Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Third Time's a Charm

I didn't know if he didn't hear me or just chose to ignore me, but the thug in front of me didn't even bother to look at me or address me.

"Dead or alive?" he asked, staring straight at Liu Yu Zeng as if I didn't exist.

"I would be very careful if I were you," said Chen Zi Han as he stepped toward the man claiming to be him. "It would not take much to send you to Hell for your disrespect."

The men beside the fake raised their guns at the threat, but the fake simply laughed it off. "If he has lost his balls, that is fine. No point in having him lose his life for some broad." He turned his attention back to my men, thinking he was getting away with shit simply because he was facing me but staring over my head.

"If you are ready?" he asked sarcastically, not really caring one way or another.

"Sure," said Liu Yu Zeng as he placed his hand on the small of my back and escorted me to the damaged front doors. Seeing the jagged edges of the glass, he scooped me up in his arms and carried me across it, not putting me down until he determined that it was safe.

I smiled at him and rose to my toes to give him a kiss. "Thank you," I said, looking him in the eyes.

"Anything for you," he reassured me.

"How sweet. Her pussy must be some good for two guys to be willing to give up their balls for it."

Something deep inside me wanted to leap across the distance that separated us, hold him down, and pull out his tongue. I wasn't sure what it was. Whether it was a result of waking up and choosing violence, being unable to commit the aforementioned violence, or simply a lack of food and coffee, I had to work to keep myself still.

'Submit or die,' came a voice inside my head, and I was getting a little tired of sorting them all out.

'Didn't you disappear when I forced the zombie to submit?' I asked, not understanding what was going on.

'That was dominance,' came the voice with a definite sneer to her tone. Apparently, my personalities didn't like each other.

'And you would be violence?' I asked sarcastically as my four men surrounded me, and we began walking forward into the darkness. Cerberus and the bikes had vanished, but that was a good thing. We needed to know where the compound was, and these guys were our best way of finding it.

Because, let's face it, if we didn't need them, none of us would have kept them alive this long.

'I would be the one that helped you make the right decisions,' snapped the voice.

'Then what should I consider you? The psychopath? The killer?' I asked just as I almost tripped over a stone or something. It was so dark that I could barely see my hand in front of my face. I just hoped there weren't any zombies around because I didn't think I would be able to see them either.

There was a moment of silence as Liu Yu Zeng steadied me. "You okay? Did you want me to carry you?" he asked as he ran his hand up and down my back in a soothing manner. I didn't know if he meant to soothe himself or me, but it was still a nice gesture.

"I am fine," I assured him. "I'll let you know as soon as that changes."

"Make sure you do. I am sure that Chen Zi Han wouldn't hesitate to slit my throat if I let you fall or get hurt," joked Liu Yu Zeng. I lightly slapped him across the chest as I rolled my eyes. There was no way that Chen Zi Han would kill him for something like that.

"He's not wrong," said Chen Zi Han as he came over to my other side. "I would."

'Just call me violence,' came the voice in my head from out of the blue.

'I am pretty sure that that is what I called you,' I said, not concerned that I was no longer actively participating in the conversation with Liu Yu Zeng and Chen Zi Han. The Saints were getting used to me just drifting off and not paying attention lately.

"Is the voice back?" growled Chen Zi Han into my ear. I grabbed his hand as I once again stumbled over something on the road. I was just praying that it wasn't a body part or something. I really didn't want to get that crap on my shoes. The smell was a bitch to get out.

"Not crazy," I said with a smile as I looked over at him. I couldn't make out the expression on his face, but I took pleasure in his mere presence. "This one is violence."

"That one might be useful soon," said Liu Yu Zeng overhearing the conversation.

"Not sure," I admitted with a shrug. "This one seems to have the ability to move my body," I continued as I looked down at the ground before me.

"We won't let it do anything you don't want it to do," reassured Chen Zi Han. But I think that was the biggest part of the problem. Every thought in my head was something that I wanted to do, just not sure if I should.

'I was the one you let out the most,' said Violence, and I could almost feel my shoulders shrugging with her words. 'It made things easier on you when you had to deal with certain aspects of your role.'

'Like what?' I asked her, not noticing that the two guys had each taken a hand and were guiding me through the obstacles on the road.

'Nice try, you aren't there yet,' chuckled the voice, and I was surprised that it was able to do that. I found that most of my personalities were pretty one-dimensional. Crazy was crazy. She wasn't icy or violent. She was just… crazy. I thought this voice would be the same.

'Like I said, I was the one you turned to most. For a long time, it was just you and me. The others didn't come along until recently.'

'Any clue what caused it?' I asked, at this point any information would be helpful.
