Miss Queen B: Did anyone who saw the movie Zombieland had a sudden crave for Twinkies afterwards? After seeing the movie which was great in every single way (since the zombies were fast and had humor in it) My boyfriend and I bought a big box of Twinkies and stayed up all night eating them while watching cheesy horror films…….anyway…..

Thanks for the reviews everyone, I'll try to update quicker than before. So here's chapter three, in Ryan's point of view.


Chapter Three

On The Road

I didn't get much sleep last night and it wasn't from the fact that the people of this town went all crazy and hungry it was mostly from the smoke. The fire from across the street was still going on and already burn down seven houses and working on the eighth one. My neck was throbbing and the smoke was making me dizzy as hell. I looked behind me to see how Bobbi was doing. She had her back towards me and was curled up in a tight ball but I wasn't sure if she was asleep or not. I look back at the streets and stared at the people, very much dead, walking in and out of my house or just roaming the streets for other people. Other than that, the street was pretty much empty but once and awhile I would hear screams and something crashing and exploding from the far distance.

I took out my cell phone and check the time and hopefully to see if my brother had call. It was seven in the morning and still no phone call from Tim. I already called him five times but didn't get anything but his voice mail and what made it worse that my phone was low on battery. I didn't want to alarm Bobbi about this or that I had my phone because she was already in some kind of trauma trance at the moment.

Suddenly, Bobbi begins to couch and shake a little bit before rolling on her back. She coughed again then just stared at me. Her hair was a mess and her make-up was smeared from crying all night. "Ryan, I don't feel good" She said, frowning.

"It's just the smoke," I said, coughing a bit too.

She frowned and rolled back into a ball again, but this time facing me as if waiting for me to say something to comfort her. I had nothing…….that's not my style. "What are going to do" She asked.

"I don't know, there's not much we can do since we have no food or water, a gun with five bullets left and no way to get out of here. (Not to mention a phone with very little battery life yet.)

"I wish I knew what was going on" Bobbi said.

"Well why not go back down and watch T.V. and hope that those weirdos out there won't eat you and tear you to pieces" I said.

"You don't have to be a smartass, Ryan" She said, sitting up with her legs cross, "This is serious, if we don't get out of here we're going to choke on this smoke"

"You don't think I know that Bobbi, but you're forgetting one thing and they're walking around like mindless corpses on the street" I shouted, pointing at the streets down below.

"RYAN!" She shouted at me while getting up, "Dammit, I wish I had my purse so I can smack you across the face with."

"Well too bad, it's down there with your other shit, why don't you go get it and hope to live to see the afternoon"

Then she started to cry which kind of shock me because this was the first time I made her cry. Now I can cross that goal off my list I had in my head but, I kindly turned back to the world when she called me a Monster before turning away and going back into her small ball.

"Fine, I don't care anymore, I'll just wait till we're rescue or die from this smoke"

I stared at her before I rolled my eyes and walked over to her. "Stupid little half-breed boy name idiot" I said to her and she gave me the finger. "I think I know a way out of here but it's risky"

"What do you have in mind" She asked.

I walked over to the edge of the house and pointed at the house next to us, "My stupid ass neighbors left out of town a couple of days ago so I doubt the Man-eaters attack the house."

"So what does that have to do with our escape" She asked.

"They took the van so I know they left their car in the garage. If we get across to the other house and run down to the garage, we'll get in the car and leave the town.

"Sounds stupid because how are we going to get to the house when we're up here" She asked.

"Well, here's the risky part, we'll take the ladder and place it between the houses and walk across it" I said. It sounds stupid and suicidal, but that's the best I could think of.

"That sounds stupid and suicidal" She said.

"It does not, now are you with me or not" I shouted at her.

She coughs a bit and wipes her red eyes, "Like I have a choice besides we need to drive over to Tim's work to see if he alive, he probably hurt or worse all alone and-"

"Bobbi, shut up and give me a hand here"

She got up and with all our strength we lifted the ladder up and slowly hover it over to the other house. We placed it down with then Bobbi made a small disapproval hiss. "It's going to fall" She said.

With the ladder stretch out between the houses there was only one inch of it on the roof and one wrong move and it could fall to a depth that was twenty-two feet down. I could died right here next to my house and be eaten by Dead people it this plan goes wrong. If that happens I'll curse them to choke on my flesh. "No, it won't, you have to trust me"

"I don't" Bobbi said, looking at me with a yucky face. She looks funny with her make-up all smeared and messed up.

"Fine be that way, I'm going to walk across and get out of here. You can sit here and rot if you want." He said.

Bobbi said nothing as I look back at the ladder then down at the ground. Three people covered in blood and missing a few body parts looked up and stretch their arms as far up as they can. As if they can reach me this high up, those fucking idiots. I swallowed the lump in my throat and could actually hear my heart pounding and a light knot in my stomach. "Hold the ladder so I can walk across" I said to Bobbi but didn't face her.

"You're crazy" I heard her say.

"HOLD THE LADDER SO I CAN WALK ACROSS" I shouted at her.

She flinched, sat down on her knees and held the ladder with her hands. "I will not blame your death on me" She said.

I rolled my eyes and took my first step on the ladder which jiggle a bit and made my heart stop for a bit. I slowly got on my knees and started to crawl like a toddler while gripping it as tight as I can.

"Ryan," Bobbi said in a concern voice.

"Shut it, I'm trying to concentrate" I said.

I didn't look down, I just focus my sight on the other house while pretending there was money or an iPod on the other side of the house. I was half way there knowing one drop down and I will be a buffet to the people on the ground when the ladder started shaking again. I looked back to see Bobbi shaking it a bit from coughing. The smoke was getting to her, "Bobbi, stop shaking the ladder, please"

"I'm sorry, I can't breathe" She said.

I crawled a little faster till finally I was on the other side of the house. My knees started to throb a bit as I turned around to face Bobbi again. "Ok, I'm on the other side, now it's your turn"

Bobbi looked at me with a sad, weak, sick face then at the ladder then back at me. "I can't do it, I'll fall"

"You won't fall, you have to do this on else you're going to be stuck on that roof forever" I said.

The Ugly-side of me would just told her off and leave her here to rot while I get the car and drive away, but I couldn't do that to my brother whether he was alive or not. "Now stop being stupid and crawl over to me"

She wiped her tears from her eyes turning the skin around them black from her make-up and nodded. She slowly got down on her knees while I grabbed the ladder for a firm hold and started to crawl very slowly over to me. She was only a foot away from the roof when she stopped and looked down at the people.

"Don't look at them" I said.

"Too late, I can't do this" She said.

"Yes, you can now just look at me and crawl" I shouted.

She stared at me again, took a deep breath and started to crawl again. The ladder started to shake a bit due to her being so nervous and she couldn't stop crying. Her eyes were shut tight only to open wide when her knee slipped thought the ladder. She screamed as she collapsed a bit and wrapped her arms around the metal thing and screamed again.

"Bobbi, stop screaming" I shouted.

She screamed again, "OH MY GOD, I'M GOING TO FALL, OH MY GOD"

"BOBBI!" I hollered, "I need to you pull yourself together and get over here NOW" I shouted.

She hesitated for a second then finally regained her balance and placed her fallen knee back on the ladder. She looked at me with so much fear in her eyes that it kind of made my blood chill for a bit as she crawled the rest of the way to the other house. When her fingers finally touch the roof of the house she literally leaped in the air and crash into me with full force that I fell backwards. The ladder fell making a loud thump with a few people groaning at the bottom of the ground causing Bobbi to tighten her grip on me.

I stood there waiting for her to move since I was the one tied up by her arms. I do must note that this is the first time a woman pressed her entire body against mind and since I don't mind feeling every "bump" around her upper body this wasn't case because I hate her.

"You can let go of me now" I said, annoyed.

Reality finally hit her and she pulled away and just sat there and stared at her legs. "Sorry, I just got scared"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, but if we're going to get out of here we need to stop being pansies and get to that car"

She nodded and stood up and just stared at me for the next step. I took a deep breath and walked over to the edge of the house. Right below me of this one story house, a few of the dead people left to other houses but there were still about five of them looking up at us. Bobbi stayed still as I walked all around the edge of the roof to see how we can get into the house. I walked over to the side of the house where the backyard was and noticed the fence was still up and lock. Then I noticed their small grill and remembered they had a glass sliding door…

"I got an idea" I said to Bobbi.

"I hope it's better than the last one" Bobbi said, frowning.

"We have to be very quick about it too. The house narrows downs a bit at the edge so we have to jump off the roof."

"Are you CRAZY" she shouted.

"yes, I am but that's the only way we can get into the house," I shouted," Now follow me

I jumped off the roof hearing Bobbi screaming at me before landing clumsily on my feet. My whole body fell forward to the ground before I quickly got up. I could hear the Dead people snarling and banging on the fence surrounding the backyard. I looked up at Bobbi as she sat down and crawl over to the edge and prepared herself to jump. I didn't have time to yell at her as I rush over to the small grilled and picked it up. The dust from the charcoal splash onto my face and up my nose, but I ignored it and ran over to the slide door. Bobbi finally jumped off the roof and landed on all fours before rolling onto her back. She sat up just in time to see me tossing the grill with all my might against the glass sliding door. There was a huge smashing sound causing glass to spill everywhere in the house follow by a light fog of black dust. I stood there with a large grin on my face while Bobbi got up from the floor and rubbed her back.

"Awesome" I said.

Plywood on the fence flew off the fence that was only ten feet away from me showing one of the Dead people groaning and sticking her arms through. A few more plywood flew off the fence as I grabbed Bobbi's hand and headed inside. I literally jumped over the fallen grill and headed over to the kitchen and looked around.

"Keys, keys, keys" I said to myself, "where are those fucking keys"

Bobbi flinched when she head glass from the front windows shattering follow by snarls and groans. "They're coming, Ryan" She said, tearing up again.

"Come on" I said, heading over to the garage.

Before I could opened the door I spotted one of the Dead People peeking his head into the broken sliding door. It looked like someone just grabbed hold of his face's skin and tore it off. All you can see was his cheek's fat and the backset of his teeth. Blood was dripping down his neck and shirt. I opened the door and shoved Bobbi into the garage before heading in and shutting the door behind me. Forgetting my strength I cause Bobbi to lose her balance as she tumbled a few feet before hitting the car. She hissed in pain as she got up and checked to see if the doors to the car were unlocked.

I nearly flinched when the door behind me suddenly bent inward before hearing the Dead People banging on it so hard that little splinters started to fall off. I pressed my hands on the door to keep it from breaking off and yelled, "Is the door unlocked!"

Bobbi limped over to the driver's door and opened it, "Oh God, we're in luck" She said.

"Well don't just stand there" I shouted as my body bounce from the Dead People hitting the door. "Get in but I'm driving"

Bobbi crawled into the car and sat in the passenger's seat. She spotted something and picked it up. "I found the garage door opener" She shouted.

As a big risk because I believed I only had maybe a minute to get away from the door and over to the car, I rushed over, got in and slammed the car door behind me. Not wasting time to think or looked back, I literally dive under the steering wheel and started tearing it apart and arranging wires.

"Ryan" Bobbi said in a fearful tone.

The whole place felt like a drum, the Dead people were just banging their fist on the garage door, the door behind us and the small window that was on Bobbi's side. When the small window shattered, Bobbi screamed and I felt a spark causing the motor to start.

"I got it, I got it, open the garage door, Bobbi, open it now"

Bobbi closed her eyes and pressed the button. The garage door started to open slowly and I can see blood-soaked arms and fingers prying their way inside. The door behind us finally broke and the Dead People literally slammed their bodies against the car. Blood splattered everywhere causing Bobbi to scream and curl up into a ball. I looked the door and put the car into drive. The garage door was only halfway up when I told Bobbi to keep her head down and slammed on the gas pedal. The car slammed against the garage door so hard that it bent it upward as we started to bounce up and down due to me running over a couple of people here and there.

I made a sharp turn, running over a few more people, (slightly enjoying it a bit since I love to feeling of power over the weak) and drove off down the street. I looked back to see spits and splatters of blood and red handprints all over the car window only to see about a dozen people chasing after us. I made another sharp turn the headed into the main road that lead to the city.

Bobbi was still curled up in a ball and shaking like a madmen, "Bobbi, it's ok, we're not trapped anymore" I said.

Her bloodshot red eyes opened up and started to mutter something. I looked ahead at the town of Corpus Christi and saw smoke from burning buildings and Helicopters from the sky. No doubt there was a lot of commotion going on in that town. I looked at the gas tank and was in luck that we have more than half a tank and I cleared my throat.

"I want Tim" Bobbi finally spoke, shivering a bit from all this stress.

"You and I both know his job is in the City and I'm not going in there since that's where most of the disaster is" I said.

"I don't care, I want to see him!" Bobbi raised her voice, "We got to make sure he alright"

"NO," I shouted, "I love Tim just as much as you do, but I'm not going risk it, Bobbi, that suicide"

And that's when Bobbi lost it…

"YOU BASTARD, HE'S YOUR BROTHER, AFTER ALL CRAP HE DID FOR YOU AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BALLS TO GO LOOK FOR HIM!!!!" Bobbi shouted and started to hit me with her fist.

That was the first time I seen her so pissed off since her hitting was actually hurting my arm that I almost lost control of the car. I finally grabbed one of her fist and yank it hard enough for her to stop and I stared at her, "Calm the Fuck down, it's not going to do us any good if you make me cash this car"

Bobbi was breathing heavily as she stared at me, "I love him, please," She begged, "Please, please, please"

I turned my attention back to the road, we were about two miles away from the city as I made a sharp left turn and crash right into another Dead Person and watch him tumbled over the car and landing harshly behind us. I took a deep breath and could feel her eyes staring at me and waiting for me to answer.

"Alright, we'll go look for him but if we don't find him we'll try to get whatever supplies we can get and we're leaving this town and find some help, Alright"

First time since last night, she smiled and placed herself back into her seat. "Thank you," She said.

I shook my head as I ran over another Dead people so hard that his left arm flew off and started to hear my heart beating. I love my brother more than anything, but I don't think even he would venture out on a suicidal mission into a town swarming with Flesh-eating Dead People.

Bobbi, on the other hand, was smiling and for a moment, I didn't see one trace of fear in her……


Chapter Four: Unwanted Guest: While Ryan and Bobbi search for Tim, they found an untouched Department store to gather supplies only to find a few survivors and Ryan learns that Bobbi had some history with one of the Survivors.
