He could hear voices. All differen't but all saying the same thing. Slowly he opened his eyes. Pain struck all over his body and his sight was blurry.
"He's awake! NICK'S AWAKE!" He heard Zoey yell
"Rochelle isn't...neither is the kid." Francis said somewhere near him. Nick felt worried now.
"Where's Louis? LOUIS!" Josh screamed.
Nick just sat there, not moving. His eyes felt like they were getting heavy and heavy until they finally shut...
x.x.x.x
When he woke up again he was surprised to see they were in another car. A bus infact...
He looked beside him to see Rochelle staring blankly at the back of the mans seat who sat infront of her. Blood was dried onto the side of her face and she looked rather depressed.
"Rochelle?" He asked. She didn't even glance at him. He tried again
"Ro...where are we?"
Slowly Rochelle looked straight at him. She looked really pissed off. There was a couple of scratches that covered her face and a big bruise on her left eye.
"What happened to you?" He asked
"You're what happened to me!" She screamed
"Hey Miss! Would you mind bein' quiet?" Someone shouted from the back of the bus
Rochelle lowered her voice "This is all because of you Nick, we are being taken somewhere we don't even know. We are on this bus with the Milatary and we're probably gonna get killed. Considering the fact half these people are turning into zombies."
Nick sighed "Ro we might be getting evacuated. Which is a good thing. Thats what we came here for right? To be saved eventually."
Rochelle glared at him "They're bombing this goddamn city Nick. We aren't headin' out of it either...we're headin' deeper into it."
Nick's eyes widened "What? Why the hell did you get on this stupid bus for then?"
"Because Nick they told us to get on or they'd kill us there and then."
"If they thought we were infected why didn't they just leave us!"
"You don't get it! They're probably gonna run tests on us before they kill us! We are their puppets now. And it's all your fault for crashing the damn ambulance."
"You think it's my fault? Rochelle all I've ever tried to do was get us out of this alive. That's all I ever wanted. I have tried my fucking best to keep us alive since Coach died. But you, you don't realize that. You just think I'm some heartless bastard who's tryin' to get us killed. Well you thought wrong. I'm fighting until the end Rochelle. Wheather I die in the process or not." He unbuckled his seat belt and stood up
"Where's the group?" He asked a dumbfounded Rochelle
"Oh uh...behind us."
he looked behind to see everyone's dull faces
"Don't worry guys I'm gettin' us outta here." He whispered. They all just shrugged. He looked down at Mia who was sleeping beside Ellis
"Keep her safe Ellis. If I don't come back you guys smash the goddamn window and make a break for it. If I do, well you'll see."
He moved out of the seat he was sitting in and began walking down to the front of the bus. He didn't get too far when he was stopped by a guard
"Please return to your seat sir." The guard told him. Nick glanced down at the mans gun then back up to his face. He was a small ginger nervous wreck who was staring at Nick looking terrified.
'this is going to be easier then I thought...' He smirked
"Listen I will slit your fucking throat if you don't stop this goddamn coach and let me and my," He glanced behind him and hesitated "family get some fucking fresh air. And if you say a mother fucking word to any of your friends I swear I'll kill you and your family."
The man shakily pointed his gun at Nick "Sir sit down and stop threatning me."
Nick laughed "What you gonna do? Kill me? I'd like to see your scrawny ass try. Now stop this fucking bus."
Suddenly there was another guard standing in between the two pointing a gun at Nick's head ". Or I'll kill you" He warned him
Nick looked at the gun "Do that." he snarled. The guard was about to pull the trigger when the bus suddenly hit something. Nick and the two guards were flung forwards.
"Shit we're losing control!" The driver yelled "There's a pink thing in the middle of the goddamn road! Shit shit shit! It's a bigass zombie. Oh no!"
It was a tank. It came running up to the coach and smashed the window and yanked the driver out. Suddenly there was a yelp of pain and a ferocious roar from the tank. Everyone was screaming and trying to get out when suddenly the tank threw one of its huge fists into the side of the bus, sending it tumbling along the road. People tried to grab onto their seats but still they were tossed all over the place.
Terrifield screams pierced the air as the tank pounded into the bus. Nick felt pain all over his body again. The bus was picked up and threw, landing upside down on the road. That made the pain worse. He looked over to where his friends were seated to see them all paniking like everyone else. He couldn't bring himself to stand up. His legs just didn't have the energy.
everyone lay on the ceiling of the coach, not daring to move. They thought that maybe if they kept still and not made a noise the tank would leave. Well, half of them were dead now anyways.
The tanks heavy footsteps were heard running away from the coach. Yep, it had worked. It's growling and roaring dissapeared into the night.
Francis got to his feet "Is everyone in MY group okay?" He asked
"Yeah." Everyone replied. Rochelle got to her feet and dusted herself off. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted Nick, lying limp on the ceiling next to the dead ginger guard.
"Nicolas!" She shouted and made her way over all the dead bodies and over to him.
She kneeled beside him and shook him "Nick! Niiiiick!"
"Oh god...feels like I have a freakin' hangover." He groaned as he got himself up. She smiled
"Well we're all okay...can we go now?" She asked with a smile
"Sure but we're going to have to climb outta here...there is no way we're gettin' out that door."
"Then how do you suppose we get out?"
"Climb out the smashed windows." He winked at her and attempted to climb out. Eventually after a couple of fails he got out.
"Alright someone help Mia out and then get your asses out."
Francis helped the little girl out and then got himself out. After a while Zoey, Ellis, Louis and Josh were all out.
"Come on Rochelle." Josh shouted. Rochelle was too busy looking around at all the helpless people lying in the destruction.
"You're all going to be alright...when I get outta here I am gonna tell CEDA where you all are." She knew they were all hopeless. They were dying and all she did was ignore them and get herself out of the window.
As they walked away from the bus she wondered how they were alive, but those people weren't...
