Hey guys. I'm back with another chapter. Sorry about the last one being so short.
Also I would like to add, my brother Simon, or SimonSeville101 wants to be lazy and take 3 months and not write any fanfics. But if you guys help me convince him otherwise, that'd be great. Just send him a lot of PMs telling him to NOT take 3 MONTHS off of writing. Thanks :)
Anyways, on with the story.
Alvin slowly opened his eyes. He could hear screams and gunshots from the chaotic streets of the city. The humvee had plowed right into the side of the car, causing them both to crash into a window store on the street. Alvin regained his thoughts, slowly. He looked out the window and saw people still running. The city looked more wrecked than before. More buildings seemed to be on fire, or collapsed.
Alvin looked to his left. Brittany was out cold in the passenger seat. He looked in the back. Theo was spread out across the back seat, but Eleanor wasn't there. The back window was broken.
Alvin unbuckled his seatbelt. He felt the cut on his forehead, fresh blood running down his face. He climbed over and pulled Brittany out of the seat and into his lap.
"Brittany, Baby wake up" he said, shaking her
Brittany let out a soft moan and put her hand to her forehead. Alvin sighed with relief that she was ok. He pushed the door open and stepped out of the car. He stood Brittany up and let her lean against the car while she regained her thoughts. Alvin climbed into the back seat and shook Theodore awake.
Theodore snapped awake and sat up straight.
"What happened? Where's Elle?"
"I don't know, we gotta go" said Alvin, climbing out of the car
Theodore climbed out of the car and looked around at the chaotic streets of the city. Alvin looked at the car, the entire front end demolished and squashed like a bug by the humvee. The humvee was still there, stuck up against the chevelle.
"Guys!"
Alvin turned and saw Brittany standing at the back of the car. Alvin pulled his gun from his belt. Theodore reached through the broken window and pulled his rifle from the back seat. Alvin and Theodore walked behind the wrecked car. Brittany was standing there, shaking and pointing forward. Alvin looked up and saw what she was pointing to. He lowered his gun and his eyes widened. It was one of those things, but it was..
"Ellie!" Theodore yelled, walking towards her
"Theo no!"
Alvin grabbed him and pulled him back. Theodore looked at Eleanor again. SHe was pale, her eyes were plain white, and she had blood all over her.
"Ellie?" Theodore took a step forward
Theodore stepped on a broken piece of glass, making a crack sound. Eleanor turned around and snarled. She ran and tackled Theodore.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Theodore dropped his gun and used his arms to push Eleanor up. SHe tried to bite at him.
"Ahhhhh Ellie stop!"
Alvin hesitated, but then aimed and fired his gun. The bullet hit right into Eleanor's shoulder. She fell off of Theodore, onto the ground. Theodore crawled backwards, away from Eleanor. Eleanor stood back up and charged at Alvin. Alvin pulled the trigger again.
Click
Alvin's eyes widened. He looked at his glock and realized that the slide had stayed back instead of going forward again, meaning there were no bullets left in his gun.
Eleanor tackled Alvin to the ground. She snarled and tried to bite Alvin's face. Alvin tried to push her off, but she was too heavy.
Bang!
Eleanor fell off of Alvin, onto the ground. A pool of blood forming underneath her. Alvin looked up to see Brittany holding the Beretta 9mm with both hands, trembling, and tears leaking from her eyes. Alvin got up off the ground and quickly took the gun from her hands and pulled her into a tight embrace. Brittany broke down in tears.
"Shhhhh it's ok, Britt"
Brittany sobbed into Alvin's shirt. Alvin looked over to see Theodore, kneeling next to Eleanor's body. Quiet sniffles could be heard from him. Alvin heard loud noises coming from outside the wrecked store. He let go of Brittany and looked out on the street. He saw all the military trucks driving down the road at full speed. Machine guns on top, firing rapidly. Behind them was two M2 Abram tanks, firing their cannons at herds of the infected.
Then Alvin looked behind the tanks. His eyes widened as he saw the massive army of zombies headed down the street. The tanks continued to drive away from the zombies while firing rounds into the herd to try and kill off as many as possible.
Alvin turned on his heel and ran back into the store, through the large gaping hole in the front, caused by the wreck. The humvee half sticking out of the front wall.
"We gotta go!" said Alvin, grabbing his gun off the floor
He slid a fresh clip into the gun and switched the slide forward. He grabbed Brittany's hand and ran for the back of the store.
"Theo come on!" he yelled
Theodore looked back, he turned back to Eleanor and kissed her hand.
"Goodbye Ellie"
He turned and grabbed his M16 off the ground and followed Alvin to the back of the store. Alvin looked around and found a door and pushed it door led to an alley behind the store.
"Theo, watch Britt, I'll take point" he said, taking Theodore's rifle and handing him the pistol
Theodore nodded and looked around the alley. Alvin walked ahead and looked around the corner, aiming the rifle. Seeing only a few infected wondering around the street, far away from them, he signaled Theodore and Brittany to follow. They ran across the street, into another alley. Alvin found a door and tried to open it. The door wouldn't open. Alvin rammed hard into it, it still wouldn't budge.
"It's locked" said Alvin
"Ummm Alvin?"
Alvin looked over to Theodore. He was standing guard at the end of the alley watching the street.
"I think you made too much noise" said Theodore, looking back at 5 zombies headed towards the alley.
"Shit" said Alvin, trying to open the door again
"Come on"
Alvin tried kicking the door. Nothing.
"Alvin, they're getting closer" called Theodore
"Fuck it, they already know we're here" said Alvin
He aimed his rifle at the door knob and fired 4 rounds into it. He raised his leg and kicked the door open.
"Let's go!"
Theodore ran from the end of the alley, into the door, followed by Brittany. Alvin pulled the door shut and pushed his body up against it.
"Theo, go find something to hold the door closed, quick!"
Theodore nodded and ran to go find something. Alvin tried to keep the door shut. The zombies kept pushing it open a crack, before Alvin rammed it closed again. Brittany stayed back, away from the door. The 9mm in her hand, just incase.
A zombie pushed the door slightly open and poked it's head through.
"Aggh, I can't get it closed" said Alvin
Brittany thought quick and aimed her gun and shot the zombie's head, making it fall back out of the pushed the door shut again. They heard what sounded like a car. Alvin looked back and saw a little silver toyota headed right for them.
"Shit!"
Alvin dived away from the door. The door opened slightly before the car rammed into it, smashing it shut. Alvin got up off the ground and picked up his rifle. The car door opened and Theodore stepped out.
"Haha, nice thinking, little bro" said Alvin, patting him on the back
Alvin looked around. They were in a parking garage. A few cars parked inside. One of the cars looked like..
"My truck!"
Alvin ran to the truck. It was his truck. He looked inside. It was empty. There were blood stains on the driver's seat. And the driver side window was smashed.
"Where's Simon and Jeanette?" asked Brittany, shaking
"I'm sure they're fine" said Alvin, looking in the back
"They took the bag of guns with them, they should be fine"
Alvin leaned against the truck for a minute. After all the rush, his body needed a rest. He set his backpack down and pulled out a water bottle and chugged it down.
"We have to find Simon and Jean" said Brittany
"We will, Britt, we will" said Alvin
He put his backpack back over his shoulder and grabbed the rifle.
"Let's go"
Alvin walked ahead while Brittany and Theodore walked behind. Alvin found a door that said Stairway B on it. He opened it and looked around. The coast was clear. They climbed the stairs until they reached the 1st floor. Alvin peeked through the door. They were in some sort of hotel lobby. Dead bodies of zombies were on the floor.
"Somebody had fun" said Theodore, making Alvin chuckle
Alvin saw a big sign behind the clerk desk that said Pegasus Apartments.
"Hey"
Alvin recognised that name.
"This is the building where Danny lives"
"Finally" said Theodore
"Let's get to his place" said Alvin, holding up the key
Alvin ran to the elevator. He pressed the button, but nothing happened.
"Shit, no power except for emergency lighting. Looks like we're taking the stairs"
"What floor does he live on?" Brittany asked
"The 42nd"
Theodore's jaw dropped "Kill me now"
"Come on" said Alvin, starting up the stairs
They walked up the stairs, floor by floor. Having to stop every few minutes so Theodore could stop before he died from exhaustion. They finally reached the 42nd floor. Alvin took point down the hallway, holding his rifle up and watching for any infected. He peeked around the corner.
"That's it" said Alvin, pointing to the door at the end of the hall. 42-8
They walked to the door. Alvin went to put the key in..
"What the fuck?"
The doorknob had bullet holes all around it.
"What the hell?" said Theodore
Alvin readied his rifle and pushed on the door. The door slid open slowly. Alvin stepped in, rifle in the air. Theodore followed with his pistol. Alvin heard voices coming from the other room. He looked back at Theodore and gestured for him to be quiet. Theodore nodded and followed Alvin. Brittany silently closed the door and stayed behind.
Alvin followed the voices to a closed door. He listened, but all he could hear was muffled voices.
"We don't know who, or what's in there" Alvin whispered
"I got an idea" said Theodore, sneaking off
He came back with a small cylinder in his hand.
"I've seen these in movies"
"A flash grenade, nice work Theo" Alvin whispered
Alvin positioned himself and pulled the pin on the grenade, without letting go of the handle so the grenade wouldn't go off. He nodded to Theodore. Theo nodded back and cocked his pistol.
Theodore stood and fired 2 shots into the doorknob and kicked the door in, then stood back behind the wall. Alvin let go and threw the flash grenade in the room.
Bang
Alvin and Theodore entered the room, guns trained. They looked at who was in the room. Their eyes widened.
"Simon!" yelled Alvin
"Jeanette!" yelled Theodore
Simon looked up from falling on the floor. He still couldn't see. As his vision returned, he could see his brothers.
"Guys!" he yelled, standing up and giving them a hug
All 3 brothers joined in a hug.
"Umm hello?"
They looked and saw Jeanette, sitting on the bed, rubbing her eyes.
"Jean!"
They looked and saw Brittany run in and hug her sister. All 5 of them quickly joined in a hug.
"We thought you guys were dead" said Simon
"Yeah, we had to run from those...things" said Jeanette
"Yeah, let's just all be glad we're alive" said Alvin
"Not all of us" said Theodore, tears forming in his eyes
"Oh...I'm so sorry Theo" said Alvin, giving his brother a hug
"Yeah, where's Eleanor?" asked Jeanette
Alvin looked at Brittany. She sighed.
"Jean, we need to talk" she said, taking Jeanette into the other room
"Well, what now?" asked Simon
Alvin thought for a second..
"I guess we just wait and see what happens. Who knows, maybe this whole thing will end soon"
Simon stood looking out the giant window in the room, down at the streets below.. "I sure hope you're right"
