Chapter Three:
Down the hallway and into the chaos we hurled ourselves. Blood was being shed, and people were turning right before our eyes. This must be a new kind of BOW. Their slender bodies were twisted visions of something that was once animal as they slinked around and crawled all over. Lickers.
Jake as his typical and reckless self began shooting at almost anything which moved. I threw my arm out to stop him, and raised my own gun. I am not the best shot in the world, but at least I can say that I have gotten better. While I was not getting head and heart shots and looking all bad ass, I was sending many bullets and at least hitting my targets. Their stomach, the joints in their legs, an arm, neck occasionally, but mostly the stomach. Hey~! it's the easiest part of these damn things to aim at!
"Sherry"! Jake called out from down another side of the hallway. I kept my stance and shook my head at him. I was not about to leave everyone here to die while I escaped. You could see the disappointed growl on his face as he returned to help kill the mutations. "Everyone who can move and hear! I need you to follow me and I will do what I can to help get you out of here"! I called out. But... No one was listening. Everyone was too scared and panicked to even look at me much less follow me.
"Hey, I can help you", I said to someone as I grabbed their arm. This person looked at me as if I were a freak, but nodded in a sort of agreement anyway. I did this same thing to a few other people. Some accepted, some just refuse, and others were to scared in the terror of it all to even listen. I took the few people I could, with Jake and began to head for the stairs.
