Monsters chasing after me

I get no sleep

I'm running but no matter what it gets me nowhere

Something's under my bed

snapping at my leg

I'm frozen

I'm not freaked out.

It creeps and crawls

I can not sleep without a light

What's under my bed?- by The Horrorpops

How long is the night?

Chapter 12

Always look back

The thing was huge.

It stood in the trees spying on the three human beings until it had made the mistake of stepping on a dead tree limb. It stood still as they studied its form.

He was sent here to take out the only human scum that walked around the empty streets. He was strickly told that they were a major threat to the new scociety and must be elimanated as soon as possible.

It jumped up into the trees and appreared behind them yet again. His ears rang in pain when the blonde girl screamed. He extended his arm out really far, and so quickly that Ashley never saw it coming.

Her gun fell to the ground as a grotesqely long arm wrapped around her wrist and pulled her towards the gray creature.

Ashley kicked and screamed. She dug her nails into its already dead flesh. She opened her mouth to bit him but quickly rethought it.

She felt somthing fly narrowly by her face, just missing it. The grip on Ashley's wrist loosened and she looked up to see a gaping hole in the side of its face.

Vivica pointed her gun at the gray creature. Her eyes were filled with hate and vengence.

"You bastard," she said between clenched teeth. "You'll pay for ruining all those people's lives!"

She pointed the gun to its heart once Ashley was out of the way.

"This one's for my brother!"

Vivica pulled the trugger. The creature quickly darted to the side, but didn't go unharmed.

The bullet burst into his left shoulder and went out the other side with a sickening splat. It turned and glared at Vivica.

"Your time will come. And when you turn into one of us, I'll make sure you suffer."

The only reply he got was another round of bullets fired at his head, but he managed to get away. He checked back to make sure they weren't following, then quickly ran to the main base.

"Is it me or does everything get bigger and bigger?" Ashley asked Leon.

"Seems like it."

Vivica put her gun away and began walking deeper into the park. "Suddenly I've lost my appitie," She grumbled.

"Where's the monument you were talking about earlier?" Leon said from behind.

Vivica turned around and waved to Leon and Ashley to follow. They quickly caught and were now standing infront of a greenish-brown monument.

Vivica, Leon, and Ashley all stared down at the words that were carved into the stone.

When all hell is over for the mortal fools, we will be superior

They all sat down and thought about it.

"Think its already begun?" Ashley whispered to Vivica.

"Almost, I haven't seen any of the gray guys since they carved the words in this monument. So we still have some time."

"Time for what?"

"To take back our world. I know the disaster has already spread worldwide, haven't you suspected that?"

"I kindda didn't want to but I can't always think things are going to be okay."

Vivica nodded and looked over the words in the stone. Your time will come and when you turn into one of us, I'll make sure you suffer.

She turned towards Leon. "Think they're planning some kindda revolution?"

"We'll just have to see," he pulled out the red book and flipped through the pages until he found what he was looking for.

"What is it?" Vivica asked

Leon's eyes scanned over the words.

With the plaga, T-virus, and our latest experiments running around, I am now able to make armies out of them. Several parties have been assigned to different areas of this country, and will destroy all human beings that come into view. Once this is done I plan to bring civilization and order back to this world, except in a new form of course. All alive and undead beings will fall into my command and I will rule this world.

"I never read any of this," Vivica said as she read over the written article that Leon had found. She was a bit surprised.

Two pairs of red eyes watched the only survivor of the little town. They were well hidden behind some bushes so no one could see them.

They pulled away from the greenery.

"That's the one, the long haired girl?" A fat gray creature asked.

A skinnier, more slender one looked through the bushes once more. "That's her all right. I wonder who the other two are?"

"The boss said to stay away from them. They're considered dangerous."

The skinny one snorted in disgust. "Humans are nothing but weak mortal beings. I don't see why those two are any different."

"Didn't you see what they did to the other who were supposed to kidnap the blonde girl?"

The skinny one went silent for a moment, remembering the bodies.

"Well," he huffed," I wonder what the boss would want with the young one?"

"He said she's a real good fighter. One of the best survivors."

"But she's only a youth."

"Don't matter to him. He's gotta have some strong ones to hunt down the others, who are fairly tough themselves."

"Stupid mortal fools," the skinny one muttered.

"You still don't believe that she's strong, do you?"

"No."

"Well then," the fat one closed his eyes and began to concentrate on something. Then a third gray creature appeared out of nowhere.

"Where'd you learn that?"

"All captins have the ability to summon whoever they like with their minds, we were created that way." He turned to the third creature and pointed to Vivica. "Go and kill her."

The skinny one dropped his jaw in shock. "What the fuck are you doing idiot! We have to bring her back alive, not dead!"

"Silence." He pointed to Vivica again. "Look."

The third gray creature quickly advanced on Vivica, making sure Leon and Ashley didn't get involved. It began to circle her so she mimmicked his actions. She had her dagger in her right hand and was waiting for it to attack.

The gray creature lunged forward but was met with Vivica's blade. It came in contact with its dead fleash and ripped a giant gash across its chest.

Vivica quickly ran behind it and brought her foot down on the calf of its left leg and smiled when it fell to the ground. She put her dagger away and switched it with her gun.

Vivica placed the gun on its head and pulled the trigger without a second thought.

Its lifeless body lay on the ground, unmoving.

"These things are pathetic."

The skinny one made a noise much like a growl. "Maybe we should kill her."

"Then you just wrote yourself a deathwish. Remember," the fat one hissed, "Anyone who spoils the plan gets slaughtered and I frankly don't care if I have to kill you myself. Don't bring that up again."

They both fell silent and continued to watch Vivica from a safe distance.

Leon looked at Vivica. "What was that all about?"

She put her gun away and glared at the unmoving corpse at her feet. "The whole 'world' is out to get me," she said sarcastically.

They both turned around when they heard Ashley gasp.

"What is it?" Leon asked.

"I just realized that we've been here for a long time, maybe we should head out soon?"

Leon looked at Vivica. "Want to come with us?"

The girl looked down at her feet then back at Leon. "I think I'll stay here for just a bit longer. Some more survivors might come by and I could tell them to go to D.C."

"You sure you'll be alright?"

"I can protect myself. But keep an eye out for me because I'll be following you guys after the food supply runs out."

"Will do."

Vivica started walking towards a line of grocery stores.

"How about that food I was talking about?"

Leon and Ashley followed her. By the time they found her she was going up and down the isles with a shopping cart, throwing this and that in it.

Vivica stopped infront of them. She handed Leon and Ashley all the items she had. "Follow me."

She led them out of the store and into a small music shop. She went ito an office room and pulled two more chairs around the desk that she was sitting on.

"Just throw all of that on here."

All three of them happily munched on their meal of apples, cereal, various bars like oatmeal and stuff, chips, chocolate bars, and water to drink.

Vivica had claimed a bag of chips and was consuming them quickly. She put it down and reached inside the desk. She pulled out a map and laid it out over the desktop. She then pointed to where they were.

"From here to D.C. is about five days on foot, if you're travelling fast. Now if you take a vehicle it'll take you a day or so, garenteed. I've done it before." She stuffed a couple more chips in her mouth. "In the next town my uncle had a used vehicle shop, go and take whatever one you want then hi-tail it outta there. Don't drink any tap water or stream water, it's contaminated."

Vivica finished her chips and stuffed the bag in a tiny garbage can beside the desk. She sat back in her chair and placed her feet up on the desk.

"Keep an eye out for the gray men, there's a base around her somewhere I'm assuming. Just stick to the road and you should be fine."

"Thanks," Leon said.

"No problem. So Leon where do you guys plan on going after you reach the whitehouse?"

"I don't know. We weren't really expecting this when we got back, probably go search for some more survivors."

"Good luck," Vivica grumbled.

"Mmm, mmm. These chocolate bars are soooo good!" Ashley burst out. "These are to die for! I could eat one hundred of these!" She stopped and looked at Leon and Vivica who were looking at her weird. "What? Did I miss something? Sorry I wasn't paying attention."

"Never mind," Leon and Vivica said at the same time.

"Meh." Ashley shrugged her shoulders and continued to shove chocolate in her mouth until she realized the mess that she had made on her face.

"Ah!"

Vivica attempted not to laugh at the look on Ashley's face. She handed her a napkin then turned around and burst out laughing.

Leon couldn't help himself. His shoulders began to shake as he silently laughed.

Ashley stood up and placed her hands on her hips and glared at Leon and Vivica.

"May I ask what's so funny?"

There was chocolate smeared almost all the way to her cheek bones. Her chin was completely covered in chocolate.

Vivica took out another napkin. "Here, I think you'll need some more," she laughed.

Ashley snatched it away and quickly began to whipe everything off. She slumped back down into her seat and crossed her arms with a pout on her face.

Leon stood up this time. He brought out his gun and looked at Vivica.

"Well I guess its time for us to go."

"Yeah."

They exited the music shop and proceeded down the roads until they came to the one heading out of town.

"Guess it's good bye until next time, eh?" Vivica said.

"Thanks for everything. When you decide to leave just come looking for me and Leon."

Leon walked up to Vivica after Ashley had spoken.

"Here, open up you hand." When she did he popped ten full packs of ammo into it. "Take care kid."

"Sure thing."

"Bye Vivica," Ashley and Leon said at the same time as they waved and started walking.

The two creatures submerged from their hideout.
Two figures could be seen sneaking up on Vivica, who was taken by surprise and beaten.

Leon and Ashley turned around and wondered how she could've left so quickly.
