Armor Up...
After loading Tori's parents into the trunk of Jake's Raptor, they headed out.
The truck approached the hardware store slowly. The group examining it's surroundings for zombies.
"You see any?" Jade asked Jake, looking around the truck.
"No, you?"
"There's a few down the road a little."
"Yeah, but we could probably run from them if we had to."
"Yeah, I guess. Ok, how do we get in?"
"We'll try to get in through the door. Alright, Tori, Cat; Stay here, keep a look out, ok?"
"Yeah, ok. Be quick." Tori accepted Jake's order.
"Kk." Cat said in agreement with Tori.
"Aright then," Jade started, "let's go."
Jake and Jade got out of the truck and ran towards the hardware store. The sun was starting to go down, it was about 7 P.M.
When they reached the door, Jake tried to open it, but to no avail.
"Jade, can you get into this?" Jake asked Jade, hurrying her on.
"No, it's not locked. It's stuck from the inside." Jade informed Jake, strain in her voice from attempting to push through the handle.
"Ok, let's look for a window."
"There's one that's boarded right over there." Jade pointed at the window a few feet away from the door.
As they started towards the window, a distant gunshot was heard.
Jade looked out towards where it had sounded.
"Was that them at the house?" Jade asked, panicked.
"No, the house is in that direction." Jake pointed towards the house, which was about 90 degrees to the left of where the gunshot had came from.
"Alright then, ok. So how are we gonna get in without attracting them?"
"I don't know. Maybe we could bust it. But that would probably create a good bit of sound."
"Umm, Beck once told me about a plug thing that broke windows pretty easily."
"A sparkplug?"
"Yeah, yeah I think."
"Seen it work on car windows, but assuming this windows is made like it, it's worth a shot."
"Alright, can we get one from your truck?"
"No. I plan on driving that in the near future. Maybe one of the abandoned cars has one."
"Ok. I don't know what it looks like, so I'm going to tell Tori and Cat what were doing. You start looking for it."
"Alright." Jake agreed with Jade's plan and started running towards one of the broken-down cars.
"Hey," Jade began to inform Tori and Cat of the plan, "me and Jake are going to try to find this spark thing inside of one of the cars to break down the window and get in. Stay here, we wont be long."
"Kk." Cat confirmed with Jade and Tori.
Jade ran off to catch up with Jake, who had already pulled the sparkplug from the car.
"You... you got it?" Jade asked, out of breath from the sprint.
"Yeah, sort of. We need the porcelain inside. We can get it when we get to the window."
"Alright, let's go." Jade stated in confirmation.
They ran towards the window at full speed. When they reached the window, Jake dropped the sparkplug to the ground and smashed it with his foot, picking up a piece of porcelain.
He aimed it at the window and threw.
Success!
The window busted in, creating more noise than they would've liked.
"Yes!" Jade whispered in exclamation.
Two walkers deep within the store turned to the window, noticing the sound.
"Let's go." Jake commanded, stepping through the window.
When they got into the store, the place looked mostly untouched.
They approached the tool isle to find some weapons.
"Look," Jade exclaimed, pointing out the scissor section, "industrial scissors!" She grabbed out 3 pairs of scissors and stuffed them into her back pack.
Jake opened up his bag and grabbed 2 hammers, 8 knives, and 2 pairs of industrial scissors.
After about 2 minutes of collecting supplies, Jake met up with Jade back in the tool section.
"This should work, right?" Jake asked, opening the bag up to Jade.
"It'll have to, look." Jade pointed out the two walkers approaching them.
"Shit!" Jake whispered, handing Jade a knife.
"Think you can take the one on the left?" Jake asked Jade, who was now ready with her knife.
"Yeah, worry about the one on the right." Jade ran towards the left walker, Jake following behind her.
Jade grabbed the left one's right shoulder to use him as a balance as she plunged her knife through his forehead, throwing herself and him onto the floor.
Meanwhile, Jake was holding the beast off as it pushed him into a shelf. It had knocked his knife out of his hand and onto the floor.
Jade looked back at Jake, and ran towards the flesh-eating woman, grabbing her with both hands and pulling her off of Jake, to throw her into the shelf, knocking it and the zombie over.
"Jesus, Jade... thanks." Jake thanked the goth as she helped him up. He ran for his knife and picked it up as fast as he could. By the time he had turned around, the zombie was already back on it's feet and walking towards them.
Jade ran to the side of the corpse, to grab her from behind and pulled both her hands back, holding her for Jake.
Jake ran up to the walker and, using both hands, stabbed the zombie into the skull up through her chin.
He pulled the knife out as Jade dropped it to the floor.
"God damn." Jake exclaimed, taking a moment to breath.
"Can we go now?" Jade asked, still stunned by the fight.
"Yeah sure." Jake confirmed with the nervous girl, ripping his knife out of the rotting corpse's head.
They ran towards the truck, practically throwing themselves in.
"Are you ok?" Cat asked, checking Jake for injury.
"Yeah babe, I'm fine." Jake assured Cat.
Putting the truck in reverse, Jake backed out of the parking lot. As he put the truck in gear, he heard a distant explosion.
The group looked out of the windows to see jets flying over the city.
"They're dropping napalm!" Jake explained, shocked by how early they had started the bombing run.
"We have to go!" Jake stated, speeding the truck towards the house.
"What about my parents?" Tori asked, frustrated.
"We have to bury them later, if were caught in those bombs, were toast. Literally."
"Well, how soon can we go?"
"Actually, let's go now. We should be able to get there by the time they're done bombing."
They turned around to drive out towards the orchard, following Tori's directions.
When they arrived at the orchard, the bombing was done. And for once all day, things were actually peaceful.
The hills of Hollywood were so beautiful at night. It was almost like nothing had happened, well except for the lights being out. Until they looked back at the truck. The stench of rotting corpses in the air.
"Well, Tori. Where do you want to bury them?" Cat asked as Jake and Jade pulled the bodies out and placed them on the ground.
"Just over there. I don't need any words or anything. Just bury them and let's go."
"Alright, that's fine. We'll get it done." Jake replied as he pulled out the shovels they had grabbed back at the hardware store.
After about 15 minutes of digging, they put the bodies into the whole, and covered them with dirt.
They all piled back into the truck, Tori crying and resting her head on Cat's shoulder.
Jake put the truck in gear and drove off.
Alright, I got my word thingy fixed! :)
It was doing some sort of error with my OS, it gave me an error when I tried to launch my word program, but it just went away and I could continue writing. Sorry it's a bit short, but I've had a pretty stressful morning. Anyways, just read it and the next one will be a bit longer. But I'm prolly gonna stop posting for a few more days. But, you know the next one will come soon. This one was a bit more action-packed. Man, it's so hard to convey the whole serious fight thing and action-related moments. Maybe that's why a lot of Victorious FFs don't have a lot of action. Or I just suck. But, you can prolly tell that a lot of this was taken from the Walking Dead game. I've been playing it recently, as I NEED to get up to Season 2.
Anyways...
Review and shit!
