The thing's neck snapped as Rainbow Dash twisted its head. It falls to the floor with a thud. She looks over to Big Mac as he shoots a thing with his silenced hand gun, "Good job guys," Rarity says behind them. The building they are in use to be the bakery and seemed like the best place to find food.
"Alright let's look around here," Rainbow Dash says to her friends, "But be careful. Mac, give Rarity one of your guns," Big Mac takes out his holstered revolver and hands it to Rarity.
"This is pretty powerful, so be careful with the kick back," Big Mac says as Rarity checks the gun out.
"I got it Macky," Rarity says. She heads towards the stairs up to the second floor.
"Mac let's check this floor," Rainbow Dash starts to look behind the counter.
"I was thinking," Big Mac looks around.
"About?"
"Rarity."
"I see," Rainbow Dash picks up a loaf of bread and puts it into her backpack.
"Yeah, I don't know if I should feel for her like I do," Big Mac sits at a table, "Being married and all."
"Mac," Rainbow Dash, "Che-"
"Don't say her name," Big Mac interrupts Rainbow Dash.
"With her dead, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to like someone."
"I know," he puts his head down, "But there's just too much going on right now. It wouldn't be right."
"How about we take care of the reason we are here in the first place," Rainbow Dash walks over to Big Mac, "And I'll help you with your problems."
"Sounds good," Big Mac gets up and pats her on the back, "I'm gonna check up on Rarity," without a reply he runs upstairs.
"Ok," Rainbow Dash smiles, but her happiness is cut short when she hears a thud from the back room. She readies her hand gun and silently starts to walk towards the back. The back of the bakery is lightly lit when she enters. She puts her hand on the wall looking for a switch of some sort to turn the lights on. She feels a switch and flips it up.
The bright light blinds Rainbow Dash as she hears a growl in front of her. She drops her gun as she is forced against the wall. She struggles to fight off her attacker, but manages to slip away from its grip. She shakes her head and opens her eyes and sees her attacker perfectly. The thing that was once a person looks nothing like it once was.
The thing's face had no skin on it; its mouth is full of blood and has flesh hanging out of it. Rainbow Dash checks herself to make sure it's not hers, it's not. The bones on its fingertips are sticking it out and look chewed on. She braces herself as it lunges at her.
"She flips the thing over her and kicks it as it hits the floor. The thing reaches up for her, but she was quicker and grabs its wrist and stomps the arm off of the thing. The thing howls in pain, and Rainbow Dash takes the arm and, with the bone fingertips down, thrusts it into the thing's head. She catches her breath and takes her backpack off and opens it. She looks at the bread that is now smashed and takes it out. A growl startles her as she looks down at the thing, "Oh no," she says as she is pushed to the ground.
"Fuck!" Rainbow Dash yells as she is helpless on her stomach with a thing on top of her. The thing beats on her back furiously as Rainbow Dash tries to get from under the thing. She starts to lose breathe and her eyes start to close when a gunshot takes the burden off her back.
"Wow," Rainbow Dash hears Rarity, "This is a powerful gun," Rainbow Dash feels a hand on her shoulder and she looks up to the person that it belongs to.
"You ok Dash?" Big Mac says as he fixes Rainbow Dashes hair, but only messes it up more, "Well I tried."
"Don't worry about my hair," Rainbow Dash says as she kicks the thing that was just attacking her.
"Yeah we'll fix it when we get back to the farm," Rarity says with a smile.
"Yeah," Rainbow Dash catches her breathe, "Thanks Rarity," she walks over and hugs Rarity.
"We heard the thuds and ran as fast as we could," Big Mac says.
"You guys find anything upstairs?" she asks them.
"Yeah lots," Rarity takes out some bottles of water and cans of food from her pack.
"And these guns," Big Mac hands Rainbow Dash a shotgun and another handgun, "Still got the bread?"
"No," she admits, "The things crushed it."
"Oh well," Rarity puts the supplies back into her pack, "At least you're alright."
"Yeah. Let's just get out of this god forsaken town and back to the farm," Rainbow Dash says and they pack up and ready their weapons and head for the exit of the bakery.
