"Eren?"
"…What?"
"There's a spider on your back"
"…."
Their day was ended with Eren loudly screaming bloody murder in which Sakura cut short by slapping the spider dead. The guts stayed on his shirt and he immediately burned the said shirt before wrapping himself tightly in blankets as Petra looked on with disbelief. Sakura scoffed, "Baby" before she went to the bed which Petra was also laying down in. The two queen size bedroom had a separate door which they closed in case the infected managed to break through the other door. Everyone settled but Eren last mumbled, "Stupid spiders….all crawly and whatnot….why the hell do they have to have six leg?" which Sakura threw a pillow at him, "Shut up" silencing him.
It was eerily quiet yet peaceful.
'I better not tell him about the caterpillar in his hair' Sakura thought as she turned her back to Petra and Eren. Ten seconds later, "KYAAAH!"
"It's just a fuckin' caterpillar!"
[Currently on Lillian February 11:57 P.M]
{Side note - Five months since September, two months since Petra joined}
"Sakura"
"Yes, Eren?"
"Care to explain to shed some light on this situation?"
"Um no, not really, Petra, care to shed some light on this situation?"
"…I am an idiot for letting you talk us into this and I would love to leave this place in one piece"
The three of them were laying on the beams above of the store known as Wal-Mart and there is currently a group of people who wish to kill them with their pretty guns!
"I'm surprised we managed to get up here. It's awesome" Sakura let out a small chuckle which made Petra smack her upside the head. In doing so, cause Sakura to hit her face against the beam and in turn caused a nose bleed. "Aw crap, wait! I have tissues!" Sakura reached into her back pocket and pulled out a small package of tissue.
"When did you get that?" Eren asked as he watched Sakura rolled the tissues up then stuff it up her nose. "Remember when I shoved them in your face? And you thought I was stupid for bringing them. So who's stupid now," Sakura's voice was slightly nasally due to the tissues but her matter of fact tone made Eren want to shove her off the beam.
"Well, what's the plan?"
"Let me think"
"How do we end up in these situations?" Petra asked herself as she remembered how their morning started off so well with hot cocoa.
[February 5:27 A.M Morning Base #2 with Sakura]
It was early morning and Sakura had a religious-like morning where she sat on the roof edge with a cup of hot liquid. In this case, she was sipping hot cocoa with Petra who is up around the same time to enjoy the sunrise.
It was the one thing that wasn't tainted by the apocalypse, the one moment of bliss for the two (and Eren, if he could get up in the morning).
"How did you get hot cocoa? It's practically extinct now" It was true for many items as people wiped clean of all of the stores products. However, Sakura Haruno has her ways. "Oh you know me, I have my ways….alright I got it off a couple of bandits and soldiers. I nearly got shot so savor the damn taste, who knows if we'll ever find more" Sakura got the look for Petra when Sakura tried sip her drink and act mysterious but gave in.
"You're impossible" Petra chuckled as they entered silence, the only sound was them sipping their hot cocoa. Sakura swung her legs back and forth as the sun slowly shined the night away. Soon enough, the dark sky will mixed with the bright sun and it will soon be orange for a moment. The one moment that the two loved the most.
Petra normally stayed quiet during their mornings as Sakura is slow to wake up and prefer to listen to the city's noises. However, a single question itch her curiosity and she just had to scratch.
"So Sakura, why are you sticking with us? Eren mentioned how you were only supposed to help him out until you found your friend. You did unfortunately but he's still with you plus I'm with you." Petra asked in a low voice, stuck between wanting Sakura not to hear but to answer at the same time.
Sakura let out a small hum as if trying to think up an answer, whether if it would be a lie or not, Petra doesn't know.
"I literally have no idea. I might be fond of the boy perhaps. He puts up with me because he wants to find his sister so why not? Although, you….well you're like a rabbit. How could I leave a cute bunny to fend for itself? Actually I would've but in the heat of the moment, I decided, 'why the fuck not?' and here we are. Problem?" Sakura casually gave her answer to Petra who was shocked. She didn't expect an honest answer from her or an answer at all.
"Huh? I see. So do you think we'll find his sister and…my group?" Petra asked curious but hesitant when she ask about herself which Sakura caught. Sakura set her cup down and hunch over to put her elbows to her legs to put her head on her palms. Petra nearly jumped up as Sakura looked as if she was about to fall forward but Sakura's legs or feet were planted against the side of the building. Sakura waved her off as to assure her that Sakura knew what she was doing.
"It depends on your group and what kind of person his sister is. They could be in the downtown area, the dangerous place to be as most infected are there due to failed attempts at gathering the untouched goodies. Or in the upper town where people made a small society, I prefer to stay away as people tend to be untrustworthy. Or they could be in the Main City, or the neutral area, which is also where we stay at… (Sip)...So tell me, why do you hesitant to speak about your group? Are you scared of them? Do you not want to go back to them? What worries that little head of yours?" Sakura asked as she glanced over at Petra who was taken back by the question.
"No, no, nothing like that. It's just…I'm what people call, 'the weak link'" She looked down at the cup of cocoa. Sakura let out a small hum again. "Is that it? They would've left you long time ago if you are what you say. I know I would" Sakura picked up her cup and sip the chocolate goodness. Petra's grip around the cup tighten. "That's because the leader and co-leader of my group are childhood friends of mine, both of them" Sakura looked down at her.
"Is that it? From what I heard, you're the weakest yet a childhood friend. So why is it that you have to find them and not vice versa. Why bother to go back to people who don't even bother to look for you? By now, you should've meet up with them. Or rather, a meeting point should've been established in case any one of you get separated so where is that? Why do you stay with them?" Sakura asked question after question, bombarding Petra who hesitates to say anything.
"I….I am…in love with one…of them"
'Ah fuck me sideways with a cactus' Sakura thought as she let out a sigh which she couldn't make any quieter. "Ah yes, love, the greatest thing ever as people would say yet it likes to fucks you in the ass at the worst moment. I understand everything now. Whelp! I can't help you in that department" Sakura told Petra who continued to look at the cup. Sakura downed her cocoa before standing up. Petra looked up, the sun has risen and the day has begun.
"Word of advice, people who don't care for your well-being, puts you down, looks at you in pity, and abandons you, should be dropped immediately before you actually hurt yourself. You shouldn't waste your time of those type of people. They'll be your downfall in the end. We're moving out at 8 so be ready by then" Sakura jumped down and patted Petra on the back before leaving to the stair well,
Petra let out a small sigh followed by a small chuckled, "You think I don't know that" She downed her cup of cocoa before turning herself towards doors then jumped off the edge to the roof. She took the two cups before heading down.
'I would like to believe they're looking for me but I doubt it'
[February 7:30 A.M Morning Main Town 9 miles away]
"Light's up, we need to get moving. Soldiers were reported nearby" A male ordered, it is obvious that he was the leader. He led a medium-sized group consisting of four females and five males including him. They were camping out in an abandoned building, an office place about five stories.
"It's not like they'll find us!" A high-pitched female voice said as her sleep was ruined. Everyone pretty much ignored her. The shortest male in the room who was the one who inform their leader about the soldiers, wondered why their leader bothers to keep her in their group.
She provides no help or support in any way possible.
"Erwin! Look what I found!" a red haired girl with black glasses excitedly showed her leader a box of cocoa. "Huh? Where did you find it?" he asked curious as he observed the box. It was a rare item as most stores were salvaged.
"I found it in an office building! It was odd," She took the box back and held it like it was a unicorn. "That's good Hanji, why don't you show Levi?" Erwin told Hanji whose eyes lit up and immediately went to bother Levi who grimaced. When Levi saw the smirk on Erwin's face, two and two was put together and aimed a glare at the leader.
Erwin walk off then went around to make sure everyone was getting up and ready. The females slept on one side and the males on the other side with the exception of couples. His gaze fell on another blonde man with the similar haircut to the shortest male known as Levi.
"Oluo, we're leaving in thirty minutes" Erwin informed Oluo who looked sleep deprived. "Oh right, thanks" he rubbed his blood shot eyes before letting out a yawn. It's been a while since he had a proper nap or sleep or rest in general. Oluo wasn't paying attention to Erwin's pointed stare nor did he feel it, 'he's running himself ragged. Better keep an eye on him' Erwin thought before heading back to his spot to gather his things.
Erwin knew why Oluo was like so, it was an issue that no one dared to bring up due to conflict. Many weren't happy with it and others felt it was the right thing to do. The forbidden topic caused animosity within the group during the first month. Only one week was spent on the issue before they moved on which is why a few felt indifference to everyone else.
Some of the members about three stayed off to the side and avoids speaking with the other members aside from their leader and co-leader.
In the other's mind, it was a wise choice to leave Petra for bait but the other's felt it was wrong to do so of leaving her behind when shit hit the fan. On top of that, they only spent a week on her then left it as if they thought that she wouldn't have made it alive out of the disaster of a base. As time went on, they were all convinced she was no longer alive and moved on.
However, Oluo thought otherwise for no other reason than his gut saying so.
[February 8:00 A.M Morning Base #2 with Sakura]
"Do you have a six?"
"Go fish"
Sakura and Petra were playing cards as they waited for Eren to get ready. Petra wore a black V-neck tee with a thin black jacket, including blue skinny jeans with black shoes. Sakura wore an army green tank top with black Capri pants and red converse shoes. Sakura has a rule against loose fitting clothes.
The chances of it getting caught on something is high.
"Do you have a five?" Petra asked as she looked through her cards, she would look up often as she didn't realize Sakura had tattoos. "I have a hi-five!" Sakura exclaimed straightening her back. "Doesn't count," Petra said, which caused Sakura to pout and draw another card as she didn't have a five or a red. They were actually playing UNO and Sakura would say, 'Go fish' or 'You sunk my battleship' or 'Checkmate'. Petra indulges her as it is how Sakura is at times.
"When did you get tattoos?" Petra asked, as she put down a red one covering the green one. Sakura scrunched her nose as she looked over her cards, then she drew another card. She had no greens and the new card was blue, which is the majority of her cards. She let out a frustrated sigh. "I got them when I was in high school. What's taking Eren so long?" Sakura answered, she put down her final card and won the game. "No idea" Petra threw the cards up in the air before wondering the same. "You know how he is sometimes, plus I don't think throwing a balloon full of blood at him was the best decision, especially rotten blood," Petra mentioned, she sipped some water from a chipped glass cup.
Sakura pulled out a chocolate bar from her jacket that was folded. "It's not my fault he asked, 'what's in the balloon?' you both know I'll show you rather than tell you. Geez," Sakura shrugged with no sympathy for Eren. Petra let out a small sigh as she shook her head.
It wasn't for another five minutes did Eren come out of the room fully dressed and clean. Sakura let out a snort, "Dude, what are you a chick now? Why are you so keen on being clean? We literally spent three days in a sewer and smelled like sewer water for a whole week without showering," Sakura asked amused. Eren scowled, "Sewer water and blood are two different kind of liquids, god damn it. Secondly, I didn't clean myself because you kept shoving me into the water so I eventually gave up as there would be no point! Now are we leaving or not?" Eren huffed walking to the front door.
Sakura raised an eyebrow at Petra who did a small shrug, "Our little Eren is finally going through puberty!" Sakura exclaimed loudly so Eren could hear. Eren shouted back with, "Shut up!" and his voice cracked at the end a little which result in Sakura uncontrollably laughing. Petra covered her mouth to avoid letting out a huge laugh, it came out a snort which made Sakura laugh harder. Eren stood outside wondering why the hell he is stuck with a crazy lunatic and an uncaring woman.
He hated the fact that he was the youngest at sixteen years old and his two older companions are of twenty-six. Sakura being the oldest, oddly enough since she displays the childish behavior. They found out she's older than Petra by like a day. Literally, a day and Sakura loves to brag about it much to the two's dismay.
"Alright! Let us be off, "Sakura shouted suddenly pulling a straight face after the long minute of laughter. It scares Petra and Evan often at how fast Sakura could change her laughter, like a psychopath.
They were out the apartment and Petra locked up shortly after. Sakura skipped alongside Eren who was irritated with Petra who looked amused.
[February 9:08 A.M Morning- Main City with Sakura]
"Where are we going?" Eren asked for the past hour and Sakura's annoyed face clearly showed that she was about to lose it. Petra kept a good three feet behind them for a good reason. They were in the middle of the abandoned streets, the wind howled through the empty buildings, and the infected groans heard too well. It puts Eren on his toes and makes Petra nervous while it excited Sakura.
"We are going on a trip in a rocket ship!"
"Shut up"
"I'm on the highway hell"
"Shut it"
"Don't be such a buzzkill"
"Your horrible singing nearly got us kill last time"
"Nonsense!" Sakura exclaimed as she cut down an infected that caught them in their sights. Eren let out a small hum as he noticed multiple infected walking towards them, very enthusiastically. It was a good thing that the infected are slowed during the day and it would be hell on earth afterhours. Eren is thankful that he managed to convince Sakura to stop going on little hunts during the curtain of night. The third time of nearly getting bitten was enough to make him put his foot down.
"So where are we going exactly?" Petra asked, as she danced to the side to avoid an infected. She didn't bother to lift her crowbar as it would be a waste of stamina. Sakura ponder on the question as she, herself, did not know. "Let's go to Wal-Mart! It's been a while like months!" Sakura happily skipped ahead of them dodging the infected without slowing down. Eren let out a small sigh. Wal-Mart is a place where there are tons of infected located at and seems as it may, it was difficult getting in. The automatic doors were broken and stuck in place with infected behind them. The backdoors would be a way in but it's locked so lock picking time. Eren was sure that Sakura would assess the situation and choose the hard way intently because it was fun!
"Great! I hope you got your running shoes on, Eren. We're in for a treat," Petra said sarcastically bumping shoulders with Eren who groaned. It caused Petra to grin. "Fantastic! Well if I'm going to be running from death, I'm getting some damn cheese and crackers!" Eren exclaimed jumping onto a car before jumping off as the abandoned car blocked their path. "That's the spirit!" Sakura shouted up ahead which caught more attention but she paid no mind to it as she skipped along. Eren helped Petra down like a gentleman. They both looked at Sakura and she danced across the street singing while smacking more infected's heads off.
'We're gonna die at this rate' they both thought, they gave each other a look as if they knew they were thinking the same thing. Letting out a chuckle before Sakura shouted back at them to 'hurry up'. They had to go a slight jog to catch up to Sakura who was dancing on a car, seductively? They don't know and honestly rather not know, especially when she started dancing with a head of an infected she just beheaded.
"Sakura, come on, we got a schedule to keep! If we don't leave now, we can't do our signature 'destroy a building and run from maniacs' event!" Eren called out to her as the pair walked past Sakura. They were still close enough to hear Sakura say, "I am sorry my love, it would seem our time together is over but worry not! For I will be back for that beautiful face of yours! Adieu! And FORT!" she immediately threw it up and hit it at full strength before observing how far it went. "Touchdown!" Sakura shouted, putting both arms up to indicate the touchdown. "It doesn't work like that, Sakura," Eren told Sakura loudly before she shrugged jumping off the car. "Who cares, football, golf, soccer, and its dead now. Literally, look!" Sakura pointed a football players with its helmet still on walking around in an empty store. Petra chuckled a bit while Eren scowled.
"Right"
[Fast Forward to 11 o'clock at Walmart with Sakura and the Gang]
"You know as much as I love to run from infected as the next person. Do you think we could, oh I don't know, at least once, just get the things and leave? I nearly got my leg ripped off back there and it scares me a little that we act like that didn't happen at all" Eren voiced his concerns as usual. It always happens when they just got done from entering hell and running through throwing water balloons at everyone then pissing everyone off and nearly dying at the hands of Satan himself. Exciting, right?
They were walking on Wal-Mart's parking lot, it was littered with abandoned cars, trucks, a single diesel truck turned on its side, and trash blowing by. Like in the old western movie, Sakura even did the sound when a tumbleweed blew by, and the two chuckled a bit. A good old classic.
"You know it's no fun if we don't scream in peril and run with jelly legs. Though, I see your point and raise you a ten. We should have a picnic in the store! It'll be fun, trust me," Sakura assured them as she pulled out lunch from her bag to indicate she was serious. "I don't care at this point. As long as we aren't late for our 12 o'clock appointment" Eren muttered as he downed a water bottle. The sun blazed like it was the middle of summer and it's the desert. The heat attacked the unprotected skin and caused their skin to turn a shade of red. Sakura noticed that Eren's face was red with sweat trickling down the side of his face. "Better hydrate yourself or you'll get a heat stroke, there aren't any hospitals nearby, you know" Sakura mentioned as she gave Petra a bottle. She can be nice too!
"Thanks but aren't you a nurse?"
"Doctor! I didn't spend 8 years in medical school to be called a damn nurse! Dr. Mario is what I am"
"It's Dr. Sakura"
"What's the difference? We both give out pills and an ass-kicking"
"…This isn't Super Mario Smash"
"Who asked you?"
The conversation was dropped with Petra's shrug. There's no point in arguing with Sakura, she'll make you argue over ridiculous things and have you saying stupid things before eventually agreeing with her somehow. It's odd in their opinion.
They ventured up to the right of the store near the plants and gardening area. The sliding doors were closed with infected behind them. They looked around to see if there was a way in and Sakura almost asked if she could break the doors before Eren pointed to the gardening area. "Let's try that door there. I'm sure it's open, probably, who knows?" Eren said quickly but he wasn't in the mood to run away from scary monsters when he is already dead tired. "If not, we can try to enter through the automotive side too" Petra threw in when Sakura was about to rebut the decision of the gardening. Sakura gave a betrayed look to Petra who smiled in apology.
They made their way in the garden area. There was a bag of soil laying on the ground opened with blood mixed in. It was dried and the color was blackish, Sakura knew it was likely it was months ago when the stain was made. The plants were scattered on the ground with shattered ceramic pots. The usually green area is now full of dead plants with no leaves on it or wither to a brownish green color. They approached the doors which had no infected near it but it was shut close. "Maybe, we can prop it open with a crowbar?" Eren suggested when he saw it closed. Sakura shrugged, she pulled out a crowbar and jammed it in. "Calm down Sakura, we need to be quiet or else, we'll attract attention" Petra informed Sakura, who looked a little impatient to the two of them. Sakura let out a small huff, "you guys just want to ruin my fun, don't you?" she asked, before slowly opening it. "We literally ran from a horde of infected, no more than five minutes ago," Eren replied as he squeezed his way in when Sakura managed to prop it open large enough.
"Touché," Sakura said as she squeezed through after Petra. She had hold down her backpack to avoid it making rattling sounds that would echo in the area. They got through and noted that there were at least five infected nearby. None of which seen them yet. "So who would love to take the lead since you two seem to not listen to me?" Sakura asked as she leaned against the cashier counter. She thought about stealing the money inside the register but it would make noise so she held back. She was considerate of her two companions.
"Well, first off, what do we need?" Eren asked, as he sat on the counter, Petra remained standing. Sakura pulled out a piece of paper. "The usual, food, water, medical supplies like pills, bandages, and the like. And any essentials as in shampoo for Eren dearie, clothes, shoes for Petra sweetie, and womanly items, I'm sure you know what I mean, "Sakura directed her question to Eren who huffed, "Of course, I do. You literally lecture me on it." Eren had the misfortune of asking Sakura what she had and she gave a full blown speech on it, it amused Petra. "I think we should, we go from here to the shampoo aisles leading to the medicine then move over to towards house appliances and bedding thing. Then the electronic if needed, to the cleaning supplies then the grocery aisle, "Petra said in which the other two agreed.
"Well, let's go. Lead the way Mr. Iscreamlikeagirlatthesightofaspider," Sakura teased Eren who turned red to the tips of his ears. "Shut up! Spiders are evil" He mumbled to himself before walking off in the direction of the hair care products. Sakura almost wanted to find a toy rubber spider to mess with Eren. So who knows, maybe she will. She chuckled to herself evil like.
Petra looked on worried for Eren's sake.
[Meanwhile with "Them"]
"Erwin, I don't think it will be a good idea. It's likely to have multiple infected, maybe even the mutant ones," Oluo let Erwin know, as the group of nine walked in the direction of Wal-Mart. Coincidence? I think not. "Thank you Oluo for your input but it's the only place with a high percentage for supplies. It is likely not many were able to get in or out, for that matter. The doors are locked with infected inside, if there are any mutants in there. We will deal with it upon sight. We are running low on supplies," Erwin explained ending the conversation. "We wouldn't be if Petra was here," Oluo mumbled to himself. Levi turned a sharp eye to him, "If you have something to say Oluo, I suggest you say it out loud," he said to Oluo who gave a blank look. "I said, we wouldn't be if Petra was here. She kept tracked of our supplies and knew how to distribute them out properly, unlike Satoshi there," silence hung on the group only the sound of their feet crunching rocks was heard.
Nothing was said other than, "We're not talking about this." That's it. Not even the girl, Ami, could say anything. Their leader's word is law. They continued forth until they entered the parking lot.
"That reminds me, those other people were heading this way. You know those three who were running away from that huge horde of infected," Hanji spoke up after the deafening silence. Erwin craned his head towards her. "I doubt they are alive, it was a massive horde," he said confident.
[Rewind to 10 O'clock]
"Erwin, we should get going soon," Hanji mentioned as they stand on the roof of the building that they slept in. "Yeah I know, I'm scouting ahead to make sure there isn't anything blocking our path, like last time," he said. Last time, they accidently ran into a street with a turn over diesel truck and it blocked the entire time. Luckily, they managed to get over before anyone got killed.
"Erwin, look," Levi gestured to the three figures on the roof of two buildings over.
"What the hell are they doing?" one of the members, Hilda, asked as they saw the three figures jumping across the building towards them. There was a mutant behind them. "Oh shit, you think we should help?" Leon, another member, asked, as he watched them successfully jump and now, they were looking around in a panic matter.
"Where the hell do we go? Damn it, Sakura, would you quit eating those damn chips?" a young male shouted at his pink haired companion. "Piss off! Look!" she shouted back at him but immediately found the fire escape on the side of the building that another one of their companion had found. "See Petrie knows what she's doing unlike your whiny ass," she yelled following her companion who didn't bother to see if they were following her.
"I don't think they need much of our help," Jorgen said as he watched their pink haired companion shoot the mutant in the face. However, the shot rang through the buildings and infected flock towards them. Like a moth to a flame. They saw the three run in the direction of the place they would soon head to. The last they heard was, "Damn it Sakura, you just had to piss off a mutant over a damn bag of chip!"
"Fuck you! I need the damn calories!"
"Shut up the both of you!"
[Fast-forward to 11:30]
Erwin and his group found that the two front doors were locked shut with infected behind it. They came to the same conclusion in a sense as Petra and went through the gardening section.
"The doors are pried open, Erwin," Hilda observed, she got down on a knee to observe the spot. She's the tracker in the group and able to pick up on little details. "Two or three people came through here and not too long as it would seem." They were about to debate whether or not they should have some on guard when Levi founded a chip bag.
"I believe those three people we saw earlier are here and alive, since the bag is completely empty, not even a crumb left," Levi said as he flipped the bag upside down to see nothing. He balled it up and threw it over his shoulder.
"Well that's nice to hear, although they didn't seem like the type to survive," Jorgen shrugged as he squeezed through the doors to establish a position on the other side. He gestured to them that it was clear to come over. They eventually made it through, a guard was left behind, an unnamed male whose appearance is not important as he will die later on.
"Keep a look out, if those three survive then it's obvious that they may become our enemy soon," Erwin said and Hanji followed up with a, "They could want to have a sleepover, play dress up and paint our nails! You ever thought about that Erwin?" Hanji asked but she got a blank look from him.
"God I hope not, I rather hope they're the enemy"
He left it at that as he moved along. Oluo hung back a little, absorb in his mind, as he thought back to the three survivors were running. The name "Petrie" was similar to Petra in terms of spelling but that wasn't the only thing. He clearly heard her voice, 'Shut up the both of you!' and it was faint but he knew her voice. Then he wondered why none of the others recognized her voice but soon realized that they left her die so why bother remembering her voice? He hopes he'll see the trio.
And so hope will be granted!
[With Sakura and the Gang 11:30 A.M]
"I found tissues, the little novelty ones too! It's so awesome," Sakura shoved a handful of tissues in Eren's face. Eren moved his face away but Sakura kept the tissues firm in his face. "That's nice Sakura but we need to grab the more important things," Eren said pushing her hand away. She scoffed in response, "What if you get sick and you need a tissue? What if I get a nosebleed? Huh? Huh? Do you not care about my livelihood?" Sakura acted offended but Eren rolled his eyes walking past her. Petra ignore the two idiots behind her as she stuff a duffel bag with clothes.
They gotten the shampoo crap, everything medical possible, and other things. Sakura had found one of those cart like you see at home depot to transport huge items. Like a mini flatbed cart. They gotten six duffel bags filled up and they are quite happy about it. They still had a couple more bags to fill up and they haven't hit the food yet too.
They eventually got to the food aisle and Sakura was having a little too much fun. "Sakura put the bag of chips back now. We went through no more than an hour ago," Eren scolded Sakura as she opened a bag of chips, it was Cheetos Puffs. "I love the awesome cheesy taste," Sakura defended herself.
"You know what? I don't care, just pack up the food," Eren said as he went down the aisle to get whatever food products were left.
It took them a whole ten minutes to fill up the last duffel bags. The other group were slowly making their way as they were being cautious. Sakura finally had them move to the back area to get out through the back with their awesome loot. They got to the back but it was locked as usual so Sakura decided to break it down. However, she heard people behind the locked door.
"Hide the loot," she whispered to Petra who immediately put the bags in the corner and threw a tarp over it. They were about to leave when the entire door went down. "You idiot, do you want the undead on our asses?" One said to the other. "Sorry" the other one said sheepishly, backing off for the, what Sakura presumed is the leader.
Sakura, Eren and Petra stood in front of them. They looked surprised and didn't expect Sakura to quickly shoot the guy in the knee.
"Run children! Run" Sakura shouted as she pushed the two in front of her back to the store. "Son of a-get them now. I want them all dead, god damn it," the leader shouted in pain as he clutched his wounded knee. The subordinates ran after Sakura letting lose bullets.
"This is fun!"
"I would love to miss one of these 12 o'clock appoints sometimes," Eren shouted as he jumped over a few boxes. Petra was slightly ahead of them and they ducked into the clothes aisle. They quickly loss them but Sakura decided, "We should climb to the beams!" is what she said before heading to the bike area to climb up. The other two had no choice but to follow. "Sakura, I don't-"Petra begun to say but duck out of an infected's grasp. "Never mind," she said as she ran in front of them and jumped onto the bikes.
"Wow! Petrie, you so fast!" Sakura grinned as she was slightly behind her. Eren couldn't comprehend what had happen and simply followed. He was out of breath when they got to the top and he wanted to nap.
"I think I had enough exercise for the day," Eren said as he laid his forehead against the cold metal. Sakura snickered as she pulled out a candy bar. "This is fun, we should do this more often," Sakura said as she snapped a piece of chocolate off. Petra was trying to calm her breathing down, her legs felt like it was being weighed down.
They saw the group of armed people running around, trying to look for them especially for the pink haired woman who shot their leader.
And so, we end up back here.
…
[Currently 11:57 P.M]
"Sakura"
"Yes, Eren?"
"Care to explain to shed some light on this situation?"
"Um no, not really, Petra, care to shed some light on this situation?"
"…I am an idiot for letting you talk us into this and I would love to leave this place in one piece"
The three of them were laying on the beams above of the store known as Wal-Mart and there is currently a group of people who wish to kill them with their pretty guns!
"I'm surprised we managed to get up here. It's awesome" Sakura let out a small chuckle which made Petra smack her upside the head. In doing so, cause Sakura to hit her face against the beam and in turn caused a nose bleed. "Aw crap, wait! I have tissues!" Sakura reached into her back pocket and pulled out a small package of tissue.
"When did you get that?" Eren asked as he watched Sakura rolled the tissues up then stuff it up her nose. "Remember when I shoved them in your face? And you thought I was stupid for bringing them. So who's stupid now?" Sakura's voice was slightly nasally due to the tissues but her matter of fact tone made Eren want to shove her off the beam.
"Well, what's the plan?"
"Let me think"
"How do we end up in these situations?" Petra asked herself as she remembered how their morning started off so well with hot cocoa.
…
"You just had to shoot the guy in the knee…why did you?" Eren asked, it is the first time he ever saw Sakura shoot someone so fast. It's odd but not uncommon, although she likes to chat with the people instead of pointless shooting.
"I didn't like the look on his face," Sakura shrugged, and at that moment, the two remember that they were hanging around with a psychopath.
"Oh look, we got company of nine!"
"Are they with the same guy you shot?" Eren asked, as he tried to get a closer look at the people. "I don't think so," Sakura looked down at them but she didn't care much as she pulled out another bag of chips. "I wish I had popcorn. Oh lookie, they're gonna have a showdown!" Sakura pointed out as she ate the cheesy goodness. Petra sighed as she reached over to grab some as well.
She was tired and she didn't care if two groups decided to kill each other. It's good entertainment. She was about halfway eating the chip when she saw somebody.
"Fuck"
"I know, I wish I had some popcorn"
"No, I know that guy, that's-that's my group," Petra looked on in disbelief and she dropped the cheese balls much to Sakura's dismay. "Why would you do that?" Sakura asked in horror as she watched the cheeseballs fall to the ground dramatically. "We have to save them"
"What? Why? I am not sticking my neck out for commoners," Sakura was firm on her decision but Petra immediately said, "I can't let Oluo die."
"Oh is that the guy-"
"No, but he is the only one that gives a shit"
"Urgh fine, whatever. I guess, oh look, it's a Mexican stand off!" Sakura shouted excitedly but the two knew what she meant. Two groups and the infected horde as well. It will a hell zone down there and Eren was not happy about it. Petra just wants to see familiar faces. Sakura….she just wants to have fun.
"Alright, let's get this reunion started!"
"It's my reunion, Sakura"
"Yeah, but you're asking for my help so shut the fuck up and let's party"
"I think I'm going to sit this one out-"Eren began to say until Sakura shoved him off the beam into the big ball pit below, "Let's go Eren!"
Sakura followed immediately laughing and Petra shook her head as she jumped down as well. "Next time, a little warning would be nice," Eren glared at Sakura as he tried to get out to no avail. Sakura scoffed as she rolled out of the bin and through the wires. "Whatever, you are such a baby. Petra did it and she's normally scared of heights," Sakura explained but Petra was too busy worrying about her old friend about to be killed by gunshots or being eaten.
"Let's go, let's go," Petra pulled at Sakura's sleeve. Sakura felt like a parent with her child pulling her around to see some boy band or something like that. "Alright, I'm going, come on Eren," Eren got pulled along right when he was about to hide in the ball pit. "No, I don't wanna run anymore," He shouted as he tried to cling to the ball pit. He couldn't.
They jogged to the front of the store where Sakura last saw the enemy group. "Okay, you guys, I got this," Sakura said confident as she put her plan into action.
A few seconds later, "You got this? You got this? How is having infected on our asses is you getting this?" Eren shouted as he ran down the aisles with ten infected behind them. Petra was pushing over whatever she can to slow down the infected. Sakura laughed manically, "This is the greatest day ever."
"Sakura, we are going to die," Eren shouted as they jumped through the kitchen appliances. Sakura shouted, "Petra push the aisle. Domino effect!" They shoved the aisle down and set the domino effect. The infected got trapped under the stands. "Fuck yeah," Petra shouted in triumph. Sakura and Petra high fived while Eren tried to catch his breath.
"Now" Petra turned to Sakura and slapped her across the face.
"How in the actual fuck did you think that going up to the people whose leader you shot in the knee? Why would you throw a fuckin' ball at them? Where did you get the ball? And why did you beat a man with butter in a sock? This ain't fuckin' iCarly and you aren't Sam, god damn it. Eren, back off! Also why the hell do you always have to attract trouble, how the hell does that happen? We nearly got fuckin' killed two hours ago and now we just got through a frickin' hell chase. And where the fuck do you keep getting the chips from? Is your bag infinite space in there?" Petra ranted as all she wanted to do was sleep now.
"Petra?" Petra stopped to turn to the voice that she knew too well but was afraid of. She cringed when she saw who it was. Her entire group was standing there with their mouths open and shocked. Never have they heard Petra raise her voice or curse before.
"Hey, Oluo"
"Reunion time!"
"Shut up Sakura!"
