Chapter 2: Survivors
Gumball awoke to see the ceiling of the pharmacy above him. He yawned and remembered what had happened yesterday. He took the gun that was next to him and put it in his pocket. Outside, it had started to rain and he heard the raindrops thudding against the top of the store. As he heard that, there was a loud scream coming from outside. He ran out the door, listening to where the scream came from. There was then a gunshot and Gumball stopped in his tracks. He hid behind a wall of another store and peeked his head to see a man and a woman standing in front of a dead body. The man had a pistol in his hand. " Oh God, that was close," said the man. He was a yellow bird with green eyes. The woman, a purple cat with blue eyes, looked in shock at the body. " I think I'm gonna vomit," she said. She puked out on the street and wiped her mouth when she was finished. Gumball watched closely as they walked away. They don't seem that dangerous he thought to himself. He then walked towards them and shouted," Hey!" The yellow bird turned around and stared at Gumball. " Who the hell are you?" the bird asked. " I'm Gumball," Gumball said. " I don't mean any harm. You can come with me to where there are survivors and enough food and water." The man then turned to the cat and she nodded. " I guess we'll come with you," he said. " By the way, my name's Michael and this is Carla." Gumball then led them to where the pharmacy was and they went in, being careful not to wake anyone. Gumball saw Penny open her eyes and look around. She noticed the two people standing next to him and whispered," Who the hell are they and what do they want?!" "They just want to stay with us," Gumball answered back. He heard her mutter "whatever" and she went back to sleep. An hour passed and everyone woke up. Gumball told them what happened, how he found them outside after them killing a zombie. When he finished, he walked away to get something to eat. He picked up a bag of chips and started eating them. He watched Michael and Carla chatting with a few people about their survival. Gumball began wondering whether if it was just Elmore that was infested with zombies or possibly the whole state. When he finished he walked over to Darwin and said," No more Dodge or Dare." "I wish everything was back to normal," said Darwin. "Well, I'm going to go outside and look around," said Gumball. " Watch your back," answered Darwin. Gumball pulled open the door and walked out of the pharmacy. He turned to the left and caught sight of a zombie walking across the street. As he took the gun out of his pocket, it groaned. He fired the weapon and the bullet struck its head, blood squirting out. He went to the zombie's body and looked for things in its pockets. Unfortunately, there was nothing to find. He looked out on the streets and spotted a bloody knife in the middle of the road. He went over to it and saw a trail of blood leading up to a ladder. Gumball climbed it and made it to a rooftop. As he made it to the top, he heard a click of a gun being pointed at the back of his head. "Don't move," the voice said. It was the voice of a 13 year old girl. " Who are you?" asked Gumball. " I've been watching your group since you came to this area," the girl behind him said. " You guys are the only survivors I know about right now." Gumball turned around and saw a pink cat with a black leather jacket and black jeans. She was still pointing the gun at him. "Have you seen my mom anywhere? Her name is Carla. We got separated by a horde of zombies." " Carla's in our group," said Gumball. " You can join if you want." " Okay, thanks," she said. " By the way, my name is Libby." She lowered the gun and put it in her pocket." I'm Gumball," Gumball said. They climbed down the ladder and walked onto the street where two zombies were walking around. They each shot one in the head and walked back to the pharmacy. They went inside and Carla ran up to Libby and hugged her. Then out of nowhere, a zombie broke through the glass of the window and bit Carla's shoulder.
