Hi Sixth Chap. Hope you guys like it. Quite a major death in here, so be prepared, I'm sorry if it's a character you like. Hope you enjoy it. Please R & R.

Underground

They entered the room. Spam got her bearings, "Right, I think the entrance should be under there, she pointed to a large metal cupboard.

"Great." Higgy sighed. "Red hold on to DL for a minute" Red nodded. "Okay, Mel, Lena, BJ, Kat, Max, can you help me out with this?" They nodded, they pulled the cupboard and it creaked. It moved slightly but not enough to get behind it to push. Bex, Jo and Maz came up and started to pull as well. Slowly but surely the cupboard moved out of the way, enough for Higgy and a couple of others to get behind it and push, it was soon off the trap door and Spam tried to get it open. "It's key locked. I can't get it open."

Higgy just got out her gun and shot the lock and it popped as it became able to be opened. "Fair enough." Spam lifted the door and dropped down and got out her gun, the place was deserted. "Come on down guys! The coast is clear!" Higgy came down first, followed by Mel and then they helped DL down with Red. The rest came down soon after and Mel pulled the door shut after them. "Lead the way Spam."

Higgy and Red had DL's arms draped over their shoulders and were helping her along. The virus effects were starting to show, she was becoming pale and tired, and her bite was welting up, bleeding through the material. They slowly made their way through the underground tunnels, Spam and Mel in front followed by Morlena and Bex. Kat, Max and Maz tagged along behind trying to contain their emotion at losing DK and Em. Higgy and the two girls walked behind them, BJ and Jo bringing up the rear.

They carried on walking for about five minutes before Spam stopped and held up her hand for everyone behind to stop as well.

"Spam..." Mel asked, "What's wrong?"

"Shhh, Listen..."

They listened. There was a faint groaning coming from somewhere behind them. "Shit..." Higgy swore, "come on guys, we've gotta keep moving" They started running forward which must have alerted more zombies because as they ran down the corridor ahead of them more zombies appeared. "We're surrounded!" said Bex.

"Well thank you captain bloody obvious!" Morlena shouted.

"Guys, look up there," Mel pointed to an opening with some stairs leading up to it; it was quite near them. "Let's go"

They ran to the opening. Spam, Max, Maz and Morlena started to hold off the zombies, "Higgy, get up there!" Red called, over all the gun shots and groaning. Higgy nodded, climbed up the ladder and reached down. "Come on!"

"Higgy, you're going to have to help DL up." Higgy nodded and Red and Mel gave her a boost so Higgy could reach her. "Come on DL!" When DL was up, Red turned to Mel. "Go on! Get up there!"

"What about you?"

"Just go!"

Mel nodded and climbed up and Red called to Max and Spam, "Guys, go on up. I'll handle these bastards!" Max backed away firing, and climbed up, followed by Spam. Jo and BJ went next followed soon after by Maz, Bex and Kat. Morlena and Red were the only ones left now and the zombies were growing in number. Higgy and Mel leant over the opening, "Come on guys!"

"Go!" Red shouted to Morlena, but she firmly shook her head. "Go!" she pushed Morlena towards the railing. Morlena look one last look and ran up the stairs. Mel pulled her up the last few and Higgy poked her head down again, "RED! Come on!"

Red backed up and started climbing up, reaching for Higgy's hand. She grabbed it and Higgy began to pull her up. The zombies grabbed and clawed at her legs and she cried out in pain. "Higgs!! Help me!" Higgy pulled, Mel and Spam ran over and, leaning down, helped Higgy pull but it wasn't enough. The zombies pulled harder and began to pull Red back into their throng, they began to bite at her ankles. She screamed as she was pulled and Higgy pulled harder. Red looked up into Higgy's eyes, "Higgs, let go......"

"No!"

"Higgy, stop it."

"NO!!"

Higgy yanked on Red's wrist, pulling her so hard that she was pulled up through the hole and on to the floor next to the others.

"I'm not letting you go just yet," Higgy smiled and looked down at Red's body. There were bites and tears all up her legs; Jo and BJ helped DL up and over to Red's side.

"Red?" She looked into the older girls eyes. BJ and Jo sat down on either side of DL. Red was losing lots of blood and her breathing was starting to become laboured. Higgy and DL took her hands in theirs; Red turned her head to DL, "DL?"

"Yeah Red, it's me"

Red smiled and tried to say something but it was too quiet for anyone to hear. DL leant forward and Red whispered something in her ear. DL chuckled slightly and sat up. Higgy looked at her, "What did she say?"

"She said 'look after Jimmy for me'" Higgy smiled and looked down at the wounded girl. "I'm sure your guitar will be fine Red," she said, her eyes glistening with tears.

Red looked to both of them and said very weakly.

"I love you guys...Bye."

Red's body went limp and tears began to pour down DL and Higgy's cheeks. Higgy leant on the girl's limp body, whispering to herself, "no...no...no...", the tears soaking into Red's shirt. BJ embraced DL, letting her cry into her shoulder. Kat approached Jo and hugged her as she sobbed as well.

Everyone hung their heads but quite unobtrusively Bex got out her gun and aimed at it at Red's limp head. She fired, making everyone jump in surprise, Higgy sat up immediately and looking down, saw the bullet hole in her friend's head. She jumped up and walked straight over to Bex, punching Bex round the face, knocking her to the ground. She started to hit Bex's body screaming things such as "You Fucking Bitch!" and "I hate you!" Immediately, Spam and Mel ran forward and grabbed Higgy's arms, holding her back. She struggled but continued to scream as Morlena helped Bex to her feet. She had a bleeding nose and a huge bruise on her cheek.

"You couldn't just let her rest in peace could you?! You had to shoot her in the head!iggy;'" Higgy screamed

"I'm sorry Higgy" Bex replied, "I was doing what I thought was best, and I didn't think you wanted a zombie for a friend."

"She's right Higgy" DL said from behind Higgy, Higgy stopped struggling and turned to face DL, "What?!"

"You heard, she's right. We wouldn't want Red to come back as a zombie just like she wouldn't have wanted to either."

Tears began to stream down Higgy's face again and DL pulled her into a hug, rubbing her back and hushing her gently.

Okay people. Please don't kill me, that means you Red. Anyway, next part in the making. See you soon. Please R & R.
