Undead kiss of life

Lesley moved close and cupped the man's cheeks, his eyes glowing brighter. Like magmatic jade, they shined, beautiful and harmful.

Mama V then saw the tattoo on his neck, it was shaped like an intricate dog collar, burn red hot, till blood dripped from it like a cut. The blood trickled down until it fell into the foul liquid and released a noxious burst of miasma.

"What's happening to him?" One of the guards whispered and he wasn't talking about Lesley.

The guard in the green liquid with Lesley, had opened his mouth and his eyes began to bowel to the back of his head. His body twitched and spasmed,like a broken jack-in-the-box, but it did not move out of Lesley's hands.

Lesley's eyes grew brighter green and the darkness faded away, washed away by another power, until his pupils turned green. Slowly, he too opened his mouth and a green translucent miasma came out, reaching for the spasming man.

That's when it happened.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

"Mama!"

Voices and screams echoed across the warehouse as a thundering force broke through the walls. The screams of her people hit her like a punch in the gut.

What now?! She thought, her eyes turning brutal and her hands becoming deadly talons. More thunderous noises continued, with short intervals between.

That's it! She thought, dead or alive, I will not lose my queendom!

She took a step forward, her body getting tense and her eyes locked onto Lesley. The red headed boy ignored her, his eyes locked onto the young man in the jacuzzi with him.

"Boys, get th-ahh!"

Boom!

Mama V was silenced as the wall next to them exploded as if hit by a bullet train. An shower of debris shot into the room and they quickly covered their faces to not be scratched by flying shards of metal and wood.

"No!"

Their legs gave in and they were brought to their knees, their eyes wide open in terror.

When Lesley had spoken, it had brought a physical pressure, one that aimed to crush their body's and free their souls to damnation.

This voice was different, it felt like a beast, a primal predator with one goal. It had felt like their souls quivered just from hearing it and so their knees buckled.

The strange thing was, it wasn't Lesley who spoke.

Mama V raised her head slowly, her skin twitching and in a cold sweat. Her eyes stared at the hole that had been created in her bathing room.

A young looking male brunette stood by the hole, he wore a tattered grey shirt and torn blue jeans. Blood was smeared on his head, face and clothes like a gory artwork. His usually blank face was in a scowl and that was an unnatural sight.

Mel stood rigid, his eyes locked onto Lesley who was still bleeding from his neck and was giving him no attention. The transparent green miasma was about to enter the mouth of the man in the jacuzzi.

Mel took quick steps towards them and when he arrived, Lesley finally turned his eyes towards him. They were completely green, from pupil to iris and Mel strangley felt like this wasn't Lesley.

"Who are you?" He asked and the red head frowned.

"Vermin." He said and the humans winced, feeling like they had been scrapped by razor wires.

Mel looked at Lesley for a moment and then turned to the human in the jacuzzi.

He saw that the man was sickly pale, his eyes were white spheres and his skin looked like it was crumbling apart.

Mel stared at him and then turned to Lesley, and then the man.

With a quick punch, he shot the man out of the liquid and onto the broken down wall.

"Noo!" Lesley shouted, his eyes locked onto the human.

"Go away. Give him back." Mel said slowly and Lesley's eyes turned back to him.

The green pupils disappeared in the forgotten darkness and his iris grew darker. Lesley raised a hand and a green fire combusted on his palm. It was small and about the size of a peach.

Lesley gritted his teeth and tried to make it bigger but that turned out to be a mistake.

The tattoo or seal that Death had placed on Lesley's neck reached a breaking point.

This whole time, it had been severely wounding Lesley or rather 'the other two'. Branding his neck and making him bleed, trying to seal the power that been unleashed and it had been working... otherwise Mama V and her guards would have died long back.

Unfortunately, the two were desperate, for what? It wasn't clear but from Lesley's reaction after Mel threw the man out of the jacuzzi, it was something important.

So they'd been going throw pain that hurt like hell and managed to do minor things. This worked well, because they didn't do anything too powerful enough to draw the seal's power.

That was until the green flame appeared, which held an energy recognized by the seal. So what happened next was not surprising, atleast to 'someone'.

The necklace appeared around Lesley's throat in a bright flash of light and when it did, the green fire was extinguished instantly.

But the necklace was not done.

A bright white stream of veins spiralled into Lesley's body and the boy froze, his eyes turning back to their normal green. The light streamed downwards, until it reached his chest and then... it blew up his veins.

Multiple capillaries burst like overwhelmed water pipes and Lesley's blood flowed free. Most of the damage was in his lungs though, as the air sacks popped like grapes.

Then his lungs swelled with the red liquid.

Lesley coughed up a cup load of crimson and leaned over the jacuzzi, falling out of it the next instant.

The blood had gone into his windpipe and he was now drowning.

Or was it choking?

Either way, he was soon to go to his mother.

Mel huddled down and watched as Lesley kept gurgling out blood. His eyes were frantic and he seemed to want to say something but it was drowned out.

" Oh boy, looks like he's... in trouble." Mama V said as she walked over, but not too close.

"You help him. You help, now!" Mel growled at her, not even noticing that he had gone back to talking like before.

"I could slit a small cut on his throat and all the blood would flow out. But... only if you want." She said with a small smile and Mel was about to relent, but then a hand reached out and clutched his right wrist.

The zombie turned back to the red head who was... glaring at him?

Lesley wore an angry but pained scowl on his face, one that Mel knew well. It was one Lesley gave him when he didn't want him to do something.

But this will help, he thought and looked at Lesley in distress.

What could he do?

"Well? He's about to die. What's your answer?" Mama V said,"Just one cut and all that blood goes out of him."

Or more, she added mentally.

"Blood?" Mel asked and then he looked at Lesley's condition.

Lesley had blood dribbling from his mouth and more was in his throat. His eyes were starting to close and it was obvious his time was running out. His twitching was slowing down aswell.

It was then that Mel had an idea.

Bending down, Mel opened Lesley's mouth and then... he gave him CPR.

But technically this was not CPR. That was a technique of breathing air into someone's lungs after they ingested too much liquid but in Lesley's case, his lungs were filled with liquid. So in order to empty out his lungs, Mel did reverse CPR.

Mel sucked in the blood from Lesley's mouth, then his throat, going down into his lungs. It helped that he was a zombie and he didn't need to take breathing breaks, since he didn't breath. So Mel sucked out the blood like a vacuum cleaner, emptying over half of Lesley's lungs before stopping.

The red head was still, his body frozen and unmoving.

But he wasn't dead, his eyes were wide open and looking up at the ceiling in disbelief.

"Are you okay?" Mel asked slowly and Lesley's eyes turned to him.

"You...," Lesley spoke softly, his voice was high however.

"Yes?" Mel asked him and Lesley closed his eyes.

Then he flipped over with a side kick that would have put a bruise on anybody else but to Mel, it only had the effect of turning his head.

"You dumb, crazy corpse!" Lesley shouted, pointing at a shard of metal a few steps away," I was pointing at that! Are freaking blind!? No one said for you to k-ki... Ahhh!"

Lesley covered his face with his hands and groaned in horror, his voice sounding like he was about to cry.

Oh god, he thought, I got kissed by a monster. His taste... it's in my mouth, it's blood. The blood of someone he killed... Oh my gosh, why me!?

No, he thought stubbornly, it wasn't a kiss. He did it to save my life. Only that.

Think of it like that.

Only like that!

"Welcome back sweetboy." Mama V said softly,"I think you have something to tell me."

Fuck, Lesley thought.
