The five survivors were now in a shop that they crashed in for the night, Little Rock was in the bathroom at the back, checking her bite. She still hadn't told anyone about it, she had been crying in there for about 15 minutes straight.

"Okay, I have to keep my mind off this, I can't let anyone notice that I've been crying. Act normal." Little Rock cleaned up her act and walked back into the shop. Everyone was fighting.

"We're going to Pasadena next!"

"No! We can't go there! It's more populated! We're going to Philadelphia!"

"Guys! Please stop fighting! Fuck me!"

"Shut up Columbus! You're one to talk! You and all your rules!"

"Hey Florida, that's my boyfriend! Shut the fuck up!"

"Excuse me?! Well if he's your boyfriend how come you were cheating on him with California?!"

"I was not!"

"You were too!"

"Twinkie loving asshole!"

"Cheating Hoe sister!" Wichita gasped.

"You, take that back!"

"NO!"

"Fine then!" Wichita walked over to a bag she had and pulled out a box of Twinkies.

"Well then I guess you're not getting these!" Wichita waved the Twinkies in the air and Tallahassee widened his eyes.

"Where'd you find them?!"

"Up your ass! Where do you think?!!!"

"Gimme them!"

"No! You wanna know what I'm going to do to them?!" Wichita ripped the box open and threw the Twinkies on the ground. She started jumping on them and squashing them. Tallahassee screamed.

"NO!!!" Wichita stopped and stood there with her arms crossed. Tallahassee then narrowed his eyes and started running at her.

"Oh shit." Wichita screamed and starting running away. All of a sudden Columbus walked over to Scotty and kicked him really hard in the shin.

"OW! What the fuck was that for?!"

"That was for making out with my girlfriend!"

"Pfft! Girlfriend?! Who would want to date you?!" Little Rock looked at Columbus then back at Scotty.

"Do you want me to go ape shit on your ass?!"

"BRING IT!!!" Columbus ran at Scotty and jumped on him then started to punch him. Scotty was yelling.

"Ow! Ouch! Fuck me! Stop pinching me- OW! HE BIT ME!!!" Columbus then got off Scotty and finally kicked him in the nuts. Really hard, to finish him off.

Rule #17... Be a Hero.

Little Rock ran over to Columbus and dragged him into the bathroom and left Scotty lying on the floor and her sister and Tallahassee to fight over Twinkies.

"What's the matter Little Rock?" She slowly turned around and looked at Columbus on the verge of tears.

"Shit, Little Rock. What happened?" Little Rock then pulled up her sleeve to show Columbus the bite. Columbus went ghost white.

"O-Oh my God." Columbus felt like he was going to faint. So he leaned up against the sink. He then walked over to the younger one and lifted her arm to take a closer look at the bite.

"How did this happen?" Little Rock started crying.

"Well, when I was still unconscious, a zombie must have made its way over to me and it… It bit me." Little Rock fell down to her knees and started crying her eyes out. Obviously someone had heard this so they came and knocked on the door. It was Wichita.

"Hey guys. Everything okay in there?" Columbus went to open the door, then Little Rock stopped him.

"Columbus, don't tell my sister. Please, just don't." Columbus nodded and opened the door to stick his head out. Wichita was standing there with raised eyebrows.

"Everything alright?"

"Yeah, everything's fine. Just doing… Some yoga." He smiled at Wichita.

"Yoga? In a bathroom?" Wichita smirked.

"And more importantly, with my 13-year-old sister?" She then raised an eyebrow.

"Uhh… Yeah why not? I'm getting her more fit." He smiled again.

"Okaay? I'm not asking. Just, don't hurt yourselves. You never know, you could hit your head off the toilet." Wichita then started laughing and walked back to the two boys. Columbus then locked the door and sat down with Little Rock and started checking out the bite.

"Okay, you're going to find this hard to believe, but when I was in college I went to medical school." Little Rock looked at Columbus with disbelief.

"Are you serious? Can you fix this?" Columbus helped Little Rock up and shrugged.

"Maybe, I'll see what I can do. Alright, I'm taking you to the hospital down the road. All the supplies will be there. Okay? So when we get out of here, just act normal, and pretend like nothing has happened."

"I've done that the past day." Little Rock gave Columbus a small smile and he smiled back.

"Okay ready?" Little Rock nodded.

"Okay, let's go." Columbus instructed. They walked out of the bathroom and made their way outside, then all of a sudden, Tallahassee stopped them.

"Where you heading spit-fuck?" Columbus turned to Tallahassee.

"We're just going for a little drive to get some fresh air. Just around the block." Scotty butted in.

"Around the block? There's zombies everywhere you idiot."

"The Hummer can handle them, right Little Rock?" At that everyone stared at Little Rock.

"Uh… Yeah I guess." Columbus nodded and smiled.

"See? We'll be no longer than half an hour or so. You can trust us." They looked at Wichita.

"I can trust them… Little Rock knows how to set things straight, she's my sister for god sake. Yeah guys, go ahead."

"Thank you." Columbus nodded.

"Bye." Little Rock smiled and waved.

"See ya later, sis. Love you. Stay safe." Little Rock smiled and walked out following Columbus into the Hummer. Little Rock stared out her window and Columbus kept checking her the odd time. They finally got to the hospital and Little Rock walked into a bathroom and Columbus kindly stayed beside the door to keep watch. All of a sudden he heard a thud and he knocked on the door.

"Little Rock? You okay?" There was no answer. He then warned her that he was coming in. Still no answer, he opened the door then saw Little Rock passed out on the floor.

"Oh shit. That's not good." He ran in, lifted Little Rock and brought her into a room. He lay her on a bed and started operating.

"Okay. I need to give her morphine so she stays asleep, I need to give a skin graph, I need to stitch her up, and I also need to stop talking to myself." Columbus went and grabbed a vaccine. He gave Little Rock the shot and ran to get a needle, stitches, a scalpel and a shot. He took the blood from the infected part of her arm then got alcohol rub and cleaned it out. Luckily the infected blood hadn't gotten into her bloodstream yet, so she would be fine. Next, Columbus took a skin graph. He took skin from Little Rock's leg and put it on her bite, after that, he stitched her up. Lastly he got a bandage, wrapped it tightly around the wound and stuck it together. Columbus then sat on the chair beside the bed and waited for Little Rock to wake up. He dosed for about 15 minutes, then, another 15 minutes later, Little Rock woke up, unaware of where she was.

"Oh thank God, you're okay." Little Rock tiredly opened her eyes and shook her head.

"What are you talking about Columbus?" She tried to get up but the room was spinning.

"Wow. Okay, why is there a giant ice-cream sundae in here?" Columbus raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, that's just the morphine. I might have given you a little too much, but, it'll wear off soon." Little Rock nodded and tried to
stand up. But when all of her weight was put onto her legs, they started to wobble.

"Wow, easy tiger. Don't try physical stuff just yet." Little Rock nodded again. Columbus then decided just to carry her out to the Hummer instead.

"So, Columbo, what's the deal with fashion diva's these days? I mean, they're so bitchy!" Columbus started smirking because he knew Little Rock would come out with completely random things. But he didn't brace himself for it…

"I'm the zombie killing machine and I kick absolute ass! Right Ohio?!" Columbus nodded,

"Oh yes, Little Rock. You do kick absolute ass."

"Thank you darling!" When they got to the Hummer, Little Rock had fallen asleep because the effect had warn off. When they got back to the shop, Wichita was waiting for them at the door. Columbus came in carrying Little Rock.

"What happened?!"

"Nothing. She fell asleep when we were out." Columbus smiled at his girlfriend and they kissed. At that moment in time, Little Rock woke up in Columbus' arms to find him and her older sister kissing. She rolled her eyes and put her hands on each ones face and pushed them apart.

"Oh, you're awake."

"Great timing Little Rock." Little Rock rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, from now on, set me down before you make out. Not a very nice view from down here, thank you very much." Columbus set Little Rock down to walk on her own, hopefully. In great amazement she was walking perfectly fine. But then, Little Rock walked into her bedroom and collapsed screaming…

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Columbus walked in and said.

"I told you not to push it, besides, you won't be able to run for days, so no more cardio for you." Little Rock looked up at Columbus and flicked hair out of her face sighing.

"You're fucking loving this aren't you?"

"Yup pretty much!" Little Rock rolled her eyes and Columbus helped her up onto her bed. That night they all stayed where they were because honestly nobody could be bothered to drive. Some people stayed in the back room which were, Wichita, Little Rock and Columbus, while Tallahassee and Scotty stayed up front. Wichita and Little Rock weren't sleeping. The older sister lay there on her back, her mind full of thoughts.

"Abby?"

"Hm?"

"What date is it?"

"Uh… The 10th I think."

"Of September?"

"Yeah."

"You know, you're birthday's on the 14th."

"I know when my birthday is."

"Okay, just making sure. I can't believe you're going to be 13. Where'd my baby sister go?" Little Rock turned on her side to look at her older sister.

"I'm still here. I'll always be your baby sister."

"I know. I'll never think any different." But what these two girls didn't know, was that Columbus was actually awake the whole time.

"Goodnight Abby."

"Night Krista." That night, Columbus started thinking about what he heard and decided to do something about it. He then thought about what he would of said to his younger sister Shannon because it was her birthday the next day. The next morning, Little Rock and Wichita heard Columbus and Scotty having an argument. Little Rock walked in and Scotty was having a 'bitch fit'. She walked over to Columbus and Scotty continued to babble.

"What's up with you California? Having a bitch fit?" Little Rock and Columbus started smirking. All of a sudden, Scotty grabbed Little Rock's arm and pulled her stitches out by accident. Of course he didn't have a clue that they were even there in the first place. Little Rock screamed in pain, and fell to the floor, the blood was running down her arm. Wichita sprinted in.

"What the fuck happened?!" Columbus ran and got the first aid kit he grabbed and came running back to Little Rock, practically sliding along the floor. He took out a needle and stitches, not answering Wichita.

"Columbus! Do you mind telling me, what the fuck is happening?!" Still not answering, Columbus got even more aggravated from what Scotty did, he took the needle and stitches and started stitching Little Rock up. Wichita was getting pissed off so she smacked Columbus around the of his head. Columbus turned around, still holding the needle in Little Rock's arm.

"What?!" Wichita crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.

"Excuse me?"

"Sorry I didn't mean that. I'm just angry, I'll explain everything later. California just really fucking pisses me off." Columbus didn't realise that he still had the needle in Little /rock's arm. The youngest spoke up.

"Um… Columbus?"

"Yeah Little Rock?"

"You're leaning on the needle, and it's kind of, sore. Ow."

"Oh shit! Sorry." Columbus took the pointed object out of Little Rock's arm and she relaxed just the slightest. Columbus then finished stitching her arm and Wichita sprinted after her younger sister who was running so she wouldn't have to tell her older sister what happened, but she fell again.

"Hey! Get back here!" Wichita then grabbed the younger sisters sleeve and pulled her up and sat her down on the seat.

"Okay, simple question. What happened?" Little Rock sighed and held up her arm.

"I got bit."

"WHAT?! ARE YOU OKAY?!"

"Yeah, I'm fine now. Columbus fixed it." Little Rock looked over at Columbus who was smiling at her.

"It was when I was unconscious from the car crash." Little Rock looked down and sighed, then, when she looked back up, she saw something under her sister's shirt. She looked into Wichita's eyes then pulled her shirt up. There was a scar around her older sister's left side.

"Are you, I mean. That's not from the car crash. How'd that happen?"

"Chainsaw, sliced my side open. I was hoping wouldn't see that. Tallahassee fixed it, when you and Columbus were on watch duty."

"Oh. Right. Well, anyways, I was unconscious, you guys were shooting zombies, a zombie found its way over to me, it bit me, and the pain shot right through me and, I woke up, with that zombie hanging over me… Krista?"

"Yeah?"

"I keep picturing that zombie over me when my eyes are closed. It scares me." Wichita made a sympathetic face and hugged her sister, then Tallahassee came barging in.

"Let's head out, shall we?" The five left and kept on travelling.

~~~~~MEANWHILE WITH THE 3 SISTERS~~~~~


Shannon and Brooke were in bed sleeping while Arianne was watching a movie. She was watching 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. She was so into the movie, she forgot all about her little sisters birthday. Then, the thought dawned on her.

"Oh shit! It's Shannon's birthday tomorrow! Oh fuck!" She grabbed the chocolate cookie out of her sister's trouser pocket and wrapped it.

"Right, it's 2.00am. Ah fuck it. I'm going to bed." Arianne walked up the stairs and into her room. That night, was going to be long. The next morning, the eldest and youngest sisters got up first. They left Shannon in bed to sleep. They snuck up to her bedroom and Arianne put her finger over her mouth and made a 'shush' sound to Brooke. Brooke smiled and nodded. Then Arianne tip-toed over to Shannon's bed, (Sneak, sneak, sneak.)
She pulled her quilt off her, then Arianne screamed at the top of her lungs. Shannon jumped to grab her baseball bat, but fell off her bed and landed flat on her face.

"Ow." Arianne covered her mouth and gasped, but Brooke started giggling, holding her teddy bear. Shannon mumbled into the floor.

"It's not funny." She got up and fixed her pyjama's.

"What do you want? You know you don't disturb me when I'm sleeping." Arianne rolled her eyes and hit her sister over the head with a pillow. Shannon punched her sister in the arm, then Arianne smirked and pulled her in for a hug.

"Happy Birthday Sis." Shannon pulled away.

"How'd you know today was my birthday?" Arianne scoffed.

"I'm not that forgetful!" Shannon laughed.

"No! I meant like, we don't have a calendar." Arianne started to laugh nervously.

"Don't ask." Shannon shrugged and Arianne held out her hand. Shannon gave her expression as if to say, 'what are you doing?' So she asked what she thought.

"What's that?" Arianne then smiled and opened her hand. It was a present.

"You didn't have to get me anything." Shannon smiled and opened the present. It was the chocolate chip cookie. Shannon smirked.

"How did you know?"

"Oh, I kind of figured." Brooke ran over and gave Shannon a hug.

"Happy Birfday S-Shannon."

"Thanks Brookie." Arianne put her arm around her newly turned 13-year-old sister.

"Where'd my little baby sister go? I can't believe you're a teenager now. Wow." Arianne still couldn't get over it.

"Well we better get going. We don't want it to get too late for your surprise."

"Surprise? What surprise?!"

"Sorry. No clues, hints or buts. And don't torture Brooke to try and get it out of her either, 'cause if you do, she'll come straight to me and tell me." Shannon gave her sister the puppy dog eyes.

"Please?" Arianne nearly gave in but instead, covered her eyes.

"No! Not this time! Nu-uh! It's not going to-" Arianne then opened her eyes to find Shannon, actually shedding tears.

"How the hell do you do that?!"

"It's called acting. You should try it sometime." Arianne crossed her arms and gave a sly smile.

"Oh, okay. I guess you don't want your surprise then."

"No, no, no! I do! I'm sorry."

"Shanzy, I was joking." Arianne laughed. Shannon went red.

"I know." Arianne smiled and rolled her eyes. Suddenly Brooke interrupted and said.

"We're going to the circus!" Arianne then said gently. "Awh, Brookie, you ruined the surprise for Shanzy."

"Oops." Brooke stuck her thumb in her mouth and Arianne ruffled up Brooke's hair.

"It's okay." She stood up to face Shannon again.

"Ari, I thought you were afraid of clowns."

"Yeah, well hopefully they should all be dead. And I don't mean, un-dead or living dead, I mean 'dead' dead, as in, never coming back. As in-" She hesitated.

"Is it really that obvious I'm afraid of clowns?" Shannon then said…

"Arianne, you locked yourself in your room, every red nose day comic relief, and you would not go 10 feet radius of somewhere that has a working circus near-by."

"Did you hear the dead, never coming back thing I was going for Shannon? Besides the red noses freak me out, and W.T.F is up with the frizzy multi-coloured hair? Only Hayley Willaims and Florence and the Machine can rock that look." The two sisters burst out laughing. Then the three got in the car and were on their way.

When they got to the circus, there were, motor bikes, stilts, animals? And no… NO WAY… Clowns! Arianne was so freaked out, her teeth started chattering. Shannon narrowed her eyes.

"Ari, are you alright? I know you're scared of clowns and all, but, your teeth are chattering." Shannon had worried eyes and put her hand on her older sister's arm.

"No, I'm fine, I-" A zombie clown then suddenly came running at Arianne.

"AHH!!! SHIT!!!" Arianne screamed and fell. Shannon looked at her, then the zombie, she then, ran over and butted the zombie in the head with her Rifle. She turned around and looked at her sister again.

"Jesus Arianne!" Shannon sprinted back over to Arianne and helped her up.

"Are you okay?" Arianne rubbed the back of her head.

"Yeah, I'm good. Now."

"You know, you can just imagine that the zombie clowns, don't actually look like clowns."

"I've tried that before Shanzy. It doesn't work."

"Well hey, I tried." Shannon gave a small smile and looked towards the circus tent, then back at her sister with raised eyebrows. Arianne sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Let's go." Shannon's eyes followed her sister and she respected that her sister was doing such a thing for her. All of a sudden there was a small tug on Shannon's top. It was her younger sister, Brooke.

"L-let's go S-Shannon." Brooke held out her hand so Shannon would hold it back. They caught up with their older sister, then Shannon hooked Arianne's arm, a habit she got when she was younger.

"You alright Shanzy? You only ever hook me when you're scared."

"Not anymore. I love you sis." Shannon kissed her older sister on the cheek. Arianne then gave a small secretive smile.

"Love you too." The sister's walked over to the tent, killing every zombie that got in their way. Shannon gave her older sister a serious look, then poked her head through the tent opening. She came back out with a pale face.

"Oh my God, Shannon, what's the matter?!"

"If you love me, you won't go in there." Shannon was on the verge of tears.

"What?" Arianne poked her head through the tent then came back gagging.

"Oh God. I'm sorry I brought you here Shannon." All the animals got loose, and tigers were so desperate for food, they were eating elephants… Blood. Was. Everywhere. They sighed and turned around, Brooke was about to look in the tent but Shannon grabbed her and pulled her back.

"Brookie. Just, don't think about going in there. Okay?" Brooke stuck her thumb in her mouth and nodded slowly. When they turned around, there was a mob of zombies coming towards them, most of them were clowns.

#Rule number 11#- Clown Cardio. Don't think Run. I mean it's a fucking zombie clown for crying out loud!!!

"SHIT! Shannon grab Brooke… Zoom, zoom." They sisters ran around the corner, luckily the zombies had no clue where they went, so only 2 or 3 found them. When they were running, Arianne dropped her shotgun.

"Oh, fuck." She went to run back for it, but all of a sudden, the zombies stopped and looked at it. One of the zombies were actually smart enough to pick the gun up. Arianne's eyes widened. Then suddenly, another zombie started fighting for it. Arianne's jaw dropped.

"Jesus Christ!" She scrambled backwards towards her younger sisters.

"What's wrong?"

"That thing is now a lethal fucking weapon, whether you know how to use it or not!" Shannon let out a small smirk. Then, a bullet came out of nowhere and nearly hit Shannon in the leg.

"Wow! Where'd that come from?!" The three looked up at the zombies who were fighting over the gun. They were now pulling the trigger. Arianne was absolutely speechless, until a bullet hit her right in the arm.

"FUCKING BITCH FIT IN 5...4...3...2..." Arianne yelled. Shannon pulled Brooke close to her, knowing what was about to happen.

"1!!!!!!!!!" She screamed tackling the zombies and punching and kicking her way to the gun.

When she got her gun back she then shot all of them and took Brooke and Shannon by the hand and sprinted away.

"Take this and run!" Arianne said chucking the gun to Shannon, as Shannon had a better cardio even while giving Brooke a piggy back, she used the shotgun and shot everything that moved into attack, while reloading she whacked a zombie up the face with the right side of the gun killing it on impact.

"Shit." Shannon said as she saw a clown come into view she turned and saw Arianne through the two sisters behind a crate for safety.

"I. Hate. Fucking. Clowns." Arianne growled, glaring at that one massive mother fucker.

Arianne picked up a crowbar that was randomly sitting on the floor, she didn't have time to question it on being there, so she friggen used it. She sprinted towards the clown and whacked it straight in the face, you could hear it's bones breaking.

The noise of it's nose squeaking and blood splattering everywhere was then heard. Shannon and Brooke stepped out from behind the crate to see a very pissed Arianne covered in blood.

"How the fuck do you two get to stay Zombie-Fucking-Clown-Blood FREE!!!???" Arianne all- but screamed. Shannon took Brooke by the hand and chuckled as she walked over to her, now, zombie-blood-covered sister.

"Come on, let's just, get out of here Ari."

"Yeah, you're right. Let's go." Arianne ruffled Shannon's hair and they walked back to their… Big, Red, Hummer. When they got to it, Arianne ripped the sleeve of her top and looked at her wound. Shannon wrinkled her nose.

"You are in deep shit." Arianne looked at her newly turned 13-year-old sister.

"Yeah, I sort of figured that out Shanzy." Just then, Shannon took of her jacket and took out a knife she had in her secret pocket. She ripped of the two arms of her jacket and wrapped them around her older sister's, now, bullet wounded arm. Luckily the bullet was only a flash wound, so it wasn't stuck in her arm. Shannon got out a first aid kit and attemteped to do stiches.

"Ah, SHANNON THAT FUCKING HURTS!" Arianne yelled.

"Well Then STOP FUCKING SQURIMING!!!" Shannon screamed back.

"That should hold it until we find a pharmacy." Shannon sighed putting all the stuff away. Arianne gave her a small smile and messed up her hair, again. The three got into the Red Hummer, and drove off to find a pharmacy.
