Chapter 7

John's POV

I had just finished dealing with a zombie that had ambushed me, stupid freak. At the bottom of the stairs I noticed a door to my left. The moment I stepped inside, a cloud sprayed into my face. "AGGG" I yelled. I fell to the ground gripping my eyes in pain. "IT BURNS" I shouted. "OH NO" I heard someone yell.

Before I knew it someone lifted me off the ground and placed me against the wall. "I'm really sorry about that, are you alright" she asked as she applied something to my burning eyes.

I blinked constantly as my eyesight slowly returned. When I stopped blinking I could fully see who had attacked and cured me. It was a girl, mabey 18 or 19 yrs old, she had short tomboyish hair, a white S.T.A.R.S. jacket with a medic symbol on it, and a Berretta 92. In my opinion, she was cute looking, however their was no WAY I was gonna tell her that.

"Um yes I'm fine now" I said. "I'm sorry about that, I thought you were a zombie" she said. "It's no problem, even though zombies aren't smart enough to use a door knob" I said with a smirk. The girl returned the smile to me as she helped me to my feet.

"My name is Rebecca Chambers, I'm the medic of the S.T.A.R.S. bravo team, what's your name" she asked. "I'm John Ben" I responded with an accent, trying to show off. She looked more amused then impressed. "What are you doing here anyway" she asked. "Well myself and 9 other kids were out camping in the woods cause we wanted to find the cannibals hideout and become hero's, but before we knew what was happening, 2 of our friends were killed, and we ran for this mansion since it was the only place we could find" I explained.

"Well one, you don't look like a trained professional with experience in law enforcement, even though I don't as well" she said regrettable. "Why, you new" I asked out of curiosity. She nodded and sat down on the nearby cot. "Its my first mission, since I've been with the S.T.A.R.S. for only 2 months" she said. "Well believe it or not but my dad is apart of the S.P.F., and he allowed me a few times to shoot on of these and I'm pretty good at it"

I responded, pointing to the Sub-Machine gun strapped to my back. Before she could respond, I gripped my side in pain and fell to my knees. (Oh shit why now!) Rebecca gasped at this and ran to my side and helped me to lie down on the cot. I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I have several TINY scratches on my lower sideRebecca slowly lifted part of my shirt and gasped once more, Their were HUGE slash markings, as well as blood dripping from them, I had gotten those wounds earlier from those damn dogs, fortunately their weren't any bite wounds.

"My god, I'm surprised you can still walk with these injuries" Rebecca gawked. "I'm surprised myself, by all means, I shouldn't even be able to walk" I grinned in pain. Rebecca then removed something from her pouch. I moved my head from the drug as she tried to give it to me." This is going to help you, just swallow it" she insisted. I sighed and simply nodded as I allowed her to pour the strange liquid down my throat. "Hey, that tastes like root beer" I thought before passing out.

Jill's POV

Okay its official that these kids are insane. I mean camping in the woods, where the cannibal's hideout was rumored to be! And to make matters even better they did It all for the sake of becoming town hero's. Chris is right, they are thrill seeking kids ugg. Right now myself, Chris and Barry were discussing what to do about these kids, fortunately we locked the doors if they tried opening it we would know.

Its funny at the idea that these kids were constantly trying to impress us during our talk about what they were doing, most of it was made up. I glanced back and noticed drew was still crying over the death of someone name Alec, who was most likely another friend of his who didn't make it. "So what do you think we should with these troublemakers" chuckled Barry. "Lets just send them back home right now" grumbled Chris. "I don't think that such a good idea Chris, were miles away from the city and those dogs are out there" I resorted.

"Well these kids have a common goal with us don't they" asked Barry. Chris raised eyebrows at this. "What do you mean by that" I asked. "I mean there looking for they're friends, while were looking for our teammates. "So are you suggesting for us to team up with them" I asked.

"Forget it, there inexperienced, they'd slow us down and don't even know how to shoot. "Actually Chris, before finding Joe, I saw him shoot a zombie clean between the eyes" interrupted Barry. "He's right Chris, Kenneth is dead, so is Joseph, Forest, Kevin and Edward, this is a survival situation so do you really think its wise to just send them away, we could use there help" I intercepted. Chris looked at Barry and me and then threw his hands up in defeat. "Fine, but I wont like it" he grumbled.

I sighed and walked back over to the kids who were now trying and failing miserably to open the nearby beer bottles from the bar. Chris, annoyed at this yanked it from them and placed it back where they had found it. "Alright kids" I started.

"HEY WERE NOT KIDS" yelled Joe. "YEA, IF YOUR GONNA CALL US SOMETHING THEN USE OUR NAMES" shouted Drew. Chris put a hand to his head and muttered something about kids giving him a headache and Barry just smirked at their little "outburst". "Okay then Drew, Joe, we've decided since you're looking for your friends and were looking for our teammates, we've concluded that the smart thing to do is to team up.

The boys glanced at each other and grinned. "DOES THIS MEAN YOU WONT TELL OUR PARENTS ABOUT THIS" they both asked. "Sorry, still have to, police regulations" I chuckled. Both of them gave us dirty looks and sighed. "So how's this gonna work then" asked Chris.

"Well Ill go and check the east wing of the 2nd floor, Chris you and drew check this wing for anything we've missed, and Barry and Joe, check the 1st floor west wing." I instructed. Barry and Joe nodded and left before I could say anything else, before leaving Joe handed drew a .357 Desert Eagle. Chris groaned at the thought of having to work with kids and muttered for drew to follow him as they left the room. I shook my head in amusement and soon left as well.

Johns POV (OMG a minor character gets another POV)

I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes. I was lying down on the cot that Rebecca was sitting on earlier, speaking of Rebecca where is she. I glanced over to the corner to notice my weapon and all the ammo to it there, plus my shirt was hanging on a chair. I tried to sit up but gasped in pain as I collapsed into the bed once more.

I looked at my chest to notice a huge white cloth wrapped multiple times around my lower abdomen. I tried to sit up again and this time the pain wasn't as bad. I limped over to my gear and slowly put everything back on. Rebecca must have fixed me up while I was asleep. After suiting up I ran from the room towards the second floor, crossed the main hall, entered the double door and took the first door on the left. Inside was a small hallway and around the corner, sitting next to another guy was Rebecca.

"Rebecca" I cried as I dashed towards her. "John, your alright" she gasped. I started to talk but then noticed the man sitting next to her. He looked pretty bad, he had blue eyes, short brown shaved hair, an orange R.P.D. shirt and a Remington M870 Tactical Shotgun was lying against the wall, but what caught my attention was the gaping bloody/infected wound on his right arm.

"Hey are you okay" I asked already knowing the answer. "Who…Who are you" he moaned. "My name is John Ben and I'm here to help" I responded. The man gave me a weak smile and raised his left arm. "Richard Aiken, S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team Communication list" he said. I shook his hand and he winced in pain. "What happened to you" I asked. The smile from Richards face fell, a look of horror on it. "He's been bitten by a poisonous snake" Rebecca interrupted. "Its no ordinary snake…take my word from it" he groaned. "He's been poisoned and he needs serum" Rebecca said. I gasped at this, not at the fact that he needed Serum, but at the fact that he could possibly die, since there have been too many deaths tonight. "Ill go and get some from that medical room, your gonna make it Richard hold on" I shouted as I ran from the hall.

OKAY IN THE NEXT CHAPTER, DREW WILL SNEAK AWAY FROM CHIRS AND FIND ALECS CORSPE NUF SAID, JOHN WILL FIND THE SERUM FOR RICHARD, AND…WELL ILL THINK ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT, TILL THEN UPDATE!
