Chapter 2: Escaping the city
Aaron Woke up to see the sun rising up from the top of the School roof. He looked around to see everyone else still asleep. "Man I guess yesterday wasn't really a dream after all" said Aaron. Aaron was about to get up but then noticed Maddie asleep next to him with her arm around his. "Oh yeah hehe I almost forgot" said Aaron blushing. Aaron started to slightly nudge Maddie. "Psst Hey Maddie wake up" whispered Aaron. "*Yawn* morning already" said Maddie, Maddie opened her eyes to see that her arms was still around Aarons arms. "O-oh im s-sorry I d-didn't m-mean to" said Maddie blushing. "Its alright your fine Maddie but hey its a beautiful day outside today" said Aaron. "Yeah but I guess the whole Walker situation wasn't a dream after all" said Maddie. "Yeah your right but we need to get everyone up cause we need to get out of the city now" said Aaron.
After about five minutes later Aaron and Maddie woke everyone up. *Yawn* what time is it" said a tired Gumball. Aaron pulled out his phone. "Its about 8:10 am" said Aaron. "Wait a sec your phone is still working?" said Jamie. "Yeah it runs on a battery" said Aaron. "Then call for help" said Darwin. "Cant the phone lines are down, see it says no service on my phone" said Aaron. "It wasn't like that yesterday" said Tobias. "The Walkers must done some damage while we were sleeping" said Danny. "Speaking of them are they still all out in the front of the school?" said Gumball. The group looked over the edge of the building to see not very many down on the street. "No theirs not a lot down there the gunfire from last night must have led them away from here" said Aaron. "So what are we going to do Aaron we cant stay up here forever" said Penny. "That's why I have a plan to escape the city" said Aaron.
Just the Penny's little sister interrupted. "Excuse me but im hungry" said Lucy. Everyone looked at Lucy. "Well shes got a point Aaron what are we going to do for food?" said Malcolm. We'll have to get down to the cafeteria...if its not overrun" said Aaron. "Please excuse me for stating the obvious but how are we going to get down to the cafeteria or even out of the school when you locked the door with that lock" said Teri. Aaron started to think. "Hmm there might be some bolt cutters in Rocky's supply closet along with tools we could use" said Aaron. "but how are we suppose to get down their" said Carrie. "Leave that to me, Now Danny im going to need you to help me with this" said Aaron.
"What really?" said Danny. "yeah man aren't you hungry cause I sure am" said Aaron. "Yeah you got
a point but what if the cafeteria or even the entire school is over run?" said Danny. "Well we'll find a
way out and leave this city" said Aaron. "Alright sounds like a plan" said Penny. Meanwhile Penny's little sister Lucy was wondering around on the roof. Lucy went behind the door that leads to the roof to find a tool that looked like some sort of trimmer. "Whats this?" said Lucy picking the object. Lucy then dragged the object over to the rest of the group. "Look Man your not taking our guns" said Mark. "Yeah forget it Aaron" said Jamie. "common we'll give them back I promise" said Aaron. "Yeah man they wont get a scratch" said Danny. "Um Mr. Aaron" said Lucy interrupting. "Lucy don't interrupt" said Penny.
"Its alright Penny shes fine. What is it sweetie?" said Aaron. "I found this tool but, im not sure what it is" said Lucy showing the tool. Aaron and Danny's eyes widen. "BOLT CUTTERS WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE!" shouted Aaron and Danny with joy. "I found them behind the exit" said Lucy. Aaron took the Bolt cutters from Lucy. "These could break the lock that's keeping that door shut great job Lucy" said Aaron patting Lucy's head. Lucy giggled and Aaron walked over toward the Roof top door. "If this works then this could make our plan 100 percent easier of accomplishing" said Aaron. Aaron then Started to cut the lock chain with the bolt cutters. It looked pretty tough but Aaron Finally cut the lock from the door. "Alright guys we are leaving now are there any objections on why we shouldn't go" said Aaron. Everyone looked at each other but no-one spoke up. "Alright then Stay close to me
and if they're Walkers in the building then stay hidden, stay really close and most importantly try not to make noise" said Aaron. Aaron then opened the door that descended back down to the school. "Alright everyone lets roll out and Danny" said Aaron. "Yeah?" said Danny. "I need your help on getting the group out of this school so get up in the front with me" said Aaron. "Ok" said Danny a bit surprised.
The group opened the door to the hallways of the school with a horrified look on their face. Everywhere they look the saw a lot of blood, blood writing on the wall, dead bodies and a terrible stench. "Aw man it stinks in here" said Gumball. "I know we'll be outside soon but we got to keep moving and find Rocky's supply closet" said Aaron. "But I thought we already got bolt cutters" said Penny. "Unless we have stuff to defend ourselves then we wont last a second on those streets" said Danny.
The group walked down the bloody hall way with their guard up in case a walker appeared. Everyone was staying calm, but Teri however was losing it from the blood and guts everywhere and she was holding on to Malcolm's arm. "A-aw man t-there's g-g-germs everywhere" said Teri in a frightened tone. Malcolm blushed. "Its alright Teri im here and we'll get out of here soon" said Malcolm.
Malcolm has had a very big crush on Teri since his first day at Elmore Jr high and Teri likes him a lot too because they both want to be doctors when they grow up and they both hate germs. "If it makes you feel any better I still have hand sanitizer in my pocket" said Malcolm.
Teri Smiled at him. "Wow thanks Malcolm, your really sweet you know that" said Teri. Malcolm blushed and Mark turned around with an annoyed look on his face. "Will you two girls stop being such sissy's especial you Nerd, before those things hear us" said Mark. Malcolm hung his head down, he hated being called a nerd,geek or even something worse, he is one of the smartest kids at Elmore Jr. High but he hated having his feeling being hurt. "Don't let him get to you Malcolm your a really nice guy and don't you forget that" said Teri. Malcolm looked over at Teri and smiled. "Thanks Teri" said Malcolm.
"Alright guys we made it" said Aaron. "You do know there could be a Walker in their right?" Said Gumball. "Good point. Mark im going to need you to point your gun at the closet in case there's a Walker" said Aaron. "Alright fine" said Mark point his pistol at the door. Aaron slowly reached his hand toward the door, grabbed the door knob, and started to turn the knob slowly. As soon as the door knob was turned all the way Aaron counted down with his fingers from 3 to 1 and Flung the door open to find Rocky popping out looking a little frightened. "ARE YOU BIT?" shouted Mark pointing the gun at Rocky. "W-w-w" was all of Rocky's response. "ANSWER ME! WERE YOU BIT?" shouted Mark again. "N-no of course not I hid in this closet when the school was getting overrun" said Rocky.
"Mark put the gun down he isn't bitten" said Aaron. "How do you even know that if people are bitten that they will turn?" said Darwin. "Its like that in every zombie movie or show" said Aaron. "Oh well that makes sense" said Darwin smiling. "yeah yeah now whats up with Rocky here. Are we taking him out or what" said Jamie. "At least give him a chance" said Penny. "Yeah plus he wasn't even bit" said Maddie. "Alright Rocky how did you get into the closet?" said Danny. "Well it all started when the school was getting over run" said Rocky. "I ran out of the cafeteria as fast as I could and I tried to get
to the buses to get outta here, but before I got to the parking lot I was almost over runed by a swarm of zombies" said Rocky. "You mean Walkers?" said Gumball.
"So that's what you guys call them huh? Well that's names sounds good ill use that" said Rocky. "Now where was I? Oh right I was being chased down the hall until I found this closet and I hid in here ever since" said Rocky. "Well that was pretty interesting Rocky" said Aaron. "Wait didn't you say that the Bus is still in the parking lot?" said Penny. "That could get us all out of here" said Carrie. "Yeah and with all of us in a group it shouldn't be hard to handle" said Malcolm. "I hate to break it too you guys but I already tried" said Rocky. "WHAT!? I thought you were trapped in that closet?" said Mark. "I was I sneeked out later around sunset to try and get out but when I tried to start the engine it wouldn't start. The spark plugs were gone" said Rocky. "You couldn't just get another one from the one of the other buses?" said Jamie. "Their was only one left" said Rocky. "Damnit" said Mark. "Hey watch the language Mark we have a little kid here you know" said Maddie. "Whatever" said Mark. "What are we going to do now?" said Teri. "We'll think of something but for now we need weapons" said Aaron. "Rocky we need to get to your supply closet for some weapons to get out of here. Can you take us?" said Danny. "Sure thing dudes" said Rocky.
5 MINUTES LATER...
Rocky open the door to his supply closet to find tools and other useful devices everywhere. "well here it is guys. Its a good thing I had the keys so no one could get in" said Rocky. "No kidding. This place is a gold mine" said Danny. "Heck yeah it is. Alright everybody grab any tools that you can carry and be sure to get sharp tools like hedge trimmers or pitch forks. Screw drivers will work as well but only for close distance, now any questions?" said Aaron. Mark blurted out. "I have one. Why do we need this stuff when me and Jamie have guns? We can easily take those son's of bitches out" said Mark. "MARK NOT IN FRONT OF LUCY!" shouted Penny furiously. "Well there's two reasons mark. One, not all of us have weapons and what would happen if a walker came up to one of us and you and Jamie were busy with others huh? And two, with these tools it wont cause all that loud noise and that attracts
them" said Aaron.
"Hmm good point Watterson, ill take your word for it now lets clean out" said Mark. After about 10 minutes of getting armed up with shovels, hedge trimmers and garden hoes as well as clean out everything else for supplies, Everyone was ready. Aaron and Danny are both holding axes, Gumball, Darwin and Rocky had shovels in their hand. Penny, Maddie, and Rachel were holding some hedge trimmers, Carrie was holding a sharp garden hoe, Malcolm and Teri were holding garden knifes,
Jamie and Mark were holding some sharp pitch forks, and Tobias was holding a flat head screw driver. "Aw man why do I have to have the screw driver I wanted the axe" groaned Tobias. "DEAL WITH IT YOU LITTLE TWERP" shouted Rachel. "Hey hey chill out guys we need to keep our cool and get out of here" said Aaron "Uh why do we need that other stuff in the closet that we aren't using now?" said Lucy.
"Well you see Lucy that closet also had Tool kits and Auto parts which we need to get out of the city but I promise well be safe" said Aaron. Lucy smiled at Aaron and went back to her two sisters. "Now Lucy be sure to stay close to your sisters alright?" said Danny. "Alright I promise" said Lucy. The group headed to the front of the school and mad it to the school entrance doors. "Alright is everyone ready?" said Aaron. "READY!" said the group. Malcolm then tapped on Teri's shoulder making her turn around and wonder what the green fox wanted. "Teri stay close to me I don't want you to get separated or hurt" said Malcolm. Teri blushed by Malcolm being brave and willing to help her.
"Awww now aren't you the sweetest" said Teri. Teri then leaned over and kissed Malcolm on the cheek making the green fox blush.
"You can count on me staying with you and not getting separating" said Teri. "W-w-wow I w-w-won't let y-y-you down" said Malcolm still in a daze from Teri's friendly kiss to the cheek. "Uh Malcolm are you ready?" said Carrie. Malcolm shook off his daze and got back to focusing on the current situation.
"You bet I am" said Malcolm. "Alright me and Danny are going to kick the door open on 3 and we need to make are way down the street as quickly as we can, now on 3. 1...2...3!" shouted Aaron. Aaron and Danny kicked the school entrance doors open and the group quickly rushed outside.
