So chapter 9, a little bromance is on the way, don't worry, hope you enjoy! ~Ella xx
"I'm in the tank, where the hell are you" asked Dan.
"Oh man if you were up here now you'd be having a major freak out" said the voice.
"Look, I don't know who you are but I'm getting a little worried down here" said Dan.
"Okay, okay, I'm on the roof of the the city centre, there are a few creepers on the top of the tank but pretty much all of them have joined a feeding frenzy over by another store, I think you can get out but you'll need a weapon" said the voice.
Dan looked around the tank and came across a small black leather ball, when he pulled it out, he realised it was a grenade and almost dropped it. Dan put it in his pocket and looked in his gun.
"I have five shots left" said Dan.
"Okay, better make them five shots count" said the voice, which Dan swore he recognised.
"Hey, what's you're name?" asked Dan.
"Are you serious? this is you're last chance, wanna live or not?" asked the voice.
Dan didn't reply, he knew what to do.
Dan opened the turret at the top and saw one of the dead people, he grabbed his gun and hit it on the head as hard as he could, the dead person was now truly dead.
Dan ran as fast as he could, shooting anything that got in his way. When he saw the city centre's alleyway, Dan came to a sudden stop in front of it and pulled his gun forward to see a shocked face.
"Don't shoot!" Tom shouted and ran forward signalling Dan to follow him.
They ran up the alleyway, getting followed by the creepers, until they found a ladder leading up to a roof. Dan looked at it hesitantly.
"Hey it'll be the fall that kills us, I'm a glass half empty kind of guy" Tom smiled.
Once they'd climbed the ladder and got to the roof, the action was over and Tom turned to Dan to take it in that he was really there.
"I thought you were dead" said Tom, punching Dan's shoulder.
"Come on Tom, I know you want to hug me" said Dan, holding his arms out to which Tom happily embraced.
"I've missed our bromance" muffled Tom.
Dan chuckled as Tom let go and opened and ground door with a ladder going down. When Dan and Tom reached a supermarket area, Dan wasn't prepared for what happened next. He was pushed against a pile of boxes by a blonde woman who held a gun to his face.
"You son of a bitch, we're all dead because of you" she said.
"Christie back off" said Tom. "Or pull the trigger, what would Anna think?".
Christie lowered her gun and began to cry.
"We're dead, all of us, because of you" she said, pointing at Dan.
"I don't understand" said Dan.
Connor grabbed Dan's arm and pulled him towards the clothing area.
"It was you, going through the city making as much noise as possible with a motorbike and a gun" said Connor.
Dan looked outside of the shop window to see a huge herd of creepers trying to get in, using rocks to try and smash the window.
"Oh my god" said Dan.
"Let's get to the roof" said Rob.
Once they had gotten to the roof, Tom looked over the edge.
"Guys there's more than last time" he said, surprisingly calm.
"What the hell are we going to do?" asked Christie.
"The tunnel" said Rob.
"What tunnel?" asked Dan.
"I used to be an architect, and we did some work on the City centre, there's a tunnel underground, maybe if we could find it there might be a way out" said Rob.
"Well it's worth a try" said Tom. "Come on let's go find it".
They all hurried down many hallways and Dan stopped when he saw the baby section, all of the little vest's were scattered all over the floor, it was a rather sad sight for Dan to see, but he carried on forward, trying to forget about all of those babies that could be out there.
When they got to a dark room with a hole in the ground and a ladder, they stopped.
"Well, here it is dad what do we do?" asked Connor.
"We need someone to go down there, who's first?" asked Rob.
Everyone looked at Tom.
Tom looked like he was about to protest, but he didn't.
"We'll be right behind you" said Christie.
"No, not you" said Tom.
"Why not me? think I can't?" she asked.
"No, it's just..if you want me to go into death hole, I will, but I want to do it my way" said Tom.
"We're listening" said Dan.
"Okay, if I bump into trouble I don't want you all jammed up behind me, get me killed and you guys..." Tom trailed off.
"Speak you're mind" said Dan.
"I'll take one person with me" said Tom.
Dan stepped forward.
"No, not you either I've seen how you are with a gun and I would prefer you and Christie to be in the clothing area, you both have the only guns" said Tom.
"Connor could be on the roof with the transmitter and I'll take Rob with me" he added.
"Okay, let's do it" said Christie.
Remember to review! ~Ella xx
