Zombie Domination

Julian turned his eyes toward Aya, who was still standing near the door, fingers clenched tightly in front of her. "Why?" he asked simply.

Aya swallowed, her voice trembling, but her gaze was steady. "My father and little sister... they’re still out there. I don’t know where, but I can’t sit still. I have to try and find them."

She bowed deeply. "Please let me join your group."

Her words were quiet, almost shy, but filled with sincerity.

Julian looked at her in silence, thinking. Then, after a moment, he spoke.

"Alright. But there’s a condition. One rule before I let you in."

Aya lifted her head quickly. "I’ll do anything!" she said nervously.

Julian’s tone was calm. "You’ll have to sleep with me."

"Heeeeeeh!?!" Aya’s face exploded in red.

But before she could scream further, Clarissa raised a finger and gently used her telekinesis to clamp Aya’s mouth shut. "Shhh," she said with a soft smile. "Don’t be so loud."
