CHAPTER 3 The Whore
The flames licked high into the night sky, the moaning of the creatures could be heard throughout the streets. Car alarms were going off but that was only if the car wasn't upside down or on fire.
From the bed-room window, Sebastian gazed at the carnage, people screaming and dragging their families, trying to escape the so-called 'Riot'.
"We are going to need more batteries" he noted.
"No we'll be fine" replied James
"How many do we have?"
"How many are in the torches?"
"We are going to need more batteries" Sebastian noted again
"They'll be fine! I've had the same batteries in there for the last seven years and they haven't run out yet"
"We are going to need more batteries"
The Streets were worse than Sebastian had thought, dead bodies layered the street, most of them were moving. He shifted the wok uneasily in his hands. James slid in beside him, wearing full Ninja regalia.
"We should head for the gas station across the street" whispered James.
"Why are you wearing that?"
"I must blend into shadow, becoming one with the night"
I think this has affected him more than he's letting on, thought Sebastian
"Are you okay? You seem more… Energetic than usual"
"No time… we must NINJA ON!"
Oh dear… thought Sebastian as James began running and rolling and being as stealthy as possible, well, at least he's on my side…
The first step onto the street was the most unnerving. It wasn't the smell or the sight of the bodies, it was the silence. Not a sound could be heard, except for the occasional bag being rustled by the wind.
And then it happened.
A scream pierced the air
"HELP!"
The sound of running footsteps was coming towards them
"FUCKING HELP ME! PLEASE! SOMEBODY!"
Sebastian and James glanced at each other and they knew they were thinking the same thing, and in an instant they charged into the alley.
James screamed his battle-cry "FLYING NINJA SAVE!" as he tackled the girl out of path of the lurching creature while Sebastian forced his weapon as far into the zombies rotting face as he possibly could causing it to fall backwards minus its head.
"You saved me" said the girl looking up into the eyes of her beholder. Sebastian stared at the pair lying on top of each other in a very compromising position.
"You looked like you needed saving" James mumbled dreamily.
The pair gazed in a daze at each other for a matter of minutes before Sebastian let out a complimentary cough.
Playfully, the girl then said "I'm Ayame Kunoichi, and if you don't get off me, I'm going to have to start charging"
James hurriedly got to his feet "I'm soo sorry!"
"It's alright; I'm used to having guys lie on top of me."
And with a wink she headed off out of the alley.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Shouted Sebastian
"TO THE CHURCH!" Ayame replied
Instead of shouting their conversation Sebastian runs over to her.
"Are you crazy? Do you know how stupid that is?"
"Why is that?" Ayame says with a look of distaste.
"What do you have to walk through to get to the church?"
"I don't know… the graveyard?"
"Exactly, and just what is attacking the city?"
"A throng of living impaired!" proclaimed James
Ayame stares at James with a confused look.
"Sorry?"
"It's James' term for zombies" informed Sebastian
"I like to be PC"
"Well I see your point, where are you guys heading?"
"We are going to head through the Subway and out to Arkley." James replied hastily.
"But first we've got to get some batteries for these damn torches"
"OH! I can help with that! I keep spare batteries just in case the ones in my toys run out." Ayame turns to her handbag and starts to rummage through it, produces a variety of questionable novelty items.
"Um… so, what is it exactly that you do? For a living that is." Sebastian asks curiously.
"I'm a… I suppose you could call me an Entertainer for mature gentlemen!" with a certain amount of effort.
James was kneeling, playing with some of the stuff Ayame had dropped
"What's this for?"
"Me" she replied
"Oh…"
"Ah, here they are!"
"So, you're a prostitute." Inquired Sebastian
"You can keep them if you want."
"No we'll be fine, c'mon James we should get going" Sebastian harshly expelled
Sebastian grabbed James by the collar as he strolled past
"OH OH OH! Did you want to come with us?" James said excitedly
Sebastian glared at James.
"You've got to let her! We can't just leave this defenseless girl here all by herself!"
Ayame put on her best puppy dog face and as sweetly as she could she whispered
"Oh, I'd appreciate it EVER so much…"
Sebastian thought about this and then said
"Fine, as long as you don't get in the way."
