CHAPTER 5
Taking no more precautions Dave got the axe mentioned in the tape from the cellar woodpile and proceeded to dismember the deadite corpse. They then threw the limbs onto the roaring fire. They decided to bury Adam's body outside, near the lake. Ian and Stewart dug a grave using shovels found in the work shed, Chris also took note of the chainsaw hanging from the wall. They made a makeshift cross out of some wood and rope and stuck it at the foot of the grave. With the grizzly task finished the group of five walked slowly back into the house.
They sat silently, Vicky resting her head on Chris' shoulder, crying softly. It was Ian who broke the silence.
'Jesus man! What the fuck are we gonna do!?!'
'Well, I've seen enough horror films to know that there's gonna be more of those things.' Said Chris calmly.
'It…it looked like…a…a zombie!' sobbed Vicky.
'Well it seems that we can kill these fuckers by cutting them up, limb from limb.' Said Dave, wiping the sticky green blood off his axe.
'Wait a minute!' Cried Stewart suddenly, 'Chris, in them undead films don't people killed by zombies turn into zombies themselves?'
'Oh fuck, yeah they do!' Replied Chris, his voice stricken with panic.
They looked out the window, gazing at Adam's grave. Then they noticed a dark shape floating on the lake, only about a foot away from the resting-place.
Dave picked up the axe and waited for Chris to reload his shotgun. Then the two went outside to inspect the mysterious object. They walked cautiously towards the object only to see that it was… Adams corpse!
'We must have buried him to close to the river bank, causing the earth to collapse into the water.' Reasoned Ian after they had all assembled outside.
It was Stewan who was given the task of fishing out the corpse for re-burial. Chris and Vicky walked closely, arm in arm, looking for a place to re-bury their deceased friend.
'Chris, why don't we just call for help?' reasoned Vicky.
'Well the phone in the cabin is broken, I already checked.' He replied drearily.
'Didn't anybody bring their mobile?' she added, in desperation.
'Hey that's right, one of us must have brought their mobile phone with them, quick let's go ask everyone!
With that the two headed back towards the clearing outside the front of the cabin.
'What?!?' Chris was not a happy guy. Adam had brought a phone which had broken during his fight with the creature, and The only other two who'd thought to bring them were Woodsy and Hannah.
'FUCK!! We have to get out of here! Yelled Dave.
'Ok Dave, calm down. We can take my car and head back to the village. Reasoned Chris.
'Well what about Adz?' asked Ian.
'We'll put him in the boot.' Said Chris.
With that they all got in the car, more worried about their lives than the possessions they had left at the cabin.
