Chapter 6 is here. Once again, I have been working on stuff for My second book, this time a cover for it...but I doubt you people care about that, anyway, enjoy
Later in the night, I was woken up by some commotion outside, steadily getting louder and louder by the second. " what is that" I wondered. I went to the window and opened the curtains...only to see a wall off steel. " …..I'm a dumb ass." I had forgotten that the shields were up. As I was walking towards the stairs, Blake came out of one of the bedrooms and asked, " What is going on" as he rubbed his eyes. " I don't know, I'm checking on whats going on right know". " Come on out, we know you are in there" once they said that, I knew who was talking " Bandits.." I said. "Shit, get you guns guy's" I went running back to my room and opened the closet, I grabbed the m16 in the corner, I don't only have shotguns and pistols. " Get ready" I said as I went down stairs. When I deactivated the shields and looked outside, the whole block was on fire and their seemed to be hundreds of them. *Bang * " Hey I found their truck" a bandit said. " Oh hell no" I said as I ran and opened garage door and found a single bandit starting to open the truck door.
I raised my gun and took aim for his head, "OH SHI-" that's all he got to say before a bullet went right through his head. I probably shouldn't have done that though, every bandits now knew where I was now. " uh-oh" I shut the door quickly and jumped away from the door as bullets pierced through the door. "way to go dip shit" Seth said. "your going to pay for that" one of the bandits said. I didn't like how he said that, going to the window, someone made throwing motion, I didn't know what he threw until it was too late, the object he threw was a Molotov, catching the house on the fire where the window was. " GET BACK, GET BACK!" Isaid as the fire quickly spread. " you guys go in the truck, I hold them off" " With what exactly" Seth said. "Just go"
Zach's P.O.V
I had know idea what Lucas was going to do, "Quick, let's go before they see us" Blake said. Lucas gave me the keys for some reason, I guess he didn't trust the others. Once I put the keys in the ignition, the bandits seemed to notice us. "Hey they are trying to get away". I looked down and turned the keys but the truck didn't start. "come on, COME ON" I said, the truck didn't want to start. (This is it) I thought. * CRASH * I heard something coming from behind. When I turned around, I didn't know what I saw. It was a jeep that seemed to be on steroids. I didn't know it was Lucas inside it, this is what he was going to cover us with.
Back to Lucas P.O.V
this is what I did to the jeep. I had gotten upgrades to the car. It had a bullet proof glass windshield, a roll cage, flood lights on top, and finally... I fixed the seat belt in the back. I already knew that they were having trouble when I didn't see them out front already. The house was burning fast, I had to make a choice, to leave the truck or wait to see if the truck would start. "ah shit" I turned toward the garage and turn the jeep to its side and honked the horn, but at the wrong time. Once I heard the truck start I knew it was too late, the amber and white lights cam on, indicating the truck was in reverse. * CRASH * "OH NOW IT STARTS" I yelled as the jeep went spinning. When I looked back at Zach, I couldn't hear what he was saying but I knew he was saying "what the hell". I put the car in reverse and floored it, not stopping for another mile and half. Once I slowed down and pulled to the side, the back of the jeep tilted to the left, Zach must have hit the tire, I think he blew the tire out of the jeep. I looked at Zach, making the gesture to lower his window. " my back tire is flat because of you" Zach had a shocked look on his face "how was I supposed to know you were behind me" I shook my head and looked back at my neighborhood. My house was most likely been burned to ash's by now. "change of plan's,
we cant go to west yet" "why not" Seth asked, with a puzzled look on his face. "Have you seen my tire, its as messed up as your knee" he looked back and seemed to cringe . " I cant go any further with out screwing the jeep up, does anyone know how to the spare tire on". Everyone looked at Zach. "...why are you guys staring at me" he said. 15 minuets later. "there its fixed" Zach said. "wait a minute, when you said for me to find a new car, why didn't you use the jeep" "it wasn't made for hauling" I said. "Ok, now are we ready" Seth asked. "Yes, now shut up" what was with him and this plan of his... I doesn't matter, can't really go back home can we. Driving along the way's I always went a long time ago made me think of how much the town has changed, its kind of sad when you think about it. This was a peaceful town but then when the worlds worst pandemic spreads, all hell breaks lose, neighbor's that were your friends turn against you and try to kill you at any chance they get, people will do anything just to survive it seems, even if they have to... never mind, I don't want to think about it.
Once we arrived at the school, we checked ammunition, supplies, etc, and got ready to raid the school. " ok, once we get inside, lets split up, Blake and seth, you check the cafiteria, Zach and I will scout out the area" they nodded there heads and started to walk towards the entrance. Blake and Seth grabbed the food containers walked inside. "hey Zach, I don't think a sniper will be a wise choice to use when we are inside" he looked at me, he took the scope off and out a silencer on without looking away. " Better?" he was too into gun's... but stuff like that will keep you alive when that Zombie or alien apocalypse happens. "Ok, like I said, stay on your guard" as the two went to the cafeteria, Zach think's there would be a base of opperations for bandits in the north gym. "Do you have a death wish than, that gym is huge, who knows how many of them will be in there" I whispered "wouldn't hurt to check then" he whispered back. I knew this wasn't going to end well. I went first because I had the shotgun if things went bad. Zach was right, there was a camp inside the gym, had to be at least 30 of them. " Blake managed to take out a whole platoon of them and get out alive, I say we come back after their done with loading up the food" he nodded and walked out of the gym. I followed him to see where he was going but I was stopped by the IMC.
I saw a picture of my freshman year, it was a picture for the seniors, it showcased what they did back when they started highschool. I picked the picture up, looking at me in my baseball uniform. "man, what happened to my childhood" " Lucas, what the hell are you doing" Zach said from across the hall. " Sorry, I'll be right there" I shook my head and tried to get a hold of myself. " You ok, you seem to be spacing out" I nodded and kept on walking but Zach stopped, then I heard his phone ring. "hello, who is this" He said, I turned around to see him talking. " Wait your alive by your self" Zach seemed to know this guy, who every it was. "...No way, you have a plane" that was new's to my ears. " Than when can you get to Bloomington...in 2 days, that's great, than we need to meet with you at the airport than" Zach than hung up on his phone. "who was that" I asked.
"it was Richard, he is alive, he has plane, he didn't say what type it was but a planes a plane, he will be at the airport in two days" I nearly yelled in excitement, I can go see my family again. "that's great" is all I could say. We walked on the top floor and saw nothing, so we decided to head back and check on Blake and Seth. " Guys, your never going to beleive this but we have a way out of this town" Zach said. " What, I don't believe you" Seth said. "No he is telling the truth, Richard just called, he said he has a plane and will be here in two day's" I said. He seemed to believe me now. "Well we found a decent amount of food, when should we set up" Blake said. Then I remebered. "Yeah about..." "What did you do" Seth asked. " Nothing, there are just a bunch of bandits in the gym...seeing that Blake managed to kill all those guys at pepper ridge we though you could help us" I said. Blake just seemed to get up and just walk to the gym. " What is he doing" " I don't know". We follow him to the gym, the next thing you know he walks in and just seems to vanish. "What the...where the hell did he go" we peeked into the gym and wouldn't you know it, one guy is already dead and they don't even know. Right as one guy got hit in the head, one guy got their head cut clean off, spraying blood everywhere, all over the walls.
"What is going on" one guy said, clearly panicing. " just shoot" "RAAA" they just sprayed bullets everywhere. We couldn't help but laugh, but then we had to stop when something bad happened. Blake had gotten nicked, like me, in the leg and dropped to the ground. " Ok now its time to help" I barged in and ran towards Blake". "any last words" "No, but he does" the bandit turned around to see me. "Good-bye" * BANG * this was like deejay-voe. Seth had done the same thing to that bandit leader. His head exploded, making him just slump down, dead as a rock. " Thanks.." "ah don't mention it" I put out my hand to help him up, he wasn't going to get up on his own, I don't even know how I managed to stand up and got get my car. " How did you do it" I asked. " Do what?" "You were killing everybody without them seeing you" " I just use the shadow's" than here came the part I knew what was going to happen. Blake took one step and stopped. "Let me guess, you need some help walking" he nodded. " Zach, help me" we walked him over to a table and bandaged his leg up. "Well the school is safe now, it still would a good idea that someone should keep watch when we sleep" Seth said...for once I agree with him. I looked at the clock, it said 9:02. I had been over 4 hours since the attack at home, how did they know where we were hiding out. They would have to have had a way to communicate with each other but that seemed preposterous. Bandits rarely come to this street and they never go to my house, why would there be hundreds of them attacking us all at once Then it hit me...some here may be a traitor
Whoa, didn't expect that, well I finally finished chapter 6, Lucas and his friends have finally gotten a chance to escape this hell but the question is, who would have told the bandits, well your going to have to wait for chapter 7, which I will be uploading pretty soon. I will be seeing ya
