BUTTER'S P.O.V

Oh Hamburgers! I really didn't think this decision through. Why did I decide to come back out here!? I know why… I did it for Kenny. If I don't go back for him then I won't be able to shake this feeling of guilt. The guilt of just driving off and leaving him would have eaten me alive if I hadn't assisted Kyle in finding them. Oh god I hope you're ok Ken. You and Stan have better have hid or I might just go full on Professor Chaos on you. The dead aren't crowding the streets much which is strange considering the fact it's night time. WHAT IF THEY FOUND KENNY AND STAN AND ARE NOW EATING THEM! No! No Butters, that's crazy. If I just freak myself out then I'm not gonna be of any help. I'm sure they're fine; my mind is just being cruel and playing tricks on me.

The car passes by a puddle of blood. In the centre of it is what looks like Leslie's headband. If that's here and she's not then that means… oh jeez, Leslie's one of them now. God bless her innocent soul, now forced to wander the earth. Kyle rounds the corner and Photo Dojo and an abandoned car come into view. Wait… ABANDONED CAR! We park next to it and prepare ourselves for what could be out there.

We checked the car but found no trace of either of them. What we did find made me sick to my stomach, a swatch of orange fabric one end soaked in blood. "K-Ken-ny" I whisper, my eyes beginning to water.

"I'm sure he's ok Butters… we can't give up hope because of a scrap of clothing." Kyle says as he puts his hand on my shoulder. "Come on… we haven't finished looking" We hear a crash resonate from inside the now derelict abortion clinic. Kyle gives the signal and we head over to it, guns at the ready just in case. Creaking the door open slightly we peer inside the dimly lit reception. Kyle puts his gun down and takes out his dagger. Slowly he approaches the zombie inside. He stabs the poor woman in the head and backs away. We leave the clinic almost as silently as we had approached. We still needed to find our friends.

"Kyle… what about the walkie talkie?" I suggest as I remove it from my pocket

"Brilliant idea. Go ahead" He praises as he keeps a look out for more of the dead who could be lurking anywhere.

I press the button on the side and hold the small box up to my lips "Stan? Kenny? Do you hear me? Over?"

No reply. The longer the wait, the more my heart sank. It wasn't until after about a minute and a half did we get a response. "Copy that Butters… I hear you. Over" came Stan's voice. Kyle visibly relaxed after hearing Stan's voice.

"Is Kenny with you? Over" I ask frantically

"He's ok dude… but his arm has a pretty deep cut on it." I'm pretty sure all the colour just drained from my face. "We're hiding in the bank. I'll unblock the door… knock twice so I know it's you on the other side. Over and out." Me and Kyle run over to the bank and he instantly knocks the door twice, I can tell he's really anxious to get inside and see his best friend.

As soon as Kyle knocked, the door opened wide enough to let us both through and was shut again straight after we were both inside. Stan and Kyle instantly had each wrapped up in a hug. "You're insane Stan! You could have died!"

"But I didn't. Besides, I knew you'd come back for me" The both blushed at Stan's words but neither one of them made any other move apart from hugging the other person closer.

I ran over to where Kenny was slumped up against a wall, the only sleeve left on his jacket had now been removed and used to wrap up his left arm. There was a hole in the top if it, explaining why we found the piece left in the car. "Kenny" I say as I try and hug him without causing him pain "I'm so glad you're ok" I say "Well, as ok as you can be with a cut arm." I add. He gives me a light chuckle in response.

"I'm ok… I fell over a paving slab and ended up falling onto a piece of glass from the broken window at Photo Dojo. So now I have a deep gash running across it"

Stan and Kyle walked over to us after having their little reunion. "I've managed to clean it and bandage it the best I can for now but we should have Pip look…" Stan's sentence stopped suddenly after he realised what he had said "We should have the girl's first aider look at it when we get back." He continues solemnly. I help Kenny to his feet and we all start to head back to the car. As soon as Kyle's hand reaches the door of the bank, we hear the sound of the dead walking all around the streets… oh hamburgers! We're trapped! Stan carefully glances out of the window. "They're everywhere, even Leslie's there. We're stuck here, probably until morning."

Our leader rushes over to the window "What the hell's Leslie doing there?" He sees the girl in question and instantly realises why. "Oh" She was limping around, eyes clouded white. She was missing an ear and her clothes now stained in blood. "What supplies have we got on us?" Between us we have 4 daggers, 2 guns but only 10 rounds of ammo. And the only food is anything we can find in this building. We're in trouble…

"Great… I guess we're camping out here tonight." Kenny said after a while "You 3 get some sleep, I'll stay on watch." He walks over to the window and sits beside it.

"You sure Ken? I mean what about your arm?" Kyle asks.

"It's only a scratch… nothing major" he shrugs it off. "Don't worry about it. You guys should rest." Stan and Kyle nod, push some of the benches and desks in front of the door and then seat themselves next to each other, against the wall. I take a seat next to Kenny.

"It's ok Butters. I'll protect you guys" I smile in return and my head finds his shoulder but I can't find it in me to sleep.

"I can't. To tell you the truth Ken, I'm worried. Normally we'd have the gate but now we have a door and a desk between us and them." I subconsciously scoot closer to the blonde next me. He puts his non injured arm around my shoulders

"I'm here. Nothing's gonna hurt you Butters. Now come on, you look shattered." I just nod and close my eyes, knowing Kenny will be there for me. Sleep has finally come for me.

Chapter 10 done :) I'm surprised I've got this far tbh. I'm just thankful that you guys enjoy reading this story. Next chapter will be a Creek chapter for anyone wondering. :P
