(Thanks to Can't Get Any Better, angie2282, and mentosgoboom for your reviews!! I did say i won't be waiting around for the zombies, so this chapters is true to that. Also, you'll learn why these zombies are different from the others.)
"You see, when I defeated Death in my mind." Paige started. "He said something about 'The world's going to stay alive'. And I've been wondering... could all of this be because I killed Death? Would these undead be here if I didn't kill him? I'm starting to think that we should've just let ourselves get killed back then, and not avoided it. Like he said, we all had are allotted times, and we skipped it.
"Aww, shut up." Zach groaned, to the surprise to the others. He wasn't one to be rude to friends. "We escaped! We lived, why can't you just be happy? Sure, maybe you did cause this, but then, so what? It's done and dusted now, and there is nothing we can do. So I suggest you stop dwelling on the past, and start thinking about what the hell we are going to do."
"Thanks..." Paige said, grateful that Zach had said that, even though it was quite a blunt way to put it.
Tanzi leaned back on her chair and sighed, unconsciously rubbing her ankle. There was an extra lump of skin there that the surgeons had used from her thigh to patch her ankle up. "Do we just wait here? I mean, it is a fairly well defended place. We can board the windows up, and defend the doors."
"I agree." said Leslie, nodding. "We got food and drink, so we could live here."
"What are you talking about?" Paige asked. "There isn't any undead here, so we should just live like we normally do. You act as if it's all going to come down just like that." she clicked her fingers, and a loud smash was heard from upstairs.
All heads looked upwards at the ceiling. "Jeffrey!" Paige exclaimed, quickly making her way to the stairs, but was blocked by what looked like a cupboard. "What the hell..."
"Climb over it!" said Jeffrey's voice, which sounded worn. "These bastards are strong!" they heard another smash, and saw blood splash against the wall.
Tanzi gasped, holding a hand to her mouth.
Jeffrey land another shot with the knife, but the zombie didn't go down. It was covered in slashes, but was still demolishing the room. "God fuckin' damn it!" he cursed, trying the get the head. The zombie just groaned and hopped to the side, picking up and chair and throwing it straight at Jeffrey. Jeffrey ducked, and the chair smashed against the wall behind it, creating a reasonably sized hole. "They definitely weren't this strong in the movies!"
"We'll be there soon!" Paige shouted up. "Zach and Leslie are working on moving the cupboard."
"And you could help!" Zach called up.
"I AM pretty occupied with a – Oh, you son of a bitch!" Jeffrey looked at the zombie, which had just threw a prized vase at him. Jeffrey ran forwards, and tried to ram the knife through his head, like in the movies, but the zombie kept on moving fast. "How the hell can you be this strong!" he questioned, swiping back and forth with the knife. He wasn't trained in knife craft, and nicked his fingers every now and again.
The zombie unexpectedly jumped forward, snarling, and latched its teeth around Jeff's wrist. Jeff groaned in pain, but took the chance to dig the knife into the zombie's skull. He stabbed multiple times until the zombie fell to the floor, the head gruesomely split open.
Paige, Zach, Leslie and Tanzi finally got up, and gasped when they saw the body on the floor.
"Took your time." Jeffrey grunted, wrapping a towel around his wound on his wrist, which was bleeding badly.
"What happened to your wrist?" Leslie asked, finding an excuse to turn away from the body.
"The damn asshole bit me!" Jeffrey answered, searching through the wreck of the room for a first aid box.
"Bit you? Oh, don't tell me it's like the movies. They bite you, you become one of them." Paige said, biting her bottom lip.
"I goddamn hope not." Jeffrey said, taking a bandage out from the medical box he had found under the upturned sofa. "Otherwise I'm done for."
"Don't worry." Tanzi said. "We'll get you fixed if it IS a virus type thing. There isn't any guarantee that it is though."
"Good point." Jeffrey said, washing the blood off his wound, before wrapping the bandage around the wound. "Unless I die of blood loss. Why are they here though? It was only a moment ago I was watching the news saying that these undead were roaming other places. And now here? Why damnit. It can't relate to Death, can it?"
Paige didn't have to heart to tell him she might've caused it, so she decided to change the subject. "So, is that the only one here so far, or is there others?" she walked over to the open door, and looked outside. "Holy shit..." she commentated, and jaw falling opens.
The street was littered with zombies, just walking aimlessly. Some were even feasting on people she recognised from the cafe. 'I guess they didn't hear that other one then.' She thought, just as a groan was heard to her left. A zombie popped out to the doorway, and acting quickly, Paige slammed the door into its face, and barred the door. "Shit..." she breathed, holding her heart.
"What is it?" asked Zach, wondering why she had slammed the door.
"The streets are filled with them. It was only like ten minutes ago when they weren't here. They have come here so fast. Hell, from avoiding Death to fighting the undead. We're going to need a plan." said Paige, looking at the others. Jeffrey was panting slightly, his suit ripped, Leslie was standing there, avoiding looking at the body, Zach was standing normally, and Tanzi was pale, scared straight. She could handle believing in Death, but this? This was just crazy.
"Can't we stay here?" Leslie asked. And just at that moment, they heard a smash downstairs. "Oh man..."
The five knew without seeing that the zombies had just broken through the windows downstairs.
"To answer you, no, we cannot stay here." replied Paige, with a grim smile.
Jeffrey quickly glanced down the stairs, and gasped. "We're gonna have to think of something soon, otherwise we're gonna be dead meat."
"But where can we go?" asked Tanzi, chewing on the inside of her cheek.
"Isn't there an alleyway over the street?" questioned Leslie. "If we make a run for that, I'm pretty sure it comes out onto another street. Hopefully, there won't be many. Hopefully."
The others nodded. "I suppose that is the best thing to do." Paige said. "So, when do we go?"
In answer, the first zombie appeared at the top of the stairs.
"NOW!!" Zach shouted, being the first one to kick the door open.
(Oh No! jeffrey has been bitten, and we know what happens. Well, told you about the zombies XD Hope it worked well thanks again, and til next time!!)
