(The next day)

When Rina woke up feeling very well rested after the day she had. She then looked at little Lucy who was still fast asleep cuddling her teddy bear. She smiled and pat Lucy on the head then looked to Beth to see if she was still there. However she was shocked to see a little boy sleeping peacefully right next to her.

"What the hell?! Who is this kid and where did Beth find him?" Rina asked out loud.

Boy then woke up as he heard Rina's voice and started looking around for her.

"Hello? Sis are you there?" Boy asked.

"Um Sis? Who are you referring to, and um who are you?" Rina asked, confused.

"B-Beth is that you?" Boy asked nervously as he made his way to Rina with his arms out.

When Boy felt Rina he thought that it was Beth as he only had light and Dark vision perception.

"Um Kid Beth is still on the bed there. I'm Rina and how come you can't tell where she is?" Rina asked, confused.

"Huh? Oh sorry I'm blind so I couldn't tell." Boy explained.

"Oh well I can help you find Beth then." Rina explained and took Boy's hand and led him to Beth.

When Boy felt Beth he immediately hugged her which startled her awake. When Beth saw Boy she smiled and hugged him, he smiled back and hugged her back.

"Hey Boy, how did you sleep last night?" Beth asked.

"I slept well last night." Boy said.

When Rina heard Beth talk she was surprised as when they first met she didn't say anything to them. Beth then looked at Rina, smiled and got up to hug her.

"Hey Sissy It's nice to see you awake!" Beth said while hugging Rina.

"Um sis? And why are you talking now? You didn't say a word when we first met." Rina explained, very confused.

"Oh well that's because I was so excited to meet you I forgot to talk. You see I also have autism so I might act a bit strange because of that." Beth explained.

"Oh okay that explains your behavior from yesterday, but where did you find this boy?" Rina asked while pointing to Boy.

"Oh this is my younger brother, and his name is Boy!" Beth explained excitedly.

"Okay... But how did he get in?" Rina asked.

"Oh well I saw he was outside the gate so I let him in!" Beth explained.

"Okay well as good as that was, please ask me and the others before opening the gate. After all, a zombie could've gotten in and we all would've been put into danger." Rina explained.

"Alright! I'll keep that in mind next time sis!" Beth happily exclaimed.

Rina sighed hoping that Beth wont make such a mistake as that could dome them all if a zombie horde attacks the house. Rina then looked at her bed and saw that Lucy was now awake, so she went up to Lucy to see how she was doing.

"Hey Little Lucy, how did you sleep last night?" Rina asked.

"I slept well... but I wish that it could be back in my old room with Daddy making breakfast." Lucy said sadly.

"Oh Lucy I know how you feel, I want the same thing as well. To wake up to my mom's cooking and my seeing my dad in the living room watching the news." Rina explained sadly.

"Hmm I wanna go home, I want everything to be back to normal. *sniff* Why did this happen Rina? *sniff* Did we do something wrong?" Lucy asked while sniffing a bit.

"No Lucy we didn't do anything wrong, this didn't happen because of us. There's another reason behind it and I'm going to find out what it is and if there's a way to fix it!" Rina said confidently.

Lucy smiled a bit, feeling better from what Rina said, as it gave her confidence that they'll make it through this apocalypse.

"GUYS COME UP HERE AND LOOK AT THE FUCKING NEWS!" Ron Screamed.

Rina covered Lucy's ears the moment Ron had said a curse word and Beth did the same with Boy.

"RON! FOR GOD SAKE WE HAVE KIDS HERE WATCH YOUR TONGUE!" Rina screamed angrily at Ron.

"Sorry Rina!" Ron called out embarrassed.

Rina just rolled her eyes and the four went upstairs to see what Ron was screaming about. When they got there Ron was sitting on the couch with Janet, Lee, Jack, and Chris all staring at the TV with fear written on their faces.

"Guys what's going on?" Rina asked.

"Um, look and see for yourself." Jack said nervously.

The four then went up to the Tv and were shocked to see what was on it. A news woman was standing right outside a border area with police and armed guards standing there with their guns and seemed to be waiting for something.

The woman then started talking "We're here live where a horrific infection has spread all throughout the state of California and has spread onto the neighboring state of Nevada. Right now police and government forces are doing what they can to prevent the infection from spreading further across the world. But just for your safety if anyone or yourself are showing the following symptoms please report to the nearest hospital immediately."

Then a list of certain symptoms came up, and they were: Dizziness, Fever, coughing up blood, sudden blindness, and loss of speech. When the group saw this they all felt their stomachs drop and the sense of dread creeping up their backs.

"Oh god, this isn't good." Jack said.

"Well it could be worse, this could've spread to the whole world." Ron tried reassuring everyone.

"Ron's right, but the biggest question is how long they'll manage to hold it off for?" Janet asked.

"I hope till this is over." Chris said.

"Well I hope so too I don't want any more innocent people succumbing to this nasty virus!" Beth exclaimed.

When everyone else heard Beth talk they were all just as shocked as Rina as they thought Beth was mute.

"Oh right and the reason I wasn't talking earlier was because I forgot to when I meet all of you, I have autism so I'll act and think differently than all of you." Beth explained.

"Okay just as long as you're safe and trustworthy we don't mind, and also Beth who's this kid?" Janet asked while pointing at Boy.

"Oh this is my little brother Boy." Beth explained.

"Oh cool, but how did he get in?" Lee asked.

"Oh I saw him outside of the gate last night, so I opened it up and let him in." Beth explained.

"Um, you did lock it right?" Chris asked.

"Yeah don't worry I did." Beth reassured them.

"Okay well that's good the last thing we need is a bunch of zombies getting inside. After all the windows are boarded up so we'll be pretty vulnerable if any zombies get past the gate." Ron explained.

"Yes and we'll be working on that today." Rina explained.

"Wait what?!" Jack asked.

"Ron's right we'll be screwed if any zombies get past the electric fence. So today after breakfast we'll be boarding up the windows for safety and we'll also be blocking the doors with heavy items at night so no zombies will get in through there. I've seen many zombie movies, anime, and video games to know what to do in this kind of situation." Rina explained.

"Yeah Rina's right we need to be as careful as we can be in this situation." Janet explained.

"Oh alright well what is going to be for breakfast today Janet?" Ron asked.

"Well I'll be making omelets today." Janet said.

"Ohh I never had that before, I can't wait to try it!" Beth exclaimed excitedly.

"Well while Janet is cooking the rest of us will get the stuff we need to board up the house." Rina explained.

Jack and Ron both rolled their eyes, but did not complain and everyone got to work and Beth helped Boy out as much as she could so he wouldn't hurt himself. After a while Janet was done cooking so everyone sat down to enjoy the food.

"You know Rina, I'm glad your parents seemed to have prepared for this as we've got enough food to last for months, but we can't keep on bringing people here." Janet explained.

"Huh? Why do you say that Janet?" Rina asked.

"Well we have limited supplies and we don't know how long this will last for. So there's only so many people we can bring here." Janet explained.

"Rina as much as you don't want to hear it, Janet's right. This could last for who knows how long and we only have so much supplies to use. I know you like helping people Rina, but we gotta have limits to who we help." Lee explained.

"*Sigh* I know, but I can't live with myself if I leave a helpless person out there to die. That and I still need to find my parents so I'll be going out later to look for them." Rina explained.

"What?! Rina you can't go out there! It's dangerous, and for all we know your parents might be-!" Ron was about to say before Rina interrupted him.

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY ANOTHER WORD! I KNOW THEIR ALIVE, YOU JUST DON'T THINK THAT CAUSE YOUR PARENTS ARE DEAD!" Rina screamed angrily.

When Ron heard Rina say that he felt like he was about to cry as his parents death hammered him hard.

Rina then sighed, grabbed her plate and said "I think I'll eat this in my room." Before storming down to her room, still a bit angry.

Lee then looked at Ron and he seemed pretty upset, so he thought of what to say to help him feel better. "Hey Ron I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it. It's just hard to accept the truth when it's something you don't want to accept." Lee reassured Ron.

"I know, but she's right, she doesn't know if her parents are alright, and I know my parents are gone." Ron explained.

"But she still shouldn't have said that to you." Janet said, a bit mad at what Rina said.

"Hey she said it in anger I'm sure she regrets it!" Beth defended Rina.

"Well she needs to control her words when she's mad." Janet said.

"Yeah she can't just say stuff like then even when she's mad. Believe me our aunt was like that and we never got along with her when she was mad as she said a lot of hurtful things." Chris explained.

"W-Well I'm sure she'll apologize later after thinking over what she said." Boy said.

"Well see, but for now let's just eat." Janet said.

Everyone agreed and began eating their breakfast. Beth and Boy meanwhile hoped that Rina realized what she said was wrong and will apologize to Ron later as they saw that they must have feelings for one another.

(Meanwhile with Three)

Three was searching the abandoned streets of the nearby city for her two other brothers and sister. She was now in her human form as her monster form was difficult to walk in and she didn't feel like digging through the dirt and eating some of it. As she walked down the deserted streets and empty shops and buildings that were once bustling with people.

"Wow in a matter of Days this place turned upside down... and it's all because of our eldest brother seven dame us! He caused all of this and all for what? Just so he could have eight's virus so he can be stronger, ugh I hate egoistic jerks like him!" Three said angrily to herself.

"Alright Five! What's the likelihood of someone still being alive here?" three heard a familiar voice ask in the distance.

"Well according to my calculations it's about a 25% chance we'll find anyone here." Another voice said in the distance.

Three then ran to where she heard the voices and soon saw her two other brothers standing in time square. Her brother Four was in the fountain and Five was chilling on a bench next to him.

"Four Five Over here!" Three called out to her brothers.

The two boys looked up and were delighted to see one of their sisters again. Four then jumped out of the fountain and ran up to her to give her a hug.

"Hey Sis, glad to see you alright!" Four said while hugging his sister.

"Thanks Bro and I'm glad to see the two of you are alright, also where's Six?" Three asked.

"Oh she's in a nearby dress shop. She wanted to try out some of the clothes here as Mr. Z never permitted us with clothes." Five explained.

"Hmm yeah he didn't I really hope he's dead now." Three said angrily.

"Well who knows, when Seven broke out of his cell and infected people with his virus the lab went into total chaos so who knows who got out and who got killed." Four said.

"Well I hope he was a part of the ones who got killed, but that's not the point I wanted to tell you all something." Three explained.

"Oh what's that?" Five was curious about what his sister had to say.

"Well Two of Beth as she now goes by found our strongest virus sibling Eight." Three explained.

"Oh really that's good, how is she doing?" Four asked.

"As far as I'm concerned she's fine. She's in the little town that's near this city in a big house on a hill that's pretty isolated from the rest of the town. She's also with some other humans so I believe that she's alright, oh and One or Boy is there with Beth." Three explained.

"Ah alright, and how's Boy doing, his second personality didn't come out did it?" Four asked.

"He's fine. It did come out when the outbreak happened as he was incredibly stressed at the time, but he's out of it now." Three explained.

"That's good to know, Boy's a good kid, but his second personality is much more violent than he is." Four said.

"Yeah, but thankfully Boy wont go into his second personality unless he is in high stress situations. And unfortunately Boy's form of dissociative identity disorder is one of the rare cases where the second personality is willing to commit homicide." Five explained.

"Yeah and it's all thanks to Mr. Z and the experiments he performed on us with those viruses." Three said Bitterly.

"You said it sis!" a girl's voice called out.

The three looked in the direction of the voice and saw their sister Six in a white dress with different prints of flowers decorating it along with white sandals that had flowers on them as well.

"Hi guys! What do you think?" Six asked.

"You look great sis!" Three said.

"Thank you Three, Oh! And I'd like to go by Luna now if that's cool with you?" Luna asked.

"I don't mind at all, I'm sick and tired of using numbers as our names." Four stated sternly.

"Well if we're changing names I'd like mint to match my personality so I think Albert is great for me." Five said.

"Bro why of all names in the world would you want the name Albert?" Four asked.

"Well from what I could gather there was a human man a long time ago named Albert Einstein and he was one of the smartest known scientists on earth." Albert explained.

"Alright well if you're naming yourself after a celebrity in science, then I'm doing the same thing so my new name is Michael. As the world's best swimmer has that name." Michael explained.

"Hmm fitting brother, well I guess my new name is Darcy, as it sounds dark and I like dark things." Darcy explained.

"Great! This might not be how we planned our new start, but hey once all of this clears up I'm sure things for us will turn around!" Luna exclaimed excited for the new start.

"Yeah, by the way did you get any clothes in there for the rest of us?" Darcy asked.

"Of course I did. I didn't know what size you all are so I have lots of options." Luna explained.

"Eh I don't give a shit about the design all I care about is that I can wear some god fucking dame clothes!" Michael explained.

"Same here although I would like something that would make me look smart." Albert explained.

"Well good for you I've got just that!" Luna exclaimed excitedly and showed her siblings the clothes.

Michale picked a pair of blue swimming trunks and a blue tank top, Albert picked out an orange and dark blue striped shirt, and a pair of jean shorts. Darcy meanwhile picked out a long black skirt and a white crop top. After the three were done getting their new clothes on they took a look at themselves in the fountain.

"Hmm not bad I like it!" Michale said.

"Same here I think mine looks perfect." Albert said.

"Yeah and I think mine fits well with my personality as I'm a dark and light person, both with my skintone and just me personally." Darcy explained.

"Yeah tr-AAAAHHHH!" Michale was about to say when he was interrupted by someone screaming.

The four looked past the fountain and saw a woman running out of a building screaming her head off.

"Okay is that woman stupid? Noises attract the zombies because after all their other senses are Pfff." Michle said, annoyed by the lady.

Just then some zombies came out of the building the lady ran out of and more came out of other buildings and alleyways.

"Oh no! Guys we gotta help her!" Luna shouted.

"Luna's right! We're immune to the virus so we can help her out! You boys ready to kick some zombie ass?" Darcy asked.

"Oh Ho Ready as I'll ever be I'm bored standing around with my thumbs up my nose!" Michale declared.

"The woman's chance of surviving on her own is down to 5% but with our help it'll be 98% so I'm in!" Albert said.

"Alright let's go!" Darcy exclaimed and the four ran up to the woman to help her.

The woman then fell to the ground and when she looked up she was horrified to see a zombie was about to pounce on her. She closed her eyes in horror and waited for her horrible demise, but then she heard something crack and a boy yelling. She then opened her eyes and saw four teenagers fighting off the zombies with their fists and objects they found on the floor.

"Eat this you ugly bastard!" Michale screamed and started slamming a briefcase on a zombie's head till it split open.

"My calculations determine that you will not survive having a pipe hitting your head about six times." Albert said before hitting more zombies with the pipe he had found.

"Hiya! Take this, I'll make sure this Virus doesn't spread any further and kill more of the people who make amazing outfits for others to wear!" Luna screamed as she crushed some of the zombies' heads with an ax she found.

"And when we find Seven we're going to make sure he pays for doing this and taking so many innocent lives!" Darcy screamed as she used her bare hands to crush the zombies heads.

Soon all of the zombies in the area were dead (again XD) so the group relaxed as they were safe, for now.

"Ugh man I never thought coming out here for the first time in years would be like this." Michale said, tired.

"It's not how any of us planned it, but hopefully we'll be able to get a taste of normal life." Albert reassured Michael.

"Yeah and hopefully I'll be able to do the things all normal teenage girls do, shop for clothes!" Luna exclaimed excitedly.

"Um pardon me, but what are you children talking about?" The woman asked.

"It's personal with us, and it's our own business so you don't need to know. But there is something you need to tell us, where you were bitten?" Darcy asked in a demanding tone.

"N-No I wasn't, and t-thanks for saving me." The woman said.

"Anytime, we can't have anyone else succumbing to this virus after all, the more humans to fight against it the more zombies will die and the sooner it will be over." Darcy explained.

"Yeah you're right, and hey if you all need some shelter and food I'm with a group of survivors. I was with a team earlier to get more supplies, but we got attacked and everyone I was with got killed." The woman explained.

The four looked at each other then looked back at the lady and Darcy started explaining things to her "Sorry ma'am, but we've got more important things to do out here so we can join your group. All we can do is bring you back to your camp, but after that we have to part ways."

The woman looked sad but nodded her head feeling like she wouldn't be able to win the argument with them. "Thanks for helping me at least." The woman said before the five went to the camp.

(Back with Rina and the others)

Rina and her friends were done boarding up the walls, and right now she was outside looking at the abandoned town. She also felt very ashamed of herself for yelling at Ron and saying something so hurtful and sensitive to him.

"Oh god Rina, why did you say that? *Sigh* I shouldn't have said that to him, Ron's still upset about what happened to his parents, and mine could still be alive. I need to apologize to him." Rina said to herself before going inside.

She looked around and saw Ron sitting at the table fiddling with a flash drive. Rina took a deep breath and went over to Ron and sat next to him.

"Hey Ron... Look I know you might not want to talk to me now, but I wanted to say that... I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. I shouldn't have said that to you and I'll understand if you're mad at me." Rina said then waited for Ron's response.

Ron was quiet for a moment before saying "Rina I understand why you want to look for your family. If I didn't see my parents dying then I would also want to look for them and see if they're still alive. I know you can't accept that they're gone, so if you want to go out and look for them, then I'll be with you in your search."

Rina smiled and hugged Ron, which in turn made Ron blush a bit, but he hugged her back lovingly.

"Oh and Ron, can I ask but where did you get that Flash drive?" Rina asked.

"I found it in the secret lab, it's labeled the eight tyrants." Ron explained.

"Eight tyrants? Hmm I wonder what that means?" Rina asked.

"I don't know, but whatever it is it must've been important if it was down there." Ron explained.

"Hmm we should look at it, my parents computer might be able to let us in." Rina suggested.

"Okay let's do that." Ron said.

The two then got up and went to Rina's parents room to take a look at the flash drive. Beth meanwhile was in Rina's bathroom taking a look at her special medicine. Then Boy walked in the bathroom worried about Beth as she was in there for quite a while.

"Hey Beth is everything alright?" Boy asked.

"Yeah everything's fine, but I found something." Beth explained.

"What's that?" Boy asked curiously.

"I found submission pills." Beth explained.

"Wait what? Why does Rina have those? Doesn't she know what they do?" Boy asked surprised.

"Apparently she doesn't know anything, her parents must've kept it all from her. Why else would she have these pills and a red eye?" Beth asked.

"I guess you're right, so wait if she has those pills, does that mean she's?" Boy asked.

"Yes she is, and I'm gonna dump these out cause Rina needs to stop taking these if Seven comes here and attacks her." Beth explained.

"Wait, what if she finds out? She'll be really mad if she finds out what you did." Boy explained.

"I know, but once she learns the truth she'll understand why I did it." Beth explained.

"Okay I'll stay with you and try to keep an eye out for Rina and the others." Boy said.

"Thanks little bro, now come on, let's get rid of these pills." Beth said then left the bathroom and went upstairs with Boy.

When they got upstairs they looked around for the others, thankfully all she saw was little Lucy sleeping on the couch and the two twins facing away from the door and having a conversation.

Beth and Boy then went to the door and went outside. When they got there Beth went up to the edge of the fence and threw the pills far away into the forest knowing what would happen to Rina once she stopped taking them.

However the pills hit someone on the back of the head. When the guy looked at the bottle he recognized them as submission pills. He then picked them up and smelled them recognizing the smell that was on them.

"Oh Two now where did you find these? Surely you don't take this... but I know that our sister Eight does. Hehe oh naive little Two always doing such stupid things, then again what do you expect from someone who's autistic huh? Now I just gotta follow the scent and find Eight. Hmm, but I can't just attack her if she's been taking these pills, I gotta help her become active if I want to take them. Well then I guess I'm in for some juicy fun hahahahahahaHAHAHA!" Seven laughed psychically as he made his way to the source of the scent hoping to accomplish what he was planning.
