It was dark. The sounds of the dead were pounding through their heads.They wereliving off one pure instinct, run. The heels from their shoes clicked against the rough cement, as they fled the monsters behind them. They ran around a corner to a dead end, where zombies were crawling from under stairs and through doors. Looking behind them they were shocked at just how many had followed. Trapped with nowhere to go, they desperatly took the first opertunity that showed itself to them. A large pair of blue doors. They moved through them.

The quiet was calming, "This must be the Apple Inn Hotel" George said, as he looked around the windowed walls that surounded them.

"I have heard of it but..." An explosion pierced their ears. And they turned around to find the door they came through completely crushed and a new entrance shown to them, "What the hell was that?" Alyssa turned around and pressed her back against the window behind her. A shiver crawled down her spine as the creature traced up the window she had her back to. Turning around and looking she covered her mouth with her hands in shock, "Oh my god." She whispered to herself. Simply glancing at the beast Kevin looked back to the new door,

"Okay let's go." He said and everyone followed.

------------------------------------------------

They had been running for ten minutes. Never once did they stop to take a break because the monster wasn't exactly ready to let them. It had moved with the zombies, and tried to kill them numerous times with it's large extended arm or it's acidic liquid which it shot from large pours. Everytime Cindy would look back at the thing, she would tremble in fear, and hope that it would just catch up and kill her, she didn't want to do this anymore, she was tired, "I am afraid, but I have to keep going." She thought to herself.

"THERE LET'S GO IN THERE!" David yelled as he pointed to a small door. They all ran through and david locked the door behind them, "There that thing won't fit through thi..." In mid sentance Cindy screamed as a large fleshy hand burst through the wall beside David. He jumped out of the way as the monster tore through creating it's own entrance, zombies were not too far either. "This must be some sort of garage." David thought to himself. The walkway was long, and large enough for the monster to follow them. They all ran as fast as they could watching behind them to see how close it was. David was the first one to turn around. "Holy shi... GET DOWN!" David pushed Cindy against a far wall and grabbed Yoko pulling her to the ground just barely evading the large rocket that screamed through the air. The projectile met with the Mutant and parts of it exploded in all directions. What was left of the creature was used to crush all the zombies around it.

"Yeah you got that right! Don't even think about getting up you son of a bitch!" David looked up. Standing there was a large black man in a security uniform.

"Mark!" Cindy yelled and ran over to the man. "You're alive!" Mark gladly accepted the hug, he needed something like this from a pretty youg girl right about now. David looked down at Yoko who was staring at him

"Thank you." She said, David helped her up

"Don't mention it." They both walked over to the man aswell.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The room was covered in ash and smoke. Lying on the ground was the body of a dead fireman. Kevin looked down and noticed the radio which was streaming in and out of static conversation. He bent down to pick it up "Hello? Can anyone hear me? Is anyone there? HELLO?" Kevin put the radio back on the ground and stood up onto his feet, "Shit." Kevin looked around the room and saw there was another fireman hanging from a platform above them.

"The explosion must have come from that machine over there." George said as he pointed to a large machine in the corner of the room, where Alyssa was busy detatching a pipe. She ripped it loose and handed it to George.

"You don't seem like the kind of person who would give someone else the weapon." Alyssa walked past him to a ladder leading to the platform where the second fireman was.

"Oh don't worry; I know karate." Alyssa looked over her shoulder to the cop and smiled. "And hey, I let you have the assult rifle back there didn't I." She began to climb, And Kevin smiled to himself.

--------------------------------------------

"Mark how are you alive?" Cindy was sitting on the bench beside him looking at him intently.

"What are you talking about?" He replied

"I mean, Kevin... he... he shot you...I was there...I saw it...you were one of them, one of those things." The memory haunted her.

"I don't remember anything like that. All I can recall is being at J's bar when the outbreak happened, and then going to some apartment building, after that I woke up here and found that baby." He pointed to his empty rocket launcher on the ground beside him.

"Yeah and when you came out of the apartment you were a zombie, I remember, you attacked Kevin."

"Listen Cindy I already told you all I remem...AARHHH." Mark winced and grabbed the side of his neck.

"Mark are you okay?" Cindy wrapped his arm around him trying to keep him calm, and David helped her. Yoko's face went pale, and she too let out a painfull scream reaching for her neck, falling to her knees. David went to her

"What the hell is going on!" He yelled

--------------------------------------------------------

"Who would ever stay in a dirty hotel like this, they must get horrible business." Alyssa said

"Well I'm sure it was a bit better before the city became one giant killing spree." George held up his pipe ready to strike anything that came up to them.

"What ever let's just find a way out of here." Alyssa turned around, "Hey Kev you coming? Kevin?" Kevin was leaned up against a wall with his eyes closed, baring his teeth as if he was about to explode. "Kevin are you alright?" As she spoke Kevin fell to the ground in a yell. "Oh my god." She ran to him. Being Kevin's only support she tried to keep him concious," George you...mind helping me here...George?" She turned her head to find George identical to Kevin "Shit!" Before she could do anything, she smelled a familiar smell, the smell of the dead. A zombie was coming towards her and Kevin and she was defensless to it's attack. Starring in horror she waited to be rendered limb from limb. Her thoughts went away as the zombie was shot in the face. Alyssa snapped her head around to find a young woman in a black skirt with blond hair in a bun holding a handgun. She ran over to Alyssa.

"Follow me, I have a good hiding place." Without hesitation she followed, and they both carried theunconcious men with them.

---------------------------------------------------

David holding Mark, and Cindy Holding Yoko, they moved up the stairs as fast as they could trying to get to the roof. It seemed as though the Mutants death did not take all the zombies with it to hell, and they awoke during Yoko and Mark's mysterious seisure which left Yoko completely unconcious and Mark barely able to walk even with the help of David.

"Almost there!" David yelled behind him.

"They're right behind us!" Cindy called back to him. Finally they reached the roof. The building across from them was The Apple Inn Hotel. It was burnt in many places and most were still in the proccess of burning, but it was good enough for David. As they came through Cindy locked the door and Mark awoke from his state of weakness.

"Mark are you okay?" David asked him, right now he only wanted to ask the essentials seeing as the zombies were only a little bit behind them and they were very poorly armed. However mark did still have his security handgun with him, which David took. He left Mark there to fend for himself and fired four shots at a window in the hotel. He then tossed the gun back to Mark who aimed it at the door where the zombies were ferociously banging. "Okay Cindy you wanna go first?" David asked

"What? You want to jump!" Cindy looked at him shocked. David calmly nodded. On an average day if someone had asked her to jump a roof through a window and into a burning hotel Cindy would have probably called the cops, but this was no average day. So she took in a deep breath and opened her eyes to see the target. She ran for the edge of the buliding and lept across to the Hotel. Bursting through the window she rolled on the ground, cutting her back due to the many shards of glass scattered everywhere.

"Mark you're next!" Mark already knew what David wanted him to do and he attempted his jump, but he just wasn't the man he used to be back in vietnam. Just short by a few feet he grabed for what ever he could which was the window ledge. The glass pierced his hand and he could barely hang on, until a man reached down and helped him up. "Okay girl just you an me now." David picked up Yoko and began to run for the window, just as the zombies broke through. Luckily for both David and Yoko the window was big enough and David made the jump. He only took a second to catch his breath before he looked up to a new face

"Who are you?"
