Chapter 3:

The death of my roommate

The Zombie Apocalypse Started the Day I Got My First Girlfriend


"Kuro, please don't jinx it," Kenji briefly shouted at him, while holding both the door and his chest as his voice was trembling in fear.

Then Yuto's sweaty and trembling hands finally gave out from holding the doorframe, and He then slowly stumbled back, holding his head with both of his hands, as his thoughts were spiraling.

"Fuck… fuck… fuckkkk…" His voice was cracking as he spoke out, affecting his speech pattern; his whole body was shaking constantly from excess adrenaline. "I just got a girlfriend… for crying out loud, I am in my popular faze, why now?! Why the hell now?!"
CRACK!

The doorframe splintered open. A very pale-looking, blood-slicking and fleshy hand burst through the wooden doorframe like it was paper, clawing and lashing out blindly.

"Wha…?! AAAHHH!" Kenji screamed briefly and also stumbled backwards, waving his fingers in fear as the zombie girl's hand grabbed onto his wrist with unnatural strength... In the heat of the moment, the zombie girl's head forced its way through the widening wooden crack; her jaws and teeth were snapping rapidly like a wild animal.

CHOMP!

CHAMP!

"NOOOO!"

Blood briefly sprayed out in all directions, painting their dorm room walls red... Kenji then shouted in intense pain as the zombie girl's teeth tore into his hand flesh violently, and thick red blood started running down his arm like sweat.

"LET GO OF HIM!" Kuro, at the other side, screamed out loud and was also crying as he grabbed a nearby chair, smashing it multiple times against the zombie girl's arm... The aluminum chair cracked on the last impact, but the zombie girl's grip didn't loosen. At all. She only sank her teeth deeper into his flesh.

Then Kenji's face was twisted in terror and pain, his voice was breaking as he cried out, "Yuto! Do something! PLEASE!" 

In the midst of the chaos, Yuto stood there completely frozen, his mind empty. His legs refused to move, refused to answer his commands, and his entire body was locked in fear because of the scene in front of him.

"Yuto! PLEASE!"

The scream shattered the fear inside him. His body finally answered to his commands, rushing forward on instinct.

"Hold on, Kenji!" Yuto exclaimed, rushing to the attacked and bitten Kenji in pain... He then desperately grabbed him under the arms and pulled with everything he had, trying to pull him free from the zombie girl's teeth and jaws.

"Fuck, it's not letting go!" Kuro cried out loud, still smashing the aluminum chair down again and again, blood from the zombie was flying all around... The zombie didn't even flinch. It just growled and roared louder, before it continued to bite deeper into Kenji's hands. Kenji thrashed around like a psychiatric patient, his eyes wide with terror, his voice breaking into cries and sobs.

"It hurts… it HURTS! Get it off me, Yuto!"

"I'm trying!" Yuto shouted while pulling, his muscles were burning up as he pulled even harder, his hands were slipping on the blood covering his roommate's shirt and body. "Just… just hold on!"

CRACK!

The wooden door frame gave way, splintering even wider, and the zombie girl forced more of her body inside. Half of her whole face was shoved through, her blood-soaked mouth was stretching wider by the second, growling in pure hunger.

Yuto's eyes widened in complete horror, explaining everything without needing to speak... 'If it gets through, we're all dead.'

"Yuto, LET GO OF HIM!" Kuro yelled, panic rising in his voice as he had already given up on Kenji.

But Yuto's grip only tightened. "I won't! I can't just leave him…"
In a few more seconds, Kenji's screams were all over the room as the zombie girl ripped deeper into his skin. His strength was fading away a lot faster as more of his Blood got sprayed across Yuto's arm and chest, hot and sticky, smelling a lot like crude oil.

"NOOOO!" Yuto's voice was dry, raw and empathetic as his cries were filled with desperation, as he kept pulling, refusing to let go even as the life drained from his friend and roommate's eyes.

In less than ten seconds, Kenji stopped moving entirely. His painful screams and cries ended, and his body went limp in Yuto's arms.
The zombie girl that had been biting him suddenly let go... It slowly stepped back through the broken doorframe and walked out into the hallway without making a sound.

Yuto froze up, staring at his friend and roommate. "H-hey, bro? Say something… please." But there was no response. His eyes were white and empty. His chest wasn't moving or showing any sign of Breathing.

The Kuro rushes over, stumbling from the excessive blood on the floor, before kneeling down beside Kenji's body. "He's still alive, I can…"
Before he could finish talking, Kenji's eyes snapped back open. He roared like the zombie girl and lunged forward, biting deep into the shoulder of Kuro, who was looking at his injuries.

"AGHHHHHHHH!" Kuro screamed in pain as blood poured down his arm.

Kenji, the newly turned zombie, shook his head violently, ripping through flesh and bone. His teeth clamped down harder as Kuro thrashed around the bloody floor, trying to push him away.

"STOP KENJI! GET OFF HIM!" Yuto shouted, before stumbling backwards, his hands shaking multiple times, his voice breaking character.

"STOP!" Yuto shouted again, his voice was a lot desperate.


Kuro was screaming on the floor, his blood spilling everywhere as the zombified Kenji bit deeper into his shoulder. Yuto's body finally moved again. He looked around the room, grabbed the nearest thing he could find, his desktop keyboard, and rushed forward.

With both hands, he swung it down hard on the zombified Kenji's head.

BANG!

CLANG!

But it did little to no damage, nor did it stop or immobilize him. Kenji kept biting, tearing into Kuro's flesh deeper.

"LET HIM GO!" Yuto screamed and struck again, this time harder than his last attempt.

BANG!

Blood splattered across the floor, adding more to what was there, but the zombified Kenji kept moving, its jaws still locked into Kuro's shoulder.

Yuto raised the keyboard one more time, his arms shaking, and slammed it down with everything he had.
CRACK!


The zombified Kenji's head jerked up violently. Its teeth instantly loosened. Kuro, still on the floor, scrambled back, clutching his bleeding shoulder, screaming in pain.

Yuto stood over the dead body of his former friend and roommate, his chest was heaving with his unshed tears, and the keyboard got bent out of shape in his hands.

Kenji's zombified body twitched on the floor, its mouth still snapping open and shut even as blood leaked from its skull.

Yuto's eyes were wide, his whole body trembling. "What… what the hell is happening?!"

Kuro was on the bloody floor, gasping for air, holding his shoulder. Blood kept pouring through his fingers; his face was now pale and drenched in sweat.

"Yuto… help me… it hurts… it fucking hurts…" he cried out loud, his voice breaking and creaking as he spoke.

Yuto knelt beside him, his hands shaking. "Don't move. Just stay awake, okay? We'll get help…"
But while Yuto was talking, the bleeding briefly slowed down. Too quickly.

Within ten seconds, his hand movements slowed. His cries also stopped. His arms dropped to his sides.

Kuro's body started shaking violently. His nostril breathing turned heavy and ragged. His eyes rolled back for a moment, then snapped open wide.
In that moment, Yuto noticed something. A similar pattern. It was showing the same symptoms as Kenji, who got bitten earlier…

"Shit…" Yuto whispered, his eyes widening. He turned toward the door. "I have to get out of here!"

He bolted forward, but before he could touch the handle, arms wrapped tight around his waist.
"WHAT…?!" Yuto shouted in fear, thrashing around violently.

It was kuro. His mouth opened wide, blood dripping from his teeth. With sudden strength, he slammed Yuto forward, driving him straight through the broken door.

The two of them crashed into the hallway.

The zombified Kuro didn't stop for a second. Its grip stayed locked on Yuto's body as it charged forward.

"STOP! LET GO!" Yuto screamed like a girl, kicking and fighting.
But there was little to no time. The Zombified Kuro hurled both of them through the hallway's shattered railing.

Yuto's stomach dropped immediately. His eyes widened in terror and horror.

"NOOOO...!"
