Chapter 9: To the Police Station
19:05 PM, 9th May 1995
Seth and his group continued their slow procession towards the police station, he was up front with Anita just behind him, Tim was behind them, holding up Sappira who was slumped against him crying. Victoria brought up the rear, supporting Harry, whose injury had gotten worse and the pain now stretched up his entire leg. As they walked Tim glanced at Sappira.
"Sappira, I'm, I'm sorry, but I had to…" He tried to explain, "Marcus was gonna…"
She shook her head and stopped him, "It's okay, I know, he became one of them, those, zombies."
As they walked, keeping their eyes and ears opened, Sappira slowly recovered and was able to walk on her own, although she still stayed close to Tim. She sighed and then, noticing Tim's expression asked.
"Are you okay?" Tim shook his head, "I can't believe he hit you, look what he did."
Sappira pulled out her compact and opened it, noticing the bruise on her cheek, she sighed.
"Well, no point in hiding it anymore," She muttered and then, to Tim's astonishment she reached into her bag and pulled out a wipe, she then removed all her makeup.
Tim gasped when he saw other faded bruises on her face and, most prominently, a black eye.
"Sappira?" he breathed, she shrugged, "These are nothing, you should see the ones on my stomach and legs, my back too."
Tim finally found his voice, "M-Marcus, he…did this," She nodded, "But why, I thought you guys were an inseparable couple?"
Sappira sighed, "We were, until recently, he began abusing me, before you ask why I'll tell you…It's because I kept trying to stop him, you know, from bullying you."
Tim nodded and she continued, "Anyway, he starts yelling, saying that I'm falling for you, and that I belong to him and not you, that's when he started beating me up. He already knew about your crush on me."
Tim blushed, "I'm sorry, I…" Sappira however smiled, "Don't be, it's no longer a crush."
Before Tim could ask what she meant she leaned in and kissed him.
Tim's mind was racing wondering what the hell was going on; it was then that Anita coughed to get their attention.
"While that's all sweet and everything…This isn't really the time guys." She said, they both blushed but walked on with the group.
As they walked Tim leaned in closer to her.
"Did you really mean that, the kiss I mean?" He asked, she nodded, "Yeah, I know you'd never hurt me, especially not the way Marcus did, I've liked for a long time, I just, didn't have the guts to say it…but my feelings just got stronger, thanks to Marcus."
He looked at her confused and she clarified.
"By trying to force me into staying with him, he pushed me more and more towards you," She smiled and pecked his cheek before they continued onwards.
Sadly the sweet moment generated by the two of them was ruined when they heard loud padding footsteps and found themselves confronted by a Hunter duo.
"Way to ruin the atmosphere," Tim quipped as they grabbed their weapons and fired at the Hunters.
The two reptilian monsters were extremely fast however and dodged several shots; one even took a close range shotgun blast from Seth's Spas 12 without flinching.
"We're not getting anywhere here, we're gonna have to run for it!" Anita called out, Seth shook his head, "Gonna be hard with these things tailing our every move."
Anita shook her head and pulled out her grenade launcher, "Flash rounds, we blind 'em then run."
Seth nodded and Anita fired, the Hunters shrieked and clutched their eyes as the group hurried away, desperate to get to the police station.

J sighed as he walked with the others to the police station. He had to endure Katrina's complaints about the cold.
'Should've worn something more than a bikini then,' He thought angrily, Dylan's clothing wasn't much better but he at least wasn't complaining.
Just then he heard footsteps approaching, He warned the others and they turned in the direction they were coming from, readying their weapons.
"Whoa don't shoot." The person called out.
They lowered their weapons and Katrina gasped.
"No way, it's Myles Sylem from Crystal Blast!" She shrieked as the singer walked over to them.
Myles smirked, "I'm guessing you're a fan then pretty girl?" he remarked suavely.
Katrina nodded enthusiastically, J rolled his eyes although he noticed Dylan didn't seem to be annoyed at Katrina's reaction to Myles, presumably because Dylan appeared to be a fan too.
"Say, why don't you come with us?" Katrina said suddenly, Myles laughed and eyed Katrina and Holly, "Sure why not, any excuse to hang out with beautiful girls, even if the situation isn't the best."
So the group introduced themselves to him and began to continue on, Myles then turned to J.
"So, you are…?" J sighed and responded blankly, "J Maxwell, can't remember my real name, all I know is it starts with a J."
Myles nodded and the group continued onwards to the police station.
They group continued to walk through the streets and back alleys when suddenly J stopped.
"Wait a minute guys, I heard something." He said, drawing one of his handguns.
The others stopped and listened and then finally they heard it, a deep growling sound. Before any of them could react Holly suddenly screamed and fell to the ground as a large tongue wrapped around her leg and dragged her back.
"Holly!" Katrina and Dylan screamed, there were several sickening crunches and growls as Holly was torn to shreds by the creature which then looked up at them.
The creature was a red skinned quadruped with a bulging brain, no eyes, sharp claws on all four limbs and an extremely long tongue. Katrina and Dylan stared in dismay at their friends dismembered body. Myles was stunned by the sudden carnage however J kept his cool and drew both shotguns.
"Bring it asshole," He taunted as the beast growled again.
The beast lunged at him but he fired both shotguns right in its face and knocked it backwards. Its face destroyed the beast writhed in agony as he walked up to it and fired both shotguns again, blowing its head to pieces. He reloaded and, still pissed off, spat on the beast's corpse. He turned to the others and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do for her, and there's not time to grieve right now, let's get to the police station, we'll be safe there, you can grieve all you want when we get there."
The others nodded sadly and followed him as he continued to lead the way.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
