Chapter Five

Jordan and Tank fought in the lobby, having gone to check the boards.

“we have to get back to the stage!” Jordan said as she stuck her knife in the rotting head of a corpse. Tank grabbed a monkey bomb that was sitting off to the side, winding it up and throwing it in a corner. It started playing and the undead ran to it, Tank grabbing the Cuban’s wrist and running through the doors that lead directly into the auditorium.

Nikolai was on the stage with Richtofen, shooting the faceless exploding Gollum lookin’ motherfuckers. Richtofen cackled maniacally as he stabbed Zombies in the faces with his sickle.

“Fuck!” Alexx was heard cursing as she had backed herself into a corner and was almost out of ammo.

Richtofen fought to get to her, soon reaching her and grabbing her up with one arm. He grabbed a gun from off the wall and shot at zombies with his free hand, holding her on his shoulder. Her face was pink and she stabbed at a zombie that came from behind, her hand going to Richtofen's lower back so she didn’t tumble off, though it was unlikely she would because he had an iron grip across her waist.

Once the wave had subsided, he set her down. She stumbled a bit at feeling returning to her legs, her hands going to his chest. A hand went to her side to steady her, him gazing down at her. She looked up at him, his emerald green eyes normal, the insanity he felt moments ago hidden by the concern.

“Are jou okay?” He asked, she nodded.

“Thank you for giving me a hand back there.” she didn't wanna say ‘thank you for saving me’ because it sounded like she was a damsel in distress. Edward seemed to guess that and smiled some,

“Jou are velcome.” he said and removed his hand from her side slowly, she hated to admit it but she missed the warmth they gave off.

Soon children laughing and playing echoed before slowly fading. Alexx’s eyes darkened and her demeanor changed instantly.

“Alexx..” Tank said, going to put a hand on her shoulder but she smacked it away and quickly walked off.

“Is she okay..?” Jordan asked. Tank rubbed his face and sighed softly,

TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.

“Probably something you should know.” He said and went to lean back against the still broken teleporter until he saw Richtofen's glare. He opted to sit and lean against the wall.

“Alexx was around 20 when she was drug into an alley and..well...sexually assaulted by a group of her ex’s friends.” Tank said, looking at his feet, “The bastard already had abused her for the 2 years they were together..” he took a deep breath and let it out, “Anyway, she was pregnant by one of the dudes, she wanted to keep it. She made it to full term but the baby was born dead. About right after that was when she started to get suicidal, depressed, and other things. I knew my sister had a little bit of a screw loose and I've seen her act out before, but never that bad. She was in the psych ward for about a year, ever since then, children have had a depressing hold on her.”
