The woods were quite a ways away. In the time that the deer had been leaping its sensitive ears could detect the faint sound of speaking, and the even more familiar sound of panting. A dog, breathing from the mouth, alive and close by. Zombie Bambi stopped, his hoover clacking against the cement like a tiny horse as he flicked his decaying ears to and fro. The blonde hair hanging form his muzzle swayed in the breeze. It was very cool against the warmth in his belly. By al rights the deer should be full by now. He had hunted well, and the ancient instincts that he'd had when he were living were pressing him to find shelter for the oncoming night and rest with his full stomach.
The virus eating at his flesh had other thoughts. The impulse to hunt and keep hunting was slowly rewiring his older instincts. His belly felt less full now than it had been before. The blood had not even dried from his muzzle and he was once again hungry. Eat, hunt. There was no other way. He began to step in the direction he could detect the dog from. Where there were dogs, there were humans.
The deer kept a steady and yet silent pace. The face of the woman he had killed was still dragging along the ground as he stepped. Occasionally his hoof would come into contact with it. He stepped and jerked up with his head to tear at it piece by peace, not wanting to let go of his prize so easily even to himself. And so it was that Lalita's facial skin would begin to be chipped away as the deer continued to drag it by the roots.
Growing closer his sensitive nose began to prickle with the scent of the dog, as well as two distinct sets of humans. His nostrils flared as he detected gunpowder. They had weapons, this smell triggering the instincts he had when he was alive. However the rewiring of his brain demanded that he hunt them. He was hungry, and his hunger was worth facing weapons.
However he played this game smart. The human closest to the dog smell would be harder to hunt, and the deer was hungry but not hungry enough to die just yet. No, he needed the other scent. He slunk along the edges of buildings, following them for a little while. Then the moment was right, and he struck.
Kace was not expecting a zombie deer to charge at her out of nowhere. She lifted her weapon and aimed it at the deer. Her finger closed in on the trigger just as the deer would dodge without meaning to. The blood from his last victim made his hooves sleek against the pavement, his body rolling along the ground and narrowly avoid the brunt of the scatter shot. Like lightning the deer was on its feet and charged her before she could fire off another round. Antlers pierced skin in areas around her arms. She cried out and dropped the gun as the force of the deer running head-first into her would be too much to withstand.
The antlers pierced her flesh and made her cry out. The deer kept moving, intending to get his prey far away from the other human with the dog before he devoured it. His ears could hear the human screaming as his antlers dug into her flesh more. He lifted his massive head and began to toss her from side to side. She was skewered across his rack, his antlers going even further through her limbs. The edges of his antlers pierced the fabric of her shirt and sunk agonizingly slow into her lings. Kace's eyes were bulging from the pain as she screamed and blood began to heave up through her lungs.
"J-Jackson!" She tried to call out for help but the deer began to shake her body again, this time more furiously. "Ahh!" The tears were forced to her eyes as her life flashed before her. She could have lived with this, with dying at the mercy of a deer for ******** sake. But what killed her most, more than anything as her eyes began to slip into death was the thought that flickered through her mind.
She never did find Jon.
The deer was furious and ravenous. The human was impaled upon his antlers and he roared in his frustration. Her body was threatening to topple him forwards if he did not get her off of him soon. He shook his head to and fro, listening with his ultra sensitive ears as the screaming would end and her body would stop convulsing. Blood pooled from her like water and began to coat his antlers. With another shake her body flung off of his head and landed in the dirt beside the pavement. He hadn't taken her very far from her companion, but like with before he could care less what happened as long as he could eat.
He ignored the crying of the dog and settled instead for his freshly killed prey. The deer pawed at her body and tore chunks from her, the scalp and hair from the last victim lay somewhere on the pavement behind him. Bambi would begin to feast again and use his serrated hooves to get the juiciest bits from her warm carcass. It took a matter of seconds for him to have his fill, and yet again his ears could pin p***k the sounds of the undead stirring into motion and coming to find the source of the gun noise. He took one more mouthwatering bite before beginning to leap away into the distance once more. Kill, eat and run. The method to his survival.
It might not be now, or for a while, but make no mistake.
Zombie Bambi will return.
