Okay, so I couldn't help myself, and I wrote chapters two and three.
It was a most terrifying sight. A creature that walked like a Gorilla came barreling toward us. It appeared to be comprised almost entirely of muscle, and at first glance its lower jaw appeared to be missing, however I quickly realized its jaw was enveloped in its chest due to its extreme muscle. It grunted like (I can't help at myself for thinking this) an angry, stressed, office worker. It roared and snarled, throwing aside the "Common" Infected (As Coach later told me on that they were called this) and it charged full throttle in our direction.
"TAAAAAAAAAAANK!" The others yelled, a look of terror on Ellis, Rochelle and Coach's faces, one of pure annoyance on Nick's. They fired their weapons at the enourmous beast, as Ellis pulled a molotov cocktail from his pocket and lobbed it at the "Tank". It immediately set fire, but simply shrugged it off as if nothing had happened.
It drew back a huge fist (which was three times as large as my own head) and quickly punched Nick in the stomach. The con man went flying across my yard as he yelled in pain.
The Tank then turned its attention towards me, drawing back its other fist, aiming for my torso, about to do to me what he had done to Nick. I suddenly felt the wind knocked out of me as I flew back and hit the wall, my entire back side stinging. I fell to the floor, grasping my stomach.
Eventually, the giant fell to the ground, a final, dissapointed roar bellowing from its mouth. I got up, and aside from the three or four Commons currently sprinting at us, everything was quiet. That is, until, I heard what sounded like a train horn getting closer, and I was suddenly swept off the ground, my ribcage crushed by a giant, calloused hand. I was then smashed again the ground twice, before the hand released me and I fell over on the ground.
"That's a Charger," said Rochelle nonchalantly. "We better get going now."
We ran into a few Commons, but it was, for the most part, peaceful. Until, that is, I heard gurgling and an impossibly bloated man jumped in front of us and puked directly onto us. I was blinding, And I could only make out vague shapes. I heard an explosion, and Right after Nick said "Got it", I felt about twelve pair of hands clawing at me. I couldn't fight back as I had been blinded, so I had to wait for my teammates to kill them.
Finally, the puke faded from my vision, and I could see once again. Before I could ask, Coach replied "Boomer." Seemed a fitting name for such a thing,
"Are there any other..."Special" Infected I don't know about? I'd like to know what each does before encountering it."
"Jus' one," Ellis said," It's called a-SPITTER!"
I felt a terrible stinging sensation as I doubled over in pain, a long necked woman with her entire mouth gone looming over me. She quickly fell over as she was shot in the head by Coach. I realized I was lying in acid. I frantically tried to get up, but the goo quickly faded away. Ellis helped me up as he said quietly,
"An' that's all thuh special ones."
"Congrats, kid," Said Nick in with a sneer, "You know all the Special Infected. Want your damn cookie now?"
Coach glared at Nick as he told him off, saying how I was new and I should be treated with respect. I asked Ellis and Rochelle where we were headed, since I honestly had no idea.
"We're heading down to an evac center just a few miles North," replied Rochelle. "It should take about three to four days to get there, so we'll need all the help we can get."
My neighborhood was rather small. I lived in the suburbs, and, as such, it wasn't hard to spot many Infected over the small houses. We traveled for a half a day before Coach finally stopped and said "It's gettin' dark. Let's find a place to sleep for thuh nigh', and we'll keep walking tomorrah."
I was glad to finally get some sleep, but sleeping in a zombie infested suburb wasn't exactly ideal for safety. We did manage to find an abandoned house with two stories, however, so we set up camp in the attic.
This was going to be a long journey.
Okay, sorry, I rushed this chapter. I'll take my time with chapters in the future.
