You know, I'd love to Google your Yahoo so you can Twitter on my Facebook XD

Zacky Vengeance has some pretty awesome tweets... and he's fucking hot IMO ) I love Avenged Sevenfold. Am I taking some of their song titles and making them titles for my ACTs and Chapters? Yes, yes I am. So I credit Avenged Sevenfold's song titles for my Act I title: "The Wicked End" and the chapter "Unbound" are song titles, and in one of the chapters I said "Trashed and Scattered", so yep, I'm a Avenged Sevenfold fan girl nut bag. I'll probably use more of their titles, but so I don't get blocked I'll say that I don't own those titles.

You know, if you don't know what Seattle looks like, you can go on Google maps, it does an awesome job. I lived in Seattle for twelve years so I know everything about it.

Either way, this chapter is going to be a bit different than the others one where I'm switching from group to group. This chapter just focuses on Casper's group, and the next chapter just focuses on Phil's group. It'll probably rotate like that for now on.

As for the question of the day yesterday, I said DON'T PICK YOUR OWN CHARACTER as your favorite, that's pretty shitty and I said I'd name you a bitch. But because I like you guys, I'll be nice and not do that. Either way, enjoy the chapter.


Chapter 6: Into the City

Florence saw herself in a dream as a child. Everything was a dark gray and she seemed to just be hovering there, her body reflecting below her. She was smaller and much frailer back then, with her pink hair gone and back to its original blond. Her gray eyes drifted left, then right a bit frantically as she watched a light show up in the distance. She appeared in her house standing straight up as she looked at her mother and father. They laughed joyously around her older brother, completely oblivious of her presence.

She moved her lips to call out for them, but nothing came out. Florence grabbed at her throat, wondering what was wrong as she called out to them again.

They completely ignored her... like they always do. Her parents revolved around her older brother, they barely knew she existed. So the young girl stood there, watching as they continued to gather around him. That's when things suddenly became haywire.

He looked over at her, and his appearance changed completely. His eyes rolled up, a bit glassy, blood dripping from them. His blond colored hair was oozing red and his body looked limp and mangled. Florence stood still in horror as she watched him move closer and closer, staggering over to his younger sister like a zombie himself.

Florence's brother stopped before her, and her usually calm and laid back expression was replaced with fear and anguish.

He Screamed, "Perish With ME!"

The eighteen year old's eyes flew open, awakening her from nightmares of the past. She looked around, sweat beaming down her face while she was slightly panting. Florence sighed out of relief when she saw she was still outside on the truck and everyone was OK.

Florence rested her head back down before she realized whatever she was laying on was moving up and down. It was also soft and warm. Her face turned red when she heard a male's voice suddenly say, "You nice and cozy down there?"

She turned her head and saw Casper looking down at her with a devious smile printed on his face. Florence had rolled onto him and used him as pillow during her sleep. "While you were sleeping, you were breathing all heavy and hugged up on me. I see you wanted some of the Cass - Master," he teased.

Florence wasn't about to give him the pleasure of making fun of her though, as she replaced her shocked and shy look with a relaxed one. "Well it all depends, did you enjoy the feel of my body against yours?" she purred jokingly.

Casper's cheeks turned red as he opened his mouth to say something back; but Jake walked over and interrupted the two. "What the hell's going on over here?"

Florence shot up as she faced Jake with a friendly expression. "Nothing you think is going on," she responded.

Jake's eyes went from hers to Casper's as they could feel the tensions blowing up again. "Relax hot head, we weren't doin' nothin'. Besides, what were you, Alice and Connie doing in there all night?" Casper questioned him. Jake pouted as he breathed crisply. "Exactly, not fun being accused of things we ain't doin'," Casper barked.

Connie and Alice walked up to the car as Alice banged her tonfas on the metal of Casper's truck. "Enough guys," Connie spoke.

"Now it's morning and the city looks just as crappy as it did last night. We need to figure out where we need to go because we can't stay out here too long, it's not safe."

Casper raised his hand as everyone looked over at him. "I was thinking we could go back to my place," he suggested.

"Why your house?" Jake questioned him. For once, Casper wasn't in the mood to argue with him as he looked Connie dead in the eyes with one of his deathly glares. "I live pretty close by; it wouldn't take long to get there, and I'm staying at my Aunt's house. She's a lot richer than my parents. I mean... we don't live in a mansion but it's two stories and pretty wide. That's plenty of space to take camp for the time being," he explained.

Connie and Alice nodded in slight approval, showing that they get the logic of that. Jake disagreed with Casper just to disagree with him. He really despised Casper.

"I think that's a reasonable idea," Florence sided with him. "How about you guys?"

Alice placed her thumb to her lip as she bit on it lightly. "I think that sounds like a good idea too," she said.

"Yeah, seems legit," Connie also agreed.

Jake gritted his teeth in silence as everyone literally shook hands on it. It was settle, they're next destination was Casper's house.

Jade woke up from her lovely slumber as she rose up like a zombie. "Before we do anything..." she yawned, "Can we get some food, I'm starving."

No one really realized how hungry they were until she'd brought it up. No one's eaten since yesterday and the hunger was starting to cave into their stomachs, making it almost impossible for them to want to do anything super active and physical.

"There should be a corner store in town," Florence said.

Casper clapped his hands together as he walked over to the door to his car. "Alright then, first we'll go get some food, then we'll stop at my place," he said.

Everyone nodded as they went back to the cars they'd been in. Casper buckled his seatbelt as he started the car up, watching as Florence and Jade settled in their seats, taking deep breaths. "Are you guys ready?" Casper asked.

Florence was about to reply when Jade shot in between them, bat in hand and a cocky smile on her face. "You know it! Onward we go!" she pointed up ahead.

Casper smirked as he placed his hands on the steering wheel and began to drive down the road, Connie following him from behind.

They drove down a long road as Seattle grew more and more near. Every now and then they'd pass abandoned cars, Zombies gnawing on people, or a survivor or two dashing for their lives. The group thought about stopping to help but they weren't ready to pick up people from the town. God knows what kinds of people are running around now, Casper thought. They've yet to run into someone else driving a car however. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? He thought.

The sun cast behind the city buildings, making the surroundings a lot darker than it is. There was dense air between everyone; no one spoke a word because they felt fear of what was the come next, from the new journey of their quest began.

A journey into the city of Seattle.

They drove under the highway, and up above they could hear cars moving, a horn honking every now and then. Casper looked around as he saw a car collided into the wall of a building, flames and smoke coming out of it.

Casper took a left and out from under the highway as the light shown through the buildings, almost blinding them.

The group drove down a road through the urban area a little detached from the actual city and downtown. Windows were broken, more cars crashed and bodies lying around, all coated in a mess of blood. But there seemed to be no sign of the dead.

"Where do you think they all are?" Alice asked as she looked over at Connie. "I don't know, but as long as they're away from us I can deal," she said.

"What about the soldiers that we saw? Where did they all go?" Jake asked.

"Damned if I know, probably dead or in hiding," Connie responded. She took a left around the corner and followed Casper's truck as they pulled to a stop near small gas station. Some of the gas was leaking in a hazardous way and the store doors were wide open.

The cars halted as they came to a complete stop. Casper looked around before stepping out of the car. He grabbed his bat and went outside; The air smelt of decay and burning building, making it almost too hard to breathe in. Casper watched as Connie stepped out of the car and made her way over to him. "So now what?" she asked.

"How about you and Jake head in and gather whatever food and water you can gather. You guys can take my backpack-"

"Wait, wait, wait! Why does Jake have to come? We're both already standing out here," she protested.

"Because I have a raging headache from last night... and I said so. You know, I don't have to let you into my house. Now just go," he ordered.

Connie grumbled something to herself as she walked over to her car, peaking through the door. "Jake, let's go," she said.

Jake gave her an almost disgusted look as he crossed his arms. "Why do I have to go?!" he shouted.

"Shh," Connie told him, "Casper doesn't want to go in and you're the only other man here, so you're coming with me," she told him. Jake was about ready to argue but Connie cut him off by giving him a glare that could even shut the likes of him up. "Fine," he said childishly.

Jake grabbed his guitar and stepped out of the car while Casper approached Connie again. He handed over his now empty backpack and his baseball bat.

"Take this," he said, "It seems more helpful than a chair leg."

Connie gripped onto the baseball bat and she nodded softly. "Thanks, let's go Jake."

The two of them cautiously moved towards the store, not hearing a sound for miles. Connie stepped closer to the door as she slightly pushed it open, revealing a pitch black corner store with fallen down shelves and food, also a pool of blood. "Shit, do you have a light on you or something?" Connie asked. Jake gave her a look that read 'Are you stupid'.

"Does it look like I carry that type of stuff around?" he asked rudely, "Dumb bitch."

Connie really wanted to punch him but she held herself back as she brushed her brown hair behind her ear and fixed her blood covered uniform. "I'll just use the light on my phone. It won't light up much, but it's enough," she said, taking it out her gray skirt pocket while she turned it on. It barely lit up anything, but it was enough for them to see the fallen shelves of food and daily products. Connie almost shouted when she saw a dead body lying near her feet, completely ripped apart. Well that explains all the blood, she thought, but who or what did it?

"Alright let's make this quick. Just grab food that we can snack on and won't rot easy... but try not to grab all the junk food," she informed.

"Whatever," Jake replied.

The two of them took small steps through the store as they looked on the floor for any editable food. Their shoes crunched on broken things, and the store smelt like rotting bodies. Connie coughed as she covered her mouth, looking around for anything they could get a hold of.

Connie stopped at a standing shelf as she saw bags of chips sitting up, some of it spilled on the floor. She walked up to it and began packing it into the bags. Connie turned to Jake.

"Do you mind looking for maybe a pack or two of water bottles? All this food won't mean a God damn thing if we get dehydrated," she told him.

"Alright," Jake replied. The seventeen year old boy pulled his phone out as well as he used it as a flashlight. He shined it around and climbed through the rubble, looking for something to clinch their thirst. Connie could hear him walking and it was making her uneasy because every sound she heard him make was translated into one of Them in her mind. Jake suddenly bumped into the shelves, knocking a glass jar on the ground as it clashed onto the plastic like flooring. It shattered in an instant.

Connie yelped as she jumped up, looking behind herself as she saw Jake looking down at the mess he made. "Dumbass," she said under her breath.

The girl turned her head to finished packing the bag with food. That's when it all went wrong.

Connie shouted loudly and Jake could hear a loud thunk as he whipped around, clutching the guitar in his hand and gritting his teeth. "Fuck!" he swore as he ran over to the source of the noise.

There on the ground lay Connie on her back, fighting off one of Them who appeared to be a former worker. He had his arms wrapped around her neck as she tried to push him off, his jaw clamping together. She shouted again, tears streaming down her face. "Help me!" she cried.

Jake lifted his guitar like a golfer and growled as he ran up to the zombie and swung at it. The zombie crashed into the shelves, knocking things down along with him. Jake ran up to it and beat its head in. Connie sat up as she stared at its corpse and her savior, aggressively wiping the tears from her eyes.

Without thinking she sat up and gave him a giant hug. "Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" she shouted, embracing him tightly, but in the same way softly and compassionate.

Her eyes shot open when she realized what she was doing as she backed away, going to pick up the backpack filled with chips and canned fruits. "D-Did you find the water?" she asked, trying to sound serious.

"Y-Yeah... there's some back there," he cleared his throat.

The two of them rushed to gather their things as Connie gathered the last of the food and Jake carried out two packs of, eighteen bottled waters.

They walked out separately and put everything in the trunk of Connie's car. When they finished they climbed back into their seats and gave Casper the thumbs up that they could start driving again. Connie's car was filled with a impenetrable silence as Alice sat there looking at the both of them. "So," she said. "What were you guys doing in there-?"

"Nothing!" they both said aggressively.

Alice stiffened up as she sank into her seat.

"OK then..."


In my honest opinion, I really didn't like this chapter, I was just rereading going... this is bull crap.

I don't get why they're so embarrassed, it was just a hug. :P

Either way, guess who's going to my school dance alone, this girl! I'm the definition of forever alone. I've never had a boyfriend in my life, and I kind of gave up looking so oh fucking well. That doesn't mean I don't get crushes. And I currently have a crush on a certain someone who doesn't like me ;)

Hope you all liked the chapter. I got a cold... again... and I'm on my period... again! So the next chapter might be lagged but here you all go. Question of the day (Lazersword88 I'm taking this idea from you, hope you don't mind, love you!), if you're character were to have a theme song, what would it be? Casper's is Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold... later on in the chapters you'll see why :) You guys should listen to it!

See you all laters!
