Chapter 6

The four friends laid on the lawn of the mansion in exhaustion for about Fifteen minutes when they heard that unmistakeable unholy howl that came from one of those creatures. Blade and James got themselves up off the ground reloaded their weapons and waited patiently for the thing to come out of the door. Three minutes later the thing came out of the door looking very pissed off, it started towards Chris only to meet heavy opposition of shotgun shells and M-4 rounds. Four minutes later the creature still hadn't dropped and James was getting close to having to reload.

" I'm gonna need some help here someone I need a reload!" James yelled.

" I got it, toss it back here we will reload it!" Chris yelled back.

" Alright here it comes!" James yelled while tossing the shotgun backwards and drawing his pistol in one fluid motion.

" WHY WON'T THIS FUCKING THING GO DOWN DAMNIT!" Blade yelled at the top of his lungs.

No more than a minute after he said that did he have to reload as well just tossing the rifle to the side and bringing the magnum up into the fray. While James continued firing wildly towards the thing Blade took his time and placed a well aimed round right between the things eyes, it dropped.

" Is it dead?" James asked cautiously approaching the creature.

" I don't think so. Get your shotgun we will get it when its down." Blade said as he too aproached the creature.

Chris tossed James the shotgun as he walked forward a little bit with his pistol drawn as well. When they reached the thing they noticed that it was still alive but barely that magnum round did a number on it. Blade lowered the magnum again pointed at its skull as did James with the shotgun and Chris with his pistol.

At the same time all three weapons fired James of course making the most of the noise. The creatures brain matter splattered all over the three friends. As they started to wipe the goop off of their faces Layla came running over to see what happened.

"EWWWWW! Thats gross." She squealed

" Well it may be gross but at least it isn't chasing us anymore." Chris said as he finished with the goop in his hair.

" Yeah thats true." She said with a giggle

James and Blade looked at Chris and asked in unison "Who is that?"

"This is Layla I found her in the mansion on one of the floors I was searching." answered Chris

"Oh. What was she doing in the building?" asked Blade

"She says her mom worked their before the zombies got out,and that she was trying to find her but she got lost in the hallways." answered Chris while smiling at Layla

"Well we should get her the fuck out of here." said James

"Where excatly are we gonna take her James? Huh did you think of that." snapped Blade

"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!." yelled James

"Well then why don't we start looking for somplace safe to take her?" Chris said calmly trying to get the other two to stop arguing

"Sure and maybe we can get something to eat." said Blade hopefully

The group of them started off towards the lights that were still shimmering in the distance of the town hoping that everything down there was still good. After about fourty minutes of walking they came to the edge of the woods where the city park began and the wilderness ended.

"Well things don't look to bad at least at this piece of the city." said James as he looked around.

It was true the grass was still green the night birds were chirping a little bit all seemed as if it was normal. The group continued further into the city finally seeing the destruction that the Biological Nightmares had caused. There was overturned veichles on each side of the street some of them were on fire, Stores along the street had broken windows fires in them and even some had bodies stren throughout the store. They had to stop for a second as Layla caught the stench of burning or rotting flesh (they weren't sure which) and she started puking all over the place including Blades boot which in turn made him puke cause he can't stand the site of vomit let alone have it on him.

After the little puking spell the group continued on making their way through corpses and other objects that wouldn't normally be in the middle of the street. They stopped again when they saw a resturant that still had all of its windows in place and weren't broken and there was actually lights on inside of the building.

"You guys think we should go in there it looks safe enough?" asked Blade while motioning to the resturant.

"Yeah lets go in, but be on your gaurd at all times and have your weapons at the ready." said Chris kind of taking command in this sitiuation

The group made their way cautiously into the resturant in hopes of finding someone alive and some food. When they opened the door some of their hopes were crushed as they saw the entire contents of the resturants customers dead, either in their seats face down in food or on the floor with grimaces of pain on their faces. The group made their way through the corpses and into the kitchen where they still had hopes of finding food. It appeared their luck had changed a little bit cause they found a refridgerator that still had food and power so everything was still cold. James started taking out a bunch of food and preparing it for the group since he was planning on going to college to become a chef but it looks like those hopes weren't going to work out cause he might not make it through this ordeal, but he remained somewhat optimistic about his dreams.

About an hour later the food was ready James made quite the meal for everyone and it was good to. The meal consisted of Steak, potatoes, Salad, corn, and some other varied vegetables.

"Wow James this is really good." said Blade with a smile on his face as he finished up his steak.

"Thanks I thought you knew I could cook good." said James with a puzzeled look

"I thought you could just make simple things like cookies or brownies when you had the munchies." said Blade laughing

"Thanks for believeing in my abilities Blade." said James kind of pissed

"No problem James you know I'm always here for moral support." by the time Blade said this he was just about rolling on the floor laughing.

Layla looked at Chris with confusion in her eyes and he just simply smiled and said "Don't even try to understand him, I have worked with him for three years and I still don't understand him sometimes. Like now for instance."

Layla burst out laughing at Chris's remarks. After about ten minutes of laughing their ass off Layla and Blade finally got their composure back. Blade looked around and saw how drained they all looked especially little Layla and decided that they should sleep here. They had warmth cause the ovens were still throwing some heat and they had four walls around them and a door infront of them. Finally Blade convinced them all to at least get some sleep because they could lock the door that way if something tried to get in at least they could hear it bang on the door and would hopefully wake up in time to kill it.

The small group of friends went to sleep with hopes of in the next day they wouldn't find so much death and destruction and that hopefully the could find mor surviors and ammo they were running low after that trip through that mansion they were in. Everyone went to sleep with different views and hopes of what would await them the next day.
