Porkbelly

Memories. Memories are the most painful thing to remember now... It's been an hour since Yowane came back. I never killed someome like that before. I coudn't sleep after that. I was watching the fence, which was surrounded with Walkers. There was about 7 of them around me, but I didn't give a damn. I stayed there with her blood still on my hands. I heard the door open and shut and Rin taking a seat next to me.

"Couldn't sleep either?" I asked.

"...No." She said.

We stayed silent for another minute until I said

"Back at Diamond and Joel's base, you both called him dad."

"We're twin sisters. Well... half-sisters. My father's name was Filthy Rich. His wife, Spoiled Rich, was Diamond's mother. One night, my dad cheated on her for some maid of his and... well... me and Len were created. One kid, Spoiled could've handled, but two... Spoiled treated us like freaks. Kept us away from Diamond, from the outside world, and from her. We lived in one side of the mansion and were taught there" She said.

That moment was when I realized we had more in common than I thought.

"What?" Rin asked me.

"I know how you feel. At Crystal Prep, I was treated like an outcast. I was isolated most of the time because of the teachers. I soon realized that was because they wanted to beat the hell outta me anytime they wanted. Sometimes students joined in. I saw one of the teachers, Mr. Sombra, look at me once. I could tell he wanted to help, but he couldn't." I said.

"Kyle-" Rin started.

"No. I need to let it out. One day, I brought a knife into school. I was on the roof, looking down thinking on jumping, when some of the students found me up there. After a few kicks, I pulled it out. They jumped back thinking I was gonna shank them, but I tossed it at them, and I said, 'Do what Cinch wants you to do.', and I looked away and took a seat. I heard a door open and footsteps getting quieter. After the day was over, well... the world ended, the zombie apocalypse. I went home planning to talk to her, but guess who the first. Zombie. I saw. Was?" I asked.

"Kyle. The door's still open." Rin said.

Before I could look, I got engaged in a death hug by Sunset. Rainbow joined in and Rin went last. We stayed there for a while until I think I fell asleep.

After I woke up, the Walkers were dead and I was inside with the others. Rainbow was packing when she saw me awake.

"I thought you'd never wake up." She said handing me a warm can of Hash.

"My favorite." I joked as I started eating.

"You're lucky we wiped your face, or you'd be tasting blood now." Sunset said.

I kept eating, ignoring the fact that I was asleep.

"Where should we go?" Rin asked.

"There's a city close to Our Town- Porkbelly. It might have supplies." Rin said.

"Or people." Sunset asked.

"If that, then it's dangerous." I said.

The rest stayed silent for a few minutes until Rin looked up.

"No. That doesn't mean it." She said.

"Rin..." I started saying.

"There are still good people, Kyle. Meiko's one of them. She wasn't involved in the attack, and she certainly wasn't involved in... well..."

I took that in for a minute. The way Yowane said that I was last... it haunts me.

"Alright. Later, we go to this 'Porkbelly'..." I chuckled at that name. "...Then Our Town." I said.

We drove up to the city and, as we figured, it was completely overrun with Walkers and a few Runners.

"Ever notice that we don't call them zombies anymore?" Sunset asked.

We stood there.

"Yeah, I noticed." I said.

"It's just so weird, you know? If this didn't happen, I'd be watching The Walking Dead or something right now." Sunset said.

"I'd be training some newbees in the gym." Rainbow said.

"I'd be getting beat by Spoiled for being alive." Rin said.

"I'd be dead." I said.

We stayed silent as we drove into the city. We saw about 20 Walkers- 20 Zombies... near a corner store.

"We should take them out." Rainbow said.

"Alright. Silently!" I whispered.

We jumped out and slashed them. We went to the rooftops in order to not be seen. I took binoculars and looked around. I saw a small house in the distance with lights on.

"I see something!" I said.

Rainbow grabbed her binoculars and looked with me. She saw it and told the others.

"We go on foot. A car'll alert them." I said.

We grabbed a big plank and used it to travel across the gaps between the rooftops. We kept moving until we found a rooftop that was too high for the plank.

"We go on the ground from here. Be careful, all of you." I said.

After we went to ground level, we saw about 50 Zombies looking dead at us!

"It's okay. They're slow." I said as we picked up our paces.

We made it about a mile closer to the house. Now we had to lose this horde.

"We gotta lose these zombies." I said.

"How? We don't have enough ammo." Sunset said.

"Rainbow, go lure them away. I'll go with you. The rest of you, go for a building nearby until we get back." I said.

We seperated and got the horde focused on us. Rainbow was banging her baseball bat against the concrete, trying to get their attention. I took a silenced pistol I got from Joel's arsonel and fired at the horde. We kept doing this until we were near the outside of the city. We snuck back into the building and found the others.

"Let's go." I said.

We saw neighborhood where the house is. We were now in front of the windows. We crawled past them to avoid detection. We were now in front of the door.

"Now what?" Rainbow whispered.

"We just... knock, I guess." Sunset whispered back.

"...Alright." I said walking up the porch.

I knocked.

"Hello? I saw your lights. We don't mean any trouble. We're trying to get to a town. It's walled, safe." I said.

What happened next was the door blasted open and some kid with flame hair- I'm not kidding, his hair resembled a fire- with a shotgun pointed at me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

He didn't say a word, but he noticed that I had others with me.

"You should come in." The kid said walking inside.

We walked in and saw that it was just any other suburban house. I noticed that the room downstairs had a light from inside.

"That's my sister's lab. I should call her up. My name's Johnny." Johnny said.

"I'm Kyle." I said.

"SUSAN! WE GOT VISITORS!" Johnny suddenly shouted.

Someone downstairs came running up with some form of weapon.

"You let them in?!" She asked.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Listen, we don't mean any trouble. We just need a place to rest, then we'll go back on track." I said.

"On track to where?" Susan asked lowering that contraption.

"Our Town. It was said to be fortified, people inside." I said.

"We have others with us. Two more people. Wait until they come back, and we'll do a vote." Susan said.

"You can take the living room until then." Johnny said.

"Thank you." Rin said as we started moving.

"I'm releived. I was starting to think I was the last male on earth." I joked.

We stayed in the living room. Rin was looking for something, Rainbow was doing push-ups, Sunset was looking in Susan's lab. I was sharpening Scootaloo's machete on the couch.

"That's a cool blade." Johnny said.

"Thanks." I said.

We stayed silent for a few more seconds until Johnny looked at me.

"Where'd you get it?"

I then remembered seeing her corpse... No head, no life...

"I got it from a friend's corpse..." I said brutally.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry."

"It's okay. There's nothing you could do. I'm just glad I have this to remind me of her..." I said.

We waited a few more hours until I heard the door open.

"Susan? Test? We're back." A female, scratchy voice asked.

"They're downstairs with one of our group." I said.

"Aaand who are you?" The girl asked.

"I'm Kyle. This is Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer. The one downstairs, Rin, is with your group." I said.

"Alright. I'm Sissy, by the way." Sissy said as she walked away.

"Is it me, or do we sound exactly alike?" Rainbow asked.

"...Yeah, you do actually." Sunset said.

"Let's go get Rin." I said.

I was nearing the place where I heard people talking about: Our Town. He has to be there... He has to.

"If he's not at Sanctuary, he has to be there." I told my sister.

"Let's just worry about Our Town for now." Adagio told me.

I saw the fences and a cabin nearby. I told Adagio to go inside the walls and I go into the cabin.

"Alright. Tell Ali and Cole what you find." Adagio said.

I grabbed my silenced rifle and walked up. I saw a light on and I heard a voice.

"...What was the kid's name again? Kyle somethin'?"

Oh CRAP!

I waited until he came out to make my move. I grabbed my knife and grabbed him.

"Push that button and you get this knife to your throat. Drop your weapons." I said.

He dropped the weapon and I asked him about Kyle.

"He's not here. We're trying to find him, but no luck. All we found was some old man who said he was with him in the early days. He's not exactly around anymore, though..." The man said.

"Stay here." I said.

I grabbed his radio and changed the channel.

"Twilight? It's me. He's around here. Move in." I said.
