kamio

Time to test this string, Zeek thought excited to see the true power of his string.

44 day time skip. String style 100 shredding lashes, Zeek said as 20 razor sharp lashes extended from each one of his fingers, shredding the car he was using.

After all these days he had found his mask spread about 2 times slower, he also found that as the day's passed the power of his string and the control he had over it increased.

He was training so hard because he was worried.

He knew Ava's half mask awakening was tomorrow and it really concerned him

Over the last months he and Ava had become best friends, but there wasn't anything much he could do so all he could do was be there to support her.

After all, a first stage infected couldn't even compare to a second stage like him so even if she failed he would be fine.

The next day, Ava's pov. Hey Zeek it's finally time to unlock my power, Ava said optimistically.

Yeah just tell me what you got when you get it, Zeek said.

As the sun rises Ava felt a weird energy flooding her body and a strange connection to the shadows around her.

Shadow manipulation she whispered out as she felt her powers coming in.

She saw Zeek obviously watching in anticipation to see if she could get to second rank.

As she unlocked her powers she reach up to her mask and began to pull, finding surprisingly easy to rip her mask off… before promptly passing out right after.

Pov change Zeek. Well looks like I got to deal with this now, Zeek said as he dragged Ava to her bed before writing a note," Ava, recently I have noticed a increase in kco surveillance drones flying over head looking for me, once you wake up come into my storage unit and lift the top left floor board, there will be a hatch, go down into it.

Then follow the tunnel until you reach the shore. I'll be waiting with a boat. Ps I have already packed all the important stuff." Zeek wrote the note before leaving on her bedside table and leaving to go to his apartment, as he entered he lifted the floor board and entered the secret tunnel he had made in the last 45 days, he got a boat on the second day looking, it was the exact same as the one he used to get here, now he had to leave, he planned on going to somewhere is Asia.

After kamio appeared since Asia had such a massive population they had been overwhelmed by the infected in 6 months after it appeared making Asia the safest place for the infected to hide out. I'm going to tell Ava after she gets here but in the meantime I might as well prepare some more food for the trip, Zeek said as he cast his fishing line out.

Pov change Ava 2 hours later. Ava sat up and saw a piece of paper on her nightstand and read it, it read "Ava, recently I have noticed a increase in kco surveillance drones flying over head looking for me, once you wake up come into my storage unit and lift the top left floor board, there will be a hatch, go down into it.

Then follow the tunnel until you reach the shore. I'll be waiting with a boat. Ps I have already packed all the important stuff."

Really Zeek you couldn't have warned me before she groaned out still a little bit tired.

She got up and proceeded to enter Zeek's unit and lifting the floor board revealing the hatch.

As she entered she was shocked at how much he managed to do, it was a 2 mile long tunnel dug through stone, with this they'll never be able to track us she thought as she started running down the tunnel.

Five minutes of running later she finally arrived at the end of the tunnel and saw the boat and Zeek fishing on it.

She hopped on the boat and then went over to Zeek and bonked him on the head.

What was that for Zeek asked.

Why would you do all this without telling me first, she said angrily.

You don't even look sorry, she huffed out before sitting next to him and taking a fishing rod and beginning to fish with him.

Pov change Zeek I was peacefully fishing until I got bonked on the head and had Ava yelling at me and now she's peacefully fishing next to, sigh, I'll never understand that girl he thought before standing up.

I'm gonna set sail now I wouldn't recognize fishing while we're moving you won't catch anything Zeek said before dropping the sail and began his route towards what was South Korea, now known as the graveyard of Korea after both it and North Korea fell in 2065 before the rest of Asia followed suit.

2 hours later.Uhhh I'm so bored let's do something Ava groaned as she was flailing on the floor.

Ava stop acting like a child. Your responsibility is to watch the ship while I sleep and I can't sleep with you yelling Zeek yelled from under the deck clearly frustrated.

You should have brought something for me to do if you wanted me to stay quiet, she yelled back.

Zeek was now really frustrated, Ava if you don't shut up right now you're going overboard he yelled back.

Whatever but Asia better be worth weeks of boredom or you'll have to deal with a very angry Ava to deal with, Ava huffed out before going back to her duties of watching the open sea.

Zeek tried to get to sleep and after another hour he finally did.

Pov change Samuel. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU COULDN'T FIND THEM THEY WERE ON DRONE SURVEILLANCE 24/7 HOW DO YOU MESS SOMETHING UP THIS CATASTROPHICALLY, Samuel yelled at Dan.

Sir we went there and even checked their storage units and every other building thoroughly but there was nothing, we even did a full scan of the city and there were no signs of life, Dan reported.

Mark my words I will find him no matter where in America he goes.
