Chapter 3: Unlikely Comrades

08:00 AM 10th May 1995

Lydia meanwhile was heading down the side of the streets she had ended up on. So far everything was quiet but she could hear the noises of zombies nearby. She turned a corner and was confronted with a horrifying sight. It was a crashed school bus on fire with several zombies wandering around it. The buss driver was hanging out of the front window and was on fire. But as she approached, gun raised she saw him move and slip out, he was one of those crazies too, and was still moving despite being on fire.

'Oh come on, this is totally fucked.' She thought angrily as she readied her handgun.

Just as she did so she heard another noise and looked over her shoulder. More crazies only these ones had red skin and clawed hands and were moving much faster.

"Shit, shit, shit." She cursed angrily as she pulled out her second handgun and began firing at both groups.

The groups rapidly began to close in on her and she found herself backed up against a wall. She was panicking and had to reload her weapons twice. Luckily the group was dwindling in size as more and more of them dropped dead. However the bus driver was now approaching her and, reacting on instinct, she leapt up and grabbed the drainpipe above her head before wrapping her legs around his head and snapping his neck.

Before she could drop down however, two more zombies grabbed her legs. She began to panic again, knowing that if she was bitten she would turn into one of them. She freed one of her hands and opened fire on the zombies; however that only slowed them down until one of them died. Her gun was empty and she had no time to reload so she used her free leg to kick the zombie away from her, it worked. She dropped to the ground and emptied her other handgun into it. Once it was dead she reloaded, holstered her handguns and pulled out her shotgun. There were now only four crazies left, three of the red skinned ones and one of the normal ones.

"Come and get it fuckers." She challenged and they charged at her.

She opened fire with her shotgun, killing them and blasting the head off two of them.

"Thank God that's over." She breathed a sigh of relief and holstered her shotgun.

Unfortunately for her it wasn't over as she heard a loud noise and turned, only to find herself pinned under a strange feral creature. It had green scaly skin along with razor sharp claws and teeth.

"What the fuck?" She screamed, "What is this?"

It reared up and raised its claws when a loud blast sounded and it flew black, having been struck in the chest. It began to spasm on the ground before a second blast struck it and killed it. Lydia straightened up and looked around and finally saw the one who rescued her walking towards her.

The one who rescued her was a nineteen year old Caucasian man with short messy black hair and teal eyes; he was dressed in a simple pair of black jeans, a white T-shirt, white socks and red sneakers.

"Hey, are you okay, miss?" He asked, Lydia nodded, "I'm fine, who are you?"

The man smiled and introduced himself.

"Carlos Hernandez, horror movie genius extraordinaire." He said proudly, "My knowledge of horror movies has actually been useful for once, given the state of the city."

Lydia was confused by his statement.

"Wait a minute, are you saying these people are…zombies."

Carlos nodded and Lydia sighed, "Well, given their behaviour, I guess you're right. Listen, I've got a friend who's looking for survivors, I was gonna meet her at the school, you wanna come along?"

"Sure thing, oh by the way, if we run into any zombies, shoot them in the head, that's the weak point. For the Hunters, those green things, it's the chest, right before they attack."

Lydia nodded and continued on with Carlos, taking in the information he gave her about the zombie's weak points. They soon got a chance to test out the knowledge as a pack of Cerberi and three zombies attacked them, using the knowledge she had gained Lydia was able to make headshots and kill them.

"Looks like you were right," She said, Carlos beamed, "Of course."

They continued onwards, searching for more survivors.

As they travelled onwards they hear a distinct growling sound which made them freeze.

"What was that?" Lydia breathed, Carlos gulped, "I've heard that before, it's a beast with a really long tongue, I've heard it being called Licker."

Lydia groaned, this couldn't get any worse. Then suddenly they heard shouting.

"Argh, what the fuck, get off me, get the fuck off me!"

They hurried around the corner and saw that the Licker was attacking someone. They quickly opened fire on it, it growled and turned towards them. They both grabbed their shotguns and as it lunged they fired, blasting it in the face. It fell to the ground dead and they approached the person it was attacking, he stood up, glaring. The figure who had been attacked was a seventeen year old Caucasian boy with a toned build, messy medium length black hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in a pair of brown jeans, black sneakers a grey T-shirt which read 'Fuck You' and had an image of a hand giving the middle finger sign on it.

"Thanks I guess," He said to them, "I could've handled it myself thought."

Lydia and Carlos shared a look; it was obvious that this boy was going to be a troublemaker.

"All the same, we rescued you, I'm Lydia, this is Carlos and you are?"

"John Mason, so, you guys are survivors, looking for a way out huh?"

They nodded and he sighed, "Alright fine, I'll come with you. I know there's a better chance of survival if I'm with someone."

They agreed reluctantly, due to his attitude, and, readied their weapons. John used semi-auto handguns and an assault rifle. Finally ready they continued onwards, heading for the school.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
