The Beginning Of The End

Chapter 8

We turn the corner to find ourselves on a hilltop and  that we can see the whole city from the hilltop that we are on. And on the center of the city is what looks like a huge hoard of zombies. All coming this way.

(Angeline) "Oh my god... Let's go back, we probably have an hour until they swarm this section of the city."

  (Erick) "Okay, but we'll need to resupply soon, I saw a un-looted  gun store as we were running from the armored zombies."

 "Okay, but we'll have to be quick about it, because if we have to use any ammunition on any local zombies, then we'll attract the hoard this way because of am echo that would happen, because of no cars and no people in the streets, and they'll come running at us,  at full speed."

As we start walking, towards the edge of town,  it's clear that some people have been here.  And just as I was about to suggest that this was a bad idea. A car across the street from us was blown up.  By what seemed to have been some sort of bomb that was remote operated.

(Erick) "Holly s**t,  that almost took off my arm."

It was at that moment that we realized the problem in this situation.  That was a huge truck and a the bomb was very loud... That zombie hoard has to of herd that, and have to be coming this way.  In realizing this we all decide to take shelter,  but we have no idea which house or building these punk ass people are in.  So we'll have to be careful.

We step inside a small business building,  which is very dark,  only to find an ambush waiting for us... We hear a deep raspy voice tell us to surrender our weapon's or else they will kill one of us.  Just as this was said,  we heard a choking sound coming from Angeline... 

  "Let her go,  there's no need for this... We can all be civilized people."

"No,  give us your weapons or the girl dies. "

(Josiah)  "Hey,  listen.  There is a huge hoard of zombies coming this way... We saw them on the hilltop when we were scouting.  And they are not like other zombies... Some of them look radioactive for some reason they have mutated and are growing muscles and gaining more mentality back,  other words being smarter. They are bugger,  stronger,  and faster.  And there is a huge hoard coming right to the sound and smell of that truck you guys blew up."

"How should I trust you? "

(Josiah)  "You may not be able to trust me... But if you don't want to be eaten by one of those disgusting zombies,  then I'd ether start running and let us go,  or we could go about a block towards the zombies and go into an un-looted gun store and hold up in there until the zombies come,  or we can just become a team.  Maybe.  The more the merrier, right? "

"Okay,  we'll let you go... But only because we don't know where the gun store is.. And I think I recognize you from somewhere."

"Oh you probably have seen me on YouTube... Hi I am Jason Lennox I can literally survive on any call of duty zombie game and never die. But that doesn't mean in real life. Just letting you know. "

                                                                                           ***

It takes us about 30 minutes to get to the gun store.  And when  we get the front doors of the place. We are pleased to find the door locked and not broken into what so ever... But how will we get inside... I start to panic as we can now see the beginning of the huge hoard down the street.

"Oh,  don't worry I worked here I've got a key.... I actually got fired the day before the plauge took hold."

(Angeline)  "Oh,  well isn't that a surprise."

We open the door just in time,  the front line radioactive  zombies have seen us and are running at surprisingly fast speeds for a zombie at least. 

 "Goddamn, did you see how fast those radioactive zombies were.  They were as fast as a freaking car." I say is we enter the building.

"Yeah,  but we should be safe in here for now.  Let's get our guns and get out of here. Hey I'm Chad by the way.  Sorry for being so rude,  its been hard, being alone and on the run from these zombies.

We were all talking when the zombies started t become restless and started banging their body against the glass window and door. They have enough force to crack the window.

(Chad) "Um, do we  need to do something about that? They are cracking the glass window and door?!"

"No, if we fire on them that'll just attract more of the hoard this way, lets take the back door and hope they aren't out there too."

We start doubting even leaving the store, but soon the thought of staying is out of question, when one of the radioactive zombies breaks down the window and a bunch of the zombies come charging in.

(Erick)" Yeah, lets go!!"

We run for the back door and open it, only to find that it sets off an alarm in the building.

(Angeline)" Oh god, were so dead now, If we hurry we can go to one of those tall buildings over their and camp out on the roof until the zombies pass by."

"Good idea, lets go!"

We'all run for the cities biggest building and open the door, thank god it is unlocked, we head to the roof, only killing three zombies on the way up. We head to the roof, to find that some people were trying to camp up here before us, but when the virus went airborne they must have turned, because there are like 10 of them up here. We take them out with no resistance, and find that these people had a lot of food stocked up, as they had sixteen coolers packed with food to the brim, with ice and everything. 

Then we herd a voice. Coming from a locked door, it sounded like a scared girl.

We go to the door, and ask if they are alright, when they hear our voice, the quiets down, and opens the door a little bit.

"Oh, my god, Is that you Jason!?"

"Oh great, another fan."

"No Jason its me. Ashlen, your sister."

 "Ashlen, theirs now way, how did you make it all the way here?"

(Ashlen) "Well i was taken an hour after you, as their was another message on the news saying not to trust the people who are taking the nerds and geeks as they are going to use them to create the cure...by pumping them dry of their blood. When they got you, I freaked, I couldn't let that happen to you. So i took one of their hummers and followed the helicopter that you were on. But when i got there they had you already. And they saw me in the drivers seat. And were aiming guns at me. Scared i didn't know what to do, but that's when i realized that in the back seat of the hummer was this odd looking weapon that said use in case of emergency...i figured it was an emergency and shot it through a hole in the window. And let me tell you, they turned into a pile of guts and bloody gore. I think they started this whole thing. Because i saw dead people that i killed from that base, well they just got back up, that's why i used that weapon...i think that they have been tested on, to be unable to die."

 "Yes they did...they were trying to create a cure for death. And what... I didn't know that they actually succeed in creating a cure for death. We need to stay far away from them as possible. They are dangerous, and will kill us."

"We'll have to stay on this rooftop as their is a huge hoard of zombies down their, we were trying to escape them...have you learned to fire an actual gun yet?"

(Ashlen) "Hey i'm your sister, if you can do it, i can do it. I mean, you did teach me your ways, with zombies."

 "Like I've been telling everyone, that's on a game, not in real life. It is way different, guns can knock you down flat on your feet if you aren't skilled with them."

(Ashlen) "I can learn, teach me... I mean, we are survivors of the zombie apocalypse after all. So we'll have t all work together."

 "Okay, we can learn tomorrow, its gotta be like 5:00 pm and its hot as hell, so lets get something to eat and drink, and call it a night."

We'all go for the coolers and take out a bottle of Pepsi and some lunch meat sandwiches.

"How did you find all of this food?"

(Ashlen) "Oh, i shot them all with the false cure that i found in the hummer, because they were trying to kill me. and they turned within minutes, then I stomped on them as they started to decompose due to the virus eating at their insides.  And just with my luck I found these coolers in the backseat of the hummer and with ice still un-melted."

(Me) "Damn, you are good"

(Angeline) "Alright lets get some sleep, I'm so effing tired from running for my life, like all day every day, the last few weeks".

And with that said, we'all got a sleeping bag out of our military style backpack and laid it down on the cold cement and fell right to sleep.
