"Get up naps over Nick... Come on!" a stern voice called out, the tapping of a foot could also be heard. "Ugh, what?" Nick said to whoever was the one who woke him up from his surprise nap. His voice held a hint of coldness as well as tiredness. "I said, NAP IS OVER GET YOUR ASS UP" The voice roared at him, shooting a warning shot at the wall. The noise of the bullet caused Nick to jump to his feet and aim his own gun at the person responsible. Realising who it was, Nick lowered the gun and sighed "Seriously Tina, was that necessary".
"Yes Nick, it was. To be honest, I just like pointing my gun at you and maybe next time, it won't be a warning shot" She coldly told him, mimicking the evil glare he was giving her. "Ok you two, Enough of this, Let's go!" Rochelle spoke out, deciding to stand in-between the two, giving them both looks of disapproval. "You're right" Tina said in a more cheery mood, causing Nick to glare more at her sudden change of mood. Rochelle turned on her heel and headed over to the door, making a gesture for the rest of the group to follow. Nick dropped his eye contact from Tina and decided to head over to the table, which held ammo, guns and a few melee weapons.
He immediately noticed Ellis next to him, fumbling about with the ammo. "So we're about to see that girl again - what's her name, Zoey?" Nick said to Ellis, waiting for his reaction. "Okay, you know what? No need to remind me, Nick. I'm a nervous wreck over here." Ellis said, giving Nick a concern look. "What're you nervous about? You had your chance, and you didn't do shit. Now, you can watch Nick take care of business." Nick spoke in confidence, but also mocking the capped man, who was shocked at what had been said. But Ellis wasn't the only one shocked at this, Tina was happily waiting at the saferoom door, waiting for Nick and Ellis to finish what they were doing. As she heard the last sentence, she felt angry at this and shot Nick another glare, but he couldn't see this one. "Nick, Leave him alone." Rochelle said, noticing the glare Tina was giving Nick.
"I'm ready y'all" Ellis spoke out, joining the others. "All right then, Let's go!" Coach said, opening the saferoom door. Making their way out, Tina waited until everyone was out before she followed; she was still trying to think why Nick would say something like that. "Because he's a cheating scumbag, what do you expect girl!" Her mind raced, taunting her with more things. "ugh" she said quietly, but Ellis was close enough to hear this, giving her a look of concern and wanting to ask her what was wrong, but he knew now wasn't the time. Following the others up a set of stairs, they soon found themselves facing the other three survivors from earlier, Ellis's face lit up at the sight of Zoey.
"Hey! Alright. While you guys were gone, I came up with a plan. To do this quicker, we should break up into teams. Guys, you're shirts. Everybody else, skins...Now let's go!" Francis said, smirking over at Nick. "Yeah yeah, Let's get this generator filled up and working" Nick responded back, heading over to the elevator. The rest of the group followed him, as much as Ellis didn't want to, He knew he had to. He smiled up at Zoey and ran over to the elevator to join his friends. "Ok, everyone ready?" Tina asked, observing the port as the elevator moved down, They all nodded over at the girl; who was still mapping out her surroundings.
"Let's go!" Rochelle yelled, running out the elevator and over to the house with the others, to meet up with Zoey, Francis and Louis. "There might be some cans upstairs, I'll go check" Ellis yelled, running upstairs. To his surprise, there were two gas cans up there. Ellis grabbed one of the cans, while Coach grabbed one that was behind the bar. "Great we have two, just eight more to get!" Nick shouted. Ellis and Coach threw the two cans over to the generator and then ran in to the building opposite the generator room, whilst Rochelle, Nick and Tina ran up the path in front of them and in to the building that came in to view. "We have two more cans in here" Rochelle shouted, throwing one of the cans at Nick. As both of the cans were picked up, the sound of a horde came and was soon seen in the distance. "Let's hurry, I have your backs" Tina called out, Taking out her pistols to shoot at the horde that was coming their way.
"Got another one" the southern boy spoke out, picking up a gas can he'd found in a small office, that was on the second floor of the building him and Coach were exploring. Ellis ran out on to the balcony, noticing he had a good view of the generator, so he threw the gas can over. He then made his way back inside to assist Coach, making sure no infected had harmed him. "Shit, Goo" Coach called out, this alerted Ellis to the first floor where he saw the bigger man, pushing a horde of zombies back with the can, whilst trying hard enough not to step in the goo nor drop the can. "I'll save yew" Ellis said, bringing out a pipe bomb and throwing it out of the building, with all the zombies following, Ellis began shooting at the Spitter who was now on the second floor with him. "Got it!" Ellis said, running down the stairs to see if Coach was all right. "Thank's Young'un" Coach said, handing Ellis the other gas can he had found. The younger man just smiled and headed out, back to the generator to add this to the collecting of cans they had gathered.
"Ugh! Smokers got me" Tina shouted. "Get this big guy off of me" Nick also yelled. "Shit, we've got to help them!" Coach shouted to Ellis. Running off in direction of his friends, Ellis was close to his friends until he heard a loud crash next to him. "Crap, TANK!" he shouted. Luckily Ellis had an idea on how to deal with this tank while trying to help Tina and Nick. Shooting at the tank, Ellis kited it around the generator and shooting stray bullets at the smoker and charger to get them off his friends. Coach noticed that Rochelle was no where to be seen, so he took off down the road and made his way through a gap in the wall along the road. Coach found Rochelle laying on the otherside of the wall, she had been incapacitated by a horde of Zombies. "Come on now, let's get you up" He said, helping her up. "Thanks" she smiled at him. "GET THIS THING OFF OF ME" Nick's voice was heard close by, "This way" Ro panicked, limping over to Nick. Both of them had found the charger was still harming Nick and began shooting at it. But Coach had noticed the smoker from before was still attacking Tina, "I'll go deal with that" He said, as he reloaded his pistols and began shooting at the smoker.
Freeing Tina from the now dead smoker, Coach sat the girl up right and tended to her wounds, she looked awful. "Are you all right?" He said, making her swallow some pills, while he was bandaging up the cuts she had received. Coughing, she looked at Coach and smiled "I'll be all right.. Thank you." He smiled back, getting up on his feet to help Tina up. "Coach it's fine, I can pick myself up." she said, forcing herself up on her feet. He shrugged his shoulders and turned around to see if Nick and Ro were all right and by the looks of it, they were. Both of them were lobbing gas cans over to the generator. "Tina, you head over to the generator and start filling it up with all the cans that are there." Nick firmly said, Tina looked at him and was about to say something, but was shoved by Nick. "JUST GO" he growled.
Tina obeyed and ran over to the generator. As she ran, she heard the growls of a tank behind her and the sounds of another horde making it's way to them. "Oh god.."She thought as she continued to run. "Keep running and get the generator filled up. We'll keep all the zombies away" Nick yelled at Tina. She looked back at him for a quick second and gave him a thumbs up to what he said. Getting to the generator, she saw Ellis leaning against near the generator room entrance. "Are you all right there?" She said, running over to him. "Yaah, I'm doin' guud just kited a tank, so you know.. just a tiny bit knackered.. haha" He spoke, breathing heavily. "Nick told me to start filling up the generator, would you help? I'm a bit messed up from being attacked by a smoker." Tina asked. "Sure" he said, pushing his back off the wall and moving over to the generator, As he started filling the generator, The sound of a third tank and a new horde were incoming. Tina looked over at the others and noticed that there were now two tanks attacking them. "Two tanks at a time?!" Tina shouted, seeing the other tank come from the right. "Yew get in to the generator room, you're too injured to fight two tanks. I'll go help Nick and the others." Ellis yelled as he dropped the can.
She obeyed Ellis though and ran inside, only to trip over something."Ouch!" she yelped, falling to her knees. She looked at what had caused her fall over. "Gramps?" she softly spoke, eyeing the corpse that sat up against one of the big generators. "No no no no no this can't be..." tears filled her eyes as she moved herself closer to the body. As Tina took the corpses hat off for a closer look, she realised it was him. Pushing herself back, she kept the hat in her hands and her eyes fixed to the floor "...gramps.." her voice had became croaky and a lump formed in her throat. She began to cry, not remembering there were two tanks and a horde of zombies to deal with outside. As Tina cried more, she flung herself onto his dead body to give him a hug, hoping he would maybe come back to life. But while hugging the body, she didn't realise a spitter was behind her. As it got closer to her, the spitter spat some goo at her; landing by her feet, they began to burn. "Ughhh" she flailed, letting go of her grandpa's body, rolling to side trying to avoid anymore acid goo touching her.
Tina lifted up head up and glared at the spitter. "You.. you look different from the spitters we've encountered." Tina said quietly, examining the spitter as it began to come nearer. Rubbing her red sore eyes, she noticed the spitter was wearing what looked like an elegant black dress and her hair was short and brown, different from every other spitter that she had encountered. "you look like someone I've seen before." Tina spoke, but she couldn't work out who she was trying to remember. Tina got up, wobbly at first, but managed to sustain her balance. She quickly moved outside of the room, Ignoring how painful her feet felt and over to the generator; hoping her friends were alright. Nick, Coach and Rochelle were still dealing with the horde, the survivors on the top were aiding in that as well, whilst Ellis had began filling up the generator again.
The spitter that was inside with Tina came out and tried to spit at her again. But by that time Nick had turned around and shot at it before it could. The sound of something small hitting the ground caught Tina's attention, As she looked down at the body of the spitter, She noticed a ring. Quickly picking it up, She pockected the ring in the lab coat she was wearing and ran back in to the generator room. Tina ignored the callings of her friends and sat back down by the corpse of her grandpa and decided to search the pockets of his jacket. "Where is it..." she said ignoring intense pain her feet were in, as she searched the pockets she soon found what she was looking for. Bringing out a picture, Tina wiped more tears from her eyes and quickly put the picture in one of her inside pockets, because she heard footsteps from the outside coming in. "Tina, Are you al-" Nick asked running in, until he saw the corpse of Bill and the mess Tina was in. Looking up at Nick, She just gave him a weak smile. "I'm sorry.." He spoke out, not knowing what to do or say. "It's.. fine..Is the gas tank filled?" She asked, still looking at Nick with her saddness. "Uh..Yeah. That was the reason why I came in here.. Are you ready or do you need more time?" Nick asked. Tina looked over at the body and then back at Nick. "Give me a few seconds to say goodbye to him..will you?.." she quietly spoke, trying to hold back more tears. "I'll be waiting outside the building for you then.." He answered her with a soft voice and walked out to the other.
Looking over at Bill's body, She leaped into another hug and began crying more. "I love you so much grandpa, why did you have to die.. I'm going to miss you so much and the stories you used to tell me. Rest in peace, I'll come back for you when this is over, I promised." she softly said. As she slowly got up, she realised how painful her feet were. "Oh freaking hell, This is so painful" She screeched as she began walking carefully.
As she got out of the generator room, she couldn't stop moaning in pain from her feet. Slowly walking passed Nick, she looked at him and gave a cold look. "Thanks for offering to help me." she spoke. Nick stood there in shock at what she had just said. He wasn't going to take this crap from her, "Fine, I'll help you now then!" he yelled. He began walking fast towards Tina and managed to sweep her up into his arms; not caring if she was hitting him or not. "LET ME DOWN NOW" she protesting, trying to reach for one of her guns. "No Tina, now shut up. if I let you walk like this you'll be zombie meat for sure." he sternly spoken. This left her baffled, he was right, if she was walking she would be a dead right now.
As they got to the car, Nick place her into the back with Rochelle and Coach. "Shit, what happened to you" Coach spoke out, concerned about the condtion of Tina's feet. "I was careless and didn't notice the spitter behind me" Tina responded. Taking off her burnt shoes, she threw them out of the car before shutting the door, She was lucky to have brought a spare pair with her. "Well, we'll get your feet bandaged up in no time, looks like your right foot took more damage." Rochelle said as she began helping Tina with her feet. "I have some cream in my rucksack that is good for burns." Tina said rummaging through her rucksack. Nick got in to the passenger seat, not saying a word about what he saw to anyone. He decided to have a nap instead, while he waited for the girls to finish what they were doing; So that Ellis could drive off. "Done" Rochelle and Tina said. Taking out a pair of boots she had in her large rucksack, she placed the boots on to her bandaged feet and threw the rucksack onto the floor. Hearing this, Ellis knew this was the signal for him. So he stepped turned the key, put the car into gear, stepped on the peddle and they were out of here. "Bye Ellis, bye Rochelle, bye Coach, bye Nick!" Zoey shouted as she waved goodbye to her newly made friends.
Chapter 5 will be cool, hopefully some flashbacks and probably

So this will be fun to write!
