章節 10: I'll go look for you
"Let's forget that..." Wanting to talk to her parents, she dialed a number and patiently waited. Nothing. Apparently, her family wasn't home. She tried to call her father. Unreachable. Then her mom's phone. To no avail. Anxious, she called her sister.
This time, someone answered.
"Y-yes ?"
"Millie..."
Nora heard her sister gasp before she started to cry.
"Nora, Nora, Nora ! I can't believe it's you ! The doctors said you wouldn't wake up before a couple of days, and then the zombies came and I thought... Nora I was so scared ! I am so scared ! What are..."
"Millie, please, calm down, okay ? Is everything good on your end ?"
"I had the time to hide before the zombies rushed here. But you ? How did you escape the zombies ?"
"... It's a bit... strange. Let's talk about what's important. How many days has it been since I was asleep ?"
"Hm, let me think... I need to reflect a bit... I think... A week, maybe ? I don't know, I'm inside this room, I don't know !"
"It's alright, don't panic. When did the zombies started to attack ?"
She heard her sister take a long breath before she carefully answered.
"Three, four days ?"
"Good. Did you call Mom and Dad ?"
"I couldn't reach Dad, but I could talk with Mom once. She said that soldiers came to evacuate the civils and that's the last time I could call her."
"I see. Now, where are you ?"
"In the hospital. I came to see you after school but I went to buy some snacks, before."
"Some ?"
"... Okay, I bought ten sort of candies and stuff. Mom found all my previous stock a few days ago, so... Wait, that's not the subject. I was putting the snacks in my backpack when the zombies rushed where I was. I panicked so I found a nearby room, I blocked the door with everything I found and closed us inside."
"Us ?"
"Yes, there is Daisy and her little cute marshmallow son."
Even during those difficult times, Millie didn't forget her fascination for cute things.
"So where are you ?"
"On the twelfth floor, room... which room Daisy, please ? Ah, thanks. So, room 541, maternity ward."
"Maternity ward... How did you even end up there ? No, let's not answer that question before we diverge form the discussion. Alright, I'll go look for you."
"What ? Are you crazy ?! There is zombies everywhere ! You're gonna die !"
"Millie, how do you think I found a phone, exactly ?"
"Impossible... I mean... Did you kill zombies and all ?"
"Yes."
"They didn't bite you ? Eat you ? Dismembered you ? Rip your..."
"No, they didn't, how would I be talking if they did ?"
"Few, you're still human, that's great."
Nora clenched the phone in her hand, feeling a bit awkward.
"About that..."
With an understanding of the deeper meaning, the sisters stayed silent for a few minutes.
"Are... you a zombie ?"
"Not that much."
"How so ?"
"Well, I still have my consciousness, I don't stink and I eat them, so I can't really say I'm a zombie, right ?"
