Acidity of the wicked brain
I was browsing though some of the shelves while running my fingers along the dusty and dirty metal shelf, knocking over the merchandise onto the floor.
Slowly making my way around an isle after emptying everything onto the floor of the store in pure boredom trying not to get to engrossed in own my mind.
I am so bored I could almost watch grass grow, if there was any left after the world ending. I don't think sand grows, hmm good point
Knowing I have to find something to catch my eye soon or I will do more harm than good should I not be entertained sooner than later that's for sure.
Reaching into my jeans for my iPhone to change my music to something more cheerful since I was drowning in my despair making me turn down another aisle.
Feeling a shiver down my back making me stop and turn my head to look around me making me pause, pulling out one of my earphones so I could listen closely.
That's weird I never feel the cold, why did I shiver? It's not cold, I don't feel cold, somethings not right
Standing almost frozen to the spot while I slow my breathing, I quietly take a few steps back the way I came trying not to make a noise, being a ninja in the dark while slowly approaching a corner aisle.
Pushing my back to the shelf as close as I could, I started feeling it dig into my back painfully and turning my head to the right as I hear light footsteps coming closer making me hold my breath. Fuck what now I'm stuck if I move they will hear me
Hopefully they will walk straight past me and they don't see me, yeah right you have to be stupid enough to believe that
I tilt my head back as I look though the small shelf to see a young girl with blonde making her way towards me causing me to slowly sneak around the corner into the next aisle.
Making sure I didn't bump into anything to make noise, alerting her of my presence. That would be bad very bad not good at all
Carefully tiptoeing backwards as I watch her around the corner and down around into my aisle making me panic as I was 5 feet away as she slowly turned. Fuck I thought she was going to keep walking straight not into the next one, god damn it
But before I could move she already finished turning the corner, making our eyes lock on as she stop dead in her tracks while mouth wide open staring at me with a shocked look on her face.
It was almost like we both stopped breathing at the same time as we had a staring contest with each other making my eyes widen in fear, I glance down to see her move her mouth or if to say something but nothing came out.
She honestly looked like a fish out of water with her mouth opening and opening. I almost let myself smirk at the funny look on her face but before I could, I saw her step forward making me suddenly step back in defence. I saw it before it could happen making me watch wide eyes
Watching in slow motion as she started to slip on the wet floor making me quickly dash forward to grab hold of her left arm above the elbow and holding with a death grip while she tried to grab hold of the shelf and pulling in down, making me turn and noticing it shaking and making its way down on us.
Swinging my right arm out and bending my elbow as I held the shelf away from falling on us, making me grunt as it slammed into my elbow, pushing it away from my body and holding it in place.
Slowly turning my head up and look in her eyes with a frown at her clumsiness, like serious how much more noise can you make, is she trying to kill us both?
Noticing how stiff she has gotten in my grip, while continually staring at each other, starting to get uneasily at her eyes.
I was just about to let her fall on her ass for pulling a stunt like that but before I could let go, I was interrupted.
'Kmart!' I loud destressed voiced suddenly called out making me freeze before releasing my grip and pushing the shelf back with such a force it shook before stilling.
Making me quickly turn my head to see that the young girl I saved, her name is Kmart I'm guessing since she responded by it, has her back to me.
'Kmart where are you!?' the same voice, which sounded like an adult starting getting closer. She's distracted great now's my chance.
Not wanting to find out who is belonged to, quickly turning around and sprinting towards the end of the aisle, jumping and pushing myself along the wall up towards where the third story railing was, gasping it and pushing myself over it before ducking and hiding from out of sight.
Catching my breath as I could not believe my luck at finding another human alive. Fuck she's not alone, aka I'm not alone fuckkk, I gonna get out of here now!
'Claire!' Kmart yelled trying to get her to come here quick to meet this girl she found by accident.
'Kmart what have I told you what walking off alone!' it's dangerous!' Claire shouted at her once she turned the corner and found her standing still knowing she in trouble.
'I know but I found his girl' she happily shouted while smiling making the redhead suddenly forget why she was angry in the first place.
'What girl?' Claire said confused while grabbing Kmart's shoulders not believing what she just head. It's been years since they have seen another survivor making the redhead happy.
Hearing what Claire said makes her turn around to see nothing there causing her to drop her head, feeling upset that the girl left without saying a word.
'Kmart what did she look like?!' Claire grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her around to face her seeing her worried.
'She was blonde like me, had jeans on and a black t-shirt' she muttered, trying to remember what she looked like.
'Carlos!' you there?, we have a survivor in the mall, she's in here somewhere' Claire said as she held her walkie talkie to her mouth taking Kmart's hand and dragging her as they start walking away.
'Copy that Claire, we will find her' he's voiced boomed from the device as they looked around each store they were passing making Kmart almost trip to keep up with the redheads pace.
I slowly peaked my head over the railing to see them walking away in what looked like a fast pace making me quickly get to my feet and run since I wasn't waiting to get found by random people.
Running as fast as I could not caring anymore about noise knowing I'm so screwed, I was going to be locked in here until they found me.
Quickly sliding around a corner before I noticed a little girl and older woman walking hand in hand like a mother and daughter would, slamming my feet since I started to slide towards them before falling backwards, bending my knees to the side.
Sliding to a halt in front of them staring at them with wide eyes.
They both stopped where they were when I looked at them with fear and shock, there's more of them!' how many are there! I'm so doomed
Next they I noticed she pulled out a walkie talkie while watching me closely on the ground.
'Claire we found her, she's on the third floor!' she said before walking towards me slowly making me jump to my feet.
Running to the left side, heading towards the elevators making into a sprint while she started running to reach me making me duck out of her reach while continuing to run for my life.
I was starting to gain some distance between her since she was right before behind me making me run faster.
Next I feel her jump on top of me causing me to fall face first onto the floor making me yell out.
'Hey! Wait I'm not going to hurt y—'she started to say turning me around so she could see my face.
Quickly kneeing her in the ribcage, hearing her gasp and pulling my right arm out, elbowing across the jaw knocking her off balance, making her slightly fall me since she was almost on top of me.
That's got to hurt
Grabbing a fistful of her jacket and bending my legs from under me, turning me body to my left side as I kick her off me with force, watching as she slid into a glass barrier making it smash into a thousand pieces.
'Mommy!'' a tiny voice yelled out causing me to glance up to see the little girl quietly crying making me quickly scramble to my feet as I saw more people running around the corner and stopping.
'Hey you stop! Right now or I will shoot' a guy with a cowboy hat yelled rising his gun up to aim for me causing me to quickly turn to see another group at the other corner making me ball my fists.
'No don't shoot her!' I heard another guy yell out at the other corner, looking around for an exit.
'You have nowhere to go' we are not going to hurt you' the same guy said that threaten to shoot me making me shake my head not trusting him one bit. Why would you say that?
Looking at both ends of the corridor and noticing them slowly walking closer, I'm surrounded.
Glancing in front of me where the railing was, I guess there is only one way down
'Grab her quick!' I heard one of them yell as I started running towards the railing but it was too late and they were to slow.
'Oh shit!' I heard one of them swear out as I jumped below to the level while swinging my arms around to balance my fall onto the landing on the shelves.
Hitting into one of the big shelves making it fall under my fallen weight before coming crashing down to the floor making me groan since it was so loud, everyone must have heard it. So much for being quite
Pushing myself off and rolling my body until I landed on the floor with a thump making me slowly get to my feet.
I got to get out of here now
'Hey there she is! That's her Claire' I heard a gleeful voice yell out making me turn my head to see a redhead and the girl Kmart about 20 feet away as they both starting to run to me causing me to turn on the spot.
Just as I turned, I dodged a tackle in time from a tall guy that looked in his 30s before elbowing him in the face, feeling rough hands grab my shirt from behind.
Turning around and giving him a hard thali kick to the ribs just as I finished him off with a hard push kick causing him to fall straight on his ass.
Seeing in the corner the other two getting closer, turning and ripping off a metal self before throwing in their direction causing them to jump apart to avoid getting hit by it.
Buying myself some time and turning to continue running past the shelves while I zig zagged though the aisles before ducking into a sports store.
Diving into the back room where I parked my bike before stopping and taking a breather. Fuck
Quickly putting on my backpack not wanting to wait this out, grabbing my helmet and putting it on before turning on the beast of a machine.
Hearing it roar to life as I adjust myself before putting it in gear before throttling it fast as I started to ride out of the store in a rush, feeling the wind brush against my skin.
Turning the corner just as I see Kmart, the guy that attacked but failed and the redhead talking before looking up at the same time before jumping apart as I rode through them, heading towards the elevator before stopping once in.
Turning and leaning over to press the top level button, seeing out of the corner of my eye to see them running before the doors closed.
'Where is she going?' Carlos asked while slamming the button on the wall for the elevator in frustration while Kmart just rolled her eyes.
'Carlos the rooftop' Claire answer's as she realised that's the only way out besides front entrance.
'Of course she riding along the rooftops to avoid the infected' he replied thinking how smart that is.
She and Kmart started to run back towards the way they came before meeting the rest of the group.
Chase with Otto who was walking like a gangster with Becky clinging to Alice who had a nasty bloody face.
Looking at Alice's face, she quickly run up to her gasping her face, seeing her bloody nose.
'Jesus Alice' Claire whispered out while looking closer to see how much damage was done to her girlfriend.
Trying to wipe the blood off her face, cleaning it since it looked worse than it did. She noticed that Becky had been crying before, mostly likely because of the sight of big amount of blood on Alice's face.
'It's not that bad' Alice assured her since it would heal in a few minutes not worrying her.
'It's bleeding' she growled out in a hiss trying to hold back on the anger.
'She was afraid you can't blame her' Alice tried to reason with the redhead just knowing she was getting angry.
'Shit Carlos she got you with that elbow too' Alice amused causing Claire to turn to see Carlos right side of his face had a dark purple bruise on it, looked painful.
'Where is she?' chase asked while looking around the store with a careful eye.
'Top floor, unless you can keep up with a motorbike on foot' Carlos amused at the surprised look on the cowboys face knowing full well no one can.
'Ok cars it is then, come on Otto lets go' the cowboy said turned and started to jog, taking Otto with him.
'Let's go' the convoy leader said pulling Alice with her and grabbing Kmart while they ran to the main entrance to see the yellow hummer.
Jumping into the hummer and turning the key in before glancing back to see Alice finish putting Becky in the car seat before putting hers on.
'Ready to go Claire?' Carlos asked though the walkie talkie
'Just wait' she said softly while sitting in silence before trying to listen for the motorbike.
'Claire what's wrong? Kmart whispered while glancing back at Alice who only shrugged her shoulders.
'It's too quite' the leader said while leaning forward in her seat, looking out along the desert.
'Wouldn't she reached the rooftop by now' the teenager asked confused as to what the convoy leader was getting at.
'Unless she is waiting to see if we have gone? The redhead replied making Kmart slowly nod in understanding.
Turning her head to hear a faint sound echoing in the wind, trying to listen closer making her more confused.
Hearing it getting closer, she turned looking in both ways before looking in the review mirror to see nothing making her more frustrated.
Next they hear a loud roar of an engine working at full speed, causing Claire to glance up when she saw a shadow on the sand moving across the ground. What the
Watching in mild shock as they see her flying over the sky before landing across on another building covered in sand before leaving a trail of dust behind.
'She's above, she's on the rooftops!' she shouted in her walkie talkie before turning the key and slamming her foot down on the petal.
'Got her Claire' Carlos said before following at high speed trying to catch up with the hummer
Landing smoothly and safely on the other building across the mall, I started to relax my body knowing now I have gotten a safe distance from the people.
Quickly glancing back to see no one behind me made me slightly better knowing now I don't have to worry.
They give up good
Feeling a sense of Deja vu making me glance to the right side of me to see a yellow hummer in the distance in the next street over making me groan in annoyance. Give up will you
Knowing I have to lose them fast and for good, turning left onto a street before slamming on the brakes so hard I did an endo, seeing the biggest mob of zombies, eyes widening as they all turned and starting running towards me.
Quickly throttling it and doing a skid as I turn around and riding faster the way I came knowing they were close if I didn't let up.
Seeing a yellow hummer approaching me before breaking and doing a u turn, riding past them and around the same corner and missing a large truck on the way out and a school bus full of kids.
Also seeing almost of 5 row of cars in trail before going over a jump to the next building and going up a gear as I wanted to get the fuck out of here quick as possible.
Ducking though a collapsed building though a little walk way and coming out of the other end making me glance back to see the cars finding other way around.
'Alice what's wrong' Claire asked her girlfriend noticing how quite she has been since gotten into the hummer.
'Nothing why' Alice softly lied not wanting to worry the redhead with her thoughts on the girl she encountered a few minutes ago.
'You have never been this quite before' the convoy leader said with a raised eyebrow trying to figure out what was going on.
'I think you have me confused with Kmart dear' Alice replied with a smirk amused at her little joke she pulled to lift the tension in the hummer. She heard Kmart laugh taking that as a win.
'You haven't been the same since you had that confliction with that girl' the redhead argued knowing full well it has something to do with that girl.
'I'm just thinking' Alice told her not knowing why she was getting upset about it.
'Yes and what's that's made you so quite' Claire asked trying to get her to spill the beans knowing something is bothering her.
'We can't catch her' Alice stated in a fact almost deadpan knowing this isn't going to work knowing how fast a motorbike can be.
'Yes we can, we just have to step on it' the convoy leader said almost in an amusing tone like she was being funny.
'Claire we have a whole convoy behind us' Alice argued back knowing full well how bad this is.
'Yes but what's your point' she asked having a feeling she knew where this conversion was heading.
'I think I should go after her' Alice said in a firm knowing voice that her girlfriend wasn't going to like it one bit.
'What? Why? What's with you and this girl? The redhead suddenly shouted with annoyance not knowing what hell is going on with Kmart and Alice.
'What do you mean? She asked confused since her girlfriend was almost annoyed.
'Kmart is almost obsessed with a girl that hasn't even spoken a word and now you' the redhead yelled back not knowing what happened in that store.
'The difference is I can catch up to her in no time and you can't in a hummer with a whole convoy behind you' Alice said while smirking know full well she has win this argument.
'I think she's right' Kmart said siding with the superwoman since she had a point knowing Claire and how stubborn the redhead can be.
Fuck!' Claire screamed out loud not liking the outcome of this situation at all, slamming on the breaks as she starts punching the staring wheel.
