Heres Chapter 2 - hope you like it
Chapter 2
The BMW soon caught up with the coach , it was probably safer in numbers and with something like a bus not much could challenge it , especially not some crazy insane people. Soon they reached the freeway , it was evident that the insanity had spread , well not until someone dived off the bridge and landed in front of the coach. They got crushed immediately and blood coloured tire prints continued for a while after.
" Marrial , did you see that , how crazy was that ! " Steve gawped , almost laughing.
" My names Sam , don't call me Marrial I don't like it , it's too posh " Sam replied , trying to concentrate on the road and the coach at the same time.
In the coach window a face appeared , a young kid , he began to point and then some other people came to gawp at the BMW. The people were pointing franticly and shouting as loud as they could.
" What's with that ? What the hell are they doing " Steve asked Sam.
" I don't know " she replied , not as interested in what they were doing as Steve was.
" You think there insane , Ma… Sam ? " Steve asked , the two had known each other for a few months although Sam wasn't really who Steve though she was , Marrial was just her cover. Her name wasn't really Sam either , it was X5-188 , but she preferred Sam , and as long as Manticore didn't know she considered herself a normal person and that she'd given herself a name , it was fine. Besides , everything was messed up , so nothing really mattered any more.
Looking again the people were still pointing , one man got a gun and mimed shooting motions.
" Shit ! " Sam cursed and as she looked in the mirror her horrors where confirmed. " we've got a hitchhiker " she spat. Grabbing onto the wing of the BMW was a person , but it wasn't , it didn't look human anymore , it was like some kind of animal.
" Oh Christ , look at it's face , it's all bloody and horrible " he was staring at it from his seat and it started to bang at the glass with it's free arm. Sam pulled along the other side of the coach and swerved violently but the thing wouldn't budge , it held on tightly and was determined to get to them.
She put her foot down and pushed away from the coach then suddenly she stopped hard , as hard as she could. The person couldn't hold on and was flung off straight over the roof , it landed a few metres in front , so Sam swerved a little to avoid it as the car carried on.
" Warn me next time ! " Steve snapped , Sam wasn't listening she was to busy concentrating , carefully she pulled back along side the coach.
They continued along the road for some time and it was surprisingly un-eventful. Not even another car , no other 'people' either. But something wasn't right , Sam kept checking the mirrors but nothing was on board , the coach was fine apart from all the blood prints on it's side.
" Doesn't anything seem right to you ? " Sam asked.
" No , how come you told me your name was Marrial , it's kinda old fashioned " Steve said.
" Because I'm a genetically engineered soldier who was sent to get close to you so I could kill your father without it looking like an assassination. But it looks like he's going to kill everyone first " She said bluntly out of frustration.
" That's bull , your just a girl , you sure your not insane like those others " he replied , she hit him again , really hard this time.
" Bitch ! " he cursed. Then suddenly the bus began to swerve , very subtly at first but then it got much worse. Sam strained her eyes as the coach accelerated. Blood , on the windows ? Without warning the coach turned a sharp left and demolished the central reservation , which was metal. It came straight back over again and slammed the BMW hard before Sam could get out the way. She risked a look up to find a number of people , things , hitting the glass inside the coach , they weren't human no more.
" Put your foot Down Sam " Steve squealed. She was trying , but the coach was pushing against the BMW. Just as the BMW was about to hit the steep grass verge the coach careered to the left again. The sudden change in forces caused the BMW to shake violently as Sam tried to keep it in a straight line.
" Let me drive , it's my car I know it better than you ! " Steve argued.
" I doubt it , I'm a better driver than you , just hold on " she yelled back.
The coach came flying back and slammed the BMW hard again , Sam tried to brake but the rear bumper was jammed between the rear wheel of the coach.
" This piece of crap " she cursed. The white battered BMW was getting dragged along by the heavy coach and the next destination was a concrete support in the middle of the duel carriageway , which helped support the road above. Suddenly the bumper got pulled off the BMW , freeing it.
It spun out of control and came to a rest on the grass verge , the coach slammed into support and stopped dead with a loud sound of bending metal.
" Damn , I thought we were gunna get crushed , nice driving " Steve winked at her.
" Thanks " she smiled back nervously. Looking back Steve saw a number of people running from the coach , running after them! Sam quickly put the car in gear and sped off.
" Sam , where are we going , wouldn't it be better to head away from the city , were there's less people , a lot less people " he said.
" Yeah , but I need to stop and pick a friend up , if there still alive.
" I hope so , your not very good company , and you punch like a man " he replied.
" Thanks , I think " she smiled back , but it suddenly faded. They both were yanked forward and then slammed back into their seats. The Cars brakes screamed blue murder , stopping with inches to spare as a out of control 18 wheeler came barrelling down the bank , across carriageway. Unable to stop it carried on and disappeared through the trees on the other side of the road.
" Quick reactions " Steve choked. Sam put her foot down and the BMW limped off the bank and accelerated to 40mp/h , just before a flurry of people raced down the bank , their attention drawn to the BMW and they gave chase.
" We've got company Sam "
" They won't catch us , anyway we need to be more careful , we've just survived two near death situations , we should've died twice just now , so I'm not gunna just throw caution to the wind " she said ,breathing deeply.
" Fine , whatever , lets just get off the Freeway "
" Ok , but it won't be better anywhere else , if anything it'll be worse the closer we get to the Suburbs "
The BMW turned off down a side road and slowed even more , being careful not to crash. As they passed a house they spotted some people on the roof.
" Sam stop , there's people , we gotta help them " Steve insisted.
" No we don't " she spat. As they got into the suburbs they were shocked by everything , cars strewn across the road like toys , houses in flames , people running around , bleeding , crying , eating. Eating!
" Sam , that persons eat..ting someone , that's sick. What the hell happened here , everything's dead or dieing "
" Hell happened " Sam said dully. It was really hard to weave in between the cars , many crashed into one an other , an ambulance lay on it's side half hidden by the house it collided into. A police car swung round the corner only to hit an abandoned vehicle head on. He jumped out and started to run not noticing the BMW until he ran right in front of it. Sam didn't even flinch as she hit the man but tears had been gathering in her eyes for a while now , she just wished Dean was ok. The BMW swung round another corner only to find a horde of people running towards it. It screeched to a halt and began to reverse , dead hands slapping at the white bodywork. Steve was panicking , was this the end ? . Suddenly the BMW lurched forward and turned sharply forcing a number of people under it's wheels , adding to the cuts and scars they all had. The Windscreen suddenly fell in as a pair of hands slammed down on it. Class shattered everywhere , Sam had cuts on her knuckles and her hands were bleeding but she couldn't stop now. The hands of the dead grabbed at the Car as it sped away from them. But not soon after the Engine died and grumbled to a halt. The BMW slowly rolled to a stop.
" Great , just great " Sam stated in a miserable tone.
