Alita's POV:
"This isn't working!" I yelled. The only thing we could use to defend the library were the books themselves, & that didn't seem to do any damage.
"We've got to clear a path to the door!" Od yelled back. I nodded & tried to figure out the best rote. Of course, this would be a lot easier if Jim & Olly were helping instead letting themselves get backed into a corner…
I was trying to knock out the zombies in front of the door when Od came over. "I have a better idea." he said, picking up a char. I grabbed the other end. We had the legs facing out, ready to push down any zombies that got in our way.
"We'll make a run for it." Od called to Jim & Olly. "Stay right behind us."
Od turned to me & I nodded. We ran together, pushing down any zombie in our way. Jim & Olly ran out the door as Od & I threw the char away from us. We ran out the door before the zombies had a chance to catch us.
"Oh no." I said. The zombies weren't just in the library. They were all over the camps!
"At least the students & teachers are faster than the average zombie…" Od said.
Olly's POV:
We didn't want to think about why the gym was empty.
It was obvious that some zombies had been here…We hoped for the best as to why they decided to leave the gym.
"…The gym's been remodeled since I've been gone." I said, trying to make small talk to delay my turn. We had already opened up the board & were sitting around it. "That rock wall is new."
"Yeh…I had it installed right after I started teaching here…" Jim said. "…That was a long time ago…"
"Um…I don't mean to be rude." Alita said. "But, well…The sooner we finish the game, the sooner we don't have to worry about zombies attacking…"
"Yeh, we'll just have a bunch of new things to worry about." I said, but I picked up the dice any way. I shook them in my hand a little bit & let them drop to the board.
"This will crush all of your bones, unless you escape like Indiana Jones."
"That doesn't sound good." Jim said. We all looked around, waiting for something terrible to jump out.
"Grab the game!" I said, nodding towards the window. Outside, a giant boulder was rolling right towards us.
Alita folded everything back up & we all quickly ran towards the door. We had just barely made it out when the boulder broke through the wall, rolled right over where we had just been sitting, & crashed through the opposite wall.
"On the bright side, at least that took out some of the zombies..." Od said.
Yes, I had to have a reference to Indiana Jones in this story somewhere. I'm sorry if it seems kind of cheesy…
