Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

Chapter 62: 62

“I was born inside a prison. I was taken care of inside the prison walls until my mother died inside. I was then sent to a next of kin somewhere in Russia when I was very young. I was at a very young age when I discovered that life was truly unfair. My relative sold me to different men for… pleasure. I never had an idea what was going on until it happened. At first, I refused to do it. They beat me up at first and they would not feed me until I obliged. Feeling the hunger in my stomach, I just shut down and let them ravage me.” she said as she took a gulp from my bottle.

“The abuse happened for a few years until I decided for everything to stop. One night, after my deed was done, I grabbed his pistol when he was sleeping. I pointed it at his head and I pulled the trigger. The whole neighborhood got awake and I got sent to prison.” she said.

“Wait, they would have sent you to a center for minors first yeah?” I asked.

“That was supposed to be the case but it was a different case for me. There was little to no investigation and they just thought that I was a petite p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e that killed her employer since I was taller than most people. Even my relatives denied that I was related to them. I was put to jail as an a.d.u.l.t for murder. I was so mad at everyone for treating me like this. The inmates there discovered my real age and they gave me my first tattoo, the rose with a dagger on the back. Just a few days after, the police who arrested me came to visit and he had the gall to say that I’m a lying cunt when I said that I was being abused. I leapt towards him and smashed his head against the table. A few correctional officers handled me and I got sent in isolation for a time.”

“After leaving isolation, they gave me my second tattoo, the skull baring its fangs. You’re right in what it means and the ones who inked it said I should have that one. I was supposed to be rotting in hell right now but I was saved. A college student studying law was making a dissertation and she found me while doing her research. I don’t know the exact details but she managed to convince the court to free me after 5 years.”

“5 years? That’s still a lot of time.” I said.

“I was grateful for it. I really thought that I was gonna stay in prison for the rest of my life blaming everything.” she said.

“What happened to the girl who saved you though?” I asked.

“Oh, we just met for a few more times after I got free but she’s already married to someone. I just decided to myself that she’s the only one I would have feelings for.” she said solemnly.

“Immediately after leaving prison, I asked for her help so I could join the military. That country would need more competent people to serve it if it means to be one. Well, that’s my story of the tattoos, I’m free of the wager now, correct?” she said.

“Of course, thanks for telling it.” I said.

“Thanks for listening, telling it to someone makes me feel really… light.” she said.

“It really does.” I nodded.

“Sky, you won’t really consider letting me f.u.c.k you, correct?” she said straightforwardly.

“Ack-, please stop with that. I already have someone. I thought you were with Rin though?” I said as I almost choked.

“Well, yes. She’s still haven’t you know… done it yet. We just kissed for a while and some light touching when you left earlier. Remember the offer is always on the table, you could tell me to do ‘anything’.” she explained while I notice that she has finished the bottle and her cheeks are a little red.

“Please spare me the details yeah? It’s hot hearing it, but I still feel uncomfortable hearing it.” I said.

“Very well, I’ll just tell you the details if you ask me, correct?” she said nonchalantly.

“Sure, that’s good.” I said helplessly.

“Does a weird sense of humor really come from people like us who have suffered something before? Well, I just do it as a coping mechanism, her case is a lot more different than mine. Bah! I’m not a shrink, I’m not equipped to ponder about this stuff!” I said to myself.

Kaley was wobbling for a bit when I saw her carrying a few plates so we helped her take it to the catwalk. She’s looking tipsy now though she could still be spoken to. A few zombies were at the gate so I just went down and killed them with my blade. I just pulled myself up with the rope and I sat at my usual spot at the wall. The small celebration comes to a close, no one got piss drunk since I’ve only allowed a few bottles of hard liquor to be brought out. A few of them are red in the face though. I asked few of the guys who were not drunk to drive Andrew’s and Arthur’s family back to their homes. Everyone cleared up and a few people who were still able to keep watch was on the schedule. I was on the 12:00 MN Schedule while Tatiana was in the 3:00 AM one. A few people like Alex, Esther and Jonathan volunteered to keep watch as well since they didn’t partake in the drinking.

I guided Kaley up the stairs and I saw the girls gathering to my room for the movie. I saw Tatiana waiting for this too since I told her where I learned the trick when we were assembling the guns earlier. I played a movie by J. Chan; the title was the ‘The New P. Story’ It was an action and a dramatic movie. A few of them cried at the opening scene and when Tatiana saw the trick at the last part, she shook her head in disbelief.

“You got that from a movie?!” she exclaimed.

“Well I beat you, didn’t I?” I said.

She was still in disbelief after she replayed that scene a couple of times. I was laughing my ass off while she does it and she nods her head a few times before heading back.

Kaley was already asleep so I turned the TV off after and I tucked her in while the rest leaves for their rooms. I turned the lights off and set an alarm for my watch in the catwalk. She was deeply in sleep so I just gave her a hug and I slept beside her.

My alarm went off and I got ready. Kaley was still asleep and I just headed down to switch with the other guys. Nicole, Esther and Alicia were watching the catwalk. I went up to them and I saw Jonathan walking alone towards us while I heard a door opening from behind me and saw Chris walking out. We greeted each other and we continued our watch. A few small talks along with deep ones lingered in the air and the steam of coffee is the only thing you’d see. There’s no more light in the right side of our place though there are a few isolated ones on the left side onwards. The DDR camp is still alive and running and you could see the occasional helicopter flying.

Now that our watch has ended, the following guys made their way into our place and we switched. I just laid myself on the bed and continued to sleep when I went upstairs.

I woke up curled to the side while Kaley is hugging me from behind. I slowly removed myself from her then I felt a grab and a pull.

Day 6

“Morning.” she said.

“Hey, I thought you were asleep.” I said.

“No, I’ve been awake for a while. I’m just watching you sleep soundly.” she said.

“You’re weird. Ahaha…” I chuckled while I hugged her back.

“Compared to you?” she rebutted.

“Well, you got me there.” I said.

“Wanna do something quick before we go down?” she looked at me with her eyebrows raised.

She’s already holding me with her hands and she’s leaning over me.

“Do I have a choice?” I said sarcastically.

“Well, no.” she giggled as we did a quick round.

We then headed down afterwards and I saw the rest of the group a bit hangover from yesterday’s small celebration.

My aunt just made a simple breakfast for today. Just scrambled eggs with pancakes and a few sausages with coffee. We ate while making conversation with each other and the families from the other houses joined us for breakfast while they brought some of their food.

“What’s the plan today kid?” Oscar said.
