A/N: Heya guys. So it has taken me a couple of days to think about this chapter and where I'm gonna take it, but here you have it. The second chapter of the states of decay!
Chapter 2: something sinister!
Previously on the states of decay!
My name is Humphrey Smith, I am a lone wolf soldier. My home Base was attacked by hordes of undead. We were overrun. I lost many friends that day.
I jolt awake sweating my fur soaking from the sweat.
"Humphrey you're finally awake…" a wolf said to me. My vision was blurry and still wasn't focused. They started focusing and I saw Eve standing there.
"how are you doing Humphrey. Are you OK what happened?" she said asking worryingly.
"I think I'm good I'm just a bit ehh at the moment. I'm kinda feeling dizzy, woozy and sick at the moment. Give me a few minutes and I should be fine.
But unknowingly in the shadows lurked something. Something that could attract the dead…
? P.O.V
"so this is where your hiding huh Winston, well buddy your time is about to be up." I turn around and see all the zombies tied up. I start cutting them all loose and then ran away as the zombies slowly walked towards the Base…
Kate's P.O.V
I was taking over guard duty for the night when I heard rustling in the bushes in front of the Base. I pulled out my binoculars, I looked around the bushes but it was way too dark to see anything. So I grabbed my knife and pistol, then slowly made my way out of the Base towards the bushes. When I got closer, I heard moans coming from the bushes.
I stepped away but I stepped on a twig. 'ah shit' I thought to myself. I heard rustling around the bushes. I stood still until I heard running. 'time to book it' I thought to myself. I turned and ran as fast as I could. One of them jumped on top of me. He tried to bite me. I heard a whisp and the next thing I know, I have dead blood all over my face. I turn my head and see Hutch standing there.
"Kate I saw you heading out so I came out to see what you were doing, good thing I did otherwise you would've become one of those things." he said with a warm smile. I hugged him and thanked him and we started heading back.
We heard roars coming from the woods behind us. We turned around and heard rushing footsteps. We looked at each other and we both ran towards the Base. I turned my head and saw hordes upon hordes of zombies chasing us. I saw the guys up at the watchtower grabbing their guns and started shooting the zombies. That's when we heard a scream and a light roar and rough roar. We turned around and saw, a screamer, a feral, a juggernaut.
"OH SHIT!" me and hutch screamed in unison. We started booking it towards the Base doors and went through them.
"close the doors now!" I screamed at the guards. They pressed the button. The doors started going down. Then we heard a huge thud. 'goddamnit their jammed' I thought to myself. I ran towards the Base alarm and pressed it. I grabbed the microphone. "everybody to the courtyard we have a zombie invasion! I repeat we have a zombie invasion this is not a drill!"
Humphrey's P.O.V
I heard an alarm going off. I looked at Eve and she looked worried.
"maybe it's a drill" she said. Then we heard through the tannoys.
"everybody to the courtyard we have a zombie invasion! I repeat we have a zombie invasion this is not a drill!". 'oh no not again please not again' I think to myself. I got up my shoulder in agony. I walked towards the courtyard and I saw Winston talking to some of his people. I walked up to him. He looked at me and gave me a rifle and a pistol with some bullets.
"you'll need these son" I nodded at him and headed upstairs and saw hordes of zombies, I saw Kate with Lily keeping their heads down. I saw a few zombies heading towards them. I pulled up my rifle and aimed it at the zombies and fired at them. I missed them. I ran up closer to them and pulled out my pistol and fired a few rounds. I took three of them out. I saw the feral running towards me. It leaped at me, I grabbed my knife out of my pocket and went to stab it in the head. It knocked it out my hand. I went flying against the wall. It went for the bite and saw a bullet fly through his head.
I turned my head and saw Hutch standing there. He offered his hand to help me up, I gladly accepted it. That's when I heard a huge roar, I looked and saw a giant zombie. I gulped in fear. I grabbed my rifle and started shooting at it. It targeted me and ran towards me. I saw a wolf running towards another zombie. I saw the huge zombie swipe him up and brutalise him. He bit into his neck snapping his neck then pulled him apart. Spilling his guts all over the floor. I puked up at the sight of it.
"SALTY!" I heard another wolf say. I looked around and saw chaos ruining around me. I saw Kate and Lily in the corner still. Me and Hutch ran up to them and grabbed them. We took them inside to Winston and Eve.
"Kate, Lily you stay here. Hutch stay here to protect them" he nodded his head and I ran towards the courtyard and started taking out zombies. I saw a grenade on the floor and saw the juggernaut still up.
"HEY YOU FAT FUCKER! COME AND GET SOME!" He roared and ran towards me I ran up his body and when he roared I pulled the pin and dropped it into his mouth. *boom* was all I heard in the background and it was raining blood. I saw the screamer about the scream. I ran up to it and grabbed a piece of sharp concrete off the floor and sliced straight through his head.
"shut the fuck up you screwy fucker." I grabbed my pistol and cleared the rest of them out. I went downstairs and saw blood everywhere. I ran towards the door with Kate, Lily, Eve and Winston were the door was closed. I tried to walk in but it wouldn't open.
"Kate, LILY EVE!" I screamed. I grabbed my gun and shot the door I pushed it open with force and saw Hutch standing there with a gun to Kate's head.
"stand down now or I will blow her brains out." I looked at Kate.
"What the hell Hutch I thought you were on our side? Why are you helping the zombies? Wait… this was all a setup. Alright. How about we make a deal huh. You spare them and take me instead?" He looked at me. He chuckled.
"So you finally clicked on Humphrey but oh trust me. I could take you out right now if I wanted to." he said while smirking.
"oh really. Well I say bring it on." I say while standing there with anger I my eyes he walked up to me and threw a punch. He gave me a clear punch to the cheek. I took a step back and went for the punch. I went to punch him in the face but he grabbed my arm and pulled it back. He turned me around twisting my whole arm in the wrong direction. I heard a pop and a a huge ripping pain, I felt blood pouring down my arm. 'he has ripped my bullet wound open and he has dislocated my elbow and shoulder ' I think to myself while almost crying and throwing up in pain. He kicked me into the wall. I hit the wall with a thud, all I saw was white then I saw black.
Kate's P.O.V
I saw Humphrey laying on the floor blood around him, I tried to get up but I was restricted to the floor by the rope around my hands tied to the wall. "HUTCH YOU BASTARD! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!" I scream in anger. He chuckled and I saw Tony walk in.
"well, well Winston. My plan has come into effect. Now you are all mine. Mine to do whatever I want with. He looked at me. I realised his plan. I nearly threw up to the thought. I looked at him and went to say something but my dad cut me off.
"Tony. I thought we were friends, this isn't about the supplies I didn't deliver to your group because we were going through black summer. We were very low on supplies yourself. There was nothing we could-" my dad was cut off by a punch to his face by Hutch. I growled at him. He came over to me and slapped me in the face. I looked in the corner of my eye and saw Humphrey waking up. He looked at me with anger in his eyes. He reached for Hutch's walkie talkie. He pressed the button. "GARTH ALERT 10 IN WINSTON'S OFFICE!" he screamed. Hutch turned around and whacked the butt of his gun in Humphrey's face.
A few minutes later I heard running coming down the hallway and I saw garth standing there with about 5 people pointing guns at the 2 of them. Hutch put the gun to my head.
"Hutch I wouldn't do that if I were you." Garth warned. Hutch cocked his pistol.
"oh really Garth? Well why not?" he said mockingly. Garth grabbed Tony and put his pistol up against his head. "I'll do this!" Garth warned. Hutch laughed. "what that is supposed to stop me Garth really? Man I don't even like the guy." Hutch said while laughing.
I looked at Garth and Hutch. I nodded at Garth and I bit down on Hutch's hand. He yelped in horror and his blood soaked fur. Garth put a round into his head and then turned around and looked at Tony. "why would you do this to us dad. My group my friends and your own son. I'm sorry but this is what I've had to do." he pointed the gun. He pulled the trigger. "I'm sorry… dad." he said while tearing up. He walked towards Humphrey and looked for a pulse. He found nothing. He looked at me worried. He ran over to us and cut the ropes of all of us. "Eve he has no pulse, can you please help him!" Eve pulled him onto her shoulders and carried him to the medic room. She put him onto the medic table. "mum will he be OK?" I asked worryingly. She looked at me. "I will try my hardest sweetheart but i can't guarantee anything." she said while showing a small smile. I walked out. I went to the courtyard, I saw loads of people burning the zombie bodies I walked to the watchtower I climbed up the ladder and laid there crying.
"if he dies. I'll live with the guilt. He died to save my life." I said to myself while crying. I heard someone coming up the ladders I looked and saw Garth he sat next to me and cuddled me.
"you know he was brave enough to save you. It was his choice and he did save you twice. If he does pass away then he has my eternal respect and if he lives then he also has my eternal respect. I mean he risked his ass twice for this whole Base. Your whole family. Now that is loyalty. I can tell he is ex army. Due to his skills. But he had no chance against Hutch. He was ex s.a.s man. I thought he would be the most loyal of all of us. But I was wrong. Humphrey was.
Humphrey's P.O.V
I awoke to a sudden shock to my chest. I saw Eve. She sighed in relief. She looked at my arm and saw it was all twisted and misplaced. "Humphrey warning you now this is gonna hurt." She picked up my arm I gritted my teeth. I heard a pop I yelped a bit then she popped my shoulder twice. I threw up from the pain and then passed out.
FLASHBACK A FEW MONTHS BACK
I was walking the streets of Atlanta when I heard a scream I turn around and see a small child on the floor. She had fallen over and misplaced her kneecap. I picked her up and took her to the nearest building, I went into the building, I saw a few zeds In there I pulled out my knife and stabbed all of them in the head. I cleared the rest of the zeds out then i went back downstairs to the little girl. "how are you doing. Where are your parents or carers sweetheart?" I heard someone banging on the door. I went over to the door and saw a woman standing there. I opened the door. "is my daughter in there. She is yeigh high and has blonde hair." I let her in. "there she is. But she has a misplaced kneecap. Can you keep her calm while i pop it back into place please." I say to her. She nodded. I went to the little girls knee. I popped it back into place. She went to scream but I covered her mouth as she screamed…
End of flashback…
I awake as I look around, I see Eve sleeping next to me. I saw Kate sleeping while holding my hand. I blush as I smile. I see Garth standing at the door. He turned around. He chuckled.
"you took quite a beating there sir. I must say you survived the attack and killing blow of a S.A.S soldier. You sir are a survivor." he smiled as he came and sat next to me. I saw Lily come into the room. She waved at me as she sat next to me and cuddled into my arm. "I'm glad your OK Humphrey. We were all worried sick. Thank you so much for saving us." she said as she smiled she pecked me on the cheek. I looked at Garth. "you came to the rescue. Thanks man." you saved our arses." he chuckled. Nah mostly you brother. If it weren't for you calling me. I wouldn't have known. So it was all you dude."
I heard moaning. I looked to my side and saw Kate waking up. She looked at me. She opened her eyes and jumped at me cuddling me. "HUMPHREY! YOUR ALIVE!" I chuckled
"well at least the last time I checked i was alive" I say as I chuckle. I looked to my left and saw Eve wake up. She opened her eyes and saw me awake. "well I'm glad you survived Humphrey. Man you don't know what it took to keep you alive." she said as she smiled.
Winston walked in and saw me awake. "well good morning Humphrey you survived to my wife's amazing medical skills. Well anyway we will be on the move from tomorrow at dawn. We will pack everything today and get some sleep tonight before. We leave for the next city…
NEXT TIME ON THE STATES OF DECAY…
THE NEXT MORNING.
Humphrey's P.O.V
"Ok Lilly and garth take the truck with the rest of the survivors. Kate, Humphrey you take the 4x4. Me and Eve will take the BMW." Winston ordered, We all got into our designated Cars and we all left the Base behind.
"Umm sir what's the next city?" I asked curiously. "Las Vegas" Winston replied. I looked at Kate. "umm sir. That ain't a good idea. That place is burnt down to the ground. That was the first place that was plague freed. But I heard Atlanta is a good place and I know a few people round there too." I replied to Winston….
