Sorry for the month long absence. No excuses.
Thank you for the follows, faves, and reviews. This chapter takes place a few weeks after the last, and we see Carly and Sam again, as well as someone from Jade's past. We also see, unfortunately, some character death. This time, from the survivors themselves, not people they met on their journey.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious', the characters, just a couple of OCs we'll see here.
No POV
For the past few weeks, Jade's new 'family' have gotten into a rhythm. Early morning, they all wake up and grab a quick bite to eat before heading out. On average, Cat stays behind with Robbie and usually Andre, except on the few occasions where Beck would go and Andre would stay, to do supply runs and rout any infected they come across.
Across town, in what used to be Jade's house before taken over by raiders before they themselves were killed and their supplies taken, sits Jade's ex Bobby, her hair now much longer than when the outbreak started, her back resting against the headboard of Jade's bed. Across from her, on a desk chair and a chair from the dining room, sit Carly and Sam, the two long-time friends staring at Bobby.
"When the hell are we going to get those fuckers who killed my sister and Freddie?" Sam asks, irritated, as she stands up and kicks the dining chair back into Jade's wooden desk. "And why the fuck are we hiding out in her house?" She asks, pulling a handgun out of the holster to her waist and firing a round into the picture of Jade on the wall by her window, putting a hole in the wall and shattering the glass.
"First, we're biding our time. I have something planned, and I'm not rushing it, so calm the fuck down before I put you down." The heartless brunette answers, aiming her own gun at Sam. "Second, don't shoot shit. You waste not only ammo, but alert the fuckers shambling around outside." She says, pulling a second gun out and aiming it at Carly, who was about to pull a gun on Bobby.
"What exactly are we waiting for, then?" Sam asks, sitting down but looking no calmer than when she pulled the trigger.
"A friend. He's planting something at a familiar place and we're waiting until he gives the all clear." Bobby answers, setting her guns down and putting her hair in a ponytail. "Now, while we wait, when was the last time you two went down on each other?" She asks casually, stripping her ratty jeans off, showing her lack of panties.
"None of you business, bitch." Sam answers quickly, glaring at the woman on the bed.
"Good point. Eat me out. I'm horny, you two are hot. Get to it." Bobby orders, aiming her guns at Carly and Sam again, smirking when Carly hesitantly gets off the desk chair and moves over to Bobby, a habit she's gotten used to over the last month when she joined Bobby and was first forced to go down on the slightly older woman at gunpoint.
Trina POV
"Cat, down!" I yell, making Cat duck as she reloads her rifle, a zombie rushing towards her.
"That's the last of them, right?" Tori asks from beside me, checking on Cat as the smaller girl brings her rifle back up to check the distance.
"Looks like it." Cat says, scanning the area, and lowering her rifle. "Why are we all out here, anyway? Why did you tell all of us to come out here for this run?" She asks me, shouldering her rifle.
"I got word from an old friend about a horde nearby and a good amount of ammo supply." I answers, holding up my walkie. "Looks like he was only right about one thing though." I mumble, seeing the lack of ammo in the building we were sent to.
"Who else knows our frequency? We change that every other day." Tori asks as we leave the rundown three story building and head back towards our base.
"Think back to everyone that was with us when we started." I tell her, smirking a bit as we walk home.
"Really? You still talk to him?" Tori shudders, grimacing at the thought.
"Hey, like him or not, he was a great ally and an even better lay." I say casually, shrugging my shoulders.
"Only you would know about that last part." Tori counters, bumping her shoulder into mine. "Besides, how could I like the guy that kept asking for a threesome with a pair of sisters? Especially after he found out I'm as interested in dicks as Cat is mass murder of innocents?" She adds, sighing.
"It was one time, and he stopped when you promised to cut his dick off." I brush off, unaffected.
"You're talking about Ryder, aren't you?" Cat chimes in, shaking her head. "All that guy cared about was getting laid and impressing women to get laid. I don't know why you still talk to him." She says, scanning the area for infected.
"Someone want to fill me in?" Jade asks, walking beside Tori.
"Just Trina's ex who thought with his dick, killed every infected he could to try to impress a woman, and hated pretty much any guy that got close to a woman." Beck chimes in from behind the group, listening to the conversation. "Anyways, you sure this is the location?" He asks me, scanning the area like Cat.
"It's what he said. South main street, behind the old courthouse. There are only two buildings that fit that, and the other was destroyed when some raiders decided to fry some infected and innocents who wouldn't put out." I answers, forcing the memory of those fuckers out of my head.
"Try to get a hold of him. Maybe he got the location wrong." Robbie suggests, walking beside Cat.
"Sure." I say, checking my walkie. "You, Daniels, you there?" I ask into it, not getting a response. "You there Daniels?" I ask multiple times, checking random frequencies. "Dammit." I say, checking the last frequency.
"Kinda busy, Treen. What's up?" Ryder answers, surprising me.
"You sure you had the right building for the ammo supply? We just checked it and there was nothing but infected." I ask, wondering why he switched frequencies.
"Guess someone got to it first." Ryder answers, distracted. "You on your way back to the school?" He asks, making everyone stare at the walkie in confusion.
"Yeah. Should be there in about fifteen. Why?" I ask slowly, not liking his question.
"I'm heading over. Wanted to see about hooking up for old time's sake." Ryder says, sounding somewhat out of breath now.
"I'll let you know when we get there. Why are you so distracted?" I ask, not bothering to humor him anymore.
"Just taking care of something for my sister." Ryder says, ending the conversation.
"Barbie? Why are you helping her? Ryder? Hello?" I ask, not getting a response. "Why the hell would he help his bitch of a sister Barbara?" I ask, looking to Tori.
"No idea. I thought she died when this happened. She was never one for survival." Tori answers, a hint of distaste for Barbara.
"Barbara?" I hear Jade whisper. "You said her last name is Daniels?" She asks, looking at me and Tori.
"Yeah, why?" Tori asks, confused by Jade's eagerness for the girl's identity.
"Because I know that bitch. She's my ex." Jade says, making all of us stop, remembering a quick version of the story Jade told us about how she became a lone survivor.
"Fuck." We all say before running for our base.
"So, I'm not the only one thinking horrible shit, right?" Beck asks, over running us and leading the charge. Within five minutes, the seven of us run to our base, out of breath, before we stop. "Who the hell is that?" He asks, seeing an unknown redhead standing in the doorway.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" Jade yells, hand ready to aim her gun if need be.
"That's not necessary information." The redhead answer back. "Bobby left something for you in the gym though, Jade." She says, smirking at Jade before pulling out a handgun from behind her back and aiming it at Tori.
"Drop it, now!" I yell, aiming my own handgun at her, the others doing the same.
"Boom." Redhead says, laughing as she goes to pull the trigger, laughing as the six of us, Cat just glaring at the redhead, open fire on her.
"Crazy bitch." Andre says, walking over to her corpse, Beck and Robbie behind him. "Suicidal, as well. Gun wasn't loaded." He yells back to us a minute later.
"What was with her saying 'boom'?" Tori asks, staring at the school. "What was Ryder known for using, Trina?" She asks, fear in her voice.
"Explosives. Homemade explosives." I answer, standing still. "RUN!" I yell at the guys, eyes widening.
Before they have a chance to move, multiple explosions going off, destroying the school and anything, anyone, closer than twenty feet past the doors, the rest of us getting knocked back in the explosion.
Anyone see Ryder making an appearance, or any of the twists I've revealed in this chapter?
My original idea for the death of the guys involved a shootout, but I figured that would put the others at risk too, and I have a different plan for them, so I added Ryder, made him Jade's ex's brother, and gave him a penchant for explosives.
Not too out of it, I hope?
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them. I'll answer them to the best of my ability (some parts of this weren't fully planned out, if I'm being honest) next chapter.
Hope you liked it and leave a review.
Blessed Be.
