The Outbreak
Chapter Two: In The Street
The group walked into Chris and Jill's apartment. Everything was in order. A couple of guns on a shelf, gear on some boxes. "Here, get these." Jill handed the guns and the gear to Claire and Leon. "We need to kill the zombies again?" "We just need to kill them all and find out what the hell's going on. Those zombies were a lot stronger and faster than anything I've ever seen before." "Okay, we are splitting up. I go with Jill, and Leon goes with Claire." Everybody nodded and the group split up.
"Alrighty, we should check the houses first and get every survivor out of the town." Claire nodded. "Lets try this one." Claire and Leon walked to the door and rang the bell. Soon enough, an elderly woman answered. "Hello?" "Ma'am, BSAA. This town is crawling with infected people. We are gathering the survivors." The elderly woman nodded, went inside and quickly started packing her stuff. "Quickly, get out of this city." Leon walked the woman to the door and she grabbed her suitcases and quickly left. "I think she'll be okay." "Next house." Claire walked to the house next to the previous one and rang the bell. This time, no one answered. Leon got his gun ready and stared at Claire. She nodded and opened the door. Both burst in.
"BSAA! Is anyone here?" The house seemed empty. Everything was abandoned. Suddenly, a noise from behind Leon made him jump. A cat burst out of nowhere. "It might be infected!" Leon knelt down to the kitty, which purred instantly the minute he saw him. "I don't think so." Leon grabbed the kitty, went outside and let it go. "Run, kitty, run!" The cat stared at him and started running. "The person here must be a zombie." Claire went to the bedroom door and peeked. The bed was messy, and just as she was slowly moving her eye, a zombie came at her.
Claire trembled backwards. The bedroom door opened and the zombie came at Leon. He started shooting it until it was dead. "Are you okay?" "No, I just got attacked by a zombie. Nothing to worry about." "Don't play judge Judy with me, Claire. I know you fancy me." Claire huffed. "Shut up! We are just partners!" "Yeah, then what about Jill and Chris? Are they 'just partners'?" "Whatever. We are here chit chatting while the city is in danger. Lets move." "Okay, how about we get out of here first?" "Good idea." The minute Leon walked out of the porch, he instantly got in.
"Claire, you may not wanna see this." Claire turned her head in a questionable look and looked outside. A large wave of zombies was heading towards them. "In the house!" Leon locked every window and door he could find, and Claire searched the house for more zombies. Once the house was perfectly locked and clean of any Zombies, Leon ran to the closed window and peeked outside.
"Crap! They know how to use ladders!" "Get your gun ready." Leon nodded and opened the window. Four zombies started climbing and Leon killed them. Suddenly, a notice was heard from the balcony. A zombie was smashing the window. "Claire! The balcony!" Claire ran to the balcony and started killing zombies. Leon stayed to the window and continued firing at the zombies. Claire kept shooting at what it seemed the last of them but as she shot the last one, she trembled and fell off the balcony, with only her one hand supporting her so she wouldn't fall. "Leon!" Leon heard Claire, closed the window and ran to the balcony.
Just as Claire was ready to fall, Leon ran forward, slid down the floor and grabbed her hand. "Leon!" "It's okay, I'm gonna get you up." "No, zombies! Behind you." Leon turned his head around and saw 3 zombies slowly coming after him. "You gotta let me fall." "No!" Leon instantly grabbed his gun and turned around, still holding Claire, shot the zombies in the head and pulled Claire up. "Nice head shots." "Thanks. Are you okay?" "Yeah. We have to seal everything so we can stay safe here." "What about Jill and Chris?" "They are gonna be okay. I think."
In the meantime, Jill and Chris were back-to-back shooting about 50 zombies coming to them. "There are so many! We need cover!" Chris nodded. "Try to shoot them in the head! I'll find us a way out of here!" Chris quickly started running forward, shooting zombies as he did. He finally got out of the zombie infested street and went to an alley. He ran a few blocks until he saw a secured house. He went in. "Hello?" Chris walked into the living room, tried to take a turn to the kitchen and bumped into Claire. "Chris!" Claire hugged him. Leon came out of the balcony. "Nothing there. Oh, hi Chris!" "I was so worried! What happened out there?"
"The streets are infested with zombies. The whole town's gone to hell. Again." "Wait, where's Jill?" That single question struck a feeling of worrying and guilt to Chris. "I left her in there!" "You mean, you left your partner into a street infested with zombies?! Dude. We need to find her!" Chris, Leon and Claire ran outside. Chris led both of them to the street he was with Jill. Zombies were all over the street, but Jill was nowhere. "Jill!" Chris searched every single corner of the street to find Jill, but she wasn't anywhere. "Chris, we need to go back to the house!"
As Claire was talking to Chris, Leon was looking at a zombie trying to attack something at a corner. He quickly shot the zombie in the head and saw a cat hissing. "Kitty?" The cat instantly jumped on him. "We need to get out of here now! We can look for Jill after we are safe- Leon, what the hell is this?!" "The cat! She's alive!" "Why the hell did you take her?!" "Well, at least we have a survivor." Claire rolled her eyes and grabbed Chris's hand. "Whatever, keep that. One less zombie to worry about. Now, you are coming with me. We are getting out of here." Chris finally nodded and Claire pulled his hand and they both ran. Leon was petting the kitty and didn't see them. "Hey, wait for me!" He held on to the kitty and followed them.
AN: :O Jill is nowhere to be found! Spoiler Alert: None of the main characters are becoming zombies. For now. Jill is NOT one of the undead. ^_^ Leave reviews if you liked it!
