What She Told Us To Do

The scouts parted to let their Alpha through, and I watched as the light blue zombie approached me. His head was tilting back and forth as he stared at me. Opening his mouth slightly, he showed me his bloody teeth with chunks of flesh caught between them before closing his mouth again.

I bared my teeth. I knew that they were nowhere as impressive as his, but combined with my purple flame, I think he got the point.

"What want?" he hissed at me, his voice scratchy from lack of use.

"To feed you," I replied with a toothy smile on my face. "I know where you can find all the dumb meat you want," I continued, remembering what the zombie king had called humans.

"What catch?" asked the zombie, his eyes narrowing on me as he swayed back and forth in a hypnotic manner.

"No catch," I assured him. "You leave this city and follow the roads, eating whatever you happen to come across."
