Nightmare

CHAPTER 7

"Tyler .." Bree and I said is simultaneously as we saw him standing outside the police station door.

Even though he looks very messy, we recognized him, he's not wearing eye glasses anymore so we can see his glaring and black eyes. His intestines are hanging in the hole of his stomach, disgusting s**t.

I looked at his face again, he was looking straight at me. I was devastated when he suddenly smiled at me.

"Look what you've done to me Zayn." he said that and I knew he was referring to the wound in his stomach. "You'll pay for this." he added.

My eyes widened as he slowly stepped closer in our direction. I also slowly backed away as I pointed the gun to him.

"Don't come near or I'll shoot you Tyler." I threatened him but he didn't seem like he was threatened by what I said and still continued to approach.

"Then shoot me if you want." he said while still smiling. The demon is in front of me now.

We jumped in panic when he suddenly threw the table blocking his path causing it to fly away. My hands holding the gun trembled as I watched him.

"Zayn shoot him now!" Bree shouted who was still behind me.

I stiffened in my stance and could not move, I did not know what to do. I was confused because I didn’t know how to fire this gun. Damn it.

"Zayn what the heck, shoot him!" Bree shouted again. Her voice shows that she is very bored and annoyed with me.

I could feel the trembling of my hand as I pointed the gun at Tyler. s**t.

Moments later I felt Bree retrieve the gun I was holding and immediately fired it at Tyler. He was hit in the chest and arm but it looked like he was wearing bulletproof vests and was not hit by bullets because until now he still continued to walk towards us.

"s**t, die now stupid jerk!" I heard Bree swear while Tyler still didn't give up.

I looked at the chair beside me. I quickly picked it up and threw it at Tyler causing him to fall to the floor. He was in such a situation when we thought of leaving the police station.

We hurriedly ran out but before we could go far, we saw someone approaching in our direction. I think there are about ten of them. We stopped from running when we realized we had nowhere to go in the direction we were running.

"We have to go to the back of the police station, faster." I said as we turned around and went straight at the back of the police station.

As we run away from those people I can’t help but think of the day before all this happened. There seems to be a sudden zombie apocalypse here in Hell City. That feeling that you don't know where you can hide, that feeling that you don't know which part of Hell City you are safe.

What's happening here is frightening. It’s scary to fight that you know you’ll just lose. There were many of them while we were just two. What can we do against people who can cut off our heads?

If they ever find what they are looking for, will everything be all right? Will everything return to normal? Until now I wonder what tomorrow awaits us. Until now, there were a lot of questions have been running through my mind. I need an answer.

We stopped running when we noticed we could no longer continue because there was a fence blocking our path. It was a long metal fence. I was so disappointed, damn it.

"We have to go back." I heard Bree say

"No." I answer her.

"What?" she asked me annoyed.

"We can't go back.They will surely kill us."

"So what are we going to do now Zayn?" There was a hint in her voice that she was running out of patience.

"Let's go up." I replied.

"What ?!"

"We have to do this Bree, trust me." I told her to calm her down.

I took the bag she was carrying and then hung it behind me. I helped her climb the fence. Even though it was difficult, she was able to cross to the other side.

"Now your turn Zayn, can you?" she asked calmly.

"I can handle it." I replied then started to climb the fence but I found it even harder to climb because no one was pushing me like what I did to Bree.

I went down again, I really couldn't. But I have to. I removed the bag hanging from my back and then threw it at Bree so that it wouldn't be too heavy on my body when I climbed.

"Do it again Zayn, you can do that. Come on." Bree motivates me while hanging the bag behind her.

"Zayn !!"

I hadn't even climbed again when I heard that voice. My chest started throbbing again at this time. I slowly turned around and saw Tyler heading in my direction.

Shit.

"Zayn don't mind him. Just look at me." I heard Bree say that which made me turn to her. "You need to go up now. Zayn hurry up." she added .

Even though I could feel the trembling of my whole body, I took courage. I can't die yet, I can't die. Not now.

I quickly climbed myself up the fence but I was really having a hard time. I tried not to feel the pain in my skin that pierced the sharp part of the fence.

"Come on Zayn, faster." I feel like I'm under pressure from Bree in a hurry. But I was thinking of the monster coming and I had to hurry.

When I had little to climb, I suddenly felt someone pulling at my feet. Damn it !

"I won't let you escape from my hands Zayn, remember that!" I heard Tyler scream as he continued to pull my legs.

"Let go of your hands on me Tyler!" I shouted at him. I feel like I'm slowly releasing the iron on the fence I'm holding because of the excessive force of his pull.

When I found an opportunity I stepped on his face but it seemed like he wasn't hit by that step, stupid jerk.

I still tried to get my foot back that he was holding but he was too strong. I could almost release my hands holding the iron on the fence and I would fall. But a few moments later I suddenly heard a gunshot as Tyler let go of my feet.

I looked at him and saw him fall to the ground.

"I'm sorry I forgot we have this." said Bree as she showed me the gun she was holding. I was overwhelmed by my friend's stupidity.

I continued to climb until I could finally cross. We wasted no more time and immediately ran away.

When we got to the highway, we stopped running again when we saw groups of people approaching in our direction. We turned to look at the road behind us but there were also people coming. We are already in the middle of death.

Dead end.

We could only run on the right and left side of where we were standing.

"We have to go straight there." Bree said softly to me as she pointed the way to our left.

"No." I contradicted her suggestion.

"What?" Bree asked me.

"We have to separate ways Bree." I told her.

"That's nonsense Zayn. We won't do that. Never." she said emphatically. "We are stronger when we are together, think about it." she added.

"Bree listen." I said first then took a deep breath. "When we run together they will all follow us. There are so many of them and we can't handle them. We have to distract them. I'm on the right and you're on the left." I explained to her.

"Zayn no, what the heck are you thinking huh?" she said angrily to me.

"Bree trust me, just promise me you'll save yourself." I said.

"Zayn ..." she said crying.

"Let's meet in the park."

"What? Why in the park?"

"That's the closest to here. I'll wait for you and you'll wait for me."

"Use this." she said then put the gun she was holding in my hand.

"I don't know how to use this Bree." I embarrassedly told her.

"Stupid. Just load the gun and pull the trigger. Shoot the enemy." she explained. I just nodded and then put the gun on the side of the pants I was wearing.

"I'll count up to three, then we'll run." I told her.

We both faced the people approaching us. I took a deep breath before counting.

"One .. two .. tree. Run!" I shouted at her and we ran on the road we were going to walk separately.

The decision I made was against my will, but I think it was the right one. I was just praying that nothing bad would happen to her, and that we would both get to the park safely.
