Pigeon and Hecatia followed Kitty in silence. Pigeon wondered why Kitty kept referring to her as a half zombie; she was pretty sure the zombie virus had left her after Kyllorac's reviewing, but maybe the after affects of the virus (such a slightly green tinge to her feathers) must have been confusing Kitty. She understood why people would think Hecatia was infected though; Hecatia had a tendency to glomp people, and to say :nod: instead of nodding her head, at the best of times.
Kitty stopped suddenly, causing Pigeon to tread on her heels.
"Look" Kitty said, "up there." She pointed to a large rock, which appeared to have someone sitting on it.
"Is that a YWSer?" Hecatia asked.
In response to their voices, the person on the rock peered over the edge.
"I think so." Said Kitty. "How are we going to get them down? That rock is surrounded by zombies." After a moments thought she continued, "and you two half-zombies aren't much help."
Pigeon began again to protest that she was no longer a zombie, then shrugged and decided not to bother. Instead she said, "I can fly up and see who it is. Then maybe Hecatia can fight a few zombies off and make a path for us."
"Yeah!" cried Hecatia. "I have a sword!"
Pigeon reached up and snatched the sword from the YWS logo.
"Here, Kitty, you can take this and help Hecatia. I won't be able to fly with it."
Kitty shook her head. "That's not my kind of weapon. Haven't you ever heard the saying 'the pen is mightier than the sword'?" She reached up and took the pencil from the YWS logo. "Well, it's not quite a pen, but it'll have to do. Okay, Pigeon, go tell whoever's up there that we're on our way."
Pigeon obediently dropped her sword, which was picked up by Hecatia ("I have two swords!", she cried gleefully.), and fluttered away to the rock where she found Scarlett. Kitty and Hecatia soon fought their way up and joined them atop the rock.
They were just getting ready to fight their way back through the hoard when they spotted Lumi and Chibibo, closely followed by Charlie, closely followed by a hoard of his own.
"My Lumi!" Kitty grinned. "...and Chibibo and Charlie"
"Yes," said Scarlett, "and a whole lot of zombies."
