Chapter Eleven: Lost Of Hope

Matt's POV.

It rained the whole day and I was soaked to the bone. I stood there outside the girl's bathroom with others hearing Jenny screaming, shouting and banging against the door.

"LET ME OUT OF HERE" she screamed liked she was being torture.

It took thirty minutes for Richard, Steven and me to drag her downstairs and in to a safe place for her and us. And since Richard lost most of the keys in the storage room we place a broom through the handle to prevent her from getting out.

"We should've let Bianca kill her when she had the chance" Richard said bitterly

Sky was sitting down in a chair next to him deep in thought or trying to get the fact in her head that what had happened had happened.

"She's just sick" I said looking down at my shirt that had a large blood stain when Jenny stabbed me in my side "very sick"

"I don't give fuck how sick that crazy bitch is, Jason is dead and it all her fault!" Richard shouted "curse those mental people hearing voices in their head"

"Yeah, Jason suffered before he died and we're just going to let that girl live"

"Like Matt said she's just sick, this is my fault, I knew she was taking more of those goddam pills but I didn't stop her"

"I say we should finish off what Bianca started" Richard said

"But you got to admit that it was pretty funny how she just blacked out like that" Steven grinned

"Hey she just lost her only brother and you're just going to stand there and make fun of her for that.

They started snickering so I left the lay way department to go check up on her. I past the white blanket sheet that had Jason's dead body under it. The sheet was already soaking up his blood in four different spots. I felt bad because I hardly knew the guy, Bianca knew him in her freshman's year.

I continue walking and spotted Emily's mom, Donna, crying over the lost of her daughter. How many people did Jenny kill this whole time she was here? The sound of thunder echoes throughout the store then it was all quiet. While the others were grieving over the loss of Jason and Emily, one person I know very well was taking this that hardest of all.

I quietly walked into the electronics, the place that's been my bedroom for nearly a month now and went over to the video games. Meredith was sitting down with her knees to her chest and resting on them. Marc was sitting down next to Bianca's made up bed, stroking her wet hair. I looked at Bianca, she appeared to have lost all her color in her face. She was soak and wet with blood on her face and clothes.

"How is she" I asked

"She just pass out, she should wake up soon" Marc said but I had a feeling he was lying.

A sense of hurt, confusion and anger covered his face "Eric is really dead"

I nodded "he was shot in the head and fell off the roof"

Marc bit his lip and got up "I'll be right back"

As he left, I looked down at Bianca and it only brought back that event that only happened this morning. I was stunned as hell when she tackles Jenny to the floor and tried to kill her. I grabbed her and pulled her away because I had a feeling she too had lost it.

I looked at my arm where she bit me so I would let her go but I held on till she just blacked out. Marc, Meredith and Sandy had to carry her down and put her in bed.

"How long do you think she'll be out" Meredith asked

Even she was pale and depressed from what had happened "I don't know" I said I really don't know.

"Oh" She said then gasped "you're still bleeding"

I looked down at the floor and she was right, large drops of blood gathered next to me. I lifted up my shirt showing the knife wound Jenny inflicted on me. It felt like a paper cut every time I move and made it bleed more.

"I'm fine it's nothing serious" I said

She frowned "wait here I'll get some bandages"

It took a while to stop the bleeding and as soon as Meredith bandaged me up she let out a huge yawn.

"Why don't you get some sleep" I said

Meredith nodded and got up. She and Sandy slept where all the cell phones were at, "good-night Matt, come and get me when Bianca wakes up" she said and left.

I got up and hissed in pain, now I know how Bianca felt when she was complaining about her black eye. I placed a warm thick blanket over Bianca and went to bed, it was almost eight and that when the lights went out. It took me awhile to fall asleep due to the pain.

Marc stood at the edge of the roof with a bottle of beer. The rain was still pouring but he didn't care. He couldn't believe that his friend was gone. The last thing Eric told him was to look for the little girl in the gardening section. Then he noticed something was wrong when a few people were running to the storage room.

He ran over there to find the kid who was one of Bianca's friend name Jason dying from terrible stab wounds. Richard explains what had happened then we all heard Bianca screaming at the top of her lungs and calling the crazy girl a bitch.

That when Meredith was shouting for help because Bianca had fainted. He later found out that Eric was murdered by the girl who killed Jason. He only wish Meredith didn't tell about his death in great detail.

(And now you're just zombie food) he thought as he opened the bottle of beer.

"Rest in peace my friend" he said pouring the beer and watching it fall into the crowd of zombies. "And don't worry I'll watch over Bianca and her friend"

He took a sip to the remaining beer and for once in three years in taste bitter to him.

Jenny spent nearly half the night banging her already busted head against the bathroom door. Leaving a giant blood stain on the door and blood running down from her head. Yet she felt no pain only numbness and empties she had been feeling ever since she was trapped in this damn store.

She sat there with blood soak hair plastered to her face breathing heavily.

Jenny, you fail us) a voice in her head shouted.

"I didn't fail you fellow dead zombies" she whispered

Yes you did!) It shouted (I wanted food, you wanted freedom

"I gave you food"

We are still hungry and if you want your freedom you'll kill them all

"Stop yelling at me, I'm not a failure, I'll kill them all but how" she shouted with tears pouring down her cheek.

Figure it out!

"I SAID STOP YELLING AT ME" she shouted "EVER SINCE I STARTED LISTENING TO YOU ALL YOU DO IS YELL"

She begins to bang her head again and the door "stop it (bang) stop it (bang) STOP IT (bang)"

Jenny fell over and collapsed to the floor. She felt fresh warm blood running down her neck and was getting a little dizzy. Unknowing to her she was dying due to the head injury which was getting worst every time she banged her head.

(I have to kill them all) she thought (but how

She thought about it for a couple of minutes then got an idea.

She grinned

Bianca's POV.

I didn't know how long I blacked out but I woke up and found myself in the store again. I was still wet with a pounding headache and a sore throat. I sat up when the reason I was a mess in the first place came back to me.

(ERIC!) I remembered screaming when he got shot in the head.

My vision in my good eye started to get blurry from the tears I was holding back then I heard someone behind me. I turned around to see a badly bruised Shelly a few feet away from me.

"I heard your brother die by that crazy bitch" she said in a soft gentle, apologetic voice

I stared at her wondering why she was so nice to me now and nodded.

"Ha!" she laughed showing her toothless smiled "Serve you right for beating me up and destroying my beautiful face. And-"

I interrupted her by throwing the teeth I'd saved when I punched out of her mouth, in her face. She looked down at them for a moment then picked them up "freak" she said

"Burn in hell" I hissed at her

Shelly stuck her tongue at me and left. Great now she just made my day worst. I buried my face in my hands and started to cry.

"Bianca?"

I looked up to see Matt holding an extra blanket in his arms. "You're awake, thank god, you scared me there"

I wiped my eyes "how did I scare you" I asked, it was hard to talk, my voice was so sore.

"You went crazy and tried to kill Jenny" He said calmly trying to put on a smile.

"DAMMIT Matt, you would too if you saw your only brother being shot by some psycho when you were just next to him." I shouted at him.

Matt stood there stunned and I know why, the seven years we've been friends I never yelled at him the way I did now.

"I was just right there next to him" I said trying to hold back my tears "I dreamed that scene of him being shot, his blood spraying my face and him falling over to be eaten"

Matt cleared his throat "do you want a bag a chips"

"No"

"Play some video games"

I shook my head "I just want to sit here" I said "by the way how long have I been out"

"All day yesterday" he said

"Oh, how did I get to my bed"

"Meredith, Sandy, and Marc carried you down here" he said

Then it hit me "Wait of minute, what happened to Jason, is he okay"

Matt sighs and lower his head then I knew Jason was dead. A tear fell down my cheek as I pull my legs to my chest and started to shiver due to the fact that I was still wet from the rain. Matt sat down next to me and covered me with the blanket he brought.

"Thanks" I said placing my head on his shoulder.

"Don't forget you still have me, Meredith, Marc and Sandy" Matt said

We stayed that way for a couple of minutes till Matt spoke again "what do you think will happen to us now"

I sense it too that we might not have that much time left in the store. I guess that the feeling you get when you lost someone dear to you. "I don't know" I said (I seriously don't know)

No one had guess that this was their last day in the store...
