Chapter 2 - Nightmare's Can Be Real
When I woke up in the morning I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen to me. Amy was still asleep so I decided to stock up on gumption. I hoped that when I got back to the base Silo and that kid Shawn had made it back without any trouble. when Amy got up she noticed that I was already awake and loading up my stocks, "why are you doing that so early in the morning" she asked, "I'm going back to the base" I replied "you need a lift" she said, "that would be much appreciated", that was the only conversation we had that morning, after that there was just silence not counting the zombies non-stop banging at the windows outside.
As we starting moving to the door the zombies banging got louder and louder, as if they new we were going to be leaving. Then all of a sudden the banging stopped, and there was no sound anymore you could hear a pin drop. We looked at each other then started heading to the door again, I slowly raised my weapon not knowing hat could be waiting for us. I slowly started to open the door as Amy raised her weapon just in case. I suddenly yanked the door all the way open and raised my weapon, there was nothing there. "I wonder where they all went, they just disappeared" said Amy, "I don't know and, I don't want to find out" I replied.
We ran to the car as fast as we could so even if they did surprise us they would not be able to catch up to us, She started the car then all of a sudden ten of them came from behind the house, "Go, go, go." I yelled. The car then took off, I watched the house get smaller and smaller in the distance, that's a place I'd like to forget I thought. "So which way next Silver" Amy said as she looked at me, "uhh, lets see go straight till we hit the next 2 buildings then it should be on the left". It was a silent car ride the way there it was hard to bear the silence in these days but I had to. As soon as we got to the base I noticed that there was no activity outside, "where are the guards... they should be patrolling right now" I said, "maybe they took a break" Amy said, I looked at her sarcastically, "wait here, I'll be back in five minutes and if im not leave the area immediately, ok", "ok", she said back to me.
I left the car and headed toward the main gate of the base and punched in the security code, the doors opened, revealing a bloody battle battlefield, It was disgusting there were body parts everywhere human and zombie, there were guns scattered, it looked like we didn't even stand a chance I thought to myself. I walked into the base and looked around to see if there were any survivors, I heard noises from the cafeteria, I hoped it was soldiers or something other than zombies, but seeing outside didn't help my chances any. I quickly pushed the doors opened and had already raised my weapon to shoot anything if I was attacked, "Stop, don't shoot" a voice said, "Who goes there" I yelled unable to see who was shouting, "Silver, that you", "Silo", "Yeah, it's me" I lowered my weapon in relief that he was still alive, "Hey is that kid, Shawn, with you still" I asked, "Yeah" Shawn said, "good", "okay I got a ride outside, so lets go", "a ride" Silo and Shawn both said to each other.
As we headed outside we noticed that the dead bodies on the ground started to move, "Silo let's pick up pace before we become breakfast for these guys." I said, "Umm, Silver we got a problem." Shawn said, "what is it?" I said as I looked back and noticed that we were slowly being surrounded by zombies. "This can't be good" said Silo, I opened fire on the 2 closet's ones and got direct hits to the head, "Ok Shawn hurry to the door while me and Silo give cover fire, the code is 2948" I yelled, Shawn started to run towards the door, and frantically tried to type in the code, "Silver it's not working", "WHAT!", "Silo go help him" I said. When Silo got to the door he also started typing the code, but it didn't work for him either, "Silver it's not working" Silo yelled What, but how could they change the pass code I thought "k, well then look out" I told them, "What!" Shawn said "Move." I replied, as they moved I turned towards the lock and shot a single round straight into the keypad the door suddenly unlocked and started to open, "Who did you know that would work" Silo asked "I didn't I took a chance" I replied "now let's hurry up and get into the car.
As we got outside the gates there was no sign of the car anywhere, "God Dammit! where is she" I yelled. The sound of tires screeching against the pavement was loud and fast and getting closer, suddenly a car turned the corner sharply, "Get in." Amy yelled. As me Silo, and Shawn piled into the car we saw a small army of zombies turn the bend that the car had just come from, "I see you ran into a little action as well" I said, "Shut it and buckle up" She replied, "Well your in a good mood, oh and while were here Silo, and Shawn this is Amy". "You find what you were looking for Silver" Amy asked "Kind of" I replied, "well what do you mean kind of", "kind of deadish" "The whole base" she asked, "yeah" Silo and I both said at the same time. "Were gonna have to find more people...or were screwed" I said, Silo and Amy both agreed, "so tomorrow we get supplies to survive" "yeah" they all said, "okay then it's a plan".
