A/N: I had a strange dream last night about my having sex with Lilly and then with Kate. Jeez, I must be too addicted to Alpha and Omega.
Humphrey slapped in a mag into assault rifle while Alberto cocked his UMP45, Luis loads his short-barrel .357, and Carez loading up his Spas-12. The four were going to head out into the city to find two more survivors trapped. Humphrey and the rest were about to leave when Kate stopped him. "Humphrey, don't do this" she had a scared look in her eyes.
"There are other survivors in the city. We need more strength to make it through the country" Humphrey informed her. "But you said it yourself: whatever happened in the city isn't worth going in" Kate brought up. Humphrey held her paw and spoke. "This is more important right now Kate, we'll be in and out" Kate leaned in to Humphrey, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Be careful" she said before pulling away.
Humphrey then turned back to the guys and led them to one of the jeeps parked behind the RV. But before they did, Alberto picked up his son and handed him to Lilly. "Take care of him while I'm gone" He told her before walking back with the rest. Lilly held Cesar in her arms, while watching his father joining with the group.
Humphrey then started the jeep and drove it around down into the forest towards the city of Denver. Lilly stood there for a moment before walking with Garth towards the Lake they found.
Humphrey drove the jeep down the dirt road and ended up on the road again. "Where'd they say they were?" Luis asked, sitting behind Humphrey. "They said they were on top of a roof of a market. It's about 3 blocks away from the edge of town." Humphrey explained to him.
"We better make this quick, I want to get into the lake already and wash up." Carez said. Humphrey smiled a bit from the joke. He continued driving down the road that soon led to a ramp heading into the city.
But while they were heading to the survivors location, they didn't know that they being watched from above. A satellite view showed of a bird's entire view of Denver, and then zooms in on Humphrey and the guys. Then it zooms out from them and moves over to the right to where the camp was and zooms in on the lake, where everyone, in inferred vision, and sees them all next to the lake.
"Where you going John?" Jade asked him, who was walking to a small boat with a fishing pole, a net, and small box. "Gonna catch us some dinner for tonight" John answered as he climbed into the boat and paddled away from the shore. Jade, Kate, Lilly, Susie, and a few girls from Alberto's gang were sitting on chairs along the shore of the lake. Garth and some of the guys were busy watching over everyone while they enjoyed themselves.
"We finally find water after months of traveling. Guess there is hope" Matthew said walked over the water and washing his face, feeling the coldness go down his face and muzzle. Just then they splash from the right of them. Everyone looks to see Hager coming to the surface of the water and looking up at the cliff in front of him. "You're next Salty" he said at Salty, jumping off the cliff and landing in the water, in a belly flop.
"OOHHHHHHH!" everyone said, seeing Salty landing hard on the water on his belly in snapping sound. Some of the girls laugh to see Salty landing in the water. As Salty reached the surface, he sees Shakey sitting up against a tree, looking down at the ground in fear. "Hey Shakey, you feeling okay?" He asked. He didn't answer and just sat there, quiet.
Salty just ignored it and continued swimming around in the cool, refreshing water.
Humphrey stopped the jeep in an intersection of a road in the middle of what was left of Denver. "Jesus Christ" Alberto said in his Hispanic accent. "We gotta find the survivors and fast" Humphrey told the others and took off running, with everyone following them behind. They all ran for about 8 minutes when Luis tripped over something hard and metal.
"Luis, are you okay?" Alberto asked, helping him up to his feet. "Yeah, I'm fine amigo" Luis said back. Carez walked over to the metal that Luis tripped on and examines it. The metal was a hollow piece of heavy metal. The piece had yellow stripes on one side of it and had some sort of tail part at the end of it. Then Carez pulled off the inside of the piece of metal some sort of black powder, before smelling it and recognizes the smell.
"Hang on, this is…" Carez was interrupted when they heard shouting coming from behind them. Carez turned around to see a dark black wolf holding a double-barrel shotgun running with another black wolf with red fur streaks on his back, holding a UMP45 with a silencer and a sword on his back.
"You Lake?" Humphrey asked. The black wolf, Lake, ran up to them. "Yeah, this is my partner, David" Lake said introducing the black wolf with red streaks on his back next to him. "Nice to meet you David" Humphrey said shaking his paw and then shaking Lake's paw.
"So do you know what happened to this shit place?" Hager asked Lake "Not that I know of, the whole city was being overrun by crazy freaks, killing everyone everywhere. Me and David went to the subway to find shelter, but then something came over us and there were huge explosions going on around. Then we woke up from a daze and came out of the subway to see the whole town like this. Strangest thing was, there aren't any of those 'things' around here." He explained.
"We'll, we got a camp set up back in the forest about 3 miles away from here. Got food, shelter, and guns for u two" Humphrey informed them. "Great, we haven't had a good night's sleep the last three weeks" David complained. "Come with us, we got a jeep to take you there" Alberto said as walked off back towards the jeep.
Humphrey, Carez, Luis, Lake, and David followed behind him and turned around the corner to the parked jeep. But just as they were about to get closer, BOOM! Something flew down from the air and destroyed the jeep in pieces. This sent back the guys flying back on their backs and waking up in a daze.
Humphrey was the first one to get up to see the jeep on fire while everyone got up to their feet. "What, the, fuck, just happened?" Alberto asked. "Don't know, but whatever it was, it's taken out transport all over the city." Carez as he looked around to see every other car and truck destroyed, from the looks of it, from above.
"Great, just great" Hager said. Humphrey let out a sigh. "Look likes we'll have to walk from here" he said. Everyone groaned.
CJ jumped off the cliff and made a dive into the water before Clark jumping in a well in a cannon ball. "Alright Clark!" Janice said cheering him on. Then CJ rose to the surface behind Clark, only to get a fishing hook get caught in his ear. "OWWW shit!" he yelled in pain as he held his ear with the hook still on. "Oh shit, sorry CJ" John shouted from his boat, holding his fishing pole with the line hooked up to CJ's ear. "You gotta be more careful bro, shit" CJ said as he pulled the hook out of his ear and throwing back to John on the boat.
Some blood dripped from his ear and went into the water. What no one in the water realized is that the blood dropped to the bottom floor, where hundreds of dead bodies laid all around below them. John pulled the line back to him from the water, but as he was pulled the end of the line, bubbles came to the surface. John was surprised and decided to ignore it.
Lilly led Cesar to the shore of the Lake and watched him splash around in the water. "He's so cute, isn't he?" Lilly asked her sister. "He sure is" Kate responded. She watched Cesar laugh as he threw water around the place. "I wonder how Alberto managed to be a father while running as a leader of a gang." Reba asked the girls. "You'd be surprised how great a leader Alberto can be to us all" said a female wolf from Alberto's gang.
Humphrey and the guys ran as fast as they could back towards the camp site on their feet. It was a painful and exhausting run for about the last 2 miles. "Jesus man, can we stop?" Luis complained, sweat was dripping down face and back. "They pack is expecting us there already with the jeep. It's already enough trouble that we have to run all the way back." Humphrey spoke out as he ran, running out of breath.
"Where are you guys at anyway?" Lake asked. "We're near a huge clear lake about half a mile into the forest. Why?" Carez said. "I know where it is, there's a short cut heading into that direction that might lead into your camp" he explained. "Then lead the way my friend" Humphrey said as Lake took the lead of the group and headed straight into a different path into the forest.
A female wolf from Alberto's gang jumped into the water and swam pass CJ and Clark into the middle of the Lake. As she was swimming, she looked up and waved the water of her hair with the sunset setting down in the distance. That's when something grabs her foot and leaves a sharp pain behind. The female moves around and brings her foot to the surface, only to see her entire foot completely bitten off.
This leaves behind a spill of blood into the water, with no one ever noticing anything. That's when something swims up to her and pulls her down in a split second, and disappears out of sight. John turns around from his nap on his boat to see the fishing line starting to pull. He grabs the pole and reels in the line. The line starts to pull and then it snaps. John then starts to wonder why the line snapped. He pulls the line up with his paws and continues pulling until he sees the end of the line.
To his shock, he sees an eyeball hooked on the end of the line. "What the. . ." John asks but then he is interrupted when something jumps out of the water, snarling. John jumps back from the edge to see, a zombie, covered in seaweed and dirt, trying to grab John. He panics and pulls out a python, and pulls the trigger.
Everyone around the Lake stops what they were doing to the sound of the gunshot. That's when another zombie jumps out of the water and attacks John. He fires another into its head and falls back into the water. CJ and Clark panic as well and swim to the shore. As they arrive, something grabs CJ's leg, he pulls out with a zombie, covered in seaweed as well, trying to bite him. He kicks it off of him and stands up.
Lilly grabs Cesar from the water, right before it grabs him. Then Garth comes from behind and fires a shell into its head. "Garth" Lilly says. He looks up at the lake, only to see one zombie walk out of the water, then few coming from behind him. Soon more of them came from behind and walked towards the shore. "This is something out of a George Romero movie" Clark spoke. One zombie runs up to the pack, having Garth firing another round into its head.
Lake led the guys into the forest, when they are interrupted by a gunshot. "Oh my god" Humphrey said as he ran in front of group and left them behind. "Hey Humphrey, wait up" Carez yelled as he and the others followed him behind.
Three wolves from Alberto's gang were firing their pistols at oncoming zombies coming from the lake, only to get surrounded and eaten by them. Lilly covered Cesar in her arms as Kate shoot away three zombies with G18. Reba and Janice fired their UZI's at 6 more zombies crawling from the water.
Matthew and Clark were both taking out infected coming straight out of the water surface. John was paddling back to shore and knocked away zombies as they grabbed hold of his boat. "Don't touch my boat!" he yelled as he swigged the paddle into the zombies jaw.
CJ covered John as he made his way back to the shore and fired a round into a zombie coming out of the water. Two females from Alberto's gang shot at three zombies when one of them jumped from the water and attacked both.
"Garth, get the girls back to the camp and protect them" Matthew shouted. "Reba, get down!" Salty shouted as he fired his M01014 at a zombie behind her. "Salty!" she shouted. Behind him was a zombie almost attacking him, only to get its head sliced off by Shakey, holding an axe.
"Get Reba out of here" he told Shakey, who ran off and led Reba away from the attack. It was starting to get quiet after minutes of gun firing, screaming, and snarling. Susie was on the floor, backing away from a leg-less zombie grabbing her leg. Matthew came running out from the right and licked it away from her, then blasting a shell into its head.
Soon the gun firing stopped and stood quiet. "Is that all of them?" Garth asked, with the girls standing behind him in fear. It remained quiet for a moment after Garth spoke. When suddenly something big and muscular, jumped from the water, it had a huge wing-like single claw on its right arm. Everyone who was still alive had their eyes widen and got shocked by the sight.
Then the thing landed right behind Matthew and instantly impaled him straight through his heart area. "Matthew!" Susie screamed. The creature roared loudly and looked at the rest of the group. That's when it was starting get shot with bullets from the far right. Everyone turns around to see Humphrey, Carez, Alberto, Luis, and new Survivors Lake and David running at them firing their guns right at the creature holding Matthew.
The creature started to stumble backwards while still holding Matthew. The guys continue firing their guns non-stop. That's when the creature roared and dropped Matthew's body on the ground, bleeding. Soon its head was blown off by Lake's double barrel, where is dies and falls back into the water.
"Matthew!" Susie cried as he ran over to Matthew, who was bleeding from the heart and blood spilling out on the ground below him. Susie cried out her eyes as she sat there with Matthew coughing up blood. "S-Susie" he struggled. She down to see her love saying his last words "Don't cry, it's only going to make it worse." Matthew coughed up more blood. "Matthew I love you, please don't do this. Don't please" Susie begged, but it was already too late for him.
He then turned his head towards everyone looking at him. "You all have been a great group, and great friends. You all looked out for me and for each other, that's what brought this pack together" He said, letting out a small smile. Kate, Lilly, Reba, Janice, and Jade let out tears as they saw Matthew dying in front of them. "Humphrey" He turned to him. "You've got this group far enough, do whatever you can to get them out of this fucking country" Matthew told him, shaking. "I will Matthew" He said, letting out a single tear run down his face.
Then he turned back to Susie, who was crying till her eyes turned red. "Susie, please promise me something" He said holding her paw. "Get yourself to safety and start a new life with someone if you can" He said. "Oh Matthew" she said, kissing his bloody cheek. "Susie. . . . . .I love you . . . . *" Matthew's body stopped moving and his grip became weak. Susie just sat there, crying loud into his chest, begging him to come back.
As Susie was crying, Shakey spoke up. "I now remember my dream, why I dug the holes" Everyone heard what he said about what he did earlier.
Garth turned around behind him, looking at 6 of their group members dead and dozens of zombies dead all around them and in the lake.
A/N: Matthew and 6 other survivors are now dead. May they rest in peace.
