Authors note: Ugh… writing fanfiction used to be a form of procrastination for me, but now, here I am watching team starkid musicals over and over in order to procrastinate from this…
…please review…
Hiccups Pov:
Jack was carrying both his and my backpack but he still outran me easily. He told me that before the apocalypse he had been captain of the football team… and the athletics team… and the running team… and pretty much every single sporting team you can think of. I just nodded, deciding not to mention that I had been an un-athletic, skinny, weak nerd with non-existent muscles. The apocalypse had forced me and everyone to be strong physically and mentally. Plus everyone we you saw was weak and skinny from food deprivation, so my past was hidden. Ha, everyone you saw… I had thought that unconsciously, forgetting that I and Jack were alone.
Jack's Pov:
I looked back at hiccup and sighed. He was out of breath and struggling to keep up. Definitely not an athletic person. I grabbed his backpack and hoisted it onto my own back. I looked just behind hiccup and in the background I saw two zombies walking in a different direction. I winced at the amount of noise that Hiccup was making.
"Jack, wait up" He whined. I gasped. Almost in slow motion, I watched on of the zombies turn their head to look at us. Hiccup could see them two now and he was just as horrified as me.
Suddenly, both zombies were sprinting at us, a mindless, animalistic look of hunger in their eyes.
"Time to go" I said and picked hiccup up with two arms and started running. My muscles ached and hiccup struggled and protested, but I kept going. Those zombies would get Hiccup in a heartbeat if I let him try and run. I wasn't about to lose another person.
We rounded a corner at top speed, nearly running into a pole. Finally, when the zombies were out of sight, I put hiccup down and started walking again.
"Thanks" He murmured breathlessly. "Uh, Jack… where are we going?"
I coughed before answering. "School"
Hiccup's Pov:
We rounded the corner and saw a large brick building, well, collection of buildings surrounded by a cheap wire fence. There was a name above the gate, but it was too damaged to read. I wouldn't have recognised it anyway, this was Jacks school, not mine.
"Burgess state school" said Jack. Answering the question I had almost asked. "We call the students guardians… I don't know why…" He said, talking more to himself than me.
He spun around quickly to face me. "We need a base" He said, a glimmer of excitement in his eye. "The hall? … Too many entries to defend… The classrooms? Too many windows… The sports field? Too open. Which leaves" He said, gesturing wildly behind him. "The library"
