The dissembled bodied stumbled towards the group as they fought frantically to get to the wall which stood between them and safely. No-one bothered with counting their kills, they had to much on their plates to worry about out doing one another. Lance has strategically placed himself -with Sophie on his shoulders- behind Alex and Ari, who had seemed to form some kind of tag team. Miki seemed to have had the same idea as she coward behind Seipel who was doing her best to keep the onslaught of creatures at bay with only a hunting knife and an axe. Patrick was in the worst position, due to the baby strapped to his body he was unable to swing his bat with enough force to kill with one blow so he was steadily being surrounded by the creatures.
"PAT!" The cries of Diana caught the creatures attention as she carved a path through for the boy with her cold and heavy gun she picked up. The heavily build boy thanked her silently before they heard it: they blood curdling screams from inside the building. In all the commotion they had completely forgotten about those till inside, those who's fate was sealed the moment one of Them entered the compound.
"Keep Moving!" Martins screams snapped the group back to reality that faced them, but for one the cry came a moment to late.
The cold teeth pressed in to the flesh of the well toned arm as a scream of pain passed her lips. The boom of a gun was shortly followed by the creature falling to the ground releasing the women form its grasp. Sergeant Lee looked down at the deep wound on her arm then to the girl who held the gun. Alex stood in astonishment as the twenty year old raised her gun to her temple and squeezed the trigger. All her memories, goals and dreams gone in that one instant and all Alex could do was stare and force the vacuumed packed food to stay in her stomach.
"ALEX! SNAP OUT OF IT! ALEX!" Alex quickly turned her attention to the voice which called to her through the madness: Ari sat upon the make shift wall hoisting Sabrina and Sophie over the wall.
Her feet began to move with out a glance back at the carnage, before she knew what was what she was panting heavily on the other side of the wall.
"Is everyone ok?" Azure asked as he took a head count . "..Nine." He looked back to the wall listening to the never ending screams. "Mikiā¦" He whispered softly as he felt the warmth of someone's hand brush against his, instinctively he grabbed it intertwining his fingers with theirs.
"Azure." Sabrina looked up at the boy who held her hand oh so tightly, her fibre in her body willed her to embrace the boy to tell him that everything would be just fine but she couldn't find the strength to do it. She couldn't tell him everything would be alright because she truly didn't know and she couldn't bring herself to lie.
"Martin." Seipel knelt down causally next to the exhausted boy, the wound on his leg look agonising. It took all her courage not to cry as she listened to the pleases of those beyond the wall. How could things have trued so shitty so quickly? A few days ago she was worrying about entrance exams now the only thought in her mind is of survival.
"Lets get out of here." Martin some how managed to drag himself off of the ground. " we need to find some where safe to rest."
"but where? Where is safe?" Dina snapped, keeping her head low the soft flow of tears cascaded down her face. "Where can we sleep and not fear that we're going to be ripped apart? Where?"
"The answers my friend is blowin' in the wind , the answer is blowin' in the wind." Alex said calmly as the breeze carried blood splattered Cherry Blossom petals past her eyes. "Shall we." She said with an all to fake smile as they group began wandering aimlessly away from the town to what they hoped was safety.
Sensing the depressed mood Ari decided to do something he vowed not along time ago. "Hey Justin."
Alex looked at the boy and smiled widely "My name isn't Justin."
"Hey, Its Aaron." Ari said calmly as he received the most confused looks from the group.
"That's Great."
"I-I cant come out tonight." Ari twisted his hair between his fingers in an innocent little school girl act.
"What?" Alex faked her not interested look though her smile.
" I'm going to see this girl." Ari pointed toward Azure and winked seductively.
"But I thought you were going to have an orgy."
"No..No..Her name is Candy." The boy slowly slid towards his cousin.
"I don't care what her name is." Alex flicked her hair.
"I gotta go. See ya." Ari weaved himself in front of Azure, who was trying his best to stay out of their song.
"What? Oh Hello No!" The gangsta girl inside Alex took over as she flicked her wrist.
"I know a girl who's tough but sweet." Ari sung as he draped himself over Azure and gently stroked his face.
"More like sour." Alex stuck her tongue out and pretended to gag.
"She's a find you cant be beat." Ari moved onto an ever blushing Patrick and tapped his nose gently as he sung.
"I'll fucking beat her!" Alex cracked her knuckles and briefly shadow boxed in front of the loveable oaf.
"She's got everything that I desire." Ari was now whispering in Martins ear.
"Yeah, well she's missing a few inches" In response Alex flexed her small finger.
"Sets the summer sun on fire." Ari spun Seipel round like a ballerina.
"I'll light her on fire."
" I Want Candy." Ari sung cheerfully to Sophie as she wiggled happily on top of her foster brothers shoulders.
"Eww,"
"I want Candy." He was now singing to a giggling Sabrina.
"I didn't know you like Taco."
"I want Candy." He was now standing in front of Alex singing to her.
"Are you sure its not Randy." She adjusted his head to look at Martin who winked flirtatiously at the boy.
"I want Candy." Ari sung happily as he walked merrily over to Martin with his arms spread out wide.
"I'll kill that bitch."
"Go to see her when the sun goes down."
"You always told me you were going to the bathroom." Alex covered her mouth to seem shocked.
"Aint no finer girl in town."
"Cause she's a Slut!" She retorted happily as Ari draped himself over Martin.
"You're my girl, what the Doctor Ordered." He tapped Seipel happily on the nose.
"I didn't know you could have a skank on prescription,."
" So sweet she makes my mouth water." Ari hobbled over to Azure and pinched his cheeks.
"Cause my cock was in your mouth last night." Azure said reluctantly, it was his only line but God did he hate it.
"I want Cady!"
"Yeah, A candy Penis."
"I want Candy"
"You're going smell like fish."
"I want Candy."
"Bitch, you're not will wonka."
"She's just a loose pusied Hoe!"
The pairs singing ended and the group began laughing uncontrollably, even the emotionless Lance let out a snigger, only Ari and Alex could have seen all of that and still be able to make people smile.
"God what other songs to you know?" Patrick asked as they all regained their compositor.
"How about the High way to Hell?" Azure said emptily as he raised his arm pointing out over the bridge they stood on, they had been travelling for over an hour and they were far from the town.
The group gathered around him and what they saw brought tears to each of their eyes: laid out in front of them really was the High Way to hell. The great road lead to and from the city and was littered with abandoned vehicles. On one side -away from the city- the cars were packed so close to each other that the creatures were walking across the top of the roofs. On the other only a few cars were littered around with a few of the creatures making their way towards the screams of the city.
Diana forced her tears back as she watched the smoke billow from the buildings of the city.
Patrick softly stroked the head of the small baby as he watched a small girl drag her blood splattered doll down the road to the city.
"so much for containing it in our town." Sabrina said quietly as a semi-paralysed man dragged himself along the ground.
I'm sorry that took so long, I am studying from my exams right now so revising it taking priority to everything else. Sadly I cant say writing is revising anymore as I have done my English, so just bare with me. I have an ending in mind and I should be finishing up in the next couple of chapters.
