The Apocalypse

6

Alex even though he was the one who helped Lisa put the sleeping d**g in the Mars bars because he was the one who killed her. I started helping people get rid of their binds while keeping an eye on Alex in case he tried anything. But he didn't. He just stayed where he was and didn't move. I started to feel sorry for him when he said, 

"It's all your fault she's dead." 

At that moment all my sympathy for him dissipated. I almost strangled him again. But before I could make a move, Chesper put her hand on my shoulder and shook her head slightly. I huffed angrily and continued untying a little girl who had just woken up and was crying for her parents. 

"Shh, it's ok honey. What's your name?" I asked her.

 "Alice."

We all looked at each other with a  sad look on our faces. Alice's mum and dad were killed in the zombie raid. 

"I'm sorry Alice, but your parents are dead," I said. That's when Chesper slapped me on the back of my head and gave me the look that read, You dumbass you're supposed to look for them then say you can't find them. But before I could say anything, Alice started crying and screaming. Chesper hugged her and was whispering that it was going to be ok into Alice's ear while giving me a look that could turn water into ice. I turned around and started to walk away when I felt someone hold my shoulder. I turned to see Chesper's dad, Kevin. He gave me the look that said, Let's have a man to man talk. So we went into the next room and he started talking. 

"Ian, you gotta learn that you break things slowly to kids that age. They can break if you say no to them so you should just do as they want."

"Fine," I huffed. "But I already told her her parents are dead. So what do I do?"

He looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Y-y-you s-s-s-should u-u-umm tell her that you were lying and pretend to look for them." He says, trying recovering from his stammering few words. I hide a smirk at how he didn't know the answer. We went back into the room and I walked over to Alice. 

"Alice, please calm down. Your parents are dead but you have us," I said, beckoning to everybody in the room, "Well, except for Alex."   

Everyone nodded, agreeing with me. Even Alex nodded that he wouldn't be like a parent to Alice.

"Alex, bro, you know you just made a LOT of enemies right?" Cyril asked.

The look that Alex gave Cyril could have turned water to ice. Before any of them could lift a finger, Kevin slurred, "Guys, I don't feel too good..."

We all looked at him and started backing ways as he coughed up blood and fell to the ground. He didn't move for a while but we all knew what was happening and had our weapons drawn, even Chesper, even though she was crying. Suddenly Kevin was on his feet snd running towards us. We were all shocked, but Chesper recovered quickly and shot her father straight between the eyes. And that's when she broke down into sobs. Cyril and Audrey, the others in her family went over to comfort her. I still had my g*n pointed at where Kevin had been when he first fell down. I just stood shell-shocked at what had just happened. It was Kevin's own DAUGTHER who had shot him. She didn't even hesitate. Just bam and he was gone forever. 

"We should do something about the body," I said, already grabbing the legs, "There are children here so..."

Chesper just sniffed and nodded. As she got up to help me, Cyril said, "Chesper I'll do it."

She looked like she wanted to argue, but she didn't. She sat down heavily like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders. Now she was crying, but she wasn't making any noise or movement, just having tears streaming down her eyes like a waterfall. When we finally moved the body, Cyril said, "f**k this. I can't go on in life like this. I'd rather die."

"You want that to be arranged?" I asked.

"No." He said sheepishly.

"That's what I thought."

He walked away to a corner to sulk. People here were really getting on each other's nerves. It wouldn't be too long before everyone started turning on each other. 

"Ian," Said Audrey, "We need to talk."

"What do we need to talk about?"

"Everything."

"How come?"

"People are getting restless and it won't be long before people start pulling guns on each other."

"What do you expect me to do?" I asked bitterly.

She just huffed angrily and walked away muttering unintelligent words. Behind her back, I gave her the finger. Suddenly she turned around and charged me. I wasn't expecting it, so I ended up on the floor wither her on top of me, pushing me in the face, but I quickly recovered and pushed her off with such force she literally flew off of me. I wiped my nose and my finger came away b****y. I was so angry that I charged her and pushed her to the ground.

"You think you can beat me?!" I screamed while punching her in the face, "Try me!!!!!!"

I was pulled off her by Alex and Chesper and Cyril. 

"Chill Ian bro,"  Alex says.

"You not my bro you ****er." I growl at him.

He takes a step back as if he had been hit in the face. Cyril and Chesper look at me with pity and that's what brakes me. I pull out my g*n and aim it at them.

"What the f**k are you looking at huh?!" I scream, "I could shoot your little s**t head into the middle of next weak!!"

They step back not looking happy. 

"Stop moving or your mom dies."

They both instantly stop moving but then I see something in their eyes. Just as I turn around I feel a blow on my head and stumble around, seeing stars.

"You motherfu-" I was cut off with another blow and then another blow and finally fall to the ground in a heap. 

"You brought this on yourself Ian." I hear a voice, but it sounds like it's on the otherwise of the world, and then I see black.
