Chapter… 15
"Five blocks north, let's move it!" Portlyn commanded. The other four hadn't seen the girl this interested in anything in a long time.
Tawni didn't move, but instead took out her phone. "This isn't a time to be texting." Sonny told the blonde girl, who shook her head.
"I'm not texting, I'm finding which way is north." The teen said simply, studying her phone. Moments later, she pointed up the street. "It's that way. Let's get a move on!"
The four shrugged and began walking in such a fashion. A few who dared to attempt the trek to work walked slowly down the streets, the snow changing to hail and the wind picking up. A rumble shook the ground, and a nearby worker fell into Portlyn. The worker apologetically smiled, thanking the teens and continuing on her way.
"Chad, you're scared, aren't you?" Sonny asked, hugging him as they walked. He shook his head in denial.
"Why would I, the great Chad Dylan Cooper, be scared?"
She just gave a small laugh at his ego. "You're scared; I see it in your eyes. But we're all scared. We're probably all going to die. But on the bright side, at least you have nice eyes." She told him, holding him tighter. He just smirked at her comment.
Portlyn and Tawni, however, managed to break through the two of them and turn right onto another street. "Keep it moving, you two! We're in the middle of an apocalypse here, ya know?" Portlyn rudely commanded.
"And when we die, we need lipstick!" Tawni exclaimed, feeling her lips. "See my lips? They're dying without my special lipstick!"
But Chad just laughed. "Okay, we'll walk faster! You just had to ask, you know." But their fast walk was cut short by a scream from Portlyn, who had tripped over something. That something also let out a small scream.
And soon after, the teens saw who it was. This person on the ground was Chasity. Blood poured out of her head, seeping through her clothes and dying them a bright red. "Last… one…" The girl struggled to say, before coughing up even more blood.
"Wow, she's actually lasting a long time!" Tawni exclaimed nervously, watching the girl quake and stutter in pain and fear.
Sonny, however, had something else on her mind. "Call an ambulance!" She commanded, but being the stupid group they were, nobody else had their phones charged. So she took her phone and began calling 911.
"Stay with me, Chas!" Chad had begun commanding, slapping her in the face and attempting to use his scarf to stop the bleeding. However, her eyes were fluttering closed.
"Stay with me, Chas!" Portlyn yelled, beginning to cry. "Chasity, don't die on me!" But her breathing was becoming shaky, and her heartbeat was going weird.
This time, Sonny came over to her. "Chasity, there's an ambulance on the way! Don't die on me!" But the teen would never hear again. She, like so many others, had gone onto a better place.
Tawni walked around the body to Chad, Portlyn, and Sonny. "What did she mean by last one?" The blonde girl asked shakily.
Chad thought for a moment, before coming up with his shocking realization. "She was probably the last one alive in her group. I bet everyone else is dead."
This idea was met with stunned silence. "No way. I won't believe it." Sonny whispered, but deep inside she knew it was true. They weren't alive, were they?
"Let's at least move Chasity's body out of the sidewalk." Portlyn insisted. The group picked up the feet and moved her body into a misty alleyway, staring at her as they left. "Poor girl." Portlyn muttered. "I'll miss her."
The other teens nodded and began walking on their way again, stopping only when Sonny got a slightly happier look on her face. "A park!" She announced.
Sonny began to run towards the playground a few steps away. "It's got to be here, the next clue! It's a place to play, right!" She excitedly ran towards the play set, but was halted by her phone ringing. The number looked slightly familiar, but she couldn't tell what it was from. The only thing more shocking than that she actually had cell reception was the text itself.
You and Chad should watch out; one of you won't make it out alive.
*Sighs* Not my best work, I know. I've killed pretty much everyone off now, haven't I? Anyways, school is starting up soon… *hears boos from crowd* yes, yes, I'm not too happy about it either. However, I will try to update on a weekly basis still. And happy back-to-school, everybody! Please review, it really makes me smile!
