Hey guys I this is the third chapter, the first one with any real gore in it (YAY!) Please R & R
The Hive
The train pulled in to some kind of small, deserted station and everyone piled onto the platform. Everybody had their guns aimed at the door as Jo cautiously approached it and pressed the button. Nothing happened. Mel approached the lock and began to work at cracking the code and Spam peered through the window. She squinted, trying to make out any odd shapes, but the whole place seemed deserted.
There was a shrill beep and the door swung open. Higgy crept through into the dull light first, followed by everyone else, with Rosie bringing up the rear. As they travelled down the corridor, BJ peered into one of the rooms. Her eyes widened.
"Err…Higgs?"
Higgy jogged back to where BJ was standing, and looked through the window that BJ was looking into. Inside were three things. They looked like they could have been people once, but now they looked dead. They were feasting on what seemed to be another of them.
"Oh my God! They're eating each other!"
"Ewwwww!" Red grimaced "That's gross!"
Higgy gave the things in the room a last look of disgust and turned to the group.
"Come on guys. We betta keep moving"
Suddenly from somewhere behind them there came a scream and shout of "Rosie!!" Higgy raced to the back, closely followed by the others, just in time to see Rosie get pulled into a mass of zombies, screaming hysterically. The zombies bent over her, and her screams were extinguished by the sickening sounds of tearing flesh.
One of the zombies looked up and bared his rotten teeth at the others. Higgy's eyes widened in terror.
"Run for it!"
The rest of them pelted down the corridor and through an open doorway into a room. Spam slammed the door shut once everyone was through. Red looked around. On the other side of the room there was an open door. While everyone else was trying to catch their breath and hold off the zombies, she cautiously approached the room and entered it. Glancing around, she noticed a group of about seven dogs standing 10 feet away from her.
"Ahhh! What cute little doggies?"
They turned to face her, growling. Their mouths had what looked like entrails dripping from them. Suddenly they launched themselves at her. She screamed, "Shit!"
Higgy slammed herself against the door, trying to catch her breath. She looked around the group, counting everyone. When she only counted 13, she frowned and tried again, when it still came up as 13 she began to panic. Who was missing?
"DL, someone's missing."
"Well there's Rosie..."
"No, someone else."
DL looked around and turned back to Higgy, the colour draining from her cheeks as she spoke, "Where's Red?"
"Shit!", They heard the scream ring round the room. Running to the door, they saw Red trying to fight off seven huge dogs. They ran in and began to shoot at them. Red shot one in their head and it fell down dead, "Guys! Shoot them in the heads! It seems to be the only way to kill them!"
"Thanks for the advice!" Higgs shouted. Eventually all the dogs were dead.
"Thank God" DL sighed in relief. Then they heard a crash, the zombies had broken through hand were clawing at the people at the door.
"Guys! Shoot them in the heads!"
Red looked up at the wall, there was a vent there.
"Higgs! Look!"
Higgy looked up and nodded to Red, "Find us a way up there. DL and I will help the others."
Red started to push a table against the wall for people to climb on. She climbed on top of it and began to unscrew the vent.
Higgy and the others were still fighting off the zombies when she finished. "Let's go people!" she called and they began to back away towards the vent. Higgy shoved a table in front of the door before backing away herself. Red began to help everyone up on to the table and into the vent.
When there was just Higgy, DL, Red, Mel and Spam left. Higgy gave Red and Spam a boost up into the vent and then she climbed up herself reaching down for DL.
"Come on DL!"
"What about Mel?"
"She'll be fine, she's the one with long legs remember."
DL nodded and grabbed Higgy's hands and Mel pulled herself up inside, before securing the vent back on and they all started crawling when they came to any opening Max, who was at the front, called back to the others.
"There's a vent here leading down into what seems to be a computer room. There are no zombies down there that I can see."
"Alright," Higgy shouted "Let's go"
Max unscrewed the hatch and jumped down helping the others down one by one. When they were all down Mel and Spam began to look over the computers with the help of Kat. Finally they found a drive on the floor and they pushed it back into the slot. Some light flickered and a girl in red appeared. It was the Red Queen.
