Ok, this was a day late, but when i was writing on Friday it just wasn't right and it sucked. So I waited 'til tonight to finish. I don't like the beginning part that much, but the rest is pretty good.
Disclaimer: as usual, i own nothing but the story. Square and Disney own the rest. too bad...
We turned around, watching as the zombie jumped and sailed towards us. The petite blonde's eyes widened in fear and I realized what I needed to do. Just before the creature hit us, I pulled Namine and I flat against the bed and watched as it smashed against the wall. A sickening crunch and a terrifying scream was all that was heard.
I let go of the girl and slowly walked towards the zombie; she sat on the bed watching silently. Quietly, cautiously with my gun raised, I poked it with the barrel. Big mistake. A clawed hand hit me right in the chest and I flew back against the bed. My gun skidded against the floor behind the zombie.
The zombie screeched again and ran towards me and I braced myself for the onslaught, raising my arms above my head protectively. But the blows never came; instead, a loud sound rang out across the room and the creature stopped dead in its tracks. Well, as dead as someone who was already dead could be. It fell to the left and another bullet pierced its body.
"Double Tap." My savior spoke. Namine was standing behind where the zombie once was and the gun in her hands was still smoking. Her mouth was a straight line and her beautiful blue eyes were determined.
"Thanks." I muttered as she extended a hand out to help me up, which I gladly took.
"No problem." A slight grin was gracing her features.
"Hey, uh, do you want to come with me?" I asked abruptly.
"Where?" she tilted her head to the side curiously and looked so cute doing it.
"I'm heading towards middle America because, apparently, there's some camp there full of people who are immune like me. You are immune, right?"
"Uh, sure, I'll come! It gets so lonely out here. But about being immune…I don't know. I didn't get a shot, and I lasted this long, so I think I may be."
"Alright, cool. Come on!" I grabbed her small hand and ran out of the building.
Suddenly we heard screams and screeches and shouting from all over. Things started going bump in the night and I realized we were surrounded; we just couldn't see the demons as they were hidden in the shadows. I searched the ground for a weapon of any kind, anything to help me defend Namine and I.
"Do you want this back?" she whispered to me.
"No, keep it. You're going to need it.
"RAHHHH!" a zombie ran towards us at a blinding speed, but fortunately I found a crowbar, swinging it in an upward arc right into the jaw of the zombie. Its head snapped back and it fell to the ground.
Then hell broke loose. Zombies ran at us from all directions and Namine was firing shots left and right. I hardly had a chance to breathe as I virtually had no time to stop swinging the crowbar. But the damn things kept coming.
"Crap!" I heard Namine yell.
"What?"
"I'm out of ammo!" I saw her swing the pistol into the head of a zombie but nothing happened; she didn't have enough strength. The zombie brought its claws down at her and she put her arms up for protection. The claws raked against her flesh and she cried out.
"Namine!" I yelled as I fought my way towards her, furiously swinging my crowbar at anything that was in my path. By the time I reached her she was about to be clawed through the face. I screamed as I stabbed the crowbar through the chest of the zombie. I swung the zombie away from Namine and kicked it off of the crowbar before bashing the thing over the head a few times. Black blood splashed and pooled.
I ran back to her and assessed the situation: it was dark; zombies were all around and wouldn't let up; Namine was injured and I didn't know how badly; finally, we had no bullets and my arms were getting tired fast. We were fucked. Crouching next to Namine, I held her forearms to get her attention.
"How bad is it?" I asked
"I-it rea-"
A roar sounded from above us and when we looked up, a zombie was jumping out of a window right above us. Crap. Just in time I swung the crowbar in a large arc and hit the zombie as it was falling. The body followed the path of the weapon and slammed onto the ground, smashing its head and spilling blood.
That little display acted as a catalyst and the then calm zombies attacked again.
"Jump on," I bent down, "we're leaving." I told Namine.
She nodded, hopped onto my back, and wrapped her arms around my neck to keep herself in place. I picked up my crowbar and started running out of the area. Zombies followed; some where running behind us, while others were jumping around on walls and dumpsters and roofs. What was even better was that more and more were joining during the makeshift marathon. I sharply turned and a corner and...dead end. We were trapped.
My foot slipped on something and I almost fell as I backed into a wall. When I checked, it was a chainsaw. Fuck yeah. I set Namine down calmly behind me and revved the weapon when I saw the zombies rush at me.
I cut through the creatures as they ran to the slaughter of my blade and then I saw it. The zombie was at least 8 feet tall, super muscular, and looked angry as hell. And it was rushing towards Namine and I with the intent to kill.
I revved up the chainsaw once again and calmly walked towards the creature as it charged for us. Maybe I was walking straight towards death, but I was going to have some fun before I died.
With one more rev of the machine I raised it high and ran right towards the abomination before me.
Another cliffhanger? I hate me too, lol.
The thing charging towards it is based off of the commercial for the original Left 4 Dead where the Tank charges towards the survivors and knocks the other zombies back and all.
Song of the chapter:E-Pro by Beck. if you listen to it, it might not seem like a good song for the chapter but in some weird way I think it fits. Something about the music itself and even some of the words do.
how was it? well that's what the review button is for!
