Wandering Through Horror land

[25 Years earlier...]

Fresh eyes opened for the first time in a hospital room. Bright white light shined down on the newborn as it took in the medical equipment, simple tiled floor, and blue sheets stained with blood while being pulled away from her mother to be examined by the doctors. 

"Well, looks like someone is ready to see the world, aren't we?" The doctor said as amber eyes gazed around the room and at him. The check was quick and he found no medical issues before walking over back to the mother who took the child lovingly and let it rest against her chest. "Your daughter is beautiful, and from what I can tell, as healthy as could be." The Mother nodded and looked down at the sweet little girl. 

"Hello my little surprise miracle" she said to the child grasping unconsciously at her finger as she touched the small palm.

The little newborn blinked as she continued to take stock of the situation around her and realized she was reincarnated.

"Well, looks like I must start from the bottom all over again hmm? At least this world seems more advanced than my first life. I even have parents." The child thought as she tried to absorb all she could. Above the women a man was gripping his hand as it racked with pain, given his wife's aggressive strength. He smiled down at his second child with mirth as she looked right at him.

"Welcome to the world sweetheart, if a bit late in the game for us" the man said. His wife gazed at him with a frown and he just chuckled. It was true that both were in their early forties and weren't expecting the pregnancy. 

"Oh Whatever, go call our son and let him know that his little sister is happy and healthy" The mother said and the father obliged and left as the nurses continued to clean up both the room and her. They would have to take the child for a few more tests but could wait to give the two a bonding moment. As the father left the room and took off his scrubs he pulled out his phone and made a call. it ringed maybe once before being picked up.

"What's the word old man" a southern draw rang out that made the father chuckle. 

"You've got a happy and healthy baby sister, Texas boy" the father said, making his son on the line chuckle. 

"Aww, come on pops, you know Florida is still in my blood" he said earning a chuckle from both the father and a feminine laugh from the phone. 

"Yeah, well now that your mother has a second child even before her first grandchild from her married son, we best hear some good news soon you hear" the father sarcastically demanded. It earned some laughter as the son responded.

"Oh don't you worry, we're working on it" he chuckled out, earning him a slap on the chest from what the father could hear. "Oh! what name did you guys finally decide on" The father smiled as he looked back to the delivery room doors.

"Nora," the man said.

[One Year Later- in a two-story home in Tallahassee, FL]

"Looks like she's enjoying the game" a blonde haired young man laughs as he watches his baby sister in front of him. The infant is gazing at the T.V. screen as it plays the current football game. The young man's father, sitting close, laughs with him and shakes his head. 

"Probably, the girl absorbs just about all she can on the damn thing whenever we put her in front of it. Couldn't give a sh- darn about any toys as they just bore her to death. Hel- heck, she was watching the local news with me when she woke us up this morning." The younger man raised a brow at his dad before bringing his eyes to the back of his little sister's bald head. He's quick to feel a jab in his side as his father elbows him with a playful frown. "Your mother is convinced that she's gonna be just like you and her and head to college for some fancy degree!" 

"Oh stop it hon, you make it sound like having a trade like you is a bad thing. Who knows, she might pick up wielding, carpentry, or heavens above...Plumbing" the Young man's mother says as she walks in with snacks. Behind her is a young woman, the young man's wife, who's carrying drinks.

"Dinners in, should be ready in about an hour" the younger women says as they all sit down and start just talking about this and that. As they do, Nora tunes them out and looks inward as her eyes keep on the game. While she had picked up English awhile ago, she still wanted a better picture about the world's strongest sects, the laws that govern the lesser people, and where her new family stood. From what it seemed, given the house she was currently living in, Nora was getting the sense she came from the high commoner class. It wasn't the best start like a noble or royalty class, but it will keep her from standing out too much when starts to make a name for herself. 

Unlike her father and brother's thoughts about her liking the game, she was actually simply listening to the commentary while taking the deepest breaths her tiny body could. With every breath she drew in the stagnant energy of her surroundings. It wasn't the purest by far, but it would do for now as she cycled it through her core and body, strengthening her physical self ever so slowly. Only when these "ads" came on talking about products or places did Nora pay closer attention. She had reached the heavens in her first life, and she would again. First though was the need for knowledge to know how to act...

#####

[Eleven years later-in a two-story home in Tallahassee, FL]

The soft sound of socks on carpet drifted out mid day as Nora flung her body in practiced forms. It was her own martial style she developed over thousands of years of combat, and one her new body had to get used to. She was already sweating and sore, but the body refining meditation session after this would help heal her for the next day. She unwillingly sighed as she thought about the mundane "middle school life" she had to endure at the moment. This world was strange in a way. Unlike her past life where no matter how rich or powerful a city was, it was governed by brute power and nothing else. Eat or be eaten as her new father would say as he watched the news of "Politics."

Yet this world had somehow allowed the weak to control the strong. It seemed that the arts of cultivation were non-existent, or heavily neutered to the point where it was just myth to society. Due to this, it was more favorable to sing sweeter words then swing a faster blade. Or hold a larger army, then be an army of one. It allowed these "politicians", old, fat, weak looking men and women, to lead the world with promises with no backing or capability to make sure they owned up to them. Yet while this was true for some of the world's countries, it wasn't for others. It was in these third world countries that rang the closest to Nora's past life. Physical might, still with armies unfortunately for her, were the only ones that she could have been more comfortable with. 

"Nora, come down for dinner my A+ baby girl!" her mother shouted, making her finish her final strike and resetting to a standing position. 

"Okay, Mama!" Nora shouted in a richer pitch than one would expect from her. Breathing hard she looked at herself in the mirror and the near white blonde hair that dawned her face. A face that had already caught the attention of beauty pageant producers, sleazy men and women who held nasty ideas, and the boys in school who started puberty. Stretching while cycling her energy to help heal her body, she thought about her own puberty and the annoyance of the girls in her classes. Her, "Blooming" as her mother put it, had been a cause of jealousy for the girls around her. Thanks to her Cultivation boosting her growth she had formed the makings of a teenage body that one would call "Jailbait" by the time she hit high school. Finishing her stretch and wiping off sweat she ran down stairs to enjoy her family time.

#####

[Six years later- House in Texas]

"Well, that's the last box!" Nora's brother said as he wiped his hands from the dirt and dust the box had on it from her parents car. Nora smiled with a nod as she was starting to set up the new room to her liking. Highschool had come and gone, a blur of self conscious kids trying to form their own personalities one mistake at a time. Nora had mostly ignored and was ignored during these years as her now six foot, well toned yet curvaceous body, and exemplary beauty of a face had made her impossible to approach. Even the horniest and popular of boys had felt she was out of their league. 

That was the past though, and today was her first step into higher education. Well, what most would think was her first step. This college life was simply needed to obtain a piece of paper that told the world that her knowledge was recognized, while her actual education, if one had kept track, would show her having a rather deep knowledge base to the point of holding quite a few degrees. Still, it's what her parents wanted, and what was needed in this world to reach the top. Her cultivation was progressing well and to say she was the strongest in this world wouldn't be a stretch in the slightest. Still, it would take time for her to reach the peak once again, let alone break past it. 

As Nora continued to unpack she heard her mother crying again. With a smile she looked over to see the late fifties women holding a small baby boy as she gazed at Nora. 

"Ohhh, my baby girl's all grown up," she cried. 

"Mama, you're gonna wake my nephew with all that happy crying" Nora said. Her mother tried to calm down as she rocked the sleeping newborn. 

"I know, I know, shhhh you're gonna be okay" her mother said looking down at the newborn. Nora smiled sadly at little buck and the tragic birth that brought him into this world. When she was younger she didn't know why her brother and his wife hadn't had a child for so long. Only during high school was she told about how her sister in-law suffered certain medical issues that made conception a risky proposition. Still, she wanted to try anyway, and it cost her everything when she accomplished it. She had passed and left her brother as a widowed father with a newborn baby boy. This also caused Nora to find a university in texas to help her brother care for the child, as she didn't want her family to suffer anymore then it already had. 

She wasn't a saint by any means, but she wasn't so cold hearted to not care for her own blood.

[Five Years later-Z Day] *Small Graphic description of zombie attack*

"Yes brother dearest, I'm picking him up right now" Nora said in a southern twang over the phone. Nora smiled as she pulled into the daycare center and parked her massive truck. 

"Okay, sorry, today just feels off..." Her brother said as she popped the door open and stepped out into the Texas heat. taking a breath and stretching she frowned. Her own divine sense was raising her hackles as she walked to the front door. 

"You're not alone there...I'll call you when he's in the car okay?" Nora said as she noticed that there was nobody in the front lobby of the daycare from the other side of the glass door. 

"Thanks, appreciate you sis" her brother said before hanging up. She tried to smirk but as she touched the door handle everything felt wrong. No, it felt sick in ways that made her worry for her nephew. Still, she tempered her response as she opened the door, as she didn't want to end up in the news by ripping a metal and glass door off its hinges. That changed however as the copper scent of fresh blood struck her nose and soon the door was flying away at a considerable speed. Immediately her senses, which she suppressed most of the time as to keep her reactions to a human level, were dialed to ten as she moved like lighting through the daycare. It wasn't a big building and as such didn't take her any time to clock and catalog everything down to the dust in the air. 

The Lobby, while originally thought to be deserted, was actually hiding a half eaten receptionist behind the counter. 

"Animals?" she thought as she moved past the scene to a long hallway with sets of doors on both sides. Buck's room was the furthest right, and from what she could see open and marred with bloody handprints. As she dashed through the hall she saw each door bashed open and blood soaked bodies...child bodies on the floor. It caused her to move even faster as each new room told her what she was dealing with. As some of those bodies were twitching and moving, rising from the ground. This was the undead, necromantic practices, and a death sect's bread and butter. Yet, it was too bloody, too wasteful for them, and too weak of a subject to want to rise as soldiers. No, the dead were rising but no one was controlling them. 

"It's just fucking zombies!" Nora shouted as she came to the end of the hall and saw both a horrific sight. A few dead had broken into this room, grotesquely feasting on the body of the classroom teacher, and the few children she was in charge of. If Nora hadn't been a cultivator for thousands of years, she would have been mentally scarred at the sight of the half eaten children. Thankfully she was cold to the act and moved with arms as hard as steel as she ripped apart the threat that was present. The slaughter was quick and she now stood with blood soaked arms, in a blood soaked room, with not a sign of living to be seen. Gazing at the bodies, she started to shake as she checked each one of the small half eaten children for the worst sight of this new life. 

Each face she knew as she had picked up Buck a few times. Trisha, Mark, Nina, Josh, Jenna. all were bright smiles and happy children, now dead and likely to rise given enough time. Still she checked each face and had not found Buck yet. It was a good sign, but maybe he was moved to a different classroom, or had been taken to the bathroom and already turned and risen to feast on the living. She kept her breath steady as she turned to leave and check the rest of the rooms when she heard the sweetest sound of the day. 

"*Hunk* ~AUNTY~!" Buck cried out as a cabinet door burst open, showing a scared toe headed Buck. The little scamp loved to play hide and seek at home with her, and today that had saved him. Buck crawled out and ran to Nora with tears blinding him fully. He made it barely a step when Nora met him and picked him up to hold close. The boy buried his face into her shoulder crying harder and harder at the horror around them. 

"Shhh, aunties got you Bucky, you're safe from the monsters now" Nora said calmly as she dashed out of the room. As the boy cried she rubbed his back softly hoping he was still young enough to suppress or cope from today's horrors. Her speed had to slow given Buck being in her arms, but none of the recently risen teachers and children managed to block the two from running outside the daycare, nor to Nora's truck. Opening it quickly she put Buck in his booster seat, and then leapt over the roof to get to the driver's side. As she got in she pulled out her phone and called her brother. It didn't ring more than a second before he picked up. 

"Nora! Get to Buck NOW! Things are going to Fucking HELL!" Her brother shouted out as the sound of gunfire cracked out from his end.

"I know, I've got him" Nora said as she quickly checked over her nephew and found not a single scratch. her arms had stained his clothes red, but he himself was fine. "It's fucking zombies! get home and get home quick! we need to regroup" Nora shouted before starting the truck and hitting the gas as the first few dead from the daycare ran out to find their first meal. 

"Oh god bless small miracles!" her brother shouted as more gunfire sounded out, and what sounded like the screech and growl of chainsaws. "I'll be home soon, keep him and yourself-" was all that got out before a dial tone rang out before being replaced by an auto message.

"We're sorry, but there seems to be a problem with your local cell tower. Please wait as we try to fix the situation." Nora ended the call and hoped that her brother was going to make it. No, he would, that man wouldn't be stopped by a few dead fucks. For now she just had to get home, and then figure out what to do next together…

#####

[2-months later]

"Something happened," Nora gasped out as she opened her eyes and flung herself out of bed. she could feel it. Her cultivation, something that even now she kept personally suppressed to not make a splash in the living world and to not freak out her brother in the now apocalyptic world they found themselves in, had suddenly been put under a lock and key that she had no control over. It wasn't hard to feel the powerful entity that bulldozed through her soul and simply overpower it in Nora's weakened state of new life. It still didn't make her feel any better though as her most powerful asset in this life had just been suppressed permanently for all she knew. 

"No, calm down" Nora said as she dropped back into her bed and gazed at the sleeping form of her brother and four year old Buck. Her sudden leap from sleep seemed to have gone unnoticed by the two in the other bed. Cheap as the motel they rested at was, the carpet was thick enough to hide her spastic movement. closing her eyes she found her core and examined the suppression. It was solid, yes, enough to show the strength of the entity that bound her, but when she cycled her cores gathered energy she found that her body easily flowed the new power through her limps as if she was unsuppressed in the first place. "So you've limited my strength but not my ability to grow?" she thought as she took another deep breath to calm her now untensing body. 

if she wasn't being spiritually suppressed then that meant Nora could likely break out of the hold this entity had over her one day. The question now remained was why had she been suppressed in the first place. Her divine sense, now weaker given the shell of suppression her body had, could sense that neither her brother or Bucky was affected like she was. Making her wonder just how she had been spotted in the first place, and why now and not when she was just getting started? 

#####

"Today truly was coming up fucking wonderfully strange it would seem" Nora thought as she twisted her neck sideways enough to see the four new additions to the car. she couldn't help but giggle as she did given the seating arrangement they had ended up with. Salem and Big Valley were sharing with the shorter girl on the Valley's lap, while Yellowstone gave his lap to the twig. you could tell the boys weren't happy in the slightest and when Salem had taken a moment to take a snap shot with her phone as the boys got seated, you could see the revenge that Yellowstone would give her. When she saw the hopeful sin in Salem's eyes, she understood the relationship with the two better.

Shaking her head and getting back on track Nora gazed at the twig who seemed to gaze at her with romance music playing in his head, she dismissed promptly as a non threat, and not very interesting. Honestly he reminded her of the college and high school boys who wanted her, but didn't know how to approach her without seeming desperate. The other three though? They were the next piece in the enigma that was her newfound suppression it would seem. She could tell almost immediately that the three were also under the same suppression, but yet their souls weren't as old as hers. Nor did she see or feel a strength in their bodies that would require the suppression to begin with.

That brought up more questions, questions that she hoped the three could answer. Nora felt like they knew something given their micro flashes of shock and confusion at her presence. The fact that their shock then flicked to immediate wariness and defensive posturing, told her that they could taste her bloodlust. That made the blonde smirk as she hadn't seen that level of danger sense since her past life of killing to the top. She shifted back to gaze down the trashed highway her Brother was driving down as she simply waited for the right moment to speak to the three. 

###

While Nora was thinking this the four new additions were having their own thoughts on the subject of the blonde.

"Who the fuck is she?" Akane silently thought to herself as she gazed at the blonde's back. To say she was pissed was an understatement given the fact that said blonde had taken one look at her and didn't even flinch! Tally flinched! Leah flinched! every movie they have been in, no one didn't flinch when they took stock of her! Yet this woman gazed at her as if looking at her like...like she was a child again! Like her parents looked at her before juvie! like...Logan looked at her. She bit her lip and looked away from the woman as she did her best to push the horny out of her mind. For all that she was a Don't fuck with me or I'll cut your dick off kind of woman, she enjoyed the ones who could make her heel.

As Akane struggled with her horny nature, Leah hugged her tightly as she let her head rest on the smaller woman's shoulder. Her eyes were glued to the blonde's back and even tensed again when she saw her slicked her eyes back to gaze at them. A threat for sure was all her mind had come up with as she looked at the woman but when she felt her lover shake in a way that spoke of lust she craned her neck to gaze at the side of Akane's face. She saw frustration for sure, but also a bit of want as the Asian gazed at the blonde in the passenger side seat. That made her pause a bit as she looked back at the blonde. "So either we're going to kill her, or we're going to have a four way?" Leah thought before just sighing and keeping her eyes on the blonde. It wasn't her job to make the call as she made her place with the two clear given the choker around her neck still. 

Panning over to the other side of the back seat showed Logan gazing out the window as he held some rather interesting thoughts. His father had trained him too well to not spot everything about the blonde that was wrong, and what was wrong was everything. her hands were soft, yet her stance told of training in the art of killing. Her smile was pure, yet her eyes were old and calculating. Her knowledge and familiarity with Tallahassee was solid and spoke of years of knowing each other, yet he knew that she was just like they were, or at least in a similar situation.

Akane had sent a text to him silently when they got into the car that she was getting reincarnation vibes from the woman, but the fact she looked at them like they were just as new as Columbus meant that she had no knowledge of what story she was in. Not a bad thing he knew, but that threat he felt from her made him worry of having the conversation of who they really were to begin with. When they stopped next he would just have to speak with the girls to see if they should ditch the plot and just hang out for the next six years on their own.

 shifting the view forward a bit from Logan's gaze out the window, showed Columbus and his gaze at the back of Orlando's head. He was deep into an internal monologue as he imagined how he would start the next conversation with the woman. Was this his chance for love in the most unlikely scenario? when would he get another chance like this! he looked at the other two women and how they had made it clear they were doing a poly thing with Logan, something he could understand on a primitive standing given Logan's physical aspect. Yet, hopefully this one wouldn't turn out to also want the man who already had two girls with him right? As he, and the three movie goers were mentally taking stock The young boy in the middle of the four finally made his presence known.

"Hello" rang out next to the four in the back and they all looked down at the other addition that shouldn't exist. A bright blue eyed boy no older than five best any of the four could guess. He was staring back and forth from Akane and Leah, to Logan and Columbus with wonder in his eyes. "My name is Buck! what's yours" he asked. 

"Bucky, we talked about this," Tallahassee said while looking in the rearview mirror, "No names for anyone other than me and your aunt." Buck looked to his dad's smiling eyes in the reflection and gave a nod as if he knew that all along. 

"I know, I meant their nicknames," Buck answered his father with a knowing smirk. He then looked back to the four with bright expectant eyes to his question. Akane and Logan both snorted while Columbus and Leah smirked at the little ball of sunshine.

"Salem" Akane said as she pointed to herself with a quick wave to herself. "Big Valley, Yellowstone, and Columbus" she said next while pointing to the other three in the back. Buck grew wide eyed at that and smiled bright as he pointed to Akane. 

"That's where witches come from! Are you a witch?" He asked and the Asian woman snorted once more before grinning wide. 

"That depends, do you know what witches do with little boys like you?" Akane said while looking down at the boy. The boy nodded and held up a finger.

"Yep, you'll try to make me drink a potion then steal my youth!" he said, making a few in the car chuckle. 

"That's the Sanderson sisters kid, Think Hansel and Gretel" Akane mumbled out under the chuckles to Buck. Buck blinked and frowned with a nod as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. 

"You would fit in an oven so I guess that does make more sense" He declared making the car erupt into more laughter, With Akane's Husband and lover joining in at the hidden and likely accidental dig at her shorter height. Akane flinched at the dig as everyone laughed, her eyes growing slitted as she side eyed the kid in the booster seat. 

"well played brat, well played..." Akane said to the confused toddler who wondered why everyone laughed at what he said. The next hour on the road was filled with more questions as Buck asked question after question, some pointed and situationally correct to ask, while most were nonsensical curiosity that any child just must need to know. There even became a heated discussion on superheroes between Akane and Columbus after Buck asked everyone who their favorite was. Thankfully that ended when Tallahassee flicked his gaze down the wrecked highway and spotted a prize that couldn't be missed. Orlando, doing her best to ignore the shouting match starting up in the back seat, felt her brother slow down and shifted to take a look at what had caught his attention.

"Oh my god, really?" Orlando said with a sigh while glaring at her brother. 

"What, you said Buck was hungry did you not?" Tallahassee said while pulling over to a broken part of the safety railing that rain parallel to the highway. down below said broken section was a crashed Hostess truck that strangely looked near untouched by nature nor the tree it had crashed into. 

"Yes, but he needs protein not refined sugar Tally" she said with a sigh as her brother popped out of the car, the back seat following as Logan and Leah carried the two diehard comic fans away long enough to end their tirade. That just left Bucky buckled into his booster seat and her before she gave Bucky a smile. "Sorry, Buddy but it looks like your father is still looking for that Twinkie." 

"It's okay Aunt Nora, I would like to have one again too" Buck said with a happy smile that made her smile even more. 

"Yes, but even if he does find one, we're still going to stop at the supermarket to get you some chicken nuggets for some protein. Maybe cook you a real meal with some actual frozen chicken in the back of the place if we're lucky" Nora said offhandedly as she flicked her eyes over to the three new strangers who were watching Columbus doing calisthenics next to her brother. "Still, with the added bodies we can also pick up some snacks as well I would think" she commented while gazing at the three while her brother dragged the twig down the hill to the hostess truck. "Perfect to get an understanding of who those three really are."

(A/N- Okay so like I've said before but I'm going to be sending them to anime worlds after the Zombieland movies, for both fun and to give them a power boost to have when I start dropping them in supernatural horror, superhero, fantasy, etc. Now, I've always liked cultivation as a catch all power base. It can fit almost anywhere and I'll be giving a dumb down and easy to understand version for this fanfic. I'm going to add anime Shonen powers to flavor it when they get to those worlds, but I hope no ones turned off on this path, as I'm enjoying people reading my first fanfic, and don't want them to get bored. Please know that like I said before they will be suppressed when necessary so nothings a cake walk. A good example is Nora as she could pull off a metal glass door with ease before the Cineplex grabbed onto her soul. Now she's just as strong as an Olympian athlete. now onto another subject...I've recently got into the "Wifu Catalog" and a few fanfics that have done it in a way I like. I've starting writing my own as a secondary story so I don't burn myself out writing this Fanfic (I know it's been a month since dropping the last remake chapter). It would be a shift to a solo male, power fantasy, catch a few highly exotic women, sex scene included story to help my writing in that subject matter. It will be a back burner story so updates will be slow going.
