reply in curiosity.

     We go down an alley and I wait. He hides in the shadows and finally walks out. I step back a bit and was scared at first at his appearance. Then I stop and let him walk towards me, I look down at my feet. He laughs in a sinister way and makes me look at him.

" I don't expect you to like me, but let me at least have some fun with you." He whispers into my ears.

     That was the first time I was truly scared.
