L4D 3
Chapter 1
This is a story about a guy, his three friends, and his sister. It's also a story about survival, treachery, and teamwork.
It all began on the roads of Queensland, Australia that were completely desolate apart from our motor home and us.
We were driving along quite happily until our only means of transportation's tyre burst. "What was that?" I asked.
"That was our tyre exploding," said Brody.
"Do we have a spare?"
"Of course. You ask as if I'm Luke."
Luke was napping at the table and woke up with a snort. "Who said my name?"
"No one," said Rin, sitting across from him and still half asleep.
"Go back to sleep." Luke did as he was told and went back to his napping.
Brody pulled over to the side of the road and hopped out.
Cooper came out of the bathroom. "Where's Brody?" he asked.
"He's fixing the busted tyre." I said.
"So that's what that bump was," he said. " I suppose I should help."
"Yeah, probably," mumbled Rin. "Whatever."
Cooper left the vehicle.
"James," said Luke, "fetch me some tacos."
"No."
"WAAAAAAAAH!" screamed Luke.
"Uh, James?" Brody squeaked. "Could you come out here for a second?" I stepped out of the motor home and crossed my arms.
"What is it?" I asked.
"What is that?" whimpered Brody.
I looked up and raised an eyebrow curiously. "I don't know. Luke!" I yelled.
Luke groaned loudly. "WHAT?"
"Get me your binoculars!"
"Fine!" said Luke childishly. He got up, opened a drawer, and grabbed them before stumbling outside. "Here."
"Thanks." I peered through them. "What the?"
"What is it?" asked Cooper.
"It looks like a person." Then another one came into view, and another, and another. Soon the entire horizon was filled with these creatures. "Uh-oh" I murmured.
Luke looked at me curiously. "What is it?" Then he saw them. "BRODY!" he screamed. "FIX THE TYRE!" Brody complied
Rin walked out of the motor home. "What's with all the yelling?"
Luke grabbed Rin by the shoulders and shook her wildly. "ZOMBAHZ!" he screamed. "RUUUUUN!" He bolted inside.
"Luke!" I screamed. "You coward!"
Cooper hugged Rin tightly. "Don't worry Rin." he said. "I've got ya."
Rin shoved him away. "Hang tight, I've got an idea." She ran inside.
I stood there thinking for a second. "Ah-ha!" I opened one of the compartments on the side of the motor home and grabbed an axe.
"What is that?" asked Brody
"My emergency axe," I said blankly.
Rin rushed out of the vehicle with a katana.
"Uhhhhh," said Cooper rather confused.
"My katana." she said as if it was the most normal thing in the world. "A'ight, peeps, let's cut some zombies!"
By now, the horde had caught up to us. "FOR NARNIA!" Rin screamed as she ran at them and cut off three heads in one slice.
Cooper and I glanced at each other. "Well," I said, "let's kill some zombies." I ran at one of them and hacked off an arm, but it still stood. I hacked off the other. It just stood there. I knocked it on the ground and hacked it to death. "WHY WON'T YOU DIE!" I screamed. It died. "Good." Then, I saw a weird one. "Um, guys?" I yelled. "What is that?"
Cooper saw it, too. It was scarier then the others. It walked on all fours, had a hoodie and blood on its arms. "Dunno, but it doesn't look good."
It pounced on Rin and it started clawing at her. "KILL IT! KILL IT! KILL IT!" she shrieked. I bolted over and hit it with the hilt of my axe.
"RUN!" I screamed. We ran for the motor home as fast as we could. "COOPER, BRODY, GET INSIDE!" I bellowed. Cooper nodded and ran inside.
"ALMOST DONE!" yelled Brody. "DONE!" He ran inside and sat in the driver's seat. We came in behind him.
"SHUT THE DOOR" screamed Luke. I obeyed and slammed it shut as the hooded creature pounced. His arm got stuck in the door, and he shrieked in pain. Brody started driving with the zombie being dragged along.
"Stand back!" yelled Rin and chopped its arm off. Cooper gagged and ran into the bathroom.
"Too close." said Luke. We all just glared at him. He hadn't done anything. I shook my head.
"What was that?" Brody asked.
"I don't know," I said as I threw the arm out the window before quickly shutting it, "but I think it's just the beginning."
James: Doo doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo doo. (L4D2 theme music)
Rin: I cut zombahz!
