Chapter 83
Alex’s POV
**“Why the fuck; do they always have to attack someone at sparrow’s fart o’clock”** Jonas complains to me. **“Because they want to punish us”** I answer him; yawning. “Quit complaining; if you went to bed when I told you to; you wouldn’t be complaining about how early we are getting up” Jessica laughs. “I would have come to bed at 9; but you said no; we need our energy for today” I fume.
“And now I have to wait for the bathroom; COBY” I yell; banging on the door. “You were too slow” he yells back.
“All yours, Alpha Grumpy arse” Coby says coming out of the toilet. I grumble at him; walking past him and in through the toilet door.
“Don’t feel special Coby; he treat’s everyone the same, at this time of the morning” Olivia laughs.
“Morning” Toby yawns, coming out of his room and into the toilet after me. “Come on, we need to get the blood on Jonas before we all get teleported” Jessica says to me. **“Why do I need blood on my fur? I was smelling the last lot for two weeks”** Jonas snarls, **“Because we are dead”** I answer him.
“The Morning Grumble Pants, has arisen” Nathanial calls as Jessica and I head into the hallway. “Good morning, Alex” Master Joe calls out in his over-the-top cheerful voice. “Uhh” I grunt at him. “Come and we will get you two looking like zombies. You will need to shift to Jonas; that was the form you were killed in” Adrian says.
We get into the common room; Debbie and Cathy are waiting for Pedro and myself. “Morning Alex; you need to shift into Jonas, we will do the zombie look on him first and he can practice his zombie walk; while we touch up Pedro” Debbie says.
I shift into Jonas and he lies on his side for the two girls to smother talcum powder and blood through his fur. **“What’s the powder for?”** he grumbles. **“To make you look ghost like, I suppose.” “If they use anymore; they’re going to have a sneezing Zombie on their hands”** he snorts.
“Done; Nath’s got a mirror you can admire yourself in Jonas” Debbie giggles. He trots over to the mirror and we both have a look.** “She’s done a good job. I really do look like I’ve risen from the dead”** he says to me. **“Debbie was a makeup artist before the twins were born; she knows her stuff”** I tell him. “Jonas; you have to drag one of your back legs like this” Adrian laughs; dragging his leg behind him. Jonas tries to mimic him and stumbles over his front paws. He growls; **“I’ll do it my way.”**
I can see in the mirror; he sits his butt onto the ground; back legs either side of him. He walks with his front legs; dragging his ass along the floor. Nathanial, Adrian and I are falling over ourselves in fits of laughter. **“What’s so funny?”** he snarls. **“You look like you have an itchy bum.”**
He growls at us; **“lift the back leg on the uninjured side slightly”** I tell him. **“Like this?” “Yes, that’s good. The injured side; the back leg is dead; it needs to drag on the ground with your bum up a bit”** I encourage him. **“This is ridiculous!”** he huffs. “That’s perfect, Jonas. Do that” Adrian says and I grin at him.
“All done; go have a look?” Debbie says to Pedro. **“Jonas; turn your ass around, so I can see Pedro” “I’m practicing”** he grunts at me. **“Practice by turning your ass around.”**
“Wow; Debbie, you’ve did an awesome job” Jessi says coming into the common room. **“Look what I can do, Jessi”** Jonas says enthusiastically. He says to himself, ‘back legs down; bum up; dead leg, walk.’ “A walking, zombie wolf. Well done; Jonas.” He sits up and wags his tail at her. “You’re still a good boy, Jonas” she mocks patting the top of his head; a puff of powder billows out around him and he sneezes. **“I knew this was going to happen”** he complains; as I cackle in his head.
“We’re all ready to go” Cathy says. “You’re not coming” Adrian snarls at her. “Yes, I am; Mum is there” she fumes back him. “Give me a minute to put this stuff away and I’ll be right to go too” Debbie says. “You’re not going either” Nathanial yells at her. “I most certainly am” she yells back.
“Alex; tell them, they’re not coming” Nathanial tells me. I open a mind link to Debbie, Cathy, Nath and Ads *“They’re not coming. I told them. What do you want me to do? I’m an overgrown zombie dog”* **“We’re a zombie wolf! Don’t you listen to your mate?”**
“I would pat you; but I don’t want Jonas sneezing again” Cathy giggles.
“We better get down to the porthole sight” Jessica says. *“Tell Pedro he looks good; we are definitely the walking dead, please Jessi”* I mind link her; “Pedro, Alex said to tell you, you look good and you both are the walking dead.” “You’re not going to drag your ass on the ground again, are you?” he asks laughing. **“Tell him; I can rip a real whole in his stomach”** Jonas threatens. “No; he won’t be” Jessica answers.
We get to the porthole; “we will be five miles south, from the tunnel in the clearing; where there are no cameras. You both will go first and start your Zombie apocalypse. We will be coming through behind you. Stay safe and call if anything goes wrong” Master Trainer Tom says. “Are you ready?” Pedro says to me. Jonas nods his head.
“Let’s go then” Pedro and Jonas step through the porthole and come out in the clearing. **“Like Jessi always says; that is freaky shit;”** Jonas tells me.
Glenn, Alister and Levi come through behind us; Pedro and Jonas make our way north to the trees. Pedro stops; “Jeremy is in the tunnel” he says. Jonas sniffs the air; sure enough, Jems scent wafts back to us. We sniff the air around us; there is no-one else here. *“Jems; are you alone”* I mind link him. *“What took you so long? I’ve been waiting here for an hour. Leanne mind linked me to say you called and you will be coming today. I put myself on guard duty here for your arrival. Cameras are already off.”*
**“Do you mean, I am wearing this make up for nothing?”** Jonas spits. *“Jonas wants to do his performance; I’m going to give it to him”* I link Jems. *“What performance?” “Cameras are off; you can start coming to the trees”* I link Glenn, Alister and Levi. *“Already?” “You can come watch Jonas be a zombie”* I say to them. **“Zombie, yourself out”** I tell Jonas.
Jonas and Pedro zombie their way to the tunnel entrance; to meet up with Jeremy. I can see Jeremy laughing as two zombies make their way straight toward him. “You guys are hilarious” he calls out. “We try” I say; shifting back at the tunnel entrance. “They are teleporting everyone here. We’ll just wait until they get here. Then the fun will start” Pedro says giving Jems a kiss on the cheek.
“Can’t wait and it’s good to see you” Jems says giving me a shoulder tap.
