The Apocalypse
Chapter 7: Aim for the Head
Recap:
We'd moved into helicopters from the vehicles; Nicolai, Yuri and Carlos in one while Toni, Dmitri and I took another. It was the easiest way to assess any damage in the city and exactly where the outbreak had started and where we were needed the most. From up here it didn't look like the city had changed at all there were no tell-tale signs that something bad was beginning until we got to a certain sector of the city. A couple of plumes of smoke rose from burning cars; traffic had come to halt after several car crashes. I leant slightly further out of the door of the helicopter before a hand stopped me from leaning out any further.
"Careful don't want you falling out." Toni stated holding onto me until I shifted back to my seat in the helicopter. "Nervous?"
"More worried." I answered looking down at my feet. "My little girl, she's at the school."
Somewhere within Raccoon City
Monday 17th April: 6:00P.M
My god what the hell happened? Within just a couple of hours of the Hive being re-opened the whole city is in chaos. People eating people, it's like a really freaky horror film, one of those zombie apocalypse flicks. I want to wake up and this would all just be a dream, but it's not and god I'm so scared. Scared for my life, for Caroline's life…for Carlos…
"Hurry up Alex! They're closing in quick!" Toni hollered as we scarpered through an alleyway and back onto a main road. Police lights whirled round spreading blue and red light over the piles of corpses that would soon reanimate and come after us. Cars were swerved all over the place; one or two had even crashed into buildings.
"Grenade!" yelled a distant voice probably another UBC or a member of the army. Dmitri immediately pushed both Toni and I down behind an open car door. Within a couple of hours the whole city had gone to hell, these…zombies had taken over the place and anyone who was even scratched by one of them was doomed to turn into one of them.
"What the hell? They're still coming!" yelled a nearby police officer who began firing rapidly. Think Alex think, what did the late nights watching stupid horror films teach you? Damn it what was the common thing when it came to those damn films? The head!
"Toni, Dmitri aim for the head!" I yelled taking up position behind another car and readying my pistol. If we didn't conserve enough ammo now we'd be in deep trouble once these things overwhelmed us.
"What?" Dmitri shouted running over and kneeling behind the car in front of mine; he readied his gun and started to take a couple of shots. If any of the late night horror movies had taught me, was that when it came to zombies or at least what looked like zombies, the head was their weakness.
"The head trust me, it's their weakness." I yelled back, he nodded and began aiming for the heads immediately and it began working however we were being overrun by them. I took a couple of shots before reloading once again. God I hope Caroline is alright, this is not a situation I ever pictured we'd end up in.
Raccoon City Junior High School
Monday 17th April 7:00P.M
Oh god, oh god, this was a nightmare it had to be, there was no way in hell that zombies existed. Right Caroline just wake up and it will all be okay. I was on my own in the geography room hidden in the corner with a table protecting me, the best place to be in a…in a zombie apocalypse the corner…if I had a weapon to take them out with…
Moaning and the tell-tale sound of feet dragging came from outside, please god let them go away and leave me alone! I clutched the chair leg close to my chest, my only defence against these things. I closed my eyes for a split second trying to calm down even if was just a smidgen when they immediately snapped open. The door had opened…
"Hello…"someone whispered, I knew that voice I peeked over the table and sighed.
"Angie?" I questioned as I looked over the table. "What are you doing here? Didn't you leave?"
"The car crashed, I made my way back here." She replied as she came into the classroom, closing the door quietly behind her and joining me behind the upturned table.
"You're hurt." I stated as I noticed the sharp cut along her forehead.
"I'm just happy I'm still alive."
"What exactly are all those things?" I whispered as once more moaning picked up in the hallway, we stayed quiet for a couple of minutes before the moaning moved passed our classroom.
"I don't know."
