"Are you serious!?" Victor shouted angrily.
"What makes you think I'm not?" Lane replied cooly.
"Oh, I dunno... Maybe it's the fact that at least 40 zombies surrounded us at the high school!" Victor screamed at Lane. "It's freaking suicide doing that! It's stupid!"
Lane looked down.
"Yeah, It wouldn't be very smart if we did that..." Adan muttered. "Especially if we want to survive... Which we want to do, right?"
Everyone but Lane nodded in agreement.
"Heh..." Lane laughed.
Everyone looked at him.
"Listen to yourselves... You sound like a bunch of self-centered assholes..."
Everyone looked at Lane, surprised at what he said.
"When we left the high school, it was like we left every single one of those people... Everyone we knew... Everyone we were friends with... It's like we left them for dead..."
Their faces turned sad with the thoughts that Lane had given them.
"So, I think we should go back and see if anyone survived... I feel that it's our job to do that..."
Everyone was silent. No one expected those words to come out of Lane's mouth. He was so carefree and such a slacker.
"...What about those 'things'...?" Chev asked.
"Well," Lane started, "We know they are zombies, right? So, once they are done, they will go find some new place to find food..."
"...Well, I'm going then..." Victor said.
Everyone agreed to go tomorrow.
"Okay, Well, let's get some sleep..." Chev said as he lay down on the couch and closed his eyes.
"Wait," Victor said "We need a look out..."
"...I'll do it!" Renae said, "You guys get some rest..."
"Are you sure, Sis?" Chev said, opening one eye and directing it to his sister.
"Yeah, I can tell you guys have been through a lot." She replied
"You had to do the same!... Didn't you?"
Renae looked down. "Well... I was kinda skipping classes... I was eating at Subway, waiting for dad to go to work. So, when I knew he left, I started to walk home. I saw the whole thing at the high school... So I came here as soon as possible..."
"Well... At least your okay!"
"Yeah, so let me keep watch, okay?"
"Right!" They all replied
And with that, they went to sleep.
"Ready, guys?" Lane asked as he loaded a clip into his handgun.
"Yeah!" They all replied confidently.
Lane stepped outside, followed by the others. He retrieved the keys from Victor and ran over to the truck to unlock it. As he did this, he felt something grab his leg. His leg was yanked from under the truck, causing him to fall. He got dragged under the truck. He was flailing and screaming for help. He looked up to his friends and his heart sank as he saw them. They had the same distinct, rotting skin that the zombies had. He stopped flailing and looked at them, slowly getting dragged under the truck.
A slight "...no.." came out of Lane's mouth.
He felt it all... His back getting ripped up by it claws as it tried to pull him under. Finally, he felt it's jagged teeth sink into his flesh, then tearing it away. He screamed out in agony as it repeated doing this in different places, Until he was completely devoured.
Lane awoke with a scream. He was breaking out in a cold sweat. He put his head in his hands, and began to cry quietly, thinking of this happening to his friends or himself. He looked up and wiped away his tears.
"No..." He said to himself, "I'm not gonna let that happen to them... Even if it's the last thing I do..."
Renae came downstairs.
"Are you okay?" she asked "I heard something down here..." Then she saw Lane, siting up on the floor.
"What happened?" She asked.
"It's nothing..." Lane replied
"..." She smiled at him. "If there's anything you want to talk about, come and talk to me... Okay?"
"Yeah... I will..." He said as he smiled back.
And with that, Renae went back upstairs to keep watch and Lane tried to get back to sleep.
