Chapter Four: Day One
I closed my eyes tight when the light went on and crawled around a bit because I felt a few things on me. I felt around with my hands and stopped when I bumped into something. I slowly opened my eyes to adjust to the light and saw a large blurry figure. I got my sight back only to see a gun pointing at me. My eyes widened, but the gun was pulled away.
"Dammit, it's only the fat girl and her friend" the tallest boy said
"Nice to see you too, Richard" I said "now can you help me up"
Richard wasn't a friend of mine, he was just some guy I beat up when we were little because he and his friend were picking on Matt. He was tall with short black curly hair and was pretty big. He was two years older then me and from what you can tell by the name he called me we still don't get along.
I was helped up by his friend, Steven, a pale, skinny kid, who was a year older then me. He was Richard's sidekick, who does everything Richard tell him to do. They had the graveyard shift so I wasn't surprised to see them here.
I dust the dirt off my shirt and turned to see if my friends were ok. Matt got up and Eric was trying to get a box off his foot. Then I saw Marc with blood running down his leg.
"Help, I been shot" He said
"Idiots, why were you shooting at us" I shouted at Richard
"We thought you were one of those . . . those . . . things" he said
"How did you guys get in anyway" Steven asked
"The back door" I said "Mr. Newman forgot to lock it again"
Richard sighed and muttered "damn that old man, thanks to him the fat girl and her friends are in"
"Stop calling me that and help us get my friends out of here" I said and I wasn't that fat either.
We exit the storage room at gun point by Richard and Steven. I walked ahead with Matt and Eric helping Marc walk behind me.
"Quit pointing that gun at us" I said
"We're just ready in case you turned into one of those thing" Steven said
"You dumbass, you turn into one if you were bit" Matt said
"Do you have first aid kit around here" Eric asked
"Duh, this is Wal-Mart" Richard said "we sell everything here"
"Is anyone else here" I asked
"Me, Steven, those two girls who work at McDonald's, Sky and Jenny, Jason and Mr. Newman was here, but he went off somewhere" Richard said
We walked up to the front where all the cash registers were and saw everyone there. They looked at me and were shocked
"I guess even the dead couldn't keep you from coming to Wal-Mart, huh Bianca" Sky said
Sky was a friend of mine, she can be a bitch sometimes but she was a still trust worthy person. She was my age who was shorter then me with long brown hair and was fatter then me.
"Ha ha very funny Sky, but we need a first aid kit NOW" I said
"Wait right here" Jason said and ran off to get one.
Eric and Matt place Marc down on the floor, his left leg was covered in blood and was forming a small puddle next to him.
"Dear god, what happened to him" Jenny asked
Jenny was a chubby girl with thick curly hair and buck teeth. She was gripping tight on a bottle which I knew was her medication. That girl is psycho without those pills with a hyper active personality. When she's mad she's mad, when she's laughs she's laughs, right now she was shaking I guess from all that was happening"
"The morons thought we were Zombies and started shooting at us in the storage room" I said
"Oh so you were the ones making all those noise" Sky said
"Hey we had to get in somehow, you wouldn't believe the hell we went through this morning" I said
"By the look of you and your friends, it must have been something" Jenny said
Jason came back with a first aid kit and hand it over to Eric. Jason was another friend of mine, a tall, skinny boy with very bad acne who was the same age as me.
"How did you guys get here, the town is full of these things" Jason asked
"Well after a rude awakening Eric, Marc, Matt and I got into a car and drove around to find a safe place to hide, we were heading to the base but got into an accident. The car broke down near the store and so we ran into the back before the zombies got to us" I explain.
"Which I don't know why, how do we know if it's safe here" Eric said as he was trying to stop the bleeding in Marc's leg. Luckily the bullet just scratched him but there was a lot of blood.
"I mean look, they're all crowding around the doors" he pointed to the glass door.
I looked and he was right, zombies were gathering around the door, trying to get in. They were so disfigured and covered in blood.
"The glass is shatter proof and the lock up tight" Richard said
"Plus, there's food, water, and everything else that will help us out for weeks" Sky said
"Are all the doors lock in this place" Eric asked.
"Yes, they are" Steven said "hey fat girl will you tell your friend to stop asking question"
Eric got up from the floor and walked over to Steven "call my sister "fat girl" again and I'll beat you up so bad that you wish you were out there" he said "and give me that fucken gun, a kid your age shouldn't be using a gun"
Eric swiped the gun away from Steven "a kid, I'm eighteen years old" he shouted
"And I'm twenty-one, so to me you are a kid" Eric said
"Hey don't you talk to my friend that way" Richard said pointing the gun at my brother.
"Richard, what the hell are you doing" Sky shouted
"What did I say before these shitheads came here, I'm in charge of this place"
"Put the gun down!" Jason said
"Everyone stop shouting, your making me sick" Jenny said
"And beside Mr. Newman is in charge here not you" Sky said
"Don't you dare shoot my brother" I shouted
"Guys" Matt said
"Get that gun out of my face Now" Eric said
"Guys!" Matt shouted
"Eric!" Marc shouted
"Marc, will you shut up" Eric said
"But isn't that Mr. Newman" he said
We looked back in the girl's clothing area to see Mr. Newman slowly walking out and looking around. Half his body was covered in blood. While we were looking at him, Eric ran over and punch Richard in the face then grabbed his gun away form him. My brother was strong so I wasn't surprised to see Richard fall to the floor, out cold.
"Bianca, Mr. Newman doesn't look good" Matt said getting up from the floor.
"Mr. Newman are you ok" Jenny shouted
The old man turned his head so hard that we heard it snapping, we all stood there studded, when we saw blood dripping down his chin. He had his eye on the weakest person of all of us. Marc!
"Eric, shoot him" I said
The zombie ran toward Marc who couldn't get up due to the gun shock. Eric fired but the gun only made a clicking sound.
"Idiots use the bullets to shoot us and I'm out as well"
He was getting closer, growling as Marc stood there not knowing what to do. The others ran as far away as they could from the zombie. Then Eric did the unthinkable, he threw the gun right into its head to get his attention.
"Over here Zombie" Eric shouted
"Eric, don't!" I shouted
"Stay here, Bianca and don't move" he said as the zombie was coming toward him.
Then it hit me "Marc didn't you have a gun too" I asked
"Yes but I think I dropped it when I got shot" he said
Eric ran into the clothing area with the Zombie following him. I tried to go after him, but Matt holds me back "let me go, Matt" I shouted but he wouldn't.
"He told you to stay here" he said
Marc tried to get up off the floor but that was just reopening his wound. The others stood right next to the small McDonald. We waited for a few minutes when my brother came back with blood on his clothing. He took a deep breath and waved at us.
"Eric!" I shouted and ran to him. I gave him a hug "you stupid idiot, don't ever do that again" I said
"Hey man, what happened" Marc said
"I found a pair of scissors and stabbed him in the head" he said. Too simple.
Later that night
"Bianca, does he have to be here with us" Sky asked
After the killing of the Mr. Newman zombie, I took Matt into the girl's bathroom to clean up his wounds. I looked in the mirror and I was a mess, my hair was messy and tangle, my face and clothes were covered in blood and sweat.
Matt sat on the sink counter and hold still while I took a pair of tweezers and carefully pulled out some of the nails out of his shoulder.
"Oh shut up, and hand me a napkin" I said as blood ran down Matt's shoulder again.
Jenny handed me a napkin as I pulled out another nail.
"What happened Matt" Sky asked
"Got attack by a zombie" he said "ow"
"Sorry" I said "last one"
"If you were looking for a place to sleep, Jenny and I got the girl's dressing room, Steven dragged Richard to the Magazines section along with Jason." Sky said
"And knowing my brother and Marc, they'll be in the beer aisle, I guess we'll be in the electronics" I said
"Ok, well you know where the pillows and blankets are, good-night" Sky said then headed out of the bathroom.
"You ok Jenny, you look pale" Matt said
"I'm fine, once I wake up from this nightmare I'll be fine" She smiled and walked out of the bathroom "oh by the way, lights out at eight and its going to be pitch black"
Matt and I stared at each other when we heard her laughing.
"That was weird" Matt said as I finished wrapping the bandages around his shoulder.
"All done" I said
"Thanks" he said
"Your welcome, now get out so I can watch up" I said
He nodded and walked out of the bathroom. After washing my face I exit the bathroom to see my brother waiting for me. Marc's leg was bandaged up and he was supporting himself with bats.
"It was all I can find" Marc sighs
"Where are you sleeping at" Eric asked
"Matt and I got the electronics" I said
"Fine lets go" Eric said
"What's wrong with you" I asked
"Nothing I'm still pissed off at those friends of yours" he said as we walked over to the electronics. I found myself blushing again when I helped Marc to walk with us. When we got there, Matt was there, already asleep in a blanket. There was pile of them next to him along with pillows.
"He's tired" I said
"Who isn't" Marc asked
"Lights out, you idiots" We heard Steven's voice on the intercom then the whole store went dark.
"Fucken asshole" I heard Eric said
"Forget him and let gets some sleep" I said
Hours past and I couldn't sleep, I was lying down a few feet from Matt in the video games area while my brother and Marc were sleeping near the CD's. I tossed and turned and still couldn't get comfortable maybe it was the blanket I was lying on was my only cushion on this hard floor or maybe it was the fact that all I can hear are the banging sounds of the dead trying to get in . . .
Chapter Five: Day Two: Bainca and the others are getting adjusted to their new lives in the world of the Dead.
