Chapter 3

I walked into a hallway of nothing but the walls and the floor. So you could say the detail was very boring... I pointed my gun up anyways so I could check the hall that went 2 ways, left and right. I walked towards the left and told the others to do so too. It was a long narrow hallway that basically turned right to a closet. I stood there looking stupid... I mean, a closet? What could be in a closet? Some janitor crap? I didn't bother to look at it any longer so I turned around for a moment and heard something come back from the closet in return. I looked at Bam and Julie with a puzzled face for a sec and then turned around. I heard noises come from the closet constantly now and soon I was beginning to realize that there was something in the closet. Now I held my gun hard and had my finger ready on the trigger. Yes the gun was now embedded in my arm but I can still have it out. I forgot to mention that earlier but back on subject. Now I knew something was in the closet. I signaled for Bam and Julie to get ready. I nodded and turned the handle and saw the most vile thing ever known... This man was laying on the floor with this other girl and both were being eaten up. I saw about ten zombies on both of the people. They were taking the guts out and ripping it up. The zombies took out their brains and hearts and started to devour all internal organs. The smell was awful but I had to think fast because the second I aimed at them, they heard my gun and turned towards me like they were gonna' feed on me next.

" Shoot!" I yelled.

The zombies screamed and hissed at me while running towards me with their long, messed up, ugly nails and tried scratching at me. I shot mostly at the head and most died but one was smart enough to actually grab at my ankles and drag me down with it. All the zombies started to jump on me and try to eat me but my crystal glowed and released a electric shield on me so every zombie died. It was amazing... I felt like Demontor was trying to keep me alive so I can help him. It also felt like some how we were getting stronger together. I definitely was getting stronger thanks to Demontor. I got up and saw that both Bam and Julie had a shocked expression. They were surprised to see what had just happened. I was surprised too. I didn't expect Demontor to help me with my protection but he did and I'm glad.

" Thanks, Demontor..." I said gracefully.

" Your welcome..." he said back.

I got up off of the floor and grabbed my gun. I was proud to be a part of Demontor. I felt as if an angel was helping me do this whole mission to basically save the world. It was nice having all these gadgets and stuff but we all know that in the end, something will happen...

I returned to my normal self and said, " Let's go..."

We had no time to waste so we were practically jogging down the long, tiring, hall that came to the back of the storage room. There we no signs of people except for a bottle of water. There were a lot of boxes though and much of the space in the storage room was taken up. But anyways, I walked towards the bottle and picked it up.

" This bottle is warm and is half full... It has to have been drunken not too long ago. That means that there are some people here..." I said.

" Then let's go farther into the store and see if we can find people." Bam said.

" Let's see," Julie said looking around, " maybe there is a way we could use to get into the store without having to attract any zombies..."

I looked at this vent right across from us.

" Hey guys! I found a vent we maybe able to fit through!"

" Really?!" said Julie.

" Yes, really..." I said sarcastically.

" Oh..." she said back.

We headed towards the vent, anxious to see what would happen next but we noticed something wrong... What could we use to pry it open? A screw-driver wouldn't work and so wouldn't a flat-head, so what? At that moment, I had an idea. The boxes in the storage room must have something that could help.

" Hey guys, let's check the boxes for something we could use to pry the vent open!" I said.

We looked urgently for we knew what could happen to those people in the store if we didn't. I found a lighter and immediately got an idea. Maybe I could use the lighter to burn a way through the vent but I would need some hairspray to help.

" Guys! I found a lighter!"

" So?" Julie said.

" So, find a hairspray can 'cause I got a plan..." I said back.

Bam and Julie looked quickly. Bam found hairspray in the back of a box and said, " Got it! Now what?"

" Give me the hairspray and give me that tape that's right by the bottle on the floor." I ordered.

" Okay." Bam said.

Bam grabbed both of the items and gave them to me.

" Now if I combine them," I said while putting the tape around the lighter and hairspray, " I should be able to melt the vent and cool it off with the water in that bottle so we can use the vents to get inside the store."

" Kay." Bam and Julie said in harmony.

Julie got the bottle ready, I set the lighter up, and fired at the vent. A big flame arose from the object I had created from two items. It worked! The flame had melted the metal and left nothing but molten, hot, metal. Julie used the last bit of water and splashed it onto the metal, cooling it down and making it like in a frozen-like stage. We started to climb in the vent with me first, then Julie, then Bam after and you already know what he was doing... Staring at Julie's butt! It was hysterically funny. I was cracking up even though I didn't see it. I just knew he was doing it and by now I knew Bam. I mean, how could you not? It's right there in his face and I bet he liked it. And just how you knew it was going to happen, he slapped her a**. Bleh! It was disgusting and gross. I mean that they're kinda' old and shouldn't be doing that stuff to each other, shouldn't they? Anyways, she slapped him in the face and said, " Remember, we're divorced!"

I stopped and thought for a second. Then I asked, " I thought you said you guys were married!"

" Well... We were going to get married."

I was straight up confused.

" Look... We're still divorced but we want to get back together again so...yeah..." Bam said.

" Oh..." I said still a little puzzled.

We continued straight in the vents which lead us into more ways to go through the vents. Luckily, we took the right way or else we'd be in the wrong side of the store. As we came to the end of the vents, I heard lots of yelling and screaming plus all the moaning from zombies. I also heard gun shots, which I thought would have attracted even more zombies. I climbed to the end of the vent and saw what was going on... A mob of zombies had came through the back of the store and somehow managed to get there through a simple doorway filled with some stuff to barricade it. The stuff didn't hold much support in this matter. It looked like they used simple stuff to barricade the doorway. No wonder why and how the zombies got in. But I noticed a big table that was there too. Probably Bam's cousin put that there... I started to wonder how smart Bam's cousin was. I bet he's pretty smart. Most likely he made the best of things ever made as well as Bam himself. Anyways, I looked down to a shelf we could jump on that was high enough so the zombies couldn't reach us.

" Okay, here's what we're going to do. We're going to drop on this shelf under us and get in a battle-like position so we can check and secure the area. 'Kay?" I said like a military officer.

" Affirmative!" Bam said.

" Alright!" Julie said.

I was the first one to drop down and Bam was the last. We were standing just like I told them we were going to do. I had a feeling that we were going to become best friends. All of us. Including new comers, even if I don't know them as well. We were going to become unstoppable. Anyways, we heard a moaning sound and looked around. I saw one zombie and quickly shot it. Bad decision. A mob of these things came out of nowhere and tried reaching us but couldn't so we started shooting them like crazy. More and more kept coming. We knew immediately that we couldn't stay there much longer judging by the way that the zombies were trying to knock us down. I looked to my right and saw more shelves.

" Guys! I'm going to try to jump towards that shelf towards my right, okay?" I said.

" I don't know about that, Scar... You have the risk of falling." said Julie concerned.

" I'll be fine..."

I jumped and made the biggest mistake yet...
