Jill was debating on whether to leave Claire alone for a moment to go check up on the boys when she heard Claire's scream. She quickly spun around in time to see Claire jump back from the kitchen door as something hit the glass on the door. Curious, she followed Claire's terrified gaze to the glass. Gasping, she took a step back as she watched a nasty, decaying and emotionless face stare at her through the glass with sunken, bloodshot eyes. Choking back her cries of terror, she ran over to Claire and helped her up. "We have to get out of here! NOW!" she exclaimed snapping Claire out of her dazed state. The two girls turned just in time to see Chris run in breathing heavily. "Are you two ok?!" he demanded as he looked Claire up and down checking for signs of any wounds. "Yes...let's just get out of here!" exclaimed Claire. They all turned at the sound of Carlos' cry for help. "C'mon!" exclaimed Chris motioning for the girls to follow.
They arrived in the main diner area in time to see a zombie latch onto a struggling Leon. Carlos was busy dodging two other zombies nearby as the male from the couple lay on the ground nearby crying out in agony. His companion lay motionless in a thick, vermilion puddle of her own blood. Chris grimaced and Claire looked away. "Why? Why is this happening again?" said Jill in a emotionally strained voice, her eyes stinging with tears of fury. "Who could have...?" before she could finish her thought, an explosion sounded outside the diner and everyone just barely jumped out of the way as a flaming truck flew through the windows of the building and slammed into the walls.
Stunned, Claire lay on the ground unmoving. Jill stood, coughing through the smoke and haze. "Claire! Leon! Carlos! Chris!" she looked around frantically before spotting Carlos lying on the ground unmoving. She hurried over to him and helped him up. "Hey...you ok?" she said looking him over. Letting out a chain of coughs, Carlos nodded. "Where is everyone else?" Jill shook her head. They're around here somewhere in this mess. Help me find them…"

He didn't know how he had gotten himself into this trouble. He only knew that his chances of survival were slim to nothing, but he'd have to try. Billy took off running the second he saw the zombies on the stage. He wanted to help the people on the stage, but he knew that it would be a futile attempt since he was unarmed and unprepared. Heading out the door and into the main hall, he stopped dead in his tracks.
"FREEZE!" There in the hall stood a tall, lanky man pointing a gun at him. Billy froze and put his hands up in the air. "Who are you?" demanded the guy, sizing him up with his fierce green eyes.
"Billy...Billy Coen. I'm the guy here to see BoA..." "Don't know ya. Don't go makin' no dumb moves, else I'll hafta shoot ya. What ya doin' runnin' pal?"
Billy, impatient with this rude man, shifted his weight to his right leg. "Look, I'll be real short with you, because chances are, as it is now, neither of us is going to live to see tomorrow. There's some crazy stuff lurking in this city, and if you don't get out of here now, you're not going to make it."
"Whatever. You mind not sellin' me this bull cuz I'm not buyin', bud."
Frustrated, Billy lost his cool. "Look, I'm telling you, let me go and get out of here before it's too late!" "Save it for the cops, bud. Now I'll just have to ask ya to....AHHHH! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" exclaimed David. Billy spun around to see a leech monster slowly making its way toward them. "Shit...get out of my way!" shouted Billy rushing David, knocking him off his feet and dashing down the hall. "H-hey! What is that thing?" yelled David staring in terror as it half slid, half-limped its way toward him...it's leeches spilling all over the ground. "JUST RUN!" yelled Billy.
David scrambled to his feet and pointed the gun at the monster, letting off a few rounds. Unaffected, the monster lashed out, knocking the gun from his hand. Terrified, David let out a scream and took off running in the direction Billy had gone.
Rebecca tensed at the sound of the gunshot and the scream. After a moment's hesitation, she turned and fled for the hall closet. As she hurried, she was unaware of the creature that was creeping nimbly up the ceiling above her. Turning the corner, she spotted the door to the closet and let out a sigh of relief...right as a licker dropped from the ceiling blocking her path.
That's all I've got for now! I'll try to get the next chapter up soon! In the meantime, let me know what you guys think! ^^
