A/N: So I just did the math, which is not my forte, and I now realize that I've aged the survivors wrong. O.O Ro seemed to have aged 2 years while Nick only aged 1; I guess Coach can be 47, and Ellis would be 26, since he already said he was 10 years older than Kay. _' Okay. I messed up. But it's going to stay that way. SORRY if anyone cares! :) Oh, also sorry that my chapters are getting longer, but I'll try fix that sometime, but I write so much, but I gotta take a break since I found out that I forgot about an essay. ):


Chapter Eight: Starry Starry Night

Nick went about cracking eggs and slapping bacon in a frying pan, not one anyone had used to kill zombies with. Kay wandered over with a white apron and slung it over Nick. It read 'Kiss the Cook'. Nick gave a small look of annoyance but kept it on. He didn't seem to be in the mood to argue. He filled up some plates and left them on the desk. "Breakfast is served."

"Woot! Real food!" Bandit grinned at the pile of bacon that she helped herself from, quite generously.

"Nick...I've taken a real likin' to you at this moment, my man." Coach spoke vaguely as he picked up his plate and took almost half of the bacon.

"Wow...I didn't know you could cook, Nick." Ro smiled at Nick, who looked away from her. She frowned a little, but helped herself anyways without another word.

"Why is there sooo much alcohol left?" Jude stared at the freezer that was way more than half full of bottles and the fridge had two shelves full of beer still, not counting the alcohol in the backpacks salvaged from Frank's house. "Dude, we didn't even make a dent!"

"Oh my god, I wanna die. I'm not gonna drink like that for awhile..." Bandit was already finished eating and had taken to her four blankets on the couch, buried under it. There was a murmur of agreement.

After breakfast, everyone was quiet. Not that awkward quiet, but the quiet nobody was willing to break since they all had a screaming headache. Finally, there were voices that could be heard.

"Oh my god! Never again. Never let me drink that much again!" Leo's muffled voice came from his couch he'd passed out on. His head was buried under his arms and blanket.

"I know! I have that cotton-candy feeling stuck in my head...oh wait...it's more like cotton-candy made of steel wool." I frowned at the ceiling. I wasn't sure if I wanted to eat. It looked good...but not at that moment. I didn't really have a choice since Nick brought two plates over as he came over to sit down too. He'd forgotten the apron he was still wearing.

"Here." Nick's expression was stoic as ever as he kept his stare on me. I felt a little awkward, vulnerable almost, under that unreadable stare. I don't think I ever noticed how green his eyes were. God, I hated myself right there. I've always hated these damned dark eyes; I was always jealous of anyone with lighter coloured eyes; especially green. I sat there with a fork in my mouth for a good minute or so, just staring. Covering up with annoyance always worked for me in these situations.

"What?" I asked with more than a note of annoyance, "Are you just going to watch me eat?"

Nick just raised an eyebrow as he picked at his own plate. "Yeah, but now that you ate some spit, it's less interesting."

"Seriously?" I just shook my head as I examined his face for any tells. I hated that poker face of his, opaque and unveiling, I didn't know if I wanted to eat anymore. Good for me though, I still had that bite in my mouth, so asshole-score number one for me: I spit it in his plate and smirked at him. "Bitch, have it back."

"Oh, come on!" Nick spat those words at me, the poker face dissipating, clearly irritated. "Y'know what? Starve next time. 'Cause that's the last time I'm cooking."

"I was a Culinary Arts student before this zombie shit, so don't count on it." I just continued eating anyways. Bandit was right, it was awhile since I ate something that wasn't junk food or processed. I ate a little faster than I would normally, partially because I didn't want any Nick revenge. He was quietly eating around the bit I spat out. "The bacon was a little dry, and the hash browns were kind of burnt."

"Yeah, well. I said you ate some spit. All gone now." Nick gave a brazen grin as he took the plates to the counter. I just frowned at him; clearly he had many years on me playing the asshole game.

"I think I'm gonna get baked, that might help..." Bandit sighed at the pain in her head, not wanting to overreact. She had a marshmallow-y feeling floating around in her head. "Anyone else?"

"Ah...yeah, count me in." Ellis sat beside her on the couch beside the TV, along with Jude and Kay. Those four seemed to get along just fine. I wandered over to sit with them too. "Nice jacket, Rikki."

"Oh why thanks, Ellis. It smells like puke, wanna see?" I offered, but I didn't expect him to actually smell the jacket. He made a face and looked up, nodding. I just laughed a little. My headache was suppressed, since the glass of rum anyways. I was lightly buzzed, since I never really drank rum that often. I was more of a beer person. Well, that's a lie...back in '07; it was a two-six of Captain Morgan for each day of the weekend.

"So you're jus wearin' it 'cause Nick lent it to ya?" Ellis smiled at me, with a glint in his eye. I just chose to smile at Ellis. "Figured as much."

""Whatever." I just pushed aside comments that resembled Ro's. I mean, I knew that they actually meant it, but I wasn't in the mood for playing High School today.

"So...Ro say anything?" Jude asked me as she passed a joint to me. So much for that. I just shook my head, which didn't hurt as much as before. I took a long inhale, thinking of how to answer Ro if she talked to me. I was kind of mad that I was mad at her at all. I don't know, I just never thought of Ro being a bitch...ever. I looked down at the jacket I wore; then again, I never thought Nick could be used in a sentence containing the word 'nice'. Ellis...well, he's exactly as I expected him to be. As for Coach, he was wise and hungry as ever. "Well, she better."

"Why?" I asked, it was her choice, I mean, I could be mad at someone all I want, and that wouldn't change anything. Mad, that was the last feeling I had towards Jeremy before that day. I was mad because he didn't want me to go hang out with his friends, like he didn't trust me around them without him. That was a stupid reason to be mad, now that I think of it. But that was probably because I'd never see Jeremy as himself again.

"Well...whatever then." Jude just shrugged. I guess she knew it was more of a rhetorical question than anything. Nonetheless, Ro came over with a look of apprehension on her face. But once eye contact was made, she couldn't turn around without looking stupid. To make things easier, I stood up and walked towards her, so as not to make anything awkward in the happy little crew of stoners.

... ... ...

"Hey Ro, what's up?" I smiled at her; no point in looking mad. She just shrugged as she sat down on a low desk. I took a seat beside her. "Uh..."

"Yes, Rikki, I remember most of last night. That...um...it wasn't fair to you, I know that." Ro started, not looking at me. Ugh, I hated dealing with girls about this kind of stuff. I mean, I don't care that I'm a girl; it was always annoying to try get along with other girls, growing up with boys and all. I saw what they meant when they said girls are complicated. I didn't see myself differently, because it was true. If I wasn't complicated, I would've been with Jeremy right now. But maybe not with Bandit or her friends, which was the difficult part of 'what if'. "I don't want to blame it on being drunk, and I don't exactly want to apologize either. Because I was saying how I feel, I'm just sorry you had to hear it while I was really drunk."

I nodded, and felt a stare on me. I looked up to see Ro look away as Nick's stare stayed on the two of us talking, sitting on the futon with 'Green Eggs and Ham'. He didn't look like he was actually reading it though. I'm pretty sure he wanted to know what we were talking about, but would never admit it. "Um, yeah...I guess I'm sorry too, for whatever's making you mad. I do want to know what you meant though..."

"Oh, um...well...Look, I've had this thing for Nick for awhile now. I didn't really want to admit it at first, because I'm not used of liking arrogant assholes. It was an off and on sort of thing...sometimes he'd like me other times he wouldn't even look at me." I cringed; I didn't want a personal story. I never knew how to react to them. 'Oh so and so died', I'd be thinking 'so what' while offering false condolences I was always concerned the other person would sense. I don't think I've ever thought of myself as looking out for number one, but thinking things over, it suited how I handled things. I felt that Ro's feelings didn't concern me as I thought they could. Sure she made me mad, but I didn't want to hear what she felt. I realized Ro was still talking. "I just think it's not fair that someone younger comes along and has all his attention."

"What do you mean?" I was kind of confused. I wasn't used of being the person who people were jealous of, so I never really felt like understanding how others handled it.

"Well, for starters; the whole time I've known the guy, he's never once lent me his jacket." Ro just gave a frown at me, and I looked down. I was...startled to say the least. "And do you even look in a mirror? You're gorgeous!"

"Ah...uh..." I tried to find something to say. Goddamn I hated these awkward moments! What the hell was I supposed to say to that? "Who're you kidding?"

"Rikki, you're kidding yourself if you don't think you're pretty. I'm just saying that Nick's noticed it." I looked over at Nick, who was looking rather annoyed with a very chatty and baked Ellis. "I...don't really care though. I mean, I've about had it with his shit anyways...if you want it, go for it."

"Yea-no." I held up my left hand, showing the gold band with a green jade heart embedded in it. It was like she finally noticed the only piece of jewellery I had on. In the background, I could see Nick look away. He turned to Ellis, probably to tell him to shut up.

"Oh! Um...that's an engagement ring, isn't it?" Ro looked a little apologetic at this point. I just nodded. "But...where is he?"

"Dead-ish. I'm not really interested in...whatever." I looked at Ro, and stood up. She just stared at me. "So yeah...glad we had this talk."


"Hey, Andi, Kay...Oi, Jude. Get over here." I motioned for them to come over; I wanted to get some real clothes. So I needed them. "I wanna get to my car. And go downtown today, let's go get us some real clothes."

"But I have real clothes." Kay looked down at her Bull Shifters shirt. She didn't see anything wrong with it.

"You don't change your clothes once in awhile?" I asked, and Kay looked up again with a look of sudden disgust.

"Ew...didn't think of it that way." Kay wandered over and grabbed a gun and machete. "Oi, you guys! We're gonna go loot some stores for a change of clothes!"

"Anyone wanna come?" I offered an open invitation. It could be easier if there were more of us. Jason and Leo perked up, looking down at their clothes.

"New clothes, now why didn't I think of that these past few years?" Nick rolled his eyes as he looked down at his grimy white pants and at the coat on me.

"You're disgusting." Jude scrunched her nose at the gambler.

"Hey, I wash it when I have the time." Nick frowned at her disgusted face. "Any good men's stores around here?"

"Uhh...there's the dress store that has some pretty nice suits in it." Jude recalled Vanna's Boutique in the middle of town. "Wait, where are we going?"

"Rock 'n' Sole, dude. Best clothes here, but they're so fucking expensive. What better time to get them than in a zombie apocalypse when it's free...sorta." I told them. They just nodded in both excitement and understanding. "And...that Boutique is on the same street as the store we're going to. Any other kinds of clothes?"

"Ooh, I want some shirts like...rock and stuff...anything like that in town?" Ellis perked up and I nodded. "Where?"

"Same store we're going to, Elle." I smiled as he gave a big smile and picked up his gun, "Coming along now?"

"I think we all want new clothes, Rikki. I mean, look at us, we're disgusting." Ro smiled, looking down at her wrinkled, vomit-stained pink shirt. I just nodded as we picked up our weapons. Nick looked at the katana I held, with the AK slung across my back.

"Did you want your gun back?" I asked, as Nick just raised an eyebrow as he took it back. "Well, I'm keeping the sword."

"Cool! Can I use this one?" Bandit grinned as she picked Coach's Combat Rifle, trying to figure out what worked what, and in the process, setting off three shots at Ellis' arm. Coach just gave a hearty laugh as he watched the kid handle the gun poorly. "OH! Sorry dude!"

"OWW! Watch where yer aimin' that thing, man!" Ellis groaned as he held his left arm. He looked at his arm and felt slightly better that the shots had only grazed his bicep. After cleaning the wound he perked up."Okay Canadians, gather 'round. So here's your basics on guns, since getting shot ain't fun, not gonna name anyone," Ellis coughed a rather audible 'Andi' before continuing, "Me 'n' Nick here are gonna go over basic gun handling."

"Why Nick? I mean...you're a hick, no offense, so you'd know lots about guns." Jude asked, making Ellis frown a little at her question.

"Because Nick here's a gambling, conman bonanza...a real bad ass. That's why." I replied putting a hand on the shoulder of the ever annoyed Nick. Ellis just nodded in agreement.

"Oh haha... you're real funny, sweetheart." Nick just rolled his eyes and picked up the AK-47, "Anyone know what gun this is?"

"That, sir, is a 7.62mm AK-47, magazine capacity of 40 with a 400m range." I smiled a little at the face Ellis made. I knew which guns were which, but using them was a different story.

"Holy shit, I'm in love y'all." Ellis joked as he held up a different gun. "What else do you know about guns?"

"5.56mm Combat Rifle, with 3-round bursts for accuracy." I looked at the two men who just stared in disbelief. "Look, just because I'm in a dress doesn't mean I don't game. Or look up cool guns to look at."

"Moving along..." Ro just smiled as the two men remembered what they were supposed to be doing.

"Well, there's your safety, the trigger and your ammo." Nick pointed out each one and showed us how to reload our guns and choose the ammo for each gun. "That's about all I can show you. I don't know much about which gun's which. I prefer the Desert Eagle here."

The two re-showed the rest of us how to reload the guns, where the best place to keep a first aid kit and ammo, and how to not lose control of the guns. Once they were pleased enough that they wouldn't get killed by a gun, we were outside.

"Should we use the van?" I asked, and everyone just looked at me with a nod. "Oh right, we're going to get clothes. I gotta get my coat from my car...maybe I'll take it back here."

... ... ...

We drove to town, which was awkwardly cramped, since everyone was squished in the van and standing with guns. I just hoped no one accidently fired one. We stopped in front of the clothing store. It was really weird, not seeing any zombies; a morning blessing. "Okay...does anyone know how to successfully pick locks?"

Leo just looked at me lopsidedly. Nick walked up to the door, inspecting it. He dug in his pocket and pulled out a thin metal rod and stuck it in the lock. After clicking it around for a minute, the door clicked open.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" I sighed, looking at the guy in a half suit. "Oh, right, here you go! Don't need it anymore, thanks though. Go crazy everyone!"

Everyone ran into the small store, collecting anything of interest. I was quite content with a few pairs of undergarments, skinny jeans, heavy metal band tees and a few leather jackets. I went crazy on boots and converse, though. Before long, the bed area on the camper was stock full of clothes. Three of us changed into clothes that weren't dresses. I felt much better in pants and a shirt that didn't leave so much of me exposed. Next were Nick's suits. He did choose some jeans and shirts from the store, though.

"Iron Maiden! Good thing you Canadians know a thing or two about music." Ellis smiled as he slipped into an Iron Maiden shirt with a big smile.

Once everyone was changed into comfortable clothes that weren't grimy, we made our way to Vanna's Boutique. Nick picked the lock there too, but there was a setback, an alarm went off. "Shit."

"Okay, here we go." I sighed as I lifted my katana into a ready position. We waited for a minute, and put our guard down a second before we heard the unearthly howls of a horde. "Holy shit!"

"Goddamn, it's getting good!" Nick yelled over the oncoming horde, lifting his gun up and deftly clearing away some zombies ahead of me that I didn't even get to approach.

"DIE!" Bandit screamed as she ran into the middle of the horde, swinging away with the gun and shooting. Everyone else was relatively quiet as we cleared the way into the store. The alarm stopped after ten gruelling minutes of covering our new clothes in grime and blood.

"Oh great." Jude sighed as she looked down at her clothes. "Oh well, lots more clothes where that came from. Hurry up Nick, I wanna go back now."

"I don't know now...none of these really suit me." Nick looked hesitantly at the rack of suits that looked perfectly fine in my opinion.

"Oh come on, woman! We didn't come here for you to say you won't look good in them." I jabbed at the gambler, annoyed that my new clothes were already disgusting to wear because he 'needed' a new suit. "If I say you'll look good in them, will that make you hurry?"

"Oh shut up." Nick just rolled his eyes as he looked through the suits of black, navy and white. Grabbing two of each and different dress shirts, he was careful to make sure they were color coordinated. "Decent enough, for this crappy little town."

"Okay let's go!" Kay proclaimed, smiling under the dark blood smeared on her face. We ran to the semi-safety of the van and drove away.


I drove to the corner of the street where my car was parked. I was glad to see the navy trunk from where I stopped the van. "Anyone else wanna drive back?"

"OH! Can I drive?" Ellis and Kay asked at the same time. They looked at each other, and without a word, proceeded to play rock-paper-scissors. With Kay as the victor, she quickly took my seat as she stuck her tongue out at Ellis' pouting face. I hopped out of the van, with Bandit, Jude and Ro following me. "See you at home!"

We waved as they left. There was maybe ten or so infected wandering around my car. But we got there without a scratch on ourselves and the car. I almost hugged my car, but hopped in instead. I started the car up, and that's when I heard a Tanks roar. "Shit! Getting out of here!"

"Holy SHIT! Go, go, go!" Bandit yelled as she saw the behemoth race towards the car, but it quickly left the view as Jude stood out of the sun roof my car had and chucked a bile bomb at it. Thousands of zombies raced out of the darkness of the woods, almost instantly, to beat on the bigger zombie. "Dude!"

We were out of there faster than you could read this sentence. Okay, yeah, that's an over exaggeration, but we were gone. We parked hastily in front of the school to see the others rushing the clothes inside. I checked my watch that I left on the driving wheel. We only took an hour. Now what?

Everyone went back to sleep, since there wasn't much to do. But we all woke up not too long after. I had the futon to myself, since Nick had taken a mat before Jude could say anything about him depleting her bed stack. I remembered what Leo was talking about the night before, and I wanted to know more. So as soon as he woke up, I half ran over to talk to him.

"So, Leo, what were you talking about last night?" I asked. He looked at me with a look of confusion. "Do you even remember?"

He shook his head.

"You were talking about the Illuminati and New World Order." I spoke a little slowly, gauging how he reacted. He looked a little surprised if anything.

"Oh yeah...I think..." Leo just shrugged. "I guess I let out the secret too early. I'm pretty sure it was the government and the Illuminati behind all of this. I mean, they've had knowledge about the Green Flu for three years now and didn't do anything to stop it. One thing's for sure, they've set up safe zones in Ontario."

"Are. You. Serious... Ontario? How the hell are we supposed to get there?" I just looked at the nerdy guy who looked down at his feet. "Oh...wait...you mean we don't?"

"I didn't say that. I just know that the safe zones are government regulated and really tricky to pinpoint where they are. We have two choices basically. Stay here and wait to die, or hold out as long as possible here and then leave towards Ontario." Leo just lowered his head a little.

"Then what?" I asked.

"Hope they let us in their towns." Leo didn't get into any further detail, which bothered me.

"Well, we can't do anything about the whole Illuminati thing? I mean, you're the dork here, you can figure something out, right?" I asked, a little freaked at the reality of our situation. Stay and die or leave to die somewhere else in the country, hoping we'll make it somewhere safe. That sounded awfully familiar to a particular game.

"Well, yes. That's what I've been doing these past days. I just need more time. I can let you know whenever I think I have something." Leo smiled slightly as I nodded.

"Do I tell them?" I asked, gesturing at the group that were playing a round of Go Fish and laughing now and then. Leo shook his head, and I understood. "Yeah...let's not wreck their oddly placed happiness for the time being. So how much time do you figure?"

"My estimation would be two to three weeks. I mean, we're talking about New World Order. I gotta find some loopholes in getting in. I'll...do something to figure out how to differ a carrier from immune people." Leo sighed, it looked like he was used of the challenge, but he looked tired.

"How long have you been on this?" I asked, noticing how tired Leo looked for however old he was. He couldn't be older than me, even though he was a lot taller.

"A week or so now. Besides last night, pretty much non-stop." Leo smiled tiredly, "I'll talk about it more when I know more. I think I'll tell the group soon though. I mean, they have to know sooner or later."


It was dark out and I wanted to see the stars. I wandered out of the room, holding the katana and two pistols tucked into my newly acquired studded belt. Ellis noticed I left the room and poked his head out of the door.

"Hey, Rikki? Where ya goin'?" He inquired. I looked at him and pointed up.

"I wanna look at some stars...I'm tired of staying in all the time. Wanna come?" I offered at the smiling guy who nodded, he turned back and told the group.

"Hey guys! Me 'n' Rikki are gonna go look at sum stars, anyone wanna come?" Ellis called over to the rest of the group. Inevitably, Kay, Jude and Bandit could be heard agreeing, the four of them were becoming inseparable. "Okay, bring sum guns just in case."

... ... ...

"Holy shit, I've missed the night sky." I sighed as I looked up to see stars scattered across the sky above like a big piece of glittery black velvet. I heard the other girls sigh and take a deep breath. I loved autumn nights, and the darkness of the world around the school was both exhilarating because we could see ALL the stars, something that was never really possible unless you were camping or during a power outage, it was also creepy, since there was always a chance something could happen up here. I placed the katana down and sat there, and pulled my knees close, never once looking away from the sky. I felt the other four sitting close by, just talking.

"I don't think the others were too happy we left." Ellis frowned, "Somethin' about 'could be dangerous or all that."

"Pffft, who're they kidding? You're Ellis the Badass Zombie Killin' Machine!" Kay proclaimed, smiling broadly at Ellis while absently gazing at the sky. Ellis grinned back, and looked up too. "You're right, Rikki. It is nice to look at the night sky again."

"Yeah Elle, I mean not everyone can fight zombies across a country and make it anywhere." Jude looked awed at the mere thought. "I mean, I feel lucky to be alive right now, and we're still in town!"

"So Ellis, where exactly in Georgia are you from?" I asked, feeling awkward that the four were always talking and I was always quiet.

"Savannah, Georgia. Born 'n' raised!" Ellis looked over with his never faltering smile. "So what was with that Nick thing this morning?"

"Oh, that...I just kind of woke up and he was there." I looked at the others, and noticed Ellis and Kay look away with a badly hidden smile. "You know, it's weird, I remember pretty much everything of what I did. I know that I passed out on my own."

I heard a small, suppressed giggle from Kay, supported by Ellis.

"I knew it." I just shook my head as the two burst into a fit of laughter.

"It was too good to pass up, dude!" Kay smiled at me, "Besides, it was sooo cute!"

"Like the two of you dancing? And Ellis being TOTALLY disappointed that you're ten years younger?" I countered, looking at a rather embarrassed Kay. "That's okay though, I mean if it's okay for Nick to like me somehow, then it's okay for the two of you to get it over with and fuck, okay? Okay."

"Shut up, Rikki." Kay frowned in embarrassment, along with Ellis looking down at his feet. "You're an ass like Nick, you know that?"

"Hey, I'm not an ass." I frowned a little, being compared to Nick. "I have feelings."

"FOR NICK! Oh!" Ellis spurt in and I looked him, a little more annoyed than I would've liked to. "Hey, you walked into it."

"See, see? You have that same look thing he does." Jude pointed at my face while Bandit and Kay giggled and Ellis nodded in agreement.

"Oh shut up." I gave up while remembering why I didn't speak up much, and put my chin on my arms as I continued to look at the sky. "Y'all love me anyways, you jerks."

"Now that's true." Bandit smiled at me. "I mean, if it weren't for you, I think the three of us would be dead or at a loss of what to do then die."

"Not true. You and Kay are like...pros at Black Ops. Face it. We were ready for this since day one." I spoke the truth, everyday, whether we were joking or not, the four of us would be gaming on anything zombie related, ready for the supposedly impossible day of a zombie apocalypse. The other three just nodded with a small grin. "Just sucks that we couldn't save everyone..."

"Yeah..." Bandit sighed, "I think I've had enough fresh air. I wanna go...um...do something. Dunno what."

"Okay, see you inside then." I replied softly, I wasn't sure if she was okay. Jude and Kay followed at her footsteps. I looked at Ellis a little questioningly. "You're not going inside? Aren't you like, joined at the hips with them?"

"Aren't you?" Ellis smiled a little at me, fiddling with his pistols absently.

"Touché, Elle." I smiled back, and returned my stare upwards. It was beginning to be a little chilly, but nothing compared to the winter that was a short few weeks away. The weather was strange here, it would be fall one day, but then blazing hot, like summer won't go anywhere without a fight.

"Well, y'know I would go inside, but it ain't right to leave a lady on her own in the dark." Ellis slouched against the cold, steel wall of the stairway and looked upwards. "Sure is pretty out here, I'll admit."

"Getting used of Canada, I see." I smiled a little at Ellis, who just shrugged. "It's not that bad here, and I haven't been out of Canada, so I can't judge the US like I can with the people. I mean, have you ever been to Canada until now?"

"'Fraid not. Up until two years ago, I ain't never been outta Georgia." Ellis kept his stare on the sky, with a look of hidden amazement. "Shame too, I mean, I really wish I did more travelling before this whole deal."

"Yeah..." We sat there in a peaceful quiet of thought, but a collection of howling and moaning approaching was inevitably bound to break the silence. Nails scraping the steel wall could be heard, and up until then, I forgot about the possibility of zombies climbing walls with no grip. In a split second, Ellis pulled me up and dragged me in the building. "Well, best be getting back, huh?"

"Yeeup, before them zombies come and 'eat our brains'." Ellis air quoted and smiled a little too happily for someone in the middle of the end of the world. We closed the metal door and rushed down the stairs as he continued to speak. "Hey, maybe that's what we could do...I mean, I do sort've miss those silly zombie movies."


A/N: YAY! I'm not really going anywhere just yet because I wanna focus on what the survivors do and how they interact with one another. Also to have some foresight on what the plans are and such. :) Don't forget, I'm a take a break from writing, but I have the outline already planned so it won't take me too long to get going again during Christmas Break.

R&R! :D
