Home - Eddie Munson
I rolled on my side to quickly prevent from getting my arm crushed by the large tentacle from that ugly beast who could once be called a frog. Unfortunately for me, the sad fucker wasn't full after eating all my food and it turns out I was going to be his lunch. I rolled off my back and started running towards my crossbow with his thunderous steps right behind me. It was an arm's reach away when he started dragging me into his mouth with his long sticky tongue. I don't know what's more disgusting; the fact that I'm about to be swallowed whole by a mutant frog, or that his tongue is literally dripping drool all over my leg. Either way, both were extremely disgusting and just the thought brought up a vile of acid in my throat. Before you read of my untimely death, you're probably wondering what the hell is going on right? Welp, let me give you a quick rundown.
Do you know how everyone always figured the world would end with like some killer zombie apocalypse? yeah no, it was totally the opposite. See what happened was really the result of some very unmentally capable humans. Super shocking, I know. It happened when some Astronauts were going on a mission to get Mars soil samples, so they could run more tests and gather data, and blah blah... you know sciency stuff. The problem was that this time they were leaving on a brand new rocket called The Evolutionary, (Kind of ironic no?) when it happened to blow up in mid-air just a few seconds after their blast off. The real problem came due to some chemical bacteria in the rocket that spread out all over the city.
Of course, bacteria being bacteria did what they do best and reproduced in larger and larger cities until they were magically everywhere. At first, no one thought it was a big deal since scientists declared it was harmless for humans. What they'd failed to mention though was that with animals it was a different story, so when mutated animals from all over the world began eating people, everyone was dazed and confused. With nothing else to do, we did what we do best; hide. The government did its best to protect everyone, but the world lost at least 4 million people in the short span of 4 years.
When the outbreak started I was just 7 years old living on a farm with my parents. I was an only child with no other family, so you can imagine my fear when I woke up one morning to my parents being eaten by a mutated cow. From then I ran south in search of safety and ended up finding an abandoned bunker fully equipped with everything one would need, so I ended up having to raise myself. Now, 14 years later I'm headed to Snowhead Mountain for shelter and that's how I found myself in my current predicament. Now back to my slimy death.
I looked around in search of some kind of makeshift weapon as I was slowly being dragged through the dirt and into the mutant frog's waiting mouth. It made a strange sound and slowly started sinking into the large lake. Oh, fuck me. My eyes lit up at the sight of a nearby toy bat and I quickly grabbed it, praying that it might be useful. I turned on my back and hit the slimy tongue around my leg as hard as I could, yet it merely let out a low animalistic growl. Something that clearly said try me bitch.
Deciding this wouldn't even get close to delaying my fate, I threw the bat to the side and began feeling cold water start slowly wrapping around my leg as it got lower and lower into the water. I looked around frantically in search of something, anything, to save my life meanwhile my foot got dangerously close to the frog's mouth and y body got dragged lower and lower into the water.
On the bright side, at least I could die a less gross death if I happened to drown. Yeah no, my conscience wasn't reassuring at all. Welp if this is how I die, I hope heaven has snacks. Suddenly, two sharp arrows pierced through the frog's tongue which ripped it in two and successfully detached from my foot. Hurridly getting out of the water, I turned to see the frog creature stomping after me. Seriously dude, take a hint. I ran and jumped over a broken tree, quickly fishing my crossbow from under a broken canoe. It was just inches away from me when I dropped on my back and shot the thing right between the eyes. Right after another arrow followed right under mine as the finishing blow and the creature dropped dead...literally.
After hearing the footsteps of whoever had saved me earlier, I quickly turned to face said person and pointed my crossbow at them. Can't be too careful these days. The guy had his bow slung around his shoulder and approached with his hands in the air as a sign of peace. " Woah Woah, relax sweetheart. I just saved your life, I mean you no harm " I took a second to inspect his features and he seemed to be around my age, he also wasn't terrible on the eyes with his curly shoulder-length hair and his pretty pink lips and his- Jesus Y/n get ahold of yourself! You just met the guy and he could be a killer for all you know.
I snapped out of it and focused back on him, seeing him with a smug face. Oh my god, he probably totally noticed my staring. My cheeks flushed and I looked to the left shortly to regain my composure before looking back into his brown orbs. AND he has pretty eyes?! What the hell does this guy not have? Clearing my throat, I stood at full height to seem more serious and not at all like I was having an internal breakdown from nearly dying and getting rescued by a hot guy. " Thank you for saving me, but how do I know you're not some killer? "He chuckled and took a few steps to stand in front of me. " If I wanted to kill you, why would I save you? Sounds kind of pointless, to be honest, but anyways; I'm Eddie. Nice to meet you " I looked down warily at his ring-covered hand and slowly shook it. It was actually surprisingly warm. " Y/n "
He chuckled once more and smiled. What a fucking smile. Good lord. " Where you headed, Y/n? " I gave him a suspicious look and he simply raised his hands up again. " I swear I'm not trying to stalk you or anything! " I mean he seemed pretty harmless for the most part. " To Snowhead Mountain "
He nodded slowly with his arms crossed against his chest. What a view. Jesus H. Christ, what a view. I really need to stop thirsting over this stranger. " You heard about the shelter too huh? Well, I just so happen to be on my way there as well, so would you like to go together, sweetheart? " The air seemed to temporarily leave my lungs both at his question and the pet name, yet at the same time, doubts filled my mind on whether I could trust this handsome stranger or not. Also, what kind of weirdo calls a girl 'sweetheart' on their first meeting? This guy's definitely got some screws loose and needs serious rizz lessons. " Alright, but try anything funny and I won't hesitate to put an arrow through your skull, understand? "
He held his heart dramatically as they began walking through the woods. " Geez, so aggressive " And so began our long journey to Snowhead Mountain.
...
" Nope, not happening "
I walked into the kitchen and he draped himself on top of my legs, looking up at me with sad puppy eyes. " Please Y/n, just one movie "
I rolled my eyes and grabbed my mug of hot cocoa off the counter. " No Eds, we can watch one later. You know I have to work on my important presentation for tomorrow. "
He groaned lazily and grabbed me by my shoulders, staring at me with those sad puppy eyes. " Pleaseeeee, just one movie. For me? " I let out a frustrated sigh before finally giving in and kicking my feet on the coffee table as he laid his head on my lap. " Just one movie alright? One "
He looked up at me and nodded with that pretty smile of his. As the movie began, it felt almost unreal that just a few years ago we had made it to the shelter and the world had finally picked itself up. All the creatures were eliminated and humans were now protected in shielded communities thanks to the council. I played with Eddie's soft curls and smiled knowing we were finally home.
To this day, I still hate frogs but find it quite ironic that the vile creature brought us together.
