Chapter 4
"Oh shit." The man swore as his best friend, who has been hospitalised after a bad storke, suddenly rose from his bed growling, and sinking his teeth into the arm of the poor nurse who was checking up on him.
Her screams hurt the man's ears. He jumped up and tried to pull the nurse free of his friends bite. But he wouldn't let go.
"His turned, his turned!" The women continued to yell.
The man looked at the nurse a little confused. "Help me!" She yelled.
But the man was thinking back to the news, people was turning? Eating other people. His friend, wasn't his friend anymore. The poor nurse was still shouting for help. The man didn't know what to do.
But it was all too late. The man looked up to see his friend atop the nurse on the floor, her screaming had stopped, she was dead.
"No...no, no.." He knew what he had to do, but it would be hard. Picking up a metal tray , he walked up behind his friend was pulling bits from the nurses neck and shoving it into his mouth.
"Hey." His friend turned his head, growling he stood up and charged at the man. The man, pushed him easily to the ground and shoved the sharp bit of the tray into his friends neck.
He was crying as he pushed harder till the head come clean off. "I'm sorry, Dutch." The man stood up, walking away from his friend and spewed up.
Wiping his mouth the man grabbed his blue baseball cap and put it on. He grabbed the bed sheets and covered the nurses body. He grabbed a second sheet and covered his friend, carefully those as his head still was alive and his jaw was snapping.
The man the left the room quickly, running down the hallway to get out the hospital, he could hear gunshots and more groans from them undead things. He got outside and ran too his truck that was parked a little way down the road. He climbed up into the cab and grabbed his hunting rifle from the passenger seat, he put the strap over his shoulder and then grabbed his small supply bag with some money and a toothbrush in.
Unfortunately his truck was low on gas, so he wouldn't get far with it. So he took a big gulp of water and ran. He ran all the way to the highway, avoiding all the dead things and nearly getting run over from people who was scared.
As he neared the highway he stopped for a quick breather. Catching his breath and drinking some more water, he heard a snarl and a dead thing was walking towards him. Not wanting to use his rifle, cause he realised noise attracts more he ran into the woods, the Walker close behind.
About an hour later and with 5 more dead things behind him, the man glanced behind him so ran into something in front of him.
"Hey man, watch where you're going!"
"Sorry." The man stood up, dusting himself off. "These things was chasing me, for about an hour now."
The other man nodded. "You gotta aim for the head. I got attacked at a bar, that's he only way to kill these son of bitchs." The other man held a crowbar and swung at an oncoming walker, smashing it's head in.
The first man raised his eyebrows. "Right, the head." That's why his friends head was still moving.
"Hey I'm going to my crew, could be dark before I get there. They probably will let you in. Looks like your alone that's all."
"A crew?" The man questioned.
"Savage Sons."
"You mean the Biker club?" The man had heard of them, they wasn't exactly a nice biker crew, but what else could he do. More men, more chance not to die right? "Sure I'll come."
"I'm Joseph Graves by the way." Joe held out his hand.
The man nodded and held out his hand. "Dwayne Barnes."
Dwayne adjusted his old blue cap, and he followed the biker into the woods.
It was hardly 8 in the morning, and the small group that was on a food supply ran to a gas station that Jax said wasn't far down the road.
Templeton was leading the way, just behind him walked Ivory with Apollo, then behind her walked Angela and Danny who was making small talk.
Ivory wiped her brow that started to sweat a little from walking and the heat. Ivory undone the button on her shirt, underneath is her olive green tank top. She then rolled the sleeves of her white shirt up to her elbows to feel a little cooler.
Beside her, Ivory's German Sheppard was panting. "Hey Apollo buddy." She patted his head as they walked. "I should have some water for you."
"So you're Danny right?" Angela asked, looking way up to the taller man. Angela only being 5'2" made Danny very much taller to her.
"That's right." He replied in his Swedish accent.
"I'm Angela, if you don't remember." She smiled a little to him.
"Oh I remember, you like girls, right?" He laughed a little.
Angela glared up at him. "Yes, I am Homosexual. Do you have a problem with that?"
Danny looked down to Angela and noticed her fierce glaring. "No, I don't. I just think, I mean I wouldn't see myself liking another man that's all."
"Okay." Angela didn't really know how to reply. She already had to deal with people staring as her and her wife would walk to the shops holding hands, or when they took their daughter to the park. She didn't need it from a stranger she might be stuck with for a while.
"What's that women doing?" Danny stormed forward a few steps towards Ivory and snatched the bottle of water from her hands. "You seriously wasting water on a dog?"
Ivory stopped walking and spun around to Danny. "Hey give that back, his thirsty!"
"So find a puddle or a stream for him." Danny looked at the bottle of water. "Anyway I am thirsty." He them started to gulp down at least half the bottle of Ivory's water.
"No stop! You have your own water, that's mine!" Ivory grabbed Dannys arm and pulling down as hard as she could, stopping him from drinking.
"I said I am thirsty." He pushed Ivory back. Ivory tripping on her own feet and falling back onto her butt.
"Oh hell no." Angela ran from behind and jumped onto Danny back, she wrapped her legs around him and her arms around his neck.
Ivory smiled and got back up, successfully grabbing her water bottle back from Danny.
Apollo starting barking from all the commotion and that cause Templeton to turn sound and realise the small group and had started walking. Then he realised they was fighting. "Oh Jesus." He ran towards them.
"Guys what are you doing? You're making a ton of noise!" Templeton stood in between Ivory and Danny. "What are you arguing about?"
Angela jumped off Danny back, glaring at him as she stood with Ivory. "He took Ivory's water, wouldn't give it back to her."
Templeton looked to Danny. "Don't you have your own bottle?"
Danny shrugged. "I already drunk mine. And she was wasting hers on a dog."
"It's Ivory's water, if she wanted to pour the water over the floor you can't stop her. Save your own water next time, don't drink it so fast, take sips." Templeton turned to the girls behind him.
"You two okay?" He asked.
Ivory smiled at Angela. "We handled it."
Apollo started barking again, he stood in front of Ivory and growled towards the tree line.
Everyone immediately grabbed their weapons, this usually meant a Walker was near.
There was a ringing noise, kind of like a small bell before a cat leaped from the trees and sat down in front of the group.
Ivory grabbed Apollo's collar before he could chase it. "It's okay boy, just a kitty cat."
Templeton didn't realise how tense he had gone till he released it all. "That a cute cat, I have to say."
Angela looked at the cat, it was Calico, so it was white with orange and brown patches, a tortoise shell coloured cat. "Clint?" She called quietly to it.
The cat stood up and meowed, running over to Angela and rubbing it's head across her leg. Angela picked up the cat and cuddled it to her chest. "Clint, how are you still alive buddy?"
"He yours?" Templeton asked.
"Yeah he is." Angela couldn't help but smile. Her wife is missing and her daughter dead. Seeing the cat she knew and loved gave herself a very happy feeling.
"What the hell kind of name is Clint?" Danny laughed.
"My daughter named him." Angela glared, never saying much about her daughter to anyone, she couldn't talk about what happened.
"Lundren leave off." Templeton rolled his eyes, saying Dannys last name as a habit from when he was in the army.
Ivory looked down the road. "Hey is that the gas station?" She called to the group.
"I think it is." Templeton starting a jog towards it, not having the energy to run.
Ivory ran behind, Apollo at her side, then Danny and Angela with her cat.
"It doesn't look like it hasn't been broke into yet." Angela pointed out.
It was a small gas station, the windows wasn't broke, the inside looked like any gas station would filled with food, water and other necessities.
Templeton opened the door and quietly walked in. He couldn't see any of those walker things, but the shelves from the station was untouched. Looking at the snacks and chocolate made his stomach rumble so he opened a packet of Lays and scoffed them down.
Angela laughed a little. "Hungry?"
He nodded. "Guess I feel a little bad for not paying for these though."
Danny rolled his eyes. "You don't have to worry about that anymore." He said as he grabbed some chocolate bars and shoved them in his duffle bag.
Ivory smiled as she noticed the small section of pet food. She immediately thought of getting that for Apollo than food for herself. She open a bag of dog treats and tipped them on the floor so Apollo could eat while she got some tinned food for everyone else.
Angela was looking at bars of soap, and shampoo. She picked up some toothbrushes for everyone, and toothpaste. Then she noticed the feminine hygiene on the bottom shelf. Making sure none of the boys was looking she shoved a good few packs in her bag, there was a lot of girls in this group that might need them.
"What are doing?"
Angela jumped up at the voice. Only to be glad it was Ivory. "Do you need some?" Angela held out a packet to her.
Ivory nodded and thanked her. She also made sure no boys was looking as she put them in her bag. "Hey, Urm I found this. You might want it."
Angela smiled as she took the tins of cat food from Ivory. "Thank you."
The calico cat purred from behind the two upon smelling the fish flavoured food in the tin.
Angela smiled and opened up a tin for her daughters cat, leaving it on the shelf the cat was sat upon so he could eat it.
Danny found a chiller and found loads of soda and water bottles, he was grabbing loads to put in his second bag when he heard a bang from the back room.
Everyone tensed immediately. Apollo had stopped eating and was growing at a door that said Staff Only.
"Is it one of those Walker things?" Ivory asked, standing at her dogs side.
"I don't know. Probably." Templeton gripped at his revolver. "You guys stay here."
Angela nodded. "Okay." As she gripped her metal baseball bat tight in her grasp.
"We will be fine." Ivory nodded.
Templeton silently opened the door and slipped inside the dark back room. He squinted his eyes a little as they adjusted to the dark. He noticed the dusty shelves had some tin food on them.
He headed to the back of the room where he could see a figure on the floor. Templeton held his revolver infront of him as he walked to the figure, he couldn't tell if it was a Walker or not.
As he was about a feet away he noticed the figure was small and curled up on the floor, but it wasn't a Walker because it was crying.
Templeton put his revolver in the waistband of jeans, and bent done to the small persons height. "Hey it's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you."
The small person stopped sobbing for a second to look up at Templeton.
It was a young girl, a child in fact about 10 years of age.
Her hair is really blonde and long, falling over her face as she looked up to Templeton, she wiped her eyes that was big and brown.
"My names Templeton, are you parents around?" He asked.
The young girl shook her head. "My Mum, she...she tried to kill me."
"Was she one of those things?" He asked.
"Yeah, one of those monsters. So I ran here." She wiped her eyes again. "The man when out to find his wife, he hasn't come back, he said he will look after me!" She shouted the last part a little, like she was angry.
"What man?" Templeton asked.
"He owns this garage, he said no one or monsters would find me here. He said that he would come back and he hasn't." She started to cry again.
"What about your Dad?" He asked.
The girl stared at Templeton with shock and then quickly shook her head.
"It's okay if you don't want to answer. So you are all alone?" He asked.
"I guess I am. Tom hasn't come back for a day." She looked up to Templeton. She didn't usually trust strangers, but this man was nice. "My name is Cathy."
Templeton smiled. "Cathy? That's a nice name." Templeton thought for a moment. "Cathy would you like to come back with me, I'm in a safe place, with some others. We can keep you safe, and we will never leave you alone."
Cathy was silent for a moment then nodded. She stood up and grabbed her pink backpack and shoved her blanked inside. She then took a glance at Templeton as she shoved something inside her pocket.
"What's that?" He asked, it was small and fitted in her jean pocket. "Just something Tom had gave me."
"Okay. Well I have 3 friends outside, they are good don't worry. Okay?" Cathy nodded and slung her backpack over her shoulder.
Templeton walked to the door of the backroom and pushed it open, seeing the others waiting for him in shop floor. "It wasn't a Walker guys. I found someone."
Angela raised an eyebrow. "Found who?"
"She's a little shy."
Templeton then walked onto the shop floor and held the door open for Cathy to walk through. She had her head down, her long hair covering her face again.
Ivory glanced to Templeton, thinking what was they going to do with a kid.
"Hi.." Cathy said quietly to the others.
Apollo barked happily to this and approached Cathy, liking her hand as a way to say hello.
Ivory smiled a little at this. "He always has liked kids."
Cathy smiled and looked up pushing her hair out of her face. She smiled at Ivory. "What's his name?"
"His called Apollo." Ivory smiled a little. "I think he likes you." Ivory couldn't help but smile a little seeing this young girl talking to her and being happy about her dog.
Danny didn't take much notice of the young girl and carried on putting more supplies in his bag.
Angela turned the corner of an aisle, and stopped suddenly as she saw the young child stood with the others. She never thought about finding a child on their supply run. The girl infront of her looked to be a little older than her adoptive daughter she had, but to Angela they looked so alike and it made her heart pound in her chest.
"Whose this?" She asked, as her cat Clint jumped on a shelf next to Angela and sat down.
"This is Cathy." Templeton replied. "She was alone. There was a man taking care of her, but he hasn't returned."
"Hi." Cathy smiled and gasped. "Is that your kitty?"
Angela nodded. "It was- It's my daughters."
Cathy walked over to Angela and smiled. "His lovely."
Angela stared at Cathy, and went silent. This little girl seemed to like animals, just like her daughter.
"Angela?" Templeton called. "Are you alright?"
Angela looked up from her trance. She didn't notice her cheek was wet. Was she crying? Angela quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. She stayed silent and didn't answer Templeton.
"Ms?" Cathy asked. "Are you okay, did I offend your cat?"
Angela looked down at Cathy and smiled. "Oh no, honey you didn't."
Danny then walked around to join the group. "Bags full."
Templeton nodded. "Okay let's head back. See how the others went."
They all excited the garage, Clint sat on Angela's shoulder as she walked, Apollo was slightly in front of Ivory as she stepped outside.
Templeton looked behind him. "Cathy?" He realised she hadn't left the doorway. "What's wrong darling?"
"What if he comes back." She looked a little distressed.
"Who?" Angela asked.
"Tom. What if he comes back and I'm not here and then he worries where I am." She cried out.
Danny cringed as she shouted a little. "Hey be quiet you'll attract those walkers."
Angela glared at Danny then looked to Cathy. "We can leave a message. Tell him where we are."
Cathy smiled and nodded. "There's paint in the back!"
The girl disappeared through the door and come back a few seconds later with a litre of brown paint that looked half empty and a paintbrush that was still in the packet.
Templeton smiled. "Clever girl."
"Where should I paint it?"
Ivory then spoke up. "You'll want it big so he can see it easily. How about on the windows?"
Cathy nodded and then looked to Templeton. "Can you help?"
"Sure. You tell me what to put." He opened the paintbrush and dipped it into the brown paint.
"Can I sign it though?" She asked as Templeton finished the message.
"Sure." He handed her the brush.
Danny signed. "Can we go now?"
Templeton nodded and started to walk then noticed then again Cathy was un moving.
"Cathy?"
"I can't."
"Why not?" Templeton asked.
"I can't leave him." She sniffed.
Ivory frowned. "You've left a message for him."
Cathy shook her head. "No not Tom. My...my Dad, he is still at home. I can't leave him there."
Danny, Templeton, Angela and Ivory all looked at eachother, unsure what to do.
"I live near. We leave on the outskirts of the city. The bombs probably missed my house." Cathy said.
Templeton rubbed the back of his head. It was risky to go back into the city, they didn't know how many of those Walkers could be in the city. But this little kid Dad could be there, and that could be the best thing for her right now.
"No way." Danny growled. "It's dangerous in the city."
Ivory nodded. "I agree, we can't risk our lives."
"But it's my Dad whose back there." Cathy frowned.
Angela looked between Ivory and Danny, who didn't want to go back into Atlanta and Cathy who had big puppy eyes, looking at Angela.
Angela wasn't sure what to do. She wanted to get back to the cabin, to safety, but also this sweet kid needed her Dad.
"I'll go. You guys go back." Angela said.
Templeton nodded. "Then I'll come too."
Ivory shook her head. "Guys you can't risk your lives like that. What if her Dad's dea-"
Angela glared at Ivory causing her to stop what she was about to say.
"Sorry." Ivory quickly apologised.
"Me and Ivory will go back, we can tell the others where you are." Danny suggested.
Ivory wasn't too keen about being left alone with Danny after he had took her water earlier, no but she could handle herself if he got angry again. Plus she had Apollo.
Templeton nodded yet again. "Okay. Cathy do you know your address? So you can go back to the cabin while me and Angela goes."
Cathy quickly shook her head. "No I have to come with you, I know where he is. And I can direct you to my house."
Templeton ran a hand down his face, clearly he didn't know what to do again. "Okay fine. But you have to stay close kid."
Ivory nodded. "Right. Um be careful guys."
"You too." Templeton clapped a hand onto Ivory's shoulder.
"Oh wait!" Cathy ran back inside the gas station.
Danny rolled his eyes at this. "We should be going now."
The small blonde ran out the door a little breathless. In her hands she had two big chunky walkie talkies. "You can stay in contact with these?"
Ivory took the one talkie and smiled. "Yeah we can. They look like long range."
Templeton took the other talkie and changed the channel, then he did the same to Ivory's talkie. "Gotta make sure we have the same channel."
Everyone nodded 'byes' and 'be safe' as they finally parted ways.
The gas station stood quiet and empty once more. The brown paint drying quickly in the Georgia heat.
Later on that night a group come along the station and read the message. There was a quick discussion of what to do. The newest member of the group wasn't certain about the others idea of what to do.
But he adjusted his old blue cap on his head, pushing his dark hair back from his face. He took one last glance at the message.
Tom I'm okay. Gone to cabin down the road. With others. Cathy.
"Dwayne, you coming?" His new friend called.
"Yeah." He replied, following the rest of the biker group.
Sorry it's been a while guys, this chapter was longer than expected but you will get another chapter pretty soon!
Anyone watch marvel films? Just bought Infinity War on dvd and I forgot how good it was and sad.
