Chapter Three: Wal-Mart, Anyone?
"Just put pressure on it Matt and the bleeding will stop" I said
While driving out of the neighborhood and running over a few more dead people, Matt shoulders were still bleeding.
"It hurts!" he said hissing in pain.
"Oh god, it looks like she left a few of her fake nails in your skin" I said in disgusted
"Kelly didn't have fake nails" Marc said
"She didn't!" Matt shouted
"Don't' worry, we'll get those nails out before you know it" I said
"Will you idiots stop talking about nails we got bigger things to worry about!" Eric shouted as he enters into the city's street.
People were running everywhere, running, screaming and trying to hide from the hungry dead. Buildings were damage and on fire but that wasn't the worst part.
"ERIC, WATCH OUT!" I shouted when a car came out of nowhere.
Eric made a sharp turn to the left causing me to hit my head against the window. The other car skidded before crashing into a small store. Eric stopped the car right in the middle of the street to catch his breath as the store caught on fire.
I rubbed my head as the boys took a deep breath. We jumped when another zombie rammed his entire body into the car. He was missing an arm and part of his neck and made a weird moaning kinda sound as he tried to get inside. Eric drove off in a heart beat down the street. Marc was flipping through the radio hoping to find any news.
The radio was nothing, but static all except for one station, but it kept going off and on.
"More attacks have been reported through the Yuma county area. There are also reports that whatever is happening here has spread to Phoenix, Death Valley and Tucson."
"This is old news, tell us something else" Marc shouted
"This is fucked up, we're driving in circles, where are we supposed to go" Eric shouted
"In other news, the military base told that they have shelters to go to for safety, so get there quick before the base is locked up"
"That's it, we'll drive over to the base" Eric said
"Eric, we're on the other side of town, we'll never make it there in time" I said as he ran over another zombie. This one's head flew past my window.
"Don't worry, we'll make it" he said then took a sharp turn to the right.
"Are you sure it safe on base, I mean it only protect by a gate" Matt asked.
Eric turned his head to stare at my friend "what kinda stupid question is that"
"Like the one I'm asking why aren't you watching the road" I said
He looked and we all screamed when we were heading toward a pile of crashed cars. Eric didn't have time to stop, we skidded and crashed right into the pile.
I moan in pain since I hit my head again and looked to see if the others we're alright. Lucky for Matt and me, we had our seat belts on. Marc was rubbing his neck and Eric was leaning against the steering wheel. The car didn't look that damaged, but the hood was bent a little and that was it.
"I shouldn't had those eight beers last night" Eric moans as he lifted rest his head back a little "is everybody ok"
"Yes, but what about the car" I asked. It was hard to concentrate with a hangover but do to the situation we were in, I'll rub this in his face when we're in a safe place. I looked back to see zombies coming after us and I gulped
"Eric?" I said a bit worried
"I know Bianca, I see them too, but don't worry we're almost at the base." He said, starting the car again "come on, you stupid car"
The car started up despite the damage it was in and as we back up a few pieces fell off the car but Eric ignored it.
"At least try to lose them" Marc said
Eric made a turn into another neighborhood, and sadly it was in bad sharp like ours. Houses were broken, burning or deserted. People running and screaming as zombies tried to attack them. A woman ran to our car and nearly pressed her whole body against the window.
"Help me please!" she cried "help me"
I watched in horror when a zombie came up behind her and bit her in the neck. She screamed and fell down leaving a smeared bloody hand print on the window.
"Eric, let's get out of here" I said
Eric nodded and drives off to another street after another.
"Where are we" Marc asked.
"I don't know, but this is Avenue B and I know this street will take us to the base." he said
Suddenly the car started to slow down and there was steam coming out of the hood.
"What's going on" Matt asked
"The car is breaking down from the crash" I said then noticed something else " or maybe my stupid brother forgot to put gas in the car again"
"Shut up, Bianca, this isn't my fault" my brother shouted
"I do remember correctly that dad told you to fill up the car the other day when you were buying beer!" I shouted
"Will you guys stop shouting, I'm sure the car can make it to the base" Marc said
Fire started coming out of the car's hood and I gave them a cold stare. Eric slammed his fist on the dashboard in frustration.
"Now what, pretty soon the car is going to be full of smoke and we can't leave" Eric said
I looked out the window and spotted something between two large trees and my eyes widened as I smiled.
"Eric keep driving" I said
"What!" they all said
"Drive around the corner and hurry" I said
"Bianca! The stupid car is on fire" Eric shouted
"Just trust me and drive" I said
Eric growled and slowly drove around the corner then his jaw dropped and looked at me.
"You got to be kidding me" he said
We were staring at the big blue building called Wal-Mart and what luck, not a zombie in sight.
"We are not hiding out in Wal-Mart" Eric said
"What other choices do we have" I said "and beside the car won't make it to the base"
"But the doors are lock, how are we going to get in" Marc asked
"People who worked the graveyard shift might be there" I said
"Or maybe Mr. Newman forgot to lock the one of the back doors again" Matt said
"So we have to drive in the back of the store then"
Eric drove as much as he can till the car broke down completely. We were in the back of the store now and just about fifty feet away form the door. I hope it wasn't lock I said to myself. Eric and Mark loaded their guns and Matt was shaking badly. We looked around to see if the coast was clear and it wasn't. Far away in the parking lot a few zombies spotted us and started running.
"Everyone out of the car quickly" Eric said
I took a deep breath and got out of the car and ran toward the door. Being a big person like me, I couldn't run that fast and man those things can move. I nearly screamed when one was just a few feet away when its head blew off. I was grabbed on the shoulders by Marc and he shoved me away from the zombies. I nearly tripped on my own two feet as Matt and I ran to the door as my brother and Marc were holding back the zombies.
Matt grabbed the door handle and pulled as hard as he can. I think the door was steel because it was hard to open it at first.
"It's open, come on!" I shouted
Eric and Marc killed the zombies, but I saw more coming. They pushed me in and tired to close the door. Matt and I helped and shut the door, and second later we heard them slamming against the door, hitting and banging on it. It was pitch black.
"Where are we" I heard Marc asking
"In the cargo room, so be careful, there's boxes everywhere" I said
"Where the light in here" Eric asked, breathing rapidly "I can't see a thin-" all I heard was the sound of him tripping over a few boxes and falling to the floor. Marc started laughing and I was going to join him when Matt grabbed my shoulder.
"Bianca, I think someone is here" he said
I looked around and in the pitch-black room I saw lights from a flashlight beaming from the other side of the room then whoever was holding them turned them off.
"They're in here, Richard!" I heard one of them saying
I heard shots being fired and I pushed Matt down with me to the floor. I hit my side on a corner of a box and hissed in pain.
"What the hell! they're shooting at us" Eric said
"We're not zombies, Stop!" Matt shouted, but I don't think they heard us.
I heard Marc screaming in pain, crashing into a couple a boxes before collapsing to the floor. The shooting stopped and I could've sworn I went deaf for a minute.
"Eric, I think Marc got shot!" I shouted then I was blinded when the lights turned on . . .
Next Chapter: Day One: Bianca and the others meet up with more survivors as they spent the first day in the store of Wal-Mart.
