BANG!
The sound of gunshots shattered the quiet night as it echoed across the luxurious villa area , this was enough to awaken the very things everyone was trying to hide from.
Zombies.
Roars followed right after the shot as they dominated the night air. Numerous footsteps stomping on the broken tarmac heading in one direction.
In the very villa area, at the location where the gun sound had come from, two people stood outside the three-story villa.
One large looking down at a smaller bent figure.
"Why?"
The bent girl asked as she held onto the gunshot wound on her stomach with one hand while the other tried to hold onto the knife wound on her right eye.
She didn't feel any pain in her eye but her stomach wound was biting into her soul slowly.
Blood flowed between her fingers soaking the red dress she was wearing.
She wasn't sure if it was serious or not but the scent of blood was already starting to spread.
"We need bait, there are too many zombies in this area."
The man holding the gun said as he waved it around. The girl, Cora, looked up at the second floor of the villa she had been staying at since childhood.
A face almost similar to hers looked down on her, the smirk destroying the beauty it held.
"This is so ridiculous, you decided to kill me for that whore?"
She angrily said, the pain in her stomach increasing with the shouting.
"She is more talented she has healing powers while you have nothing."
The man said and raised the gun aiming at her again.
"You're all going to regret this."
It wasn't her fault she didn't awaken like the others, just because she didn't have the so-called superpower they deemed her useless.
'I'll kill them all, skin them alive and burn them, no maybe feed them little by little to the zombies '
She looked at her stepsister, an illegitimate child, clicked, and turned around running out of the gate.
She didn't know where she was going but she would survive and kill them all with her bare hands.
"Please, just please god give a way."
Cora shouted painfully as she ran, her feet pounding painfully on the cold ground.
Behind her, she could hear the zombies approaching there footsteps getting faster and faster while hers got slower.
She was losing too much blood from the wound. The only thing that kept her going was the little adrenaline she had left.
She turned to glance back at her undead pursuers only to come face to face with an open mouth.
That startled her.
She stumbled and fell scrapping her knees against the rough tarmacked road.
She got up despite her body protesting and run but she was a second slow.
The zombie caught the back of her dress.
Lucky for her, the zombie was still stiff and getting used to moving.
The buttons at the front of the red dress popped open and she let her hands fall back sliding out of the dress.
"Please..please... I'm..begging you...just a sign then.."
She mumbled as tears streamed down her cheeks. She could feel her body losing strength. The dress had given her enough time to gain distance since it still had her blood on it but not all of them had been fooled.
She knew over fifty zombies were running after her.
Right now, she was running half naked in only her bra and panting while avoiding the zombies that would occasionally jump out.
"Light!"
She almost shouted out loud when she saw the small light at the end of the rows of the luxurious villa.
Her mind having found and anchore shot out in speed and ran towards the light, the roars of zombies increasing as more from the nearby villas and other gated communities joined.
Cora pushed open the massive doors and closed them behind her hurriedly. She didn't even have the time to look at her surroundings.
Her body slid down the door as her blood began to pool under her.
She knew she was on the verge of dying.
Tears started to drip down her cheeks as a soft sob escaped her before more followed.
"I had really tried... You tried Cora but it seems you're never going to get your revenge. "
She whispered to herself while trying to prevent herself from losing more blood.
"What do we have here, i never expected someone would visit my church this early."
A cold but oddly soothing voice broke through her self-pity. She looked up through her blurry vision to see a man or what looked like a man looking down at her.
"Please, save me."
She held onto the straw that was extended to her. She didn't care who it was as long as she came out alive.
"What will you give me if I do?"
The man knelt before her looking at her tear striken face.
'Beautiful '
That was the only thing that passed through his mind. She was absolutely mesmerising.
"Anything..... just don't let me die."
Her broken voice begged. One of her bloodied hands reached out to him trying to hold onto him.
He held her wrist and placed her hand on his cheek. One drop of blood slowly ran down the side of his mouth, then his chin before it dripped down on the pristine white priest collar.
"You'll give me anything?"
He asked again for further reassurance. She nodded then flinched as the wound pulled.
"I'll be taking your body then."
She nodded.
In her most desperate moment, she had unknowingly given up her life.
In front of the strange priest just after Cora had nodded, a strange blue screen appeared.

The man chuckled softly at the reward.
"Finally, I thought I was going to have to drag a zombie in here passing by in here."
He mumbled to himself.
A white light spread from the man's hand and fully enveloped the bleeding Cora.
Healing powers.
One of the two powers the system had given him as a welcoming gift when he transmigrated into this dead world.
The bullet slid out of the wound as though something was pushing it out.
The man caught it before it fell and watched in fascination as the wound started to close itself until only smooth skin remained.
"I think I like this new power."
He mumbled softly. He picked up the now unconscious woman and walked deeper into the large cathedral.
His only sanctuary in this new world.
