Chapter 3
Oz walked back up to the top of the cliff and saw Cindy under the coach with the coach driver and Oz said as she went down to sit on the back of her feet
"Enjoying yourself"
"Yeah" Cindy replied and Oz looked to her left and saw Elizabeth and James coming up the hill so she replied getting up to see them
"Good good"
Oz walked over to Elizabeth and James who were both talking about Lita and Oz being completely insane, all the natural goodness of Lita's former brain being turned to mush thanks to Oz's lack of brains. Elizabeth said to her as she stopped in front of the pair
"We found thick bones down there"
"Audrey is thick, might be her" Oz said holding her chin and thinking but James said
"No, don't be like that...cant we just go to the top of that hill and see the whole place we might be able to catch a sight of her"
"Sure good thinking beep beep" Oz replied and both Elizabeth and James snapped back at her as she went to walk up the hill
"The names not beep beep"
They made their way slowly up the hill, it was very steep and had rocks poking out from it that made it easier to grab them and pull yourself up. Elizabeth and James talked a little more, Oz looked back down on to the mass of about 50 people down below. Then she said seeing a path that was going down the hill
"Wouldn't it be fun if you could roll down the hill"
"No" Elizabeth said back and Oz shrugged and said back
"It would be if you have a target at the bottom"
"Shut up, can we please go a little faster" James snapped back and Oz gave them both a look and said back
"What part of steep don't you get...well you get the eep bit"
"OZ" the pair shouted and carried on up.
Meanwhile, Lita and Will were still split from the group and walked to a small corner of the beach near a crevice in the cliff and then Will moved a rock because he was bored. What he found there made him shout as loud as he could that even some people on the hill heard, but Oz (as everyone knows) with her dodgy hearing never heard her so continued up the hill. Lita ran over and said as Will was breathing fast on his back looking at what he had almost screamed at
"What"
"What the hell is that?" Will said pointing at red that ran down the sand and Lita looked into the hole and said slightly pale
"There is no proof that mass of meat is Audrey"
But then a phone was heard going off under the red blood and meat, Lita put her hand in and looked at the person who was ringing and it said as it vibrated and played crazy frog 'Wormy'. Will looked up and said as Lita had the blood running down her hand
"Answer it just in case"
"Hello" Lita said as she held the phone close to her ear and Worm Tongue said as he ran around frantically looking for Audrey
"Lita, have you found her?"
"Yeah"
"You've found her, great...where is she, can I speak to her...guys they have found her" Worm tongue shouted to the people around the place
Lita's heart dropped, she felt like her insides were swollen and she asked as Worm Tongue was heard happily on the other end
"Can I speak with another of the teachers please?"
"Sure, a double check" Worm tongue handed the phone over to the Doctor who was talking with Lupin, he said into the phone as he held it to his ear
"Lita"
"Audrey is dead, she's been mauled" Lita said as a tear shaped in her eye and the Doctor went a shade of white and said back gently
"It's alright, yourself and Will get back up here and I'll come down and..."
But before the Doctor could make Lita and Will feel better the phone was taken from the doctor, McMahon said into it
"Did I hear that right?"
"Yes" Lita said back and McMahon said back
"Right, I'm afraid you two will have to bring her back up" McMahon said back and the Doctor instantly protested
"No, they are only young...let me go down or you"
"I can't, bad leg remember. You can't you have to watch the children, Wormy will have a heart attack and Remus is with a group in the building"
"Your doing it because they are Oz's friend aren't you" The Doctor snapped back and McMahon said back
"No, they have their bags for the beach cleaning we were going to do. Lita use that and bring her back, I'll be hear when you bring her up the hill"
The Doctor was not happy, he went to go off to help the girls but McMahon sent a group of about fifteen to the Maths teacher. One of them told him that he would have to tell Worm Tongue the bad news (the children didn't know what the bad news was) and the Doctor said to Remus as he walked out
"They have found her"
Remus gave a nod but didn't know why the teachers were so quiet while Worm Tongue was happy, but he shrugged it off and shouted up the hill at Oz's group
"We've found her"
"OK" Elizabeth shouted back down and Oz said unaware the slab of rock behind them was moving
"Well that hag has a lot to answer for"
The three looked down to see if they could find the path back down, with Oz to the right of the pair and beep beep in the middle he said
"We can get down here"
"HOLY SHIT" Oz shouted and fell backward down the hill seeing the large and rotten zombie behind them Elizabeth looked and screamed as she fell to her buttocks
"What the..."
But James never got a breath, the zombie had a piece of the break in his hand and drove it through James's chest and it popped out of his back on the end of the metal. Elizabeth was frantically crying, Oz was practically knocked out and once she shook off the effects she looked up and saw what Lita said she saw. The zombie put its rotting fingers into the skull of James and started to feast. The blood of James splashed over Elizabeth's face causing her too scream getting everyone's attention from the bottom of the hill, Oz was darting up the hill as fast as she could go. The zombie stood up and some of his face reformed and had gained a tiny bit of normal color, but as he went to go for Elizabeth Oz leaped into the air and took the zombie down and they both rolled down the back of the hill. Elizabeth was still in shock from seeing the most brutal killing in her life, she looked down and saw Oz walking back up with black blood around her arm and a splat of it on her chin from the leap. Elizabeth said as she looked down at the spot where the zombie was laying motionless
"What was that Ozzy?"
"I don't know, but they have a lot of explaining to do...we need to get him down the hill" Oz said back and Elizabeth asked
"Why"
"Because I'm not making two trips down and back up if Worm Tongue tells us to get James" Oz said back lifting the lighter corpse thanks to the fact most of it was now missing or already rolling down the hill and Elizabeth snapped
"You're so sick and lazy"
"I just ran up Wales steepest hill to save your ass, I could have let him eat you but I never (Elizabeth looked sorry for what she said) now your puzzling lets go"
Oz had blood going down her back and as she reached the bottom of the hill Elizabeth was not too far behind and she said as she reached Oz again
"Sorry mate, thanks for saving my life, I owe you one. But what about crime scene the police and such"
"Liz what copper is going to believe a zombie killed him, let's get by the teachers first"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Worm Tongue was heard crying from the coach and Oz walked around the corner to the shock of everyone else, seeing James's corpse over her shoulder and she said as she saw Worm Tongue sobbing
"What happened (no one answered) What happened" Oz snapped it out this time making a few people jump and the Doctor said as he looked at the body on her shoulder
"Will and Lita found Audrey, what's left of her...she is dead"
"So is Be..." Oz went to say beep beep but Elizabeth got in and said
"James is dead, a zombie ate him while he was alive"
"Enough of this zombie shit" McMahon snapped and Oz was starting to get even more annoyed and she snapped
"I took the big mother... out myself, I saw it tear him open (she flopped down the body to everyone disgust) I barley saved Liz before it could get it decomposed hands on her"
Will and Lita walked up with the blood soaked bag of Audrey and a black rubbish bin that tore a little, it had blood coming from the end and Lita said with her hand covered in blood and Will had obviously thrown up
"Everything we could find"
"Wait, you sent them to get the body, or whatever is left of it" Oz snarled and the Doctor took a step back, because he knew she was going to flip at McMahon who said back
"I couldn't go, someone needs to watch the children"
For this Oz balled her fist and punched the old man in the face, he went straight to the floor and everyone was saying things like
"That's it Ozzy, you show him girl, we can take care of ourselves"
"You son of a bitch (Oz threw McMahon against the coach with no one stopping her and she held McMahon up) we are dying off, there is some sort of monster roaming around and all you can do is complain that you cant even look at one body you never even saw the killing of. How would you like a instant replay with you playing his role?" Oz was growling now and pointed to the body and Will cut in
"She saw it and had the nerve to carry back the body, you sent two young women to do the dirty work"
"You know I cant not with my leg, all we need to do is get on the coach and get out of here...we cant turn on each other" McMahon was chocking now, blood coming from his mouth and the Doctor said lightly as Worm Tongue started to grow angry himself
"Oz...more violence will not help"
"Not that he would care"
Oz dropped McMahon and turned ready to shout every swear word under the sun, but she held her composure and snapped her shoulder back into place after carrying James, the Doctor looked under the coach and asked Cindy
"When is this going to be ready?"
"Soon, about five more minutes" she said back with a spanner in her hand and the Doctor nodded and said
"Everyone get your things on the coach and then come back out for the register, make sure everyone is here"
People didn't move at first but looked at Oz who was looking to the floor, she still had blood dripping from her shirt and this time the Doctor shouted and meant it
"NOW"
The students separated, went in their own directions toward the facility to get their gear to put on the bus and Lita said as she stopped by Oz
"It hurts I know mate, but you couldn't stop them being killed"
"I was not really paying attention to them, Lita that zombie was real and I would like to say I'm sorry...but it is not in me so I'll just say you were right for once and I was wrong again" Oz smiled and Lita walked away to get her things but said first
"Then lets get everyone out of here"
"No mobile signal is there" Oz said over and Lita said walking away
"None"
Oz saw that Cindy was still not done, the driver was in fact getting back on the coach and Oz might have been struck out of her good mood but she went to go forward Worm Tongue could be heard saying
"Leave her, leave that little misery group of hers"
"We cant Wormy, she saved Elizabeth's life and the Doctor would not have any of it"
"Leave him too" Worm Tongue spat now full of anger toward Remus, Oz walked over and said looking with pity at Worm Tongue who still hadn't got up
"Leave me, my group and a innocent man who backed us up. We didn't kill Audrey...that zombie did and as far as I am concerned it was you"
"What do you mean" Remus asked and Oz said back
"He let her out of his sight, we are all to be watched and he cant even watch the little bit of stuff he had, yet we are the ones who clean up after the damage has been done"
She flicked the blood from her hands onto Worm Tongue's shirt but he did not retaliate because he saw she was right for the first time, it would have been like him sending her to the slaughter. Oz walked into the facility and saw a locker was half open, when she pulled the door completely open she found a baseball bat and Lita said as she lifted her bag over her shoulder
"Bitch, find a bat"
"Keep hold of it Oz, you just might need that" Elizabeth said back and Will said as he went to walk out of the door
"Or she could use it on you"
"Ram it up your..." Elizabeth started but Grace said as she stood in the middle
"Don't argue, not now"
"Let's get to the coach" Oz said back and Chris walked up to Oz and said as he lifted up his bag
"I'm slightly scared Ozzy"
"I'm here for you mate, your my boy don't forget" Oz said back and they hugged and Lita said as something moved in the bushes
"Oz, Will look"
The four standing there looked, Chris picked up a stick and Oz swung up her bat and Will said
"Slowly"
The group worked their way around it, but then a squirrel ran out and darted away and they gave a sigh of relief. Lita said as Oz put the metal bat in her bag
"Let's get to the coach"
The people started to come back to the coach, loaded it into the side compartment of the coach and the driver said as it was being put in
"Put it all in here, don't bother with little bags or anything like that...we'll be going home to fast"
Once everyone had put their stuff in the side compartments or already had their stuff loaded on to the coach the driver was waiting in his seat, but he could smell something on the coach. He looked back every now and then to check but he couldn't see anything, he shrugged and looked forward even though Cindy was still working on the brakes. McMahon had a black eye now and his jaw was swollen up, Worm Tongue had blood red eyes from crying and Lupin was stood with his head held high because he was happy to be going home. The Doctor was stood with a register in his hand and was going through the last of the people
"Smith Will"
"Here" Will said out and then he said
"Pontius"
"Wishing I wasn't here" Chris replied and got a smile from Oz and the Doctor continued
"Oz, is never going to go anywhere"
This got a slight laugh from some people and it was good for the students to get out a laugh, but as they looked around the coach driver was suddenly struck by fear and slammed the coach doors shut. Brenda ran to the door and Elizabeth shouted
"What are you doing?"
Oz turned and looked over her shoulder first but swung around to see about fifty zombies all of them suffering from major decay, some having pieces falling from their bodies and she said swinging up her bat
"That is not a good thing"
"RUN" Grace shouted from the crowd of people but the coach driver put his foot down, shot forward over Cindy who had the pieces of brake around her and she shouted
"He cant stop"
The coach driver frantically put down his foot on the brake but the coach was not stopping, it was going as fast as it could toward the edge of the cliff and then he was ganged by zombies that were in fact waiting in ambush on the coach. The coach flew from the cliff, it exploded with pieces of frying flesh flying through the air. Meanwhile, the zombies were following the running groups of people, half going into the facility and the other half heading toward the beach. The facility group got to the door and slammed it shut locking it and in the facility was Will, Lita, Lupin, Steve-O, Oz and about 19 others and as they looked behind themselves the zombies started to bang on the old door trying to get through. The beach group was Cindy, Elizabeth, Brenda, Chris, Worm Tongue, McMahon and the rest of the group who could only climb to high rocks and were all trapped.
Lita was looking out a small window and saw as the panicking people dropped from the rocks and into the zombies, she let out a cry as a young girl went down
"NO"
"The door is breaking" Will shouted and Oz said as the people held it back
"Find weapons, things to block the door quick"
The zombies carried on, but it was the sounds of screaming and moans of the zombies that were breaking the groups hearts.
