ERIC'S POV:
I stood shocked at Benji's fingers caught in the trap. He tried pulling, but with no avail. Then he turned to me.
"WHAT THE HELL MAN?!" Benji yelled.
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE A LURKER!"
"WHEN YOU HEAR RUNNING, DO YOU THINK ITS A LURKER?"
"I DIDNT HEAR ANY RUNNING!"
"MAYBE ITS THE LURKERS THAT YOURE NOT FIGHTING MAKING YOU DEAF!"
"SHUT UP AND LET ME GET YOU OUT!" I yelled. I looked at Benji fingers. They were close to coming off, but I had nothing sharp. Then I thought of a idea.
"I need you to lay down!" I said. Benji laid down on his stomach. I walked to the bear trap.
"I'm sorry, but this will hurt." I said as I raised my foot up.
"Oh god..." Benji said as I thrust my foot down.
GARRETT'S POV:
I sat in my room holding my legs, shivering over the brutality of the attack. In my mind, I pictured all the people killed in the attack.
First I saw was Saul, who I got on good terms with, trapped under a shelf as lurkers ripped into him.
Then I saw Yvette, who was nice enough, fall from a balcony and die on impact, at least she won't turn.
A lot more died, and I felt I had myself to blame.
Carver was right.
I am useless.
Which is why I'm going on the run on Saturday.
KIRBY'S POV:
Heather and Paige looked around my room curiously. While they were distracted, I hid some papers underneath my desk. They didn't seem to notice however.
"What's with these notes?" I heard Paige ask. I tensed up and turned towards her.
"What's a 'daft booger'?" Heather asked.
"It's a supernatural creature." I quickly said. I hated lying, but I can't let anyone know.
"These look like those things attacking now." Heather said.
"It's probably a coincidence." I said.
"Are you sure, can you tell a story about it?" Paige asked. I scratched my cheek and sat on my bed.
"Ok, I'll tell you."
Paige and Heather sat on the bed curiously. I scratched my scalp and began.
"A daft booger is a highly intellectual creature that can move at high speeds. It is very persistent in hunting, so you better keep away."
"How do we avoid it?" Heather asked.
"Their skin is like armor, a measly bullet won't take them down, but a high power weapon such as a shotgun will keep them at bay. But not for long, so I recommend using fire."
"But what if we don't have any of that?" Paige asked.
"You stand very still, their eyesight is based on movement."
"I thought you said they were smart." Heather pointed out.
"I never said they were geniuses." I said.
"So it's like Jurassic Park?" Sara asked.
"What? I've never seen that."
"The T-Rex hunts by movement."
"Oh, then I guess so."
I got off the bed and began some sketching on a white piece of paper. I used a book next to me as reference. I looked over at Heather and Sara, who were busy chatting each other up.
"I once heard a story about a failed robbery." Heather said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"What happened?"
"Ok, so this guy was robbing a bank and when the money was on the counter, the guy accidentally put his gun on the counter."
Sara began to splutter into laughter as I managed to crack a small smile.
"The accountant grabbed it and the guy ran off."
Ok, now I think I'm sure about this place.
HALEY'S POV:
I struggled wildly as the strange man just laughed at me.
"Little lady, if you stop struggling, I'll make it worth your while." The man said with a perverted tone. I began to scream like hell when the man started to unbuckle himself.
Then I felt blood on my face.
I looked to the side and saw the man's decapitated head next to me and above was Benji with Eric following closely behind.
"You alright?" Benji asked. I looked at his hand and saw two of his fingers were gone.
"Your fingers!"
"It's ok, we gotta move to the roof!" Eric said. I got up and ran with Benji and Eric to the barricades where numerous people were taking on the lurkers. I saw Vera battling a few lurkers while Tyler, Lowell, and Tisha were firing at the horde.
"I gotta find the kids!" Eric yelled. Benji turned to stop him but Eric was pushing his way through the horde.
"Eric, come back!" Benji yelled. Eric didn't listen and kept running his way through.
"Benji, we need to move!" I yelled. Benji looked at me with uncertainty, but then nodded.
QUINN'S POV:
I led the little boy through the hallways of the store, looking for my place. He clutched my hand as if his life depended on it and his knuckles were turning white. I turned the corner and saw numerous lurkers coming at us. I dragged the boy away as I shot a few of them with my pistol.
"Where's my sister?"The boy asked. I looked at him quickly, shot more lurkers, then answered.
"I have no clue, but I'm sure she's ok."
"She will be." The boy said with confidence. I saw two people fighting the lurkers. I recognized the man as Adrian, who swung at the lurkers with an axe. The girl was known as Emily, who I've spoken with a few times, but never got to know her. She shot at lurkers with a pistol.
I rushed over with the kid to them and tapped Adrian on the shoulder. He swung around with the axe and I barely ducked.
"Christ, don't sneak up on me man!" Adrian almost yelled. Emily ran over.
"Anyone bit?" Emily asked. I rolled up my sleeves and pant legs and then I did the same to the kid. No bites on either on us.
"Hey! Over there!" Emily yelled. I looked over and saw Lex just standing there with a shocked expression.
I wonder what it was...
LEX'S POV:
I realized I couldn't stay in this room much longer. I couldn't when people were dying and I wasn't doing anything. I slowly creaked the door open, looking left and right to check, and when the coast was clear, I walked out and quietly shut the door.
I crouched and slowly made my way down the stairs, making sure to not bring any attention to myself. I eventually reached the bottom where I wasted no time bolting towards the carnage.
When I got close enough to the carnage, I realized I didn't have a weapon. I frantically searched around until I noticed a crossbow and a small revolver. I picked both up and examined them.
I had no experience with a crossbow, but after a bit of looking, I might have found out how it worked.
The revolver I knew how to use but I hated using one because of the recoil. Like I said, I'm kinda weak and the only reason they keep me around is because my brother is in the military and they think he taught me. In reality, he never taught me because I was too busy with games.
So what should I use?
[USE REVOLVER]
[USE CROSSBOW]
So, I'm very sorry over the long wait for this, I was super busy.
Mkay?
