Chapter 14

The group turned back on the route, Sonny and Chad holding hands and making up for lost time. Portlyn and Tawni discussed nail-polish, and Alexis quietly sat, with no one to argue with. It seemed empty without the little one, but they didn't want to think about that.

After saying goodbye to Chad's mom, the five of them started heading back out to the restaurant. During the night, the action hadn't stopped at all, with high winds, torrential rain, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, hail, and landslides. The teens didn't get too much sleep, with constant guard switching. But compared to the things they would face over the next day… well it wasn't terrible.

"Guys, the restaurant is a block away!" Sonny yelled at the rest of the group, who was complaining because of the snow now stinging their eyes. It never snowed in LA, but now it was. The blonde boy smiled and lightly kissed her. Alexis groaned.

When the blizzard had lightened up enough so they could see the building, they started to run. It was only 9:00, so it wasn't open yet. "Oh man!" Portlyn complained, fluffing her hair as she ran. "I hoped we could get some food here! I like this place!

Everyone else groaned, running as well. But their happy reunion with the next clue was rejected when a loud growl escaped from the back of the building. It grew and grew. "Are you a group leader?" Sonny asked, rummaging through her bag.

He nodded. "Why, what are you…" His voice trailed off when he looked in the bag and saw her fingering the gun. "Do you know how to use it?" He asked, beginning to find his as well.

"Yeah, I'm sure I can. How the hell did Mr. Condor get guns like this anyways?" Sonny asked. She hoped it didn't look too awkward, her hand sticking in her bag. Chad was doing the exact same thing. The brunette motioned for everyone to move towards the back, and they did. Behind the building, three odd looking people stood behind, grinning evilly.

But these were not ordinary people. They looked extremely dirty and decayed. Sonny clamped onto Chad. "Are those… zombies?"

"No, zombies don't exist, Sonny." He said reasonably. But when the zombies attacked them, he panicked. The three ran, and when one opened his mouth to attack Portlyn's head, he stuck the gun in his mouth and fired the trigger. The zombie instantly collapsed and began to bleed out. And because zombies are stupid never learn, Sonny easily shot another one that tried to eat her head.

However, Alexis had disappeared. "Alexis?" Tawni screamed out, looking around for any sign of the girl. But when they found her being dragged away, a zombie chewing on her head they knew she was probably gone. Still, Sonny ran to rescue her.

"Are you really trying to save her?" Chad asked, twirling his gun and throwing it back in his bag. Sonny glared at him and began running again.

"If I can save a life, I'm going to do it!" She screamed at her boyfriend. Running quickly towards the girl, she watched as her body became limp and blood and guts began spilling out of her head. The zombie looked happy, but Sonny knew she wouldn't let him get away with it. Putting her gun in her pocket, she stood around looking innocent. The stupid zombie ran towards her, drooling. When his mouth opened, the teen pulled out her gun and stuck it in his mouth, firing it. Then she threw her weapon in her bag and ran back to Chad.

This is when what had just happened hit her, and she began sobbing. "What's wrong? Portlyn asked, frowning at the crying girl while her boyfriend held her.

"I killed someone, damn it!" She whispered to the boy holding her. "The zombies."

He shook his head. "They were already dead, Sonny. You just let their souls rest. You did a good thing, okay? Now let's find a clue." She nodded and began walking around calmly, wiping away tears.

"I hope we're in the right place." Tawni muttered.

The next ten minutes were spent looking for the rock that would hold their next clue. It wasn't Sonny or Chad who found this one, but Portlyn. It was written out on a piece of paper taped to the back of the building. "Guys, I got it!" She called out, jumping around happily.

Now that you have found clue three,

There's something you should see.

5 blocks north, three blocks east,

Turn 50 degrees, and last but not least,

Walk fifteen steps towards that way,

Don't get distracted by the play.

Chad all grabbed the piece of paper. "Let's go." The boy commanded, and they were on their way.

Ten days until my last update, I know. And I'm really sorry about that! I was busy… (procrastinating) …and didn't get time! Today I was watching the news and the weather for today was sunny with a chance of showers. I laughed because I didn't know people actually said sunny with a chance of _ anymore. Oh yes, Does anyone get where I got the zombie fighting strategy from? I'll reference it once again later… it's also where my profile picture is from. If you do, please review! If you don't… still review, okay? Anyways… DISCLAIMER TIME!

Disclaimer: You know, there's a bunch of things I'd just love to own, okay? And so I asked for them for my upcoming birthday. However, seeing as I have a few more weeks until that happens, I own nothing yet. SWAC is property of Disney.
