Chapter 4: A Deadly Enemy
09:30 AM 10th May 1995
Lisa and Jacob continued to head down the street.
"We're nearly there Jacob, just hold on." Lisa said comfortingly, Jacob nodded, "R-right."
They noticed that most of the zombies they had seen were no direct threat. They were on other side of the barricades but Lisa knew they were not likely to stay on the other side. Finally she felt blessed relief when she saw the school.
"Finally, we're here Jacob, let's go."
He nodded and together they hurried over to the front steps of the school.
"Lisa!"
Lisa spun around, Jacob hid behind her but Lisa smiled.
"It's okay Jacob, they're friends." She told him as she watched Lydia approach with two other survivors. Lisa smiled and holstered her gun.
"Glad to see you made it." She said to Lydia who nodded, "Likewise, who's this?" She asked when she saw Jacob.
"His name's Jacob, his family's already become zombies, I couldn't leave him alone." Lisa explained, the younger of the two with Lydia sneered, "You should have."
Lisa turned to face him angrily, "Excuse me?"
Lydia shook her head, "That's John, the other guy's Carl."
Lisa nodded but also noticed that John looked like he wanted to say something but was keeping quiet.
She turned and glared at John.
"What's your problem, just say it." She snapped at him.
He glared back and then gestured to Jacob.
"Why the hell did you bring a little boy scout like him along, he'll just slow you down." John explained, Lisa shook her head, "I'm not abandoning him, he needs our help, that's all that matters."
"Oh yeah, look…" John was about to start when suddenly a loud crashing noise caught everyone's attention.
They looked around wildly and then Jacob saw it.
"Hey, over there!" He cried, everyone turned and saw the largest monster they had ever seen.
The monster standing before them was at least eight feet tall; he was bald with grey skin and red eyes. He was clad in a pair of black combat jeans and a long grey trench coat.
"What the hell?" Lydia gasped, Carl gulped, "Guys, that there is a super weapon."
John shook his head, "Just what we need. How in the hell are we supposed to kill it."
Jacob was trembling now and Lisa stepped between him and the monster.
"I don't know, but we can't let it hurt Jacob." She said, Lydia nodded, "We'll just have to be careful, let's go, it's coming for us."
As if on cue it turned and began to advance towards them.
Lisa immediately grabbed Jacob and hid him behind a pillar directly next to the school's main entrance. The others had scattered throughout the area and were firing their best weapons at the beast, Lisa hurried to join in. As she did so she spoke to Jacob.
"Just stay here Jacob; we'll keep that thing away from you." He nodded and Lisa joined the others, opening fire with her submachine pistols.
However much to her surprise the monster just did not react the shots being fired at him, not even the headshots. He then turned towards her and drew back his fist. She ducked just in time, narrowly avoiding the punch as it hit the truck behind her. Punching right through the side of the truck.
'What the fuck?' She thought, 'How strong is this thing.'
It pulled its fist out of the truck and interlocked its fingers before raising both hands above its head.
"Lisa move!" Lydia yelled out as Lisa rolled to side and backed away as quickly as possible.
The monster swung its arms down and both fists carved the truck in half.
"What the fuck is this thing?!" John asked as he continued to open fire on it. The monster then turned towards him and charged at him, aiming a shoulder tackle.
"Uh oh."
John dove out of the way s the monster slammed into the building behind him. Making a huge crack in the brickwork before it turned back to face them, not even fazed.
Lydia shook her head.
"Guys, I don't like this one bit." She said warily. Carl nodded.
The monster began to walk forwards again and they unloaded even more ammo into it. Finally it stumbled and fell onto one knee and breathed heavily.
"Think we got it?" John asked. Carl shook his head, "No, this is just the beginning; it's coming for us again."
Sure enough the monster stood up again and continued its advance.
"Guys we can't beat this thing." Lisa stated, the others nodded and then Jacob called out. "The doors to the school are open, if you can stun it somehow then we can get inside and hopefully get away."
Lydia sighed, "Best plan we've got, let's go."
They opened fire again and were forced to scatter as the beast attempted to punch them. They continue to fire, staying close to the steps leading up to the school until finally the monster was knocked down again.
"Let's go, Jacob get inside!" Lisa called out.
They all ran up the stairs and by the time the beast recovered they were gone, having hidden themselves inside. It looked around briefly before turning and walking away. From a nearby rooftop a shadowy female figure watched.
"So, they've escaped the T-103. Looks like drastic measures will have to be used to eliminate them."
With that she turned and walked away from the roof ledge.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
