Chapter 4

Saviors

So this chapter is going to be in Hunter's POV. So I am going to warn you lots of explicit language is used in this chapter. Thanks.

Holy fucking shit what the hell is going on! Not even fifteen minutes ago I was sitting in Willy's class not paying attention, as usual, and then Barwick comes in and bites his neck! I swear I thought he was kissing him for a minute and I was about to shout gay….but blood started to come out…and then he was dead so…not really laughing anymore. Not that I wasn't happy he was gone that bastard got on my fucking nerves. Seriously he needs to pipe the fuck down. Haha I love Jenna Marbles. I hope she isn't dead. Or one of those dead fuckers.

Before I like went into shock I saw that bitch Jessica get Wilson juice all over her clothes slut. My day was made when that happened. Then a lot of it is a blur. I was kinda out of it. I just remember pushing and yelling and screaming then a crushing sound like bones snapping. Sara had saved us. She was fucking badass.

I am really thankful that she did that, even though she was going to leave us at first! Bitch moment on her part. She seems so in control during the situation, both her and Caitlyn. I have a feeling they will crack eventually. No one can kill as many Dead Fucks as they did and not get effected. I hate that I couldn't have helped at all. All Tiffany and I did was sit there and let Sara care for us. Finding us weapons. Protecting us. And now look what I did to her. I betrayed her. I am such a fucking pussy it's not even funny.

When the Dead Fuck was about to attack Sara, I felt as though I was running on pure freaking feral instinct. So I grabbed Tiffany's hand and dragged her out into the courtyard before she could react. As soon as we were out of the building Tiffany finally came out of her own shock syndrome and started crying again pushing me away from her,

"Why did you leave her?! She saved our asses before why didn't you stay and fight?!"

I am mad. I am SO mad at myself and at this little Asian girl screaming at me who will not shut her freakin mouth! I turn to her and got up in her face to defend myself to prove my point,

"Did you see how close that fucker was to her? There was no way we could have saved her. In fact I saved your tail from getting eaten; you would have just stood there like a fucking statue bailing your eyes out!"
Her eyes got really wide for a moment and then she really started crying then. Instantly I felt guilty for freaking her out more than she already was. I sighed and racked my brain for ways to fix this mess. Eventually she calmed down some so I tried to talk to her,

"Tiffany I am so sorry I said that to you I know how…um…delicate you are right now and I was way out of line."

When she didn't respond I walked over and pulled her into a tight hug. She smelled like blood and sweat but still she was small and soft like she normally is. Tiffany didn't return the hug at first. Rather she stiffened for a minute then she started to shake. I could feel the sobs she was trying to hold in finally just burst out in violent trembles. Also came the babbling. It was hard to determine what she was saying but I listened anyway,

"I-I just can't b-believe this i-is happening Hunter. Sara could be dead! We have no idea where Caitlyn went! M-My mom or my brother could be d-dead and they are not returning my calls or texts and….and oh Roberto! Oh Roberto where is he?! He could be dead and h-have left me all a-alone!"

I just nodded and said over and over 'It's going to be ok.' And 'Just let it out.' For a moment I had forgotten what was going on and where we were but the sound of heavy breathing and shouting came from across the court yard gaining our attention. Our mouths nearly dropped open at the sight before us. There was Roberto, Tiffany's boyfriend since the beginning of freshmen year running for, what it looks like his life with our classmate Nikki on his back. He looked alone for a moment but then Jacob and Zack, two more of our classmates emerged from around the building corner with baseball bats.

It was only until a split second later when about 8 or 9 dead fucks in middle school uniforms came running, or rather limping around the corner. They were stopping every few seconds to bash one or two's heads in before having to sprint away before they were surrounded.

Of course Tiffany took off towards Roberto as soon as she saw him. That was a natural thing to do. I just didn't expect Roberto to just drop Nikki on the ground completely forgetting about her and rushing to embrace Tiffany! That shocked me. Rolling my eyes I ran past them to check on Nikki. She was unconscious with a large gash on the side of her head.

"Nikki? Nikki wake up. You need to wake up Nikki."

No matter how many times I shook her or called out her name she was not waking up. I sighed beginning to wonder whether she was knocked out or simply passed out from the entire situation. I then pressed my hoodie up to her head to stop the bleeding. Without turning around I called out to Roberto over my shoulder,

"What happened to her?"

No response. I ask again turning around quickly to make sure they hadn't disappeared on me..or got eaten but, if they were getting eaten I'd be hearing screams right? Turns out they had decided that now was the best time to start swaping spit. During a freaking Dead Fuck attack. I sighed and turned around again trying to get their attention once more. Still got ignored so desperate times called for desperate measures….

"ROBERTO! STOP SUCKING FACES AND LISTEN TO ME!" He jumped instantly and tried to wipe the stupid goofy look off his face. He stared at me for a minute confused. I gave him a hard glare that said 'you better remember what I was talking about.'

"Oh! Hunter you asked me something right?" I nodded and gestured for him to continue getting even more pissed off by the second. He was quiet for another minute trying to remember and I sighed.

"What happened to Nikki."

"Oh! I really don't know to be honest. We just found her under a bench in the middle school lobby. Peter was there too." I then looked out towards Jacob and Zack who were finishing up the last of the Dead Fucks and I turned back to him,

"Where's Peter then?! You didn't just leave him right?"

A sorrowful look came upon his face as he started to shuffle around and fidget clearly uncomfortable with discussing this.

"He…he told us to leave him. His leg was pretty messed up and he couldn't walk and there was no way we could have carried both him and Nikki and fought off the Dead Fucks at the same time. We locked him in Mr. Johnson's office though! So he could be alive…"

I didn't even get a chance to say anything else because our attention was brought back to Jacob and Zack who had finally defeated the Dead Fucks and were coming over to join us. Their clothes were covered in blood and skin. They were panting all red in the face clearly worn out by the attack. As soon as they spotted Roberto they threw their bats to the ground and glared at him,

"What the fuck man! *pant* You…you left us!" Zack couldn't even finish his rant because he had looked down at the bats and his clothes and doubled over to the side to empty his stomach. I rushed over to him and rubbed his back moving the hair out of his eyes. Jacob who had seemed less winded had the nerve to grab Roberto's shirt and throw him against the wall.

"You have some balls. The plan, oh by the way was your idea was to put Nikki down safe and come back and help us! We almost got our arms chewed off cause of you! I should kill you."

"Man I'm sorry ok? I just…I just had to get to Tiffany." Jacob held him a little longer staring dead in his eye before sighing and letting him drop to the ground, "You stay clear of me for the next few days you got that?" Roberto nodded and got up rushing to Tiffany asking her a million questions…must mostly kissing her over and over making me want to gag.

Zack, now had successfully vomited everything he had eaten for the past few days was sitting against a bench with sweat dripping down his face trying to, once again catch his breath. I was trying to get Nikki to wake up again when he poked my side causing me to giggle,

"You ok?" He asked in a raspy voice looking me up and down as if trying to find some sort of injury. I smiled at him and nodded and he smiled back and rested his head against the bench closing his eyes. We had grown a lot closer the past few weeks hanging out and stuff like that and it was clear that he liked me but…I didn't know my feelings for him though. I shook my head frustrated with myself. Great it's the fucking Apocalypse and I was thinking about a boy! A small groan drove my attention away from my internal rant. Nikki had begun to move around and started opening her eyes,

"Nikki? Hey Nikki can you hear me?" She let out a groan again pressing her palm against her cut and now bruising forehead.

"Mmm. Oh god my head is killing me. What happened?"

"We don't know. Roberto said he found you under a bench in the middle school passed out."

Her eyes then shot open and she started to look around franticly, "Where's Jared? He and I were running from the dead people! I-I remember him telling me that he would put me somewhere safe and then darkness…Oh my god! H-He's dead isn't he?"

I looked to Zack who was staring at the ground as he just nodded his head giving her the answer. She started bailing them as I held her close. I looked up to everyone else as they stood staring at one another. I finally asked question that was on everyone's minds,

"What do we do now?"

"Well one thing we are not going to do is sit around here getting our asses eaten."

We all jumped to see Caitlyn walking towards us with Miguel and Sara in a tow. Caitlyn then started counting all of us,

" 5,6,7,8. Ok so we have eight total right? And we need to go get some little siblings from schools right?" Caitlyn asked meeting eyes with Tiffany, Miguel and Sara.

"And Peter. He is in the middle school as well." Roberto added not even looking up from the ground. He must have been really worried about him. Caitlyn nodded understanding the predicament.

"Ok. So we are going to stick to the original plan. Get our siblings, and Peter and then hauling ass to Birmingham to the safe haven. How many cars do we have?"

"Uh 3 I think. Roberto's, Hunter's and Zack's." Sara said. Our eyes met as she gave me a sad smile. She then mouthed 'Are you ok?' I nodded and added 'I'm sorry' she nodded and smiled again.

"Ok so here's the plan two people will go into the middle school and do the rescue mission. Now who wants to do it?" Two hands shot up and that was Sara and Miguel. Caitlyn nodded and continued now directing her attention on them,

"We are going to go get the car's and pull up to the middle school you guys have ten minute's exactly to do it. I'll send you the warning text then you will have one minute to get out to us. We will leave with or without you. You understand?"

Miguel nodded wordlessly as he grabbed one of the discarded bats and took off into the DBC. Sara took another bat and waved goodbye as she followed after him. They didn't even seem worried or scared. Panic was setting into my stomach as they left. Fucking hell, who knows what's in that school! I gave Tiffany a worried look and she shrugged sadly.

I got up off the ground and helped Nikki to her feet. She was then swooped into Roberto's arms again as he carried her not even listening to her protests. We then started the walk into the parking lot of the school…

The parking lot was surprisingly empty. No humans. No Dead Fucks. Once we were there I went in search of my car. To my surprise Jacob was trailing, quite closely if I might add behind me. Ok he was the last person I wanted shadowing me. What he did with that bitch, which I shall not name because she is dead, while we were dating was unforgivable and he deserves to be eaten with her.

I could feel his hot breath on my neck he was that close and it was getting real annoying really fast. Finally after he stepped on my heel for the 11th time U spun around making him skid to a complete stop looting at me with a bit of anger and confusion.

"Why'd you stop? Come on we got to find your car!"

"Why the hell are you following me? Out of all people why?" He then rolls his blue eyes and sighs.

"I'm making sure you don't get attacked by anyone, or anything. You need to be protected Hunter."

My heart stopped right there. He…cared? About me? I was still in love with him I always will be. Even after all the shit he put me through all the hurt and the pain I will love him. I could feel myself blushing as I looked at him through my eyelashes,

"Y-You are? That's really sweet of you."

I watched the shock cross over his face at my tone of voice. Hell I was even shocked by it. It rang out like a light girlish trill. Seriously I thought I was going to turn blonde at any given moment. He looked anywhere but me letting out a big puff of air. After a minute of silence he turned back to me with a cold look in his eye,

"Caitlyn told me I had to. If she didn't tell me too I probably wouldn't have cared about what would happen to you."

Well that hurt. It was like a big pickup truck just slammed into me head on it hurt that bad. After my momentary shock it was replaced with embarrassment and anger, oh so much anger. Feeling m face flush I turned around no longer having the strength to face him I spotted the head of my red charger from across the lot. Turning to look at him one last time I gave him a bitchy smirk.

"I don't need you. I can take care of myself."

I waved my piece of wood around in his face the blood falling off splattering him. He looked at my charger in the distance and because he was a tall 6'5 I guess he could see more of it than I could. He smirked and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Um…you sure about that?"

I then took off in the direction of my charger and stopped a good 5 feet from it about to just bust out laughing. There three of the Dead Fucks were eating Mrs. Crenshaw the sophomore Chemistry teacher's arms and legs. She was the teacher from hell. Everyone hated her class and most people hated her as well. She has made many many people cry. Seriously in my class almost 10 people would make F's on her tests.

Now look at her screaming bloody murder from the ground in front of me, the one person she hates most of all. And she was reaching out to me wanting me to help her. I was just standing there trying not to laugh my ass off. Ok I have some problems. Jacob had now caught up to me and looked a little shocked at first to see who was getting eaten. He then sighed and raised his bat

"I'll take care of this."

"No wait. Let's just watch for a bit."

To be continued…
