"Aw man, you're really bleeding," Cody said to Noah.
Noah clutched his injured arm. "I-It's fine, it doesn't hurt that much."
Cody squinted at him. "It's not fine, you need to bandage it."
Cody ripped a piece of his shirt off and tied it around Noah's arm.
"There, that should help the bleeding," he said.
"Thanks," Noah told him.
They locked eyes for a moment and blushed.
Cody cleared his throat and moved back from Noah. "I guess we should find a way out of here," he said.
"Yeah," Noah replied.
The two got up and looked around.
"Didn't one of the zombie's fall down here?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, but where is it?" Noah said.
They looked around the hole, the zombie was no where to be seen. A sudden rumble in the ground made the two boys stop and grab each other's hands. Some of the sand fell down the hole.
"Oh no..." Noah whispered.
"What?" Cody asked him.
The rumbling got bigger.
"It's an earthquake!" He shouted, "We need to get out of here or we'll be berried alive by the sand!"
More sand started to fall in.
"How do we get out? The only thing we can do is climb the walls, but we'll definitely fall back down!" Cody said.
"It's the only way out, we have to try," Noah said.
They started climbing up the sand walls, and fell at least five times.
A bunch of sand fell down the hole and landed on Cody.
"Aw, right in my eyes!" He groaned and rubbed his eyes, "I think it's hopeless, we can't get out."
Noah looked at him and took his hand. They starred at each other for a good minute. Suddenly, the zombie that had fallen down the hole earlier came up behind Cody and growled.
Cody and Noah screamed, but before the zombie could do anything, all the sand fell into the hole, berrying all of them.
Ella and Topher were still sprinting down the beach, away from the zombies, until the shaking of the ground started.
"Another earthquake?" Ella asked.
A tree snapped and began to fall towards them.
"Watch out!" Ella shouted and pushed Topher out of the way. The tree collapsed on her.
"Ella!" Topher shouted and knelt down beside her. He wrapped his arms around her.
"Topher... The zombies, you need to run..." She told him, "My legs are stuck, I can't go anywhere."
Topher looked up, the zombies were getting closer to them.
"No, I won't leave you," he told her and kissed her head.
The zombies were right in front of them and growled at them. Topher squeezed Ella while she hid her face into his chest.
