Chapter 2
*three years before the infection*
The hot summer sun beat down on me, it was the middle of July in Miami so these conditions were normal, we were all surprised we havent seen a hurricane yet. My friends and I were enjoying the beach along with some other beach goers, and drinking some lemonade. Two bitches walked up to us, (you could tell they were bitches because of the way they looked)
"You're in our spot." One said,
"I'm sorry but I didn't see your name on it." My friend Kayla said.
The girls ended up kicking sand at us and the lifeguard made us move,
"You'll never be able to make it in life, you can't do anything right." My older sister Aria told me, "You're such a pushover." She laughed and walked away,
"I'll show her." I told myself, "I'll show them all."
*Present*
"Woah there, we won't hurt you, we promise." The big African-American guy said,
"Yeah, just put the gun down little girl." The suited man laughed, "You probably don't know how to use it."
I death glared him and shot at his foot, I didn't hit him, I just wanted him to piss his fancy white pants.
He jumped back, "What the hell?!"
I smirked, "Don't mind him, he can be an ass." The guy with the southern accent said,
"I've noticed." I said and put my gun down,
"You here to get evacuated too?" The woman asked,
"I was, until thos CEDA bastards left me behind because they thought I was infected."
"Well, we're heading to the mall, we heard that they were evacuating there too, want to join?" She asked,
"No!" The suited man said angrily
"Sure, that sounds nice." I smiled, the suited man groaned, "Feelings mutual buddy." I said.
We made our way to the elevator and went inside, the southern boy pushed the button and we went down, "So, what do they call you?" He asked me,
"Sophia, or Sophie." I said,
"My names Ellis." He smiled at me,
"My names Rochelle, you?" She asked the African-American guy,
"My friends call me Coach, guess y'all can do the same."
"My names Nick, but don't bother learning it, I won't be sticking around long." The suited guy said,
"I don't like your attitude Nick." I said,
"Feelings mutual doll." He smirked. I was half tempted to shoot him, one half of my brain told me to do it, the other half said no... I decided to not shoot him, yet.
The elevator screeched to a stop, "I bet there's gonna be something big waiting for us out there." Coach said,
"Let's pry these doors open and see." Ellis said, I gripped my ninja sword tight and watched as Coach pried the elevator open. Smoke poured into the elevator and there was a roar,
"Here they come." Nick said.
Zombies ran at us from different directions, we chopped and hacked our way through them, "Into the inferno!" I said, "Safe house is this way." I motione with my sword,
"Alright, let's go." Ellis agreed and went ahead.
We went through the firey blaze, "Check the room for supplies." I said and walked into a room. There was a first aid kit lying on the table, I grabbed it off of the table and stuffed it in my carry-on,
"Going on vacation or something?" Nick asked, grabbing a shotgun,
"No, why?" I asked sternly,
"Well, you're packing a bunch of useless weight on your back."
"Oh bite me." I said,
"I'll leave that to the zombies." He smirked and walked out.
I walked out behind him and rejoined with the others, "Let's get moving." Rochelle said and walked ahead. We walked through a burning kitchen then through a doorway to a lobby area,
"God... I can't see." I said then coughed, "We have to find fresh air or we are all gonna die."
"You say that like its a bad thing." Nick coughed,
"Fine, you can stay but I'm getting the hell outta here!" I went ahead.
I didn't get far before I was being pulled back, "Agh! What the hell?!" I shouted,
"Hang on I'm comin." Ellis said.
Before he could get to me the zombie exploded, I fell to the ground. "I think a thanks is in order." Nick said and held out his hand,
"Thanks." I growled and grabbed it, he pulled me up. Nick smirked at me, "I'll punch that smirk off your face."
"Aww, someone's mad that I saved her life."
"You did not save me from anything!" I said and walked ahead,
"Somebody's upset because she can't do anything right." He chuckled, the words rang through my head and turned into my sisters voice, like the one day she said that to me.
I growled and quickly turned to press my sword to his throat, "I'll show you what I can do."
"That's enough you two." Coach's voice boomed from behind, I backed off of Nick,
"I'll show him." I muttered to myself and followed Coach.
We made it to a clearing and fresh air felt foreign to me, "The safe house is just ahead." Rochelle said,
"Thank god." I sighed,
"Well come on then." Nick said and ran ahead. Not soon after he ran ahead did a zombie jumped on his face,
"That thing's riding him!" Rochelle exclaimed,
"I got this." I smirked and ran up to Nick, shooting the zombie off of his back, "Who saved who now?" I asked,
"Shut up." He grumbled and went into the safe room,
"You're welcome." I smirked and followed him in.
